Convert an X32 scene to a dLive show
Switching consoles mid-tour or mid-advance doesn't have to mean retyping the show. Import an X32/M32 scene, let load·in build the one record of the show, and export it as a native dLive Director show archive.
Steps
- Import the X32/M32 scene. load·in reads the .scn file into one record of the show — names, colors, and the fields it supports.
- Review the input list. This is the moment to catch anything before it crosses to a different desk's format.
- Export as a dLive show. load·in writes a Director show archive (.tar.gz) from the same record.
- Load it in Director or on the dLive console. Confirm the load there — cross-desk translation does not imply every parameter carried across.
Cross-desk generation does not imply complete parameter translation. Each console page states what carries and what doesn't — verify the exported file in the destination desk's own editor before show use.
This is the workflow that makes a console swap mid-tour survivable: the record of the show moves with you, even when the hardware doesn't.
FAQ
No. Names, colors, and the disclosed shared fields translate; console-specific processing does not carry across desk families. Check /consoles/allen-heath-dlive/ for the current field list.
Yes — the same input-list record works in either direction between any two supported native workflows.
The input list and CSV export are free; native file export on both ends follows each console's own free/Pro status.
