Hi msteel

The LV1 is connected via Dante.
The Dante card is located in the I/O slot 1, in the mixrack.
In my troubleshooting I tried connecting the AH midi control app to the surface IP, without luck. Only the Mixrack Ip was successful.

For now I have fixed it with a Stream Deck. I have made a button per song. So a button push sends two midi program changes: one for Lv1, and one for the corresponding dlive scene.

Bump.
Well at least, make so you can hit ‘MIX’ on an aux via midi.
This way, we can create a kind of integration between dLive and KLANG via streamdeck.

..In my opinion, SELECT and MIX are two midi features that are generally missing in dLive.

The side panels are surprisingly heavy. There is nothing under there but bare metal.

+1!

What equipment do you have connected to the control network?

[Mathias Thunbo]

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!

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.

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 Thunbo]

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