I am not going to debate the difference, and yes there are differences I agree, but (as I said) *for my needs* it didn’t make sense to continue an investment in the iLive series. The X32 is a very feature rich board (regardless of what you may think of it) at a fraction of the cost. I think A&H are also well aware of this and thus their emphasis in the Que and GLD product lines. I can even get a Midas Pro 1 cheaper than a basic iLive system (iDR-16 with R72).

[jgroomsParticipant]

No you’re not. I jumped ship about 8 months ago and purchased 2 X32’s and their digital snake for about what I paid for my single iDR16. The iLive is a great system and I loved the features it gave me in my situation (sound for local cover band) but for what I need the X32 does more for less and is actively being developed and improved.

Not to mention the X32 is showing up in most of the clubs we play as the house board making things even easier.

Something in the editor gets corrupted and unfortunately when you uninstall the editor there is some type of configuration file in the A&H directory that remains.

So, the result is, even after re-installing the Editor that corrupted file is still in the A&H directory and the re-installed editor tries to use it. Removing that directory, after un-installing the Editor, forces the installer to recreate all files and it appears to fix the problem.

I consider this a work around. Maybe A&H can be more specific about the actual problem but glad you’re up and running!

[jgroomsParticipant]

I had this problem awhile back and I’m trying to remember how I fixed it.

After you uninstall the software the Allen and Heath directory may still exist (c:program filesallen & heath….). Try removing it (or renaming it) THEN re-installing the software.

I received my xDR16 yesterday. You were correct, all is controlable via the iPad except the preamps.

Thank you Mark. You mentioned you have an iDR16 slaved. Do you know if the behavior is the same for the xDR16 which is the expansion unit minus the DSP processing?

You can get around having to buy HD hardware by purchasing (while they are still selling it–it is being discontinued with PT11) the Complete Production Toolkit ($1999). This basically gives you the software features of HD without buying HD hardware. In your specific case will bump your track count to 256.

If you go this route you will also be eligible to upgrade to PT11HD ($599) without hardware since the CPTK is being discontinued by Avid.

If you are going to do this I would hurry as PT11 is about to be released. I would also call Avid and confirm that if you buy the CPTK this late in the game that you will be eligible for the PT11HD upgrade offer. Avid likes to put “eligibility windows” around when they will honor the upgrades.

Buy the PT 10 HD or 11 would not be a problem for my boss, but I wonder if it really works …

Someone here has already tested it? Really work?

Cheers.

Yes, assuming your hardware is sufficient to record that many tracks at once, it should work fine.

Thanks

Do it all the time – I don’t even own a surface.

The most basic setup would be to simply connect your computer to the mixrack with an ethernet cable. The only requirement at that point is that two devices have unqiue IP addresses – you’re done. Launch the editor, connect to the Mixrack and mix!

Most people introduce a router which (typically) will handle the IP assignments for you using DHCP and will also allow you to use WIFI to control the mixrack via an iPad or wireless laptap from anywhere in the room.

There is a big difference between publishing your protocol specifications and supporting user developed products.

Most companies that publish their specs do not provide support for third party applications/hardware that use that specification (precisely for the reasons you site). That support is up to the vendor providing the add-on solution/hardware.

I don’t see how publishing this information would hinder Allen and Heath whatsoever.

I can use any part or piece of my iLives to mix and match: no mixer, single mixer, side car mixer, dig split, dual rack etc… I can fly with a single rack and mix a show on just a laptop and still have all of my processing. Or go in a venue that wont support FOH console, not that I like that, but it is an option. Not to mention some of the price is for the R&D like the editor software.

I like these aspects as well. I just don’t understand the segmentation and non-compatibility in the product line up. Love um or hate um, Behringers X32 product line provides a cohesive solution and interoperability from a rack only to their full 32 channel board. Same with the Midas PRO series, everything is compatibile and you match the architecture to your needs. Not to mention the dropping price points.

Instead we are see investments from Allen and Heath in the GLD series now this Q series (both not compatible with iLive-their flagship product and where WE have all invested money!). I am not complaining really, I just don’t understand.

[jgroomsParticipant]

I am having trouble even understanding the iLive’s place in the A&H product lineup these days. With all the new boards coming out why would I spend more money on an iLive for 90% of the same features for less money with GLD and now this new mixer? Hell, you can even get into the Midas game (PRO 1) for 10k (it costs 7k just for an R72!). And it seems the hardware is compatible with all the new boards/racks and not iLive. If A&H thinks I’m going to continue to pay a premium just for the iLive name, they are sorely mistaken.

I’m not getting it.

It would be a big, big plus to be able to hit select on a vca master and have the members of that group “populate” the strips on the top layer.

A&H, is there the possibility of including this in a firmware update?

+1 for this
