Is it safe to load a new show file on an open rig?
Generally we turn on the amps but leave them muted at the controller until the board is up and ready to go. But during a changeover, assuming that all outputs in the current file are muted, and all outputs in the show file to be loaded are muted, will loading that new show file cause any audible output (ie pops or clicks or anything)?
If this is the case, we won't have to bring a second console to our next show which will be very convenient. |

It's always good practice to mute your processor or at least the inputs being fed from that console. I've been running Dante straight into Lake for changeover music so console files can be loaded and house stays up. There's always someone who forgets to mute an input or output and then in the middle of the patch guys swapping hoses between splits bam!

Some plugins also tend to pop when loading themselves onto the DSP cards. I recently got a serious kaboom thru the system when hitting undo on the snapshot page. That said I personally almost never go out and mute controller inputs, but when show file is loading I try to hit the mute on the desk in fraction of a second once the file has loaded and I see master mute is off.
