Download the DiGiCo Session Setup Checklist
Are you sick of reading the users manual every time you need to set up an SD5?
Me, too!
Good news. Last night I got Aleš real drunk and got him to spill the beans about setting up a session from scratch. There was a lot of gibberish in there, but I was able to edit it down into something comprehensible.
Let me know if this helps.
