[QUOTE="Jason Misterka, post: 48998, member: 428"] Re: Lab Gruppen PLM Presets Help Michael -I know why I want to use presets. I never said Lab is changing what presets do, just that there MAY be a way to keep the FRAME NAME static throughout presets. I know about the white light, and I know I need to walk more, but I was hoping to be able to program the system at the FOH console for most things. Walking back and forth around the arena, especially in a time crunch, doesn't sound like much fun. For ground stack PA systems, I don't have much issue with this, what is what is obvious. But when using the PLMs for 4-5 main array zones per side, 2-3 outfill array zones per side, numerous sub array zones, and possibly 2 front fill zones (inside and outside, etc), it gets a little confusing to me. I guess I'm weird, but I sure would like to sit at FOH and know that what I am touching is what I think I'm touching. Also - maybe this is the problem with my process? I don't build a work area each show. I have a standard work area already populated with ALL of our amplifiers. That way I don't have to drag those boxes around over and over again. When I am at a gig and the amplifier is not on the network, it just stays dark. I also often prepare the show in advance at home or on the truck drive up. I don't want to have to make a bunch of virtual amp racks and copy/paste/replace upon arrival. I just build it in my default work area already populated with our amp racks, and then upon network connection to the amp racks, I tell the amps to use the computer data. It also allows me to use the groups to do my shading, delay, EQ, etc for alignments. When I return to the venue, I load the correct venue on the controller.
