Thanks guma, I have more investigation to do.

Chris

You want a high signal level as early as possible, and you don’t need to be thinking about the pad until you’ve at least turned the preamp down as far as it will go.

The preamp will go down to +5 without the pad, 9dB below where you have it now. To start with, do that, and turn your receiver outputs up by 9dB. You’ll get a 9dB improvement in…[Read more]

How often are you giving the same name to more than one channel?

I’d always have my channels labelled in advance, before adjusting the channel processing. If I wanted to copy the same starting settings to 5 vocal mics I’d have to go back and re-do their individual names afterwards.

Chris

This is a known issue with 1.60.

1.61 fixes it.

Chris

Yes, absolutely. You’d have to bring it into the first GLD and then send it back out via the Dante card slot.

Chris

Ryan Jenkins posted earlier with exactly the same issue of an unresponsive layer C button.

Lost layer C

I’ve seen the delayed response behaviour years ago on a GLD. The control surface stopped responding to any buttons, then after about 20 seconds it rapidly executed all the commands it had been…[Read more]

I don’t know, I haven’t used it. If the rest of the Aviom stuff is compatible with itself across different versions then it’ll be fine, but I’m not familiar with it.

Chris

There’s a selectable Aviom mode in the I/O screen.

You can patch whatever you want to it, direct outs, input sockets, auxes, whatever. Play with it in the editor.

Release notes here, they’re on the “GLD software” page.

I’ve extracted 1.61 to my flash drive and noticed that the “Version.txt” files inside still contain “V1.60”, are they supposed to? I deleted the previous firmware folders and md5 files before extracting. I will of course…[Read more]

Input patch on the Qu.

Chris

I always assign the FX DCA to the sends, it avoids abruptly killing reverb tails when muted, which sounds very un-natural.

Chris

iTunes will use the operating system default audio output, is that set to the Qu24?

The QU24 will be sending data to your DAW to indicate the fader positions, (probably via MIDI but I don’t know for sure) and your plugins will have been set to listen to this.

Chris

He isn’t using it as a local expander, it’s plugged into the expander port of the AR2412.

You’re doing everything correctly, I’d expect that to be working. It might be worth trying it in the local expander port to see if it works there though.

Chris

You can’t add any more stereo channels (or remove the existing ones), but you can link channels together with the “ganging” function.

You can have up to 8 gangs, and each gang can have up to 8 members. If you link everything except the pan controls it will act as a stereo channel (except for when you PFL it, as you’ll only get one side unless…[Read more]

Do you have any MIDI devices connected?

Chris

Unity is -18dBFS, commercial recordings will have been normalised to 0dBFS. Leave the headroom there when you record for any peaks, and limit + normalise in a DAW before release.
