TDM Plug-Ins & Venue Flashcards
Why can’t VENUE plug-ins be installed and adjusted on the VENUE standalone software?
Because VENUE’s TDM plug-ins run on the Mix Engine DSPs and not on the host computer.
What kinds of storage devices can be used to install plug-ins onto a VENUE system?
USB drive or CD-ROM.
When installing plug-ins on D-Dhow or Profile that include a large amount of presets or impulse response files for convolution reverbs, what can be done to copy the files at a faster speed.
Use one of the USB 2.0 ports on the FOH/Mix Rack, instead of the port on the console.
What version of USB ports are on the SC48?
2.0
Where should installers on a USB drive be located?
They must be located in a folder at the root level of the USB drive called “TDM Plug-Ins” and each plug-in you want to install must be in its own folder e.g. TDM Plug-Ins/Fairchild 660.
What happens when reactivating plug-ins?
The system needs to reinintialise the plug-in racks which will interrupt audio.
How many rack slots are available to hold plug-ins on an SC48 system?
40 (4x10).
How many rack slots are available to hold plug-ins on a D-Show or Profile system?

Why should you decide what plug-ins you will use BEFORE beginning a show performance?
Adding plug-ins to the racks during performance will cause an interruption of audio.
Which plug-in rack view allows you to control plug-in parameters on screen?
Zoom view.
