Scene and File Management Tips on Yamaha PM

Walk through managing scenes and recalls on the Yamaha PM series of consoles. Yamaha PM consoles are different in their approach to saving overall files - learn Lee’s workaround that he developed to handle these differences effectively.

Key Points:
  • Tailoring scenes to individual songs, focusing mainly on changing faders and vocal bus assignments, is incredibly important - especially when it comes to effects like parallel compression or delay.
  • Discover the store function to create new scenes, how to label them, and set focus parameters.
  • Lee demonstrates how to selectively recall parameters, such as faders, using the console’s library feature. This includes disabling certain inputs like vocal faders to maintain manual control.
  • A key workaround is using a flash drive as an external storage device for the Yamaha consoles, effectively allowing the console to save entire files externally, which is a feature that’s not inherently available in the console’s design.
