It from the mad cow collection! ;-)

Exactly right! For ages I too had it backwards! Even the X32 "greats" (like Drew Brashler) don't explain this properly. You're the first to say it with a video, though I've been saying it on FB pages for some time. I, too, spent time safe-ing stuff before I saved a scene then, very confusingly, wondering why it was different when I loaded it back. Scène safe means that whatever you have "x'd" on the physical desk will never be overwritten by the incoming /loading scene. So, once you've safed what you want you will never have to do it again. Good explanation Dana.

Anytime I get compared to Drew, it really makes my day! I have watched his videos dozens of times and he has really helped me out. But just like you, I often came away more confused then before I watched them. Thanks for the kind words.

Great video Dana...thank you. The one piece I'm struggling with, and maybe I'm just overthinking it, but can safes be set to protect against recalling snippet elements? Or, am I missing the point of snippets - similar to your original confusion - in that I control what DOES get saved into the snippet, so therefore I shouldn't need to protect channels/params on the recall side? Backstory: I don't want to use scenes for each song our band does, given the time it takes to load a scene, so I'm using snippets to save effects, some fader settings, etc. But if I want to protect against a certain snippet element from being recalled is there any way to do that other than *don't* save that setting to begin with? Thanks for your help!

Scene Safes are hard to grasp as everything is backwards. Snippets on the other hand are nothing more then a mini scene within that same scene. AFAIK, you really don't need to do anything to a snippet or a cue, other then to set it up correctly.

damn god video dana

Thanks Brother! How goes it in your neck of the woods?

Thanks for the video. I have 4 Midas M32 mixers and the video on their website is 7 years old and very outdated.

Glad I could help

I'm understanding that Scene Safes don't lock the parameters, as one would expect. But I still can't wrap my brain around how they DO work. But thanks for making the video. I think If I watch it a few more times, hopefully the lightbulb will come on for me. I (think) I lost an hour's worth of work writing labels, and setting up inputs/outpus. This time I DID save a backup scene. In case I need it. Good tips.

I really don't think that it should even be an option, but some people do use it and to me, it is much easier just saving the scene.

Better late than never I guess… the Scene Safes are used to tell the mixer not to change any of the checked parameters on the mixer if you load the currently selected (highlighted) scene. Here’s a use case to help cement the understanding: Let’s pretend you have a previous scene saved with all your favorite effects dialed in just the way you like them. Now it’s a new day and you’re working with a band you’ve never worked with before. You decided to load your factory reset scene and set this band up from scratch. You have the whole mixer set up except you’ve yet to set up any effects. No sweat… you can select your previous scene and check all of the safes EXCEPT effects and then load it. The mixer will only load the unchecked effects section keeping the rest of the work you completed for the new band untouched. If you have a mixer set up in a venue where others can reach it and load their own scenes, you’ll want to do your due diligence and make sure your channel and parameter safes are set (and backed up). That way… if others forget to use a scene safe (or don’t understand them fully), your global safe items won’t be replaced with their careless scene loads. To be completely protected, you’ll also want to make a full mixer backup part of your shutdown procedure and a mixer restore part of your boot up. Then the worst they can do is physically damage your equipment.
