You are correct I have a few “nested” DCAs and I would not be selecting that one master DCA for this purpose. I am just not sure about it sliding over the DCA. I am use to certain faders being in certain places and having it slide over in the middle of a show means I have to take my eyes off of what’s going on on the stage to make sure I am adjusting the proper faders. So leave the DCA where it is and have the channels come up in the bank to the left of the DCA starting with layer A and wrapping to Layer B if need be. If the DCA is in the left bank Then the channels should come up in the next bank to the right. All this makes me wonder how much horse power it will take up.

Don’t give up! You should start the “magnifier” program in Windows 7!

(Start/Execute and then type “magnifier” if your windows is the english version at least )

Put it in fullscreen mode and magnify to 150%. Works great as a workaround! I tried it too with a 23″ touchscreen.

Still looking for the best touchscreen AIO however. So far I tested, HP, Acer, and I’m going to try the MSI Wind TOp AE2400 soon.

My prayers have been heard, Dante is coming!

The magnifier function is a winner! Not perfect, but an acceptable workaround (especially with a stylus)! Great thinking…

Put the save to USB key on the same page as the scenes page.

EDITOR SUGGESTIONS
Can we have a much larger (Wider) target select area for the faders in editor please. The target select area could include the section over the channel meter effectively making the fader select area twice as big. This will be of benefit to touch enabled or hi res screens as it is difficult to hit the small vertical fader target area with the mouse pointer. You are normally moving the mouse horizontally when tying to select a narrow vertical fader target.

Can we have “Next” & “Previous” channel buttons in the processing windows (perhaps move the current tabs to the right and put the Next/Previous buttons where the current “All” and “Ext Input/Preamp” tabs are now and straight below the window title which displays the current selected channel. Then – have persistent windows when you press the next/previous buttons – especially for the GEQ and PEQ. This will speed up making similar changes to many channels or for quickly selecting/adjusting monitor GEQ’s etc.

Replace the laptop arrow L/R Keys (currently fine level up/down) commands to select Next (R arrow) and Previous (L Arrow) channels. With the up arrow (level up) and down arrows (Level Down) plus modifier keys (course/fine) used to adjust levels as they do now. I also just found out that on my MacBook Pro that selecting Function/Home (Left arrow) will send a fader to FULL!! or Function/End sets fader to fully Off! Scary!!! Can this be prevented?

How about a small non target area (space) between the Mute and PAFL keys so you are less likely to hit mute when you meant to hit PAFL! Perhaps put the channel type there (eq IP,GP, AUX etc) but make it non selectable so you still have to hit the name part (below PAFL) to name or color the channel?

SCENES: A way to repeat paste a scene or group of scenes. Can this be done currently in reorder mode without needing to reselect the scenes to be pasted each time? This is because for theatre scene saving you need to use the update scene save (not store all) so scenes need to already have been saved with required parameters. Either that or a couple of “Custom Store” buttons where you preselect what gets stored/excluded with that button (save) press.

Thats my wish list for now!

Forgive me if either of these ideas has been mentioned in the 16 pages of suggestions:

I’d love to see some sort of “Instant Messaging” between the console and whatever device is running Editor. In a perfect word both parties may be on intercom, but I’ll sit in the audience with the laptop tweaking the mix from the console – it’s not uncommon I’d love to get a message to the operator upstairs.

Also – I’d love to be able to drag and drop channels in the editor software. Many shows/weeks, I could do 90% of my mix on the first layer, but sometimes need inputs the are programmed on the 3rd layer…being able to simply grab that channel (with associated parameters) and dragging it to the first layer would be a big time saver. Sure it’s easy to reprogram, but I’d love to not have to. The information is already in the console – I’d just like to rearrange the layout.

I’m sure it’s possible in Editor, but I have yet to figure out how – a custom layout where programmed channels that you don’t need can be invisible – or absent so if you’re only mixing 20 channels you don’t have 48 to look through.

I love the system, and 6 months in even our analog guys without computer skills are doing well with it.

i hope it has not been said yet:
editor:

ability to save various custom layouts (forgotten?)

free assignable shortcuts for editor

assignable geq “faders” to pl6

general:

and to point out again: ganged channels delay RELATIVE MODE

example kick delay is 3m snare is 3.20m – i raise kick to 4m the snare follows to 4.20m

this makes life a lot easyer and believe me working with channel delays is a killer in bad rooms

in fact for me the two main advantages of digital live mixing are channel delays AND the possibility to move the f.o.h. in case the venue is not,or lets say badly visited.(i want to be with the crowd so i hear what they hear)
