Thanks all for the input.

Have a nice 2023 🙂

Upgrade your desks and mixrack, there’s no reason to stay on 1.93

Good luck

Select Mix PAFL Scene is what you’re looking for I think.

Being able to library gain values on-mass would mean switching between various incarnations of the IO eco system (eg. today we’re going to us DX boxes etc) would be quicker and easier.

Agree on the above. The eco system asks for possibility to store gains.

Hey Wolfgang. Thanks for your input. I must say my hardware version is smooth. Maybe there are different versions?

It seems to work best on kick. Snare is immediately artificial indeed. Too bad. I like my desk a lot. But this could be better in my opinion.

Are there people happy with the transient fx ? I do have an original in my rack in the studio and the one in the dlive behaves completely different.

I was quite disappointed when I just had my dlive. So I left the transient controller untouched and removed it from the rack. Experimenting again, thinking I must have been doing things the wrong way but still unsatisfied with the result.

I can’t get it sounding “natural” and consistent. Is there some kind of secret to get ik working musically ? I tried lowering input, output. As soon as I touch attack or sustain it is immediately “too much”.

Are there people using them with succes ?

Thanks for the input

Thanks Scott.

I do have a desk and director at home. It will be a little bit of trial and error.
I’ve contacted our Belgian distributor. They are gonna check with A&H. If they come up with something, I’ll add it here.

Have a nice day and thanks for the input.

Hey Scott

Thanks for your input.

Is their a document available which mentions all parameters and what they impact ?

Thanks for your input.

I’m pretty sure gain structure was fine. Also, when changing clock settings noise disappeared without changing gain. Above that, when monitoring dLive and pre-amps, all was good. Noise was on the return channels (PT through Dante Virtual Soundcard)
I think we can rule clipping out.

I’ve done recordings before with the desk and never had any issues (even when recording with less headroom). I must say this was not in studiolike conditions like this weekend. Maybe the issue was there, but barely noticeable cause rather subtle and in a live environment.

If I understand correct both options are the way to go. So I’ll try to reproduce the artefacts I got with option 1 at my home studio. If I can reproduce I will give a heads up. Maybe we can troubleshoot from there.

As a side note, pretty happy with the pre-amps in combination with m49, aea, coles, dpa mics.

Once more, thanks for the time and effort to Nicola and all other participants.

Allen & Heath community is a nice place !

Can someone confirm the following .

Option 1 ;
Dlive is master. This setting is made in config tab on desk.
In Dante controller. You make Dante card preferred leader and set to ext sync.
All should be fine.

Option 2 ;
Dlive is synced to Dante card. This setting is made in config tab on desk.
In Dante controller. Dante is preferred leader. No external sync necessary.
All should be fine.

Both options have matching sample rates and bit depths although that is not always necessary.

Is there information why option 1 not always seems to work ? (I had the same issue as the original poster, although not as pronounced and only when more sound pressure was added. In silent passages (almost) no issue.

My setup is dm0 with Dante 64 and c2500 surface. No waves rack or anything attached.
Straight Ethernet line between Dante card and MacBook operating Big Sur and Pro Tools 2021.12 with Dante virtual sound card as engine.

All cards and racks have latest firmware (1.92 at this point in time). Dante card also up to date with latest firmware. Not sure about version number.

Thanks for the input.

Just thinking out loud. At what sample rate are you recording ? 64×64 is only when on 48kHz. Check your Dante settings.
