Running IEMS off of Dlive 7000

[Fostex]

Good morning!

I have a pretty loaded question here. I am a FOH Sound Tech for a church setting. My band members have had constant complaints about the IEMS changing when I change EQs and compressions as needed. I run waves Sound-grid for our effects and processed vocals and such. Is there a way to fix this issue, without purchasing another board for an isolated IEM mix personally for them? I need the freedom to change things in waves without the hindrances of there IEM mix changing as I work. Any answer I am sure would be helpful.

Thanks
David

Hello David,

Where is your insert for Waves plugins? Are you using insert A or B?

What’s your kickoff point for where you’re sending the signal to the IEMs?

Suggestion… depending on your channel count, you could double patch the vocalist channels and process and send that strictly to their IEMs only and that could solve the problem also.

Thanks for the response. My insert would be B. My kickoff point? I am sorry I don’t understand what you mean in those terms.

Thanks
David

Meant to say pick off point…

Umm.. those are running into the CDM64. If that’s what you meant lol.

I am very new to this console and I/O.

Select the aux and go to the “routing” tab on the touchscreen. There are a number of pick-off points you can select between in the dropdown box in the upper right corner–everywhere from post-preamp to post-delay. Signal flow is preamp-trim-gate-EQ-compressor-delay, so it’s possible to do a post-EQ feed with no compression if that’s what you want.

For a given aux, you can select pre/post fade channel by channel, but the pre-fade pickoff point is the same for everything going into that aux.

As suggested, the first option is to choose a “global send” pick point for the auxes that is before your waves processing.

Second option is to duplicate channels. You will use one instance of the channel for normal FOH use and the duplicated channel that you send only to IEM. This way the IEM channels can have their own EQ, compression, etc independant of the other “FOH” version of that channel that you put your Waves stuff into. You don’t necessarily have to duplicate every channel for IEM – just the ones that you change the most. Most likely vocals, etc. Hopefully with 128 available channels on the DLive, you have enough capacity that you can duplicate the needed channels.
