Re: GLD80 Discussion
Come up with a show file with your initial setup - I/O patching, effects, etc. Save default channel name parts such as kick, snare, LVoc, BVoc, in those white spaces so you can recall quickly. Save this as your default show so you don't have to start from scratch for every gig.
I've gone to starting my drum patch on channel 13, leaving the top page of inputs for things I touch more often. If you have a starting patch like that, you can go ahead and name the channels.
When I did a festival (I used the GLD for monitors - FOH was an M7), I over-did the number of channels - 6 vocals, 3 electrics, etc. I did this to be covered for everything and to match the FOH patch, but I later decided that it was worth the couple seconds to collapse the number of channels in use to fit on 2 pages of the left bank rather than 3.
For whatever reason I haven't done much with scenes, but rather show files for different groups.
