Episode 3: Allen & Heath dLive (The Manuals You Ignored — All the Stuff That Actually Matters)
Welcome back to RTFM: The Manual You Ignored the slightly sarcastic, zero-fluff series where we turn user guides and manuals into something you can actually use. In this episode, we’re pulling from multiple Allen & Heath dLive user guides and reference manuals to give you the practical, real-world overview people wish they had before show day: core setup and workflow, routing and I/O fundamentals, scenes vs. shows (and how to not accidentally nuke your work), patching logic that finally makes sense, gain structure and meter truth, FX and bussing that won’t paint you into a corner, plus the “don’t learn this the hard way” pitfalls that always show up during changeover. Think of it as the dLive docs, translated, prioritized, and filtered for humans.
