Snapshot Defined
A snapshot is a complete collection of all settings for the entire active Real-
time Rack configuration. “All settings” are all parameter values in all Views,
including all plug-in assignments in all channels, the current settings and state
(active, disabled, etc) of all assigned plug-ins, and I/O Gain and Delay Group
settings for all channels. All Snapshots are user-created.
Snapshots are saved as a disk file so the complete session can be subsequently recalled
and/or transferred between systems and operators. Snapshots can be loaded directly from
within the Soundcraft Vi console via Ethernet using the Vi CUE functions.
Snapshots files have the “.uadmix” suffix. File suffixes are only visible in the OS X Finder
when the “Show all filename extensions” option is checked in the OS X Finder’s Prefer-
ences window.
Snapshots Folder Location
All Snapshot files are stored at the following location within the Mac OS X file
system:
• Macintosh HD/Users/[account name]/Documents/Universal Audio/Snapshots
