If the implication here is that the Pro2 is anywhere near a professional digital console I’m going to have to ask you to go read any real-world review of it.

The Pro2 is GLD quality at best.

I think you may be a little confused here. Are you perhaps thinking of the X32 instead of the Midas Pro2?

You can’t be serious???

Those of us who spent the extra money on iLive modular, now have to spend more to get firmware that T series can directly install?
Is this info from A&H and confirmed?

I will be far from impressed if this is the case.

Darren

[mdsaudioParticipant]

Again, anyone at A&H?????

Can we get an answer on this? Do you support iLive for repair, or do we have to buy complete boards/modules?

I’m hoping the silence doesn’t mean it’s the latter.

Darren

[mdsaudioParticipant]

Probably because I come from an electronic service background, I find it hard to just change out boards!
The local distributor/agent can’t help, but it would be good to hear from A&H on this as to the repair policy on the iLive range!

Can anyone at A&H fill us in?

Darren

[mdsaudioParticipant]

Can we get a confirmation from A&H? Is the iLive system not repairable to component level? I’m hoping the electronics are not considered a throw away and replace item! If so, …ouch!

Unfortunately the system is out of warranty. I’ve been using the iLive for 4 years now, I was one of the early adopters who took the leap of faith!

I’ve got Ralph McTell coming here this week!
Guitar, piano, vocal, and no monitors,he is on ears.
Sounds pretty straight forward. Hopefully no GEQ required!

Even within the bandwidth of each section there is a mismatch. I would prefer to see the leds track accurately within their intended range and then remain “pinned” at either end of their travel as you adjust past that point.
I must admit I had never noticed this myself(I don’t normally look at the leds), a visiting band engineer pointed it out last weekend.

Interesting! I’ll switch eq modes and see if it matches up.
Is this a known bug that is on the “to do” list?

It’s not free because A&H is a business, not a charitable organisation. Do you work for free?

Yes, Yamaha apps are “free” but you pay for it in the purchase price of the console whether you need it or not. An equivalent console from Yamaha is considerably more expensive than the iLive. The complete iLive system is inter-compatible, both hardware and software. This allows users to purchase only what they need but still be able to expand in the future if needed.

I believe the iLive is not only technically good but that A&H have done an excellent job of putting together an intelligent choice of product range and marketing it.

I make my living out of this industry and I expect to pay for the tools I use, that’s how business works.

I was an early adopter of the iLive and I know that with A&H you are buying not just the nuts and bolts, you get a lot more if you stop and look into it!

Ganging and burying in a layer will work, but it is not an elegant solution.
In a corporate event I can have many, many stereo sources and it is not practical to tie up two strips for each one. The cues for these shows can come thick and fast, video rolls, walk up stings, sound effects etc. Some presenters will hand you their media as they are walking on to the stage so there is no time to check it first.
A simple “sum to mono” button in the preamp screen of the stereo channels would be fantastic, as it would be the fastest way to fix a problem!

Not sure how this could work! DCA’s are control groups not audio groups. There is no signal in them to meter!
A&H have an excellent paper on their site explaining the operation of DCA/VCA routing and operation.

There should be no problem as the editor and surface can work independantly. You can adjust your mix while the surface is doing the FOH mix at the same time.

Hello there! Does anyone has this problem of V1.6 booting longer than the V1.5? When I first updated it, I thought it hanged but I decided to wait a little longer. And it booted after that. So it did take a while to boot up. Anyone the same??

I’m using iLive 176, iDR10 mixrack, and Galileo 616 processor.

---

Yep, same experience here.
I have an ilive 112 and idr10. I did the update to 1.63 and noticed the boot up time is now a lot longer.

The talkback input on the surface has 48v. You can use a condensor here, albeit with limited routing etc. etc. I’ve used it for VOG announcements and so forth.

I don’t think any equipment I have ever used with an auto eq function has yielded useable results.
Maybe a good marketing feature for low end equipment but imho not worth adding on pro gear.
