Where are all the Console and Mix settings stored in a production setup?

In a production setup, all the Console and Mix settings are typically stored in Scenes. Scenes represent specific snapshots of all the settings at a given moment, allowing for quick and efficient recall of complex arrangements of audio levels, effects, routing, and other parameters. This is particularly useful in live production and recording environments where different parts of a show may require different audio settings.

The use of Scenes assists audio engineers in managing transitions seamlessly, ensuring that changes can be made quickly as the production progresses without needing to manually adjust each individual setting on the console. By storing settings in Scenes, it also allows for a more organized approach to managing the audio landscape throughout the performance or recording session.

In contrast, Tracks are primarily used for the arrangement and playback of audio clips during a production, while Configurations generally refer to the overall setup or layout of the mixing console or equipment, and Layers may relate to how different audio elements are organized for mixing but do not directly store the actual console and mix settings. Thus, Scenes emerge as the most appropriate choice for where Console and Mix settings are stored.
