 # VBAN CMD
+
 This package offers a Python interface for [Voicemeeter VBAN TEXT](https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/VBANProtocol_Specifications.pdf#page=19) as well as the [Voicemeeter RT Packet Service](https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/VBANProtocol_Specifications.pdf#page=27) which allows a client to send and receive parameter values over a local network.
 
 It may be used standalone or to extend the [Voicemeeter Remote Python API](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter-api-python)

 ## Profiles

 Profiles through config files are supported.
 
 Three example profiles are provided with the package, one for each kind of Voicemeeter.

+To test one first rename \_profiles directory to profiles.
 They will be loaded into memory but not applied. To apply one you may do:
 `vmr.apply_profile('config')`, but remember to save your current settings first.
 
 profiles directory can be safely deleted if you don't wish to load them each time.
 
 A config can contain any key that `connect.apply()` would accept. Additionally, `extends` can be provided to inherit from another profile. Two profiles are available by default:
-- `blank`, all strip off and all sliders to `0.0`. mono, solo, mute, eq all disabled.
-- `base`, all physical strip to `A1`, all virtual strip to `B1`, all sliders to `0.0`.
