Hi Allen&Heath developers (Nicola)
I do understand that development focus is on dLive and if I would have money and work for it… I would buy the Lovely desk.
I am pretty happy with the GLD for now. Small footprint, weight is all pro GLD vs dLive. So we are at 1.51 for some time now. Are there plans for a new update with new features ? Or is this it ?
There are still some items on my wishlist and some are easy to implement in my opinion..
* pre-amp ganging (pad/gain only)
* relative pan ganging (yamaha style)
* more stereo channels possibility (would like to have 4)
* a FX distortion to get more bite (the rotary drive on steriods)
* music player that can play from a USB directory
* waterfall screen like Qu (boy toy)
* ipad app with metering screen (like Qu)
* ipad app with fx config support
* GLD-You app on iphone/android
* softbuttons that can play/pause music player
* scene safe for FX send / Aux Send split up (they are bound together now)
* RTA in group channel show group audio in stead of master or PFL audio. That is confusing !
* audio level meter/indication on a DCA
* all audio metering levels pre/post fader option in settings
* Latch option for ALT buttonPlease inform me/us on future plans with GLD and keep up the good work.
Regards

We’re on track for an annual update at this point.
Even with A&H’s focus on dLive, I would be shocked if either the GLD or QU are close to end-of-life. They were both refreshed with “Chrome” editions within the last year, which I would expect equates to no less than 5 more years of support. I could be wrong, but that would seem fair. Having that confirmed by A&H would always be appreciated. I won’t hold my breath though.
I am likewise happy with the GLD product line. Our system is in use fairly regularly and our clients have been very satisfied. I have a wish list as well, which has been shared in other threads. Aside from my top requests (ducking, downward expansion, pop groups, dedicated trim for stereo recording, and updated GLD-app), I am also interested in several of your suggestions:
* relative pan ganging (yamaha style)
* audio level meter/indication on a DCA
* Latch option for ALT buttonThanks for sharing.
2016/01/19 at 9:23 pm #53380HawkParticipantiLive has been updated with dLive, GLD is the next and then Qu follows. That’s just my guess.
2016/01/19 at 10:25 pm #53382GCumbeeParticipantI think the product line is set pretty well right now. From my dealer point of view we have the models and price points to compete well.
2016/05/02 at 2:43 pm #55407plevrierParticipantIt has been a year now since the last update. (1.51).
I am still hoping for some bugfixes and new functionality as it is also done in de Qu series.
Can anybody from A&H clarify the roadmap for GLD series ? If this is it, I will still use the GLD but for a new console I will check out other manufacturers as well.
regards,
Pascal2016/05/11 at 5:33 pm #55697HawkParticipantGLD needs a refresh.
2016/05/11 at 6:37 pm #55698mervakaParticipantIs there anything in particular you want?
2016/05/11 at 8:37 pm #55701JLDParticipantWe all have different requirements and wishes, these are mine and i believe that they can be implemented within the existing hardware.
A software update with
– Ducker.
– DCA Spill.
would be nice.Then comes hardware update wishes for the next purchase, can we see a gen2 facelift maybe?
– 2 dSnake ports.
– More inputs on the back of surface.
– Compressor and gate indication diods on the surface.
– More busses then 30/20 maybe 40/30.
– More inputs 56 mon and 8 stereo would be a nice and take a step up from the QUI think that the GLD is a nice tool and fits well into the product line. With some improvement like mentioned above it must have many ear still be the dlive little brother.
2016/05/14 at 6:46 am #55738HawkParticipantHardware wish list for next gen GLD:
1. USB audio interface built in. Spend over $1000 on a Dante card for multi-track recording is just too much.
2. More local inputs. Since there is no dedicate talkback mic input, 4 mic surface inputs may not enough for wireless mics.
3. Better meter LEDs.
4. Still support dsnake.
5. Keep the under $5000 price tag.2016/05/15 at 3:40 am #55750jcarterParticipantThe “expander” port is there for more local I/O if needed (though it’s AR84-only, so just an extra 8×4). I prefer the flexibility of that approach rather than adding to the size and cost of the desk with local I/O that may not be useful in all applications.
For the GLD mk2, I’d like to see A&H turn the expander into a full-fledged dSnake port rather than limiting it to 8×4.
2016/05/23 at 1:54 am #55981HawkParticipantthat will just be more expensive
2016/05/23 at 10:36 am #55995plevrierParticipantWell no response from anybody from A&H. I am disappointed. It seems that GLD platform is what is it for now and no updates. That is a shame. the Qu platform has some really nice features in the Remote Apps which are not in GLD.
So please A&H share your roadmap for GLD.
2016/05/30 at 12:21 pm #56177ScottParticipantMy GLD firmware wish list.
1. Metering on DCAs
2. When ganging 2 channels, I would like an option for PAN control to work like it does in the Qu series for LINKed channels.
3. Read-only scenes, that only the admin user can modify, or delete.2016/06/23 at 6:43 pm #56765plevrierParticipantSo today I saw the webinar for dLive. I like that console but for now I am still waiting for any changes / updates for GLD ?
WHAT IS THE PLAN ? Please A&H I am asking for a long time now. Take just 1 minute to reply and state what the future is for GLD.
2016/06/23 at 10:43 pm #56766NitishParticipantHello,
Allen & Heath should come up with new firmware updates for GLD.
As Follows:-
* Analogue type Red Gain/Preamp Knob in preamp section. Quite confusing in digital dB Bvalues.
* Dedicated Mute Groups.
* Metering on DCAs.
* With some more output busses configuration.
* Shure and Sennheiser Libraries.
