This definitely sounds like a loss of Word-clock sync, but we’ll need more info. External clocking? Any Network cards in use? Are the outputs feeding your Mains coming from the board or stagerack?

What about (temporarily) scrapping the board and controlling the iDR-32 with Editor only? It’s really all about the Mixrack with the iLives. In some ways I find it easier to see the routing with Editor. Or save your mix to a USB key and email me the .xml file.

It sounds like a routing assign problem. I find it easiest and fastest to do this in iLive Editor, but you can do this on the board as well. Press ch. 1 select, then press the Routing button under the screen. Go the Main tab, and make sure that ch. 1 is assigned to the Mains (on) and that the fader is turned up. Can you get signal out of any other output, like Monitor or Matrix outs?

[Mark OakleyParticipant]

Just some random ideas: Are your Main Outs (LED’s on the right side of the board) showing signal? Is the Input signal assigned to Main Out (you can check this in the routing page).

I posted this reply, went in to “Edit” to fix a spelling mistake, unchecked “Keep a Log of this post” and the post disappeared. Here it is again:

In addition to generations it’s also targeted market placement. The Qu’s were meant to be entry level, the iLive’s tour level, and the GLD’s bridge the gap. If I want to record multi-track with my iLive, I have to buy a $1500.00 network card. Guys with Qu’s and Behringers just have to plug in a USB cable. On the other hand, the iLive’s cards are meant to interface with various professional formats. Try getting a QU to produce 32 Dante outs, or interface with a Waves server.

The GLD out-performs the QU in a way that matters in a professional application: 48 inputs, configurable bussing, mapping channels to anywhere on the surface, more effects, etc. I occasionally do shows that require 40-50 inputs, 8 wedge+6 stereo In-ears, Mains+2-3 fill speakers and the iLive has never held be back. After getting used to the iLive’s features, I really notice the limitations of the QU and X-32. I do wish that A&H had at least upgraded the iLive effects to include the ones in the GLD.

The iPad apps are quite disparate. The QU app can start/stop USB recording, the GLD-remote app cannot.

There’s ways around this; you could use a Remote Desktop to control GLD Editor if that feature is in the (Editor) program.

Do you know if there ever was a 1.94 Reference guide? There is some info on the Multiband Comp and Dynamic EQ in the “Fixed-Format Getting Started” guide. I don’t think A&H would have to put out a whole new guide for 1.9; just the updates and additions which are described in the “Getting Started” and Release Notes.

Sorry, but that is in no shape or form creatively engaging

A knob is creatively engaging, but a mouse or virtual knob is not?

I want things where I DON’T look at a screen.

Strange that you bought a console with two touchscreens. I’m sorry you’re so offended by my suggestion. I’ll quietly go back to editing FX in real time from anywhere in the room.

-Mark

[Mark OakleyParticipant]

Isn’t this possible from Director? Why not have a laptop running Director hooked up to the Rack or Surface? I edit FX parameters from my iPad in the middle of the show all the time with my iLive.

-Mark

[Mark OakleyParticipant]

If you have a dLive connected to laptop, and Director running on the laptop, you can control the computer with any tablet via a remote desktop. This is what I do with my iLive: in the last 2 1/2 years I’ve used my iPad on every gig, and haven’t opened iLive Mixpad once. I control iLive Editor with Real VNC. I can also control Editor from my iPhone as well.

[Mark OakleyParticipant]

So I tried the same Network path at home (laptop>iDR48>Powersoft Rack) and the iDR passes Ethernet no problem. Hmmm… I’ll try it on the gigs this weekend and report back.

-Mark

[Mark OakleyParticipant]

Hi Guys:

Thanks for the replies. Cool application, Steffen. I’ll try it out with my iDR-32 and report back. The iDR-16 is in the shop: noisy output getting fixed (a recent ebay purchase).

-Mark

[Mark OakleyParticipant]

“If I have a monitor (wedge) sitting on the stage floor for the choir to hear themselves and I adjust the gain, they don’t hear it through the monitor”

Sure they do. You understand that the Gain is there to attenuate (or even out) the Input signals? Everything in the board: Mains, monitors, groups, DCA’s, Subs, Matrix’s, ME-1’s etc. are post Gain. Try it with a wedge and see.

Why are you making large Gain changes in the middle of the show? These should be sorted out by the middle of the sound-check.

-Mark

Hi Jacob:

The ACE card works as a signal splitter, so you’ll get a copy of all the Inputs sent from the iDR-32. You’ll then have control of the entire mix except for preamp gains. A way around this would be to control the iDR’s preamps from iLive Editor running at FOH. Connect a Cat 5 cable from your computer the Network port on the GLD’s ACE card, then another from the iDR’s ACE card’s Network port to the Network port of the IDR rack itself (A&H refers to this as “Network Bridge”). Make sure that the computer and IDR share compatible Network addresses (192.168.1.xxx) where xxx is a different number for the surface and stage-rack. After assigning ACE channels, you should be able to then control the IDR’s preamps from Editor, have the IDR’s preamps feed the GLD’s channels, and also “tunnel” the GLD’s outputs back to the outputs of the IDR on stage.

I had a similar thing happen to me on a Yamaha M7-CL: We were sound checking and the house-tech was helping me out. After a 40 minute sound check, we were finished and he said he would save the mix for me. Unfortunately he hit “Recall” and totally erased the mix. It only took 20 minutes the second time around to manually get all the settings put back in.

Hey Bob:
That’s exactly what happened to me last week. I opened up Qu-Pad v1.9 on a Qu-24 that I installed in a church and it said “version mis-match”, as the board was on v1.8. I updated the board to v1.9 and everything worked perfectly. Also make sure the router is powered up before the board, so that the board “sees” the router.
