March 18th has come and gone. Was hoping for Keith to drop some good news! 😐

Cl5 – signal would come through as Digital Input and would only allow for Digital Trim, Gain Compensation on this desk would need to be set.

M7CL/LS9/*Similar Desks – fitted with a Dante card these would bring the signal in post HA and would require the user to use the Channel EQ trim for adjustments. No gain compensation is available for these.

*If I/O Patches are needing to change for a show I would suggest either Monitor guy incorporates TIE line patch changes for the FOH guy
Or *soon, turn on Control pass through for the SQ and the FOH engineer should be able to trigger the SQ over the Dante primary Network with midi commands. SQ would need specific scenes with only Tie Line changes.

Option A
This is what we purchased and it works well however not all Dante devices run at 96k. If any Dante device or DVS that routes through the Dante card is unable to run at 96k then the Desk & Dante card’s sample rate much be changed to match. Tie lines from Dante to Slink work great, but HA control is proprietary to A&H. Any FOH desk that has Dante can receive the signal, but the HA would only be adjustable via the monitor desk and the FOH desk would need to use trim. For some desks this is not ideal and can cause frustration.

This totally just my own thinking, but if I were to select Aux 1, Routing tab, Library button, I would have saved routing from previous Aux’s that I had saved. This would be helpful for venues with rotating musicians as well as duplicating mixes across different Aux busses. It would be nice for Copy/Paste/Reset to be applied to in some way for this to work on the fly. Maybe Sell Aux or Mtrx and Copy+Routing button would grab and apply the same data being saved in the library?

If I were to Select Ch1, Routing tab, Library I wouldn’t expect it to function.

Maybe the PAFL could be considered a SOLO in place for the Musician listening to their own sources? This would let the Musician Listen to their Guitar specifically until they release the SOLO and get their Mix back. Only way I can think is maybe the Source being SOLO’d would mute all other sources send to that mix leaving just the desired source Un muted. Turning off the SOLO would restore the all Mutes? No extra busses needed.

Is there a 100mbps Switch in line? Dante limits to 32×32 within a 100mbps network. 1000mbps network provides full bandwidth.

[Stretch480Participant]

Could make the Library button accessible from the Routing page.

Dante is def the way to go.. Been using the Card for I/O and Recording. I love the Console Network Tunneling. Very handy for using the DAW control while also running Dante.

I have been using the Master Fader as the ‘Listening Master’ and the Soft Rotaries as my Mix Bux Masters. This is a setting found under Setup-Mixer Config-Role-Master Fader Mode. I wish the Headphone Volume Knob could be the Listening Master for both Headphone Jack and Listen Bus.

[Stretch480Participant]

Maybe just a long press on the patch Square?

[Stretch480Participant]

+1 Not sure why Soft Rotary controls can execute specific MIDI, but Soft Keys cannot.

Thanks Nicola!
