RTFM: The Manual You Ignored
The Manual You Ignored Podcast is the no-fluff, slightly sarcastic show where we turn product user guides into audio you can actually use. Each episode breaks down the settings, workflows, and “gotchas” you normally discover five minutes before doors, so you can get the gear working faster, avoid the common mistakes, and spend less time guessing (or panic-Googling). AI helps do the heavy reading; a real human filters it into the parts that matter.

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.
