Hello
I’m still kinda new around here. Our church is planning on purchasing an iLive system very soon. I think I have a pretty good understanding of how it all works. Been playing around with the editor software.

Anyways we do plays/dramas for Easter and Christmas at church. Nothing too fancy but a mix of songs and story telling. In the past all of the “speaking” parts have been recorded, and the music either full band or singer(s) with backing tracks. There are also two levels to the stage and in the past I was constantly “tweaking”. Turning monitors on/off, adjusting monitors for different songs and different singers on different levels. Nothing too crazy, but I am definitely ready to be able to store and recall scenes.

However I recently saw a video on the site where a guy had used Logic to control iLive. That got me to thinking. I do recording at home and am familiar with Pro Tools. Is there a way I could create a session in Pro Tools and have it control iLive? I know midi control is one of the updates in firmware 1.8. I guess essentially what I would like to do is, have a track inside the pro tools session with the background music and speech on it. Then have the scenes automatically switch as it played. I realize the session would have to be paused for songs with the live band, unless we used a click track and stuck to the “roadmap”. That is not too likely to happen. So pausing would probably be best. Anywho how hard would this be? And is there anything else that would make this easier? And we are planning on getting the Dante Audinate card with our system also if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

Looking at a T112/48.
