In fact it would wonderfully to have global overview, say all inputs and all mixes displaying dynamics and a level meter.
There are some much lesser systems out there that do this.
I virtually never use the meter screen due to it only displaying 16 Chanel’s max.
It’s just not enough. I’m constantly switching between user screens or from inputs1-16, then17-32

Yes, would like to see that changed also.
So another vote for changing this…

And: frozenwaffles: it seems like this is an wanted thing – not a bug – so don`t be so rough – cause A&H is doing a good job – always looking in the forum and have an open ear for requests.

frozenwaffles –

Nowhere in this thread did I see A&H refer to this situation as a “bug”, as you have asserted it is. The “issue” being described by A&H is that the virtual leds display a preview of what the dynamics screens would show on a selected channel. Personally, I have no problem. There is always an on-off indicator where you do wish to adjust any dynamics, either by touch screen or encoder knob.

If something doesn’t work AS INTENDED, certainly, fix it. If it’s just not YOUR preference, that doesn’t qualify as bad code. Maybe if they removed the lights entirely you wouldn’t have an issue?

frozenwaffles –

I know exactly the screen to which you refer. METERS SCREEN, with the meter ladders and “virtual LED” lights for gate, comp, limit. I thought that was clear in my post, apologies if I was unclear. The issue, as I see it, is that YOU want the lights under the meter ladders to indicate “ON/OFF”, and they are currently indicating GAIN REDUCTION STATUS per the current settings of those dynamics, WITHOUT REGARD TO ON/OFF STATUS of that dynamic. (p.52 owners manual) The owners manual does not say these are “on/off” indicators as far as I know. If you can show me where in the manual these are on/off indicators I humbly apologize. I look at the current situation as a feature of the mixer, and if everyone seems to not like it, perhaps it will be changed or modified.

Hi,

Showing GR meter data in the metering page is on the request list and will feature in v1.9. It would not show unless the dynamic device was ‘IN’ / active.

The big debate is whether the hardware channel processing strip GR meter LEDs should show red if the dynamics section is ‘OUT/bypassed’.

Most compressors and mix engineers, when we did research for iLive years ago, seemed to want to see the GR data displayed whether the device is IN or OUT. On the basis they can see what would happen and the IN button/state is always next to it – so you can see the full picture. Dedicated compressor units seem to do this. For Gates you could argue its a bit over the top – but we need to be consistent.

On the screen there are ways to make it clear. On iLive we chose the yellow gain curve and on the GLD (given it maybe used by semi-pro and even occasional users) we have used the GR data in grey to show more visible cues between GR IN and OUT.

We always listen, but we also must make things consistent and not radically different without thought.

Thanks for your patience on this feature and thanks for your passionate feedback on iLive.
