What equipment do you have connected to the control network?

[Mathias ThunboParticipant]

Do This:

Select ‘Main LR’ > Press ‘Processing’ > Go to the ‘Ins A’ tab.

(I am guessing you have the I/O card installed in the C1500 surface. Is it a Waves V3 Card?)
If Yes, move on to:
Send:
Current Left: Surface I/O Port 4 socket 1 (The socket number is just an example)
Current Right Surface I/O Port 4 socket 2
Return:
Current: Surface I/O Port 4
Socket 1/2.

In Superrack > Go to the Setup tab.
Make sure, in your inventory, that you have both the dLive Waves V3 card, a Waves Server and the host computer mounted.
(For reference, I’ve added a SuperRack-image from the Setup page – though not with a dlive setup..)
When everything is mounted in the inventory, go to Patch window.
On the left choose ‘Device to device’.
Patch 1:1 from the Waves V3 card to the host computer, and afterwards patch 1:1 from the host computer to the Waves V3 card.
..You are almost there..
Now go to a empty Rack (in SuperRack).
In the top, in the ‘Input’ section, choose Input > Waves V3 Card > 1-2
On the Bottom, in the ‘output’ section choose Output > Waves V3 Card > 1-2.

That’s it.

In my opinion the best solution is to have the Avalon preamp on the stage – preferable in a rack with the CDM32. Mic > Avalon in. Avalon Out > CDM32 preamp with gain set to 0.

Yes, you can have the preamp in FOH, but that will require a long analog cable running parallel with your multicable to FOH.
My experience is also, tbh once you have found a good gain level, you don’t really touch it any more for the rest of the tour.. -and if needed during the show, you can just Recall Safe the MixRack preamp and Trim it up dB..
Leave it at the stage is my recommendation.

I would also really love to see a Klang expansion card. Hoping!

[Mathias ThunboParticipant]

I would just program a scene (on the dLive) where the light on the surface is dimmed.
The light technician can send a midi code to a computer with Qlab. The Qlab computer can then receive and pass on a Midi Program Change code to the dLive network that triggers the scene.

[Mathias ThunboParticipant]

A way to solve this, would be if A&H would implement Preamp socket-select to Gang-features.

Hi

@Petter
The Cubase laptop, the Mixrack network, and the Director laptop should all be on the same network, I would say.

@daneem
In Director: Try going to Utility > Control > MIDI and check you are on the right MIDI channels.

” I got the idea that it might be a good idea to have a second, separate ethernet interface for LiveProfessor ”
I would say this is not the issue. I do the same as you all the time, with no problems. I don’t use ProTools though (I use Logic Pro X).

I very much agree with Brians post.

The Waves-Warning you found, is regarding using the program ‘SoundGrid driver’. As I understand your situation, you are not using this program – but SuperRack SoundGrid. And as the article states “Using Apple Silicon Macs to run SoundGrid host applications, such as SuperRack SoundGrid … is fully supported.”
So this is not the issue either, I would say.

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, you want to build a mix from FOH surface, but control that mix from Broadcast surface. Is that correct? In that case you are correct; You can just press MIX on that mix.
The only way (that I know of) to have the Broadcast surface to be ‘independent’, and have it “locked” on its own Main LR mix, is to have a second mixrack (DM0 eg.), with a GigaACE card.
I haven’t seen or heard of a way, to ‘Lock’ a surface to a specific mix unfortunately.

To answer the PAFL question:
” due to the fact that FOH is not using those inputs/has them turned all the way down ”
Select the channel, press Routing, set them to OFF on Main LR, and set the faders to 0 on the Main LR layer. That way they can be ON, turned up, and not be active in the Main LR-mix on the FOH console – and you can PAFL them on the Broadcast surface.
Personally tho, I would always prefer to have PAFL prefader, but that is a different conversation..

[Mathias ThunboParticipant]

…also, in the case that you are using SuperRack SoundGrid; Do you get any red errors on your Setup-page?

[Mathias ThunboParticipant]

Hi

Are you using SuperRack Performer or SuperRack SoundGrid (with a server)?

It is hard to say anything about the LiveProfessor-situation without knowing more details. For example; is it a big session with a lot of cpu heavy plugins?

If I were you, I would watch the Mac application ‘Activity Monitor’ to see what is going on cpu-wise.

I would also make sure everything is running latest firmware..

Is the Mac connected directly to the Waves i/o Card? Or is there a network switch in between?

Which cat protocol do you use?

Do you have a USB C > Rj45 adapter you can try instead of the built in rj45 connector in the Mac (which I’m assuming you are using?)

Yes, I have done this. -Having LiveProfessor cues following scenes fired from the dLive.
(Bear with me as I’m going on memory writing this.)

I set up all the (dLive)scenes with custom Midi commands. B1,00,00,C1,00 for example. Something like this. (See the Midi-table on AH website).
I did though -later- found out, that the dlive automatically sends this message, just by simply triggering a scene..

In LiveProfessor-options, set LP to receive midi messages from the A+H Midi Control Driver.
When you make your cues in LP, you must choose (on each cue) that they can be triggered by midi Program changes. Choose channel and program number. Also remember that the number you choose must be offset by 1.

I’m sorry my reply probably seems confusing.. If nothing else; I assure you that it is possible – and I’m certainly not a midi-super-user.

+1
Exactly for what Dave wrote.

[Mathias ThunboParticipant]

Agreeing with Mfk0815.
I just use DCA spill and softkeys. I also find it way faster than scrolling through layers. 🙂

Activate DCA spill and all your DCAs also become layers. AND you can put those onto softkeys..
