Some people have ask for a softkey that “unassign” insert to the channel where waves is used. This is for an emergency in the case waves server goes down.
The Insert Attributes item in the Scene Filters includes the In/Out. Create two Scenes with everything blocked apart from the Insert Attributes. One has all Inserts In, one has all Inserts Out. Assign the recall of this second Scene to your ‘panic’ SoftKey.
The problem with the scenes is that you CAN unsafe the on/off status. But if the channel doesn’t have routing assigned it doesn’t save this state. So to have a OFF button, you’ll have to do all the assignments and then turn them all off, save that scene for the Waves OFF, and assign that to a softkey.
Great insights in the posts above. I have a related suggestion to this topic: Any plans to integrate Waves control into the dLive (as has been implemented by Digidesign and Digico)? That would remove the need for a host computer to control WSG.
Why not make this easier? Implement “insert bypass groups” to be put on softkeys. Making scenes just for that is a lot more work and if you add or remove channel inserts to your show, you need to rework the “insert in/out” scenes as well. Could be so easy…
