And to present the other side to this argument, I’ve managed to remove our outboard system processing completely, such that the iLive system does everything. And it works very nicely. I run high/low pass on L, R and SUB main mixes, then run those into matrices to do speaker-based EQ, limiting and delays. Very easy to manage, and sounds much cleaner, more dynamic and with a better signal-to-noise ratio than I had previously achieved with our (admittedly low-to-mid-budget) analogue kit. Mine is a permanently-installed system that requires occasional flexibility, so if you’re touring or hiring your system your mileage might vary.
Needless to say I’m still really, really impressed with my new purchase!

-unknown.2010/09/22 at 12:35 pm #26423Sorry, meant to reply to this earlier.
No worries. In my dreamworld™ I had thought that defaulting settings like this would be helpful, but it turns out in the realworld™ our users can find their way around easily enough to not need that extra helping hand. Given that some of our users still can’t remember one end of a mic cable from another, I think that says something for the simplicity your system is capable of!

-unknown.2010/09/22 at 12:27 pm #26422Can we perhaps have the *option*? Actually I could find it very useful, but I’d need to be able to it off so as not to confuse newcomers to the desk or to the differences between DCA/VCA’s and Groups – the point about confusion is valid.

-unknown.2010/09/22 at 12:23 pm #26421Woohoo!
Thanks for the update, much appreciated!

-unknown.2010/09/12 at 12:50 pm #26363Thought of another one while struggling with EQ for a problematic head-mic this morning:
Having an RTA that can be overlayed with the selected channel’s EQ curve would be wonderful.

-unknown.2010/09/10 at 2:11 pm #26345Think you’d also need some kind of Roland mixer to plug the REAC into to get it working. From what I recall, these devices rely on a real mixer to do the mixing/routing for the 16 inputs supported by the M48, which I *think* then are mixed locally.
Sounds to me like a bloke with a laptop and some extra outputs from your existing A&H setup would be a cheaper and more compact solution? Or split the iLive inputs to another IDR unit if you need more dedicated outputs.

-unknown.2010/09/10 at 1:53 pm #26344Interesting thought. Question: Without the MixRack, how would one control pre-amp levels?

-unknown.2010/08/29 at 11:28 am #26238Second the white backlight!
Started IDR48 and t80 cold this morning and found Sub LPF set to 2KHz instead of 100Hz. Seemed that recalling show or scene loaded this correctly. I’ll start a separate thread as and when I get more info.

-unknown.2010/08/26 at 1:31 am #26212Hey Sam
Thanks for this and other replies. I’ll check my setup when i start it up tomorrow and will let you know what I find.

-unknown.2010/08/25 at 2:50 pm #26205Thanks, think I’d got that far already. What I’m confused about is how to make sure that it’s Layer A that shows on both banks whenever a scene is recalled. Presently if the desk was last looking at layer D before the recall is carried out, then the presets load and I’m still looking at layer D, albeit with whatever custom strip layout I saved.
How do I add layer view switching to the scene/show recall?

-unknown.2010/08/25 at 9:23 am #26200Yup – tried the softkey sim and found I can see and use the softkeys, but there appears to be no way to configure new functions to them. Maybe I missed something?
RE HPF/LPF… these are not entirely reliable yet. I think it’s every time I recall settings from a scene, that the LPF on my Sub mix (set to 100Hz) comes up as 2KHz. I then need to tweak it back down by hand. On one hand it’s no big deal, but on the other hand it *should* just work…

-unknown.2010/08/25 at 12:26 am #26196I second the GEQ suggestion above!
Also wonder whether we could have peak LED’s show for the A-D stage of the pre-amp? I managed to clip mine badly during a sermon over the weekend because the Pre was up too high with the subsequent Trim turned down. Thought first that the radio mic was over-saturating since there was no indication at the channel strip or any other metering that anything was wrong.
Some kind of Macro facility, especially for softkeys (see my thread elsewhere in this board) would be nice.
Also, did I miss something or are softkeys only programmable on a real control surface? Would love to have this ability, or to have it made more obvious that it’s there in the iLive Editor software if it *is* there already.
Otherwise, great job guys – keep up the good work!

-unknown.2010/08/25 at 12:20 am #26195My T80 has come brand new with Firmware 1.7 and has this “feature”. That said, I can’t honestly say it’s gotten in my way, and it doesn’t seem any different to how I remembered my demo consoles which ran various flavours of 1.6x.
Would be nice to fix though if possible. Perhaps Oscar, you could let us know if re-doing the upgrade fixes your issue?

-unknown.2010/08/25 at 12:17 am #26194That works given that we’re not using all the DCA’s. As it is, I’ve just put up with the faders being out of whack and locked the faders away from the desk layers, making them accessible only by specific intervention via Strip config or iLive Editor. That works well enough.
Guess I’ll put my perfectionist self out in the kennels for the night…
“A computer once beat me at chess. It was no match for me at kickboxing.”
-unknown.2010/08/13 at 9:20 am #26116Yup – matrices is how I’m planning to do it – and did when i last had the desk on demo. What i found was that when want more than 20dB attenuation of an output signal, the faders get less precise.
A trim function would help attenuate the signal such that I can leave the faders at 0dB, right in the area where best precision is available, just like the ideal input gain structure.
