Are you recording spoken-word only or also music?

Is the record feed a separate matrix or aux, or is it the same mix that goes to the mains?

I think it has to be .wav or .mp3

The music on my usb stick is in the format .flac so it has to be work

I’m pretty sure flac isn’t a supported format.

Flac is supported… See knowledge-base link below.

https://allen-heath.helpserve.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/451/124/gld-what-codecs-are-supported-for-usb-audio-playback

Interestingly, .mp3 and .m4a are *not* supported on units shipped after June 2013–new GLDs now support only .flac and .wav files.

janataeke, are you sure you’ve selected the option to view music in the playback folder? (pull up the options tab with the little button in the middle of the bar across the bottom of the touchscreen)

Network settings are in
Setup->Config->Network.

If your GLD isn’t connected to a network then I think if you turn DHCP off you should be fine.

[jcarterParticipant]

It looks like a power supply problem in the AR2412… takes about 15 minutes after turning on the power switch until the blue “power on” LED on the back lights up.

Once it actually powers up, the AR2412 connects to the GLD within seconds.

I swear I’m not making this up.

Our AR2412 will be shipped back to be repaired under warranty, and a demo unit to temporarily replace it is en route to the dealer… quite satisfied with the service.

[jcarterParticipant]

There’s always the option of using a stereo group for your mains, I guess.

Agree that not having L/R available in the input routing screen is a pain. I basically do *all* my routing from the touchscreen…

Yea J,
I think I’ve got it. Essentially, ‘scenes’ are a subset of ‘Shows’ (templates). So theoretically, If i had several user scenes, saving a user show would bring the scenes along with it. Is that right?
Thanks,

Correct.

I should also add the caution that *loading* a user show will overwrite the scene storage slots with whatever’s
stored in the show… when in doubt, save your board configuration in a show before loading a user show or a template!

[jcarterParticipant]

A template is similar to a show (essentially it’s a factory-defined show that you can’t change or delete).

Each show contains its own separate set of user libraries (saved EQ settings, dynamics, etc) and has its own set of 500 slots to save scenes.

There are some aspects of the board setup (PAFL preferences for example) that aren’t stored per-scene but only per-show. And I don’t think you can store a single scene to USB but only a complete show file.

Saving and recalling scenes is essentially instantaneous, saving and recalling shows can take a little longer. In a live situation, you’d generally be working off of one show file and flipping between saved scenes in that show (in a festival-type scenario you might have one saved show per band).

Clear as mud?

What about setting up a matrix to receive both your LR mix and a speech subgroup containing the speaking mics? You could push the speech group to +10 in the matrix*. The speech mics would be hitting the matrix twice, once from the LR mix your PA gets and again from the subgroup. Does anyone know if this would cause problems phase problems due to a time delay?

---

Any differences in delay between the two paths should* be automatically compensated by the processing.

*(At least that’s what the GLD rep from A&H’s Canadian distributor told me when we had one in for a demo before buying. I’ve never seen that in writing or checked it myself.)

Ok tried this, no luck.

HEre is the scenario. I play drums at my church and use a stereo aux into a mixer for foldback. I have all the sends to it set as pre fade, but when the guy doing sound makes a change to the dca it effects the level of what ever is feeding into the dca through my foldback. As im using in ears and am behind a shield, this throws me off alot as I cant whip out the in ears and rely on stage sound as all I hear is drums.

Is There a different way I should have the gld set up?

---

From the block diagram it looks like it’s possible to route a group into an aux… do you have any groups routed into your aux or do you have input channels only?

The reason that I’m asking is that even if the send *out* of the group to the aux is pre-fade, the inputs going *into* the group bus will be post fade (and therefore affected by DCA).

Also, is your problem channels being muted or is it only level changes related to DCA fader movements?

What are you trying to do? I’m having a hard time imagining a scenario where I wouldn’t want post-fade aux sends to follow changes to DCA faders.

Instead of using DCA’s you could just gang the mutes for the women and do the same for the men – that way it is still only one button push to mute the women or men. You don’t have to have a DCA on a strip somewhere to mute – or use one of the assignable buttons.

If the mutes are ganged, though, don’t you lose the ability to mute one channel individually?

This is an observation not an accusation.

The surest way to windup with nothing is to wait for everything. On the other hand, the 2nd mouse always gets the cheese.

Huh. I’ll take your word for it–I’ve personally only installed 1.10 and 1.12 (which both left the show files on the GLD intact).

I managed to procrastinate installing 1.11 long enough that 1.12 came out before I got it done–who’s got time to read 14-character scene names anyway?[]

Updates always leave saved show files intact. (edit: at least they have so far…)

The reason some people are losing settings is because they update without saving the settings into a show file first. Update runs, console loads default show file, settings gone.

[jcarterParticipant]

1):
Save a show (not a scene) with your settings… you do that in
setup/memory/show manager. The saved show will include all your saved scenes and EQ libraries.

2):
Copy the show to USB (you’ll see the button to do that in the show manager tab that should already be open for the previous step).

Incidentally, to avoid losing settings you need to do step 1) any time you recall a show from memory or USB–what the firmware upgrade basically does is recall the default show the console ships with.
