I’m not sure why A&H even have a USB record/playback system in their console. It’s completely useless.
Save yourself some anguish and don’t use it.

Use Method #1.

No custom MIDI required. The dLive spits out a MIDI PC message that should match the Waves MIDI format on Scene change.

You’ll need to download and install the A&H DAW driver to convert the TCP MIDI…[Read more]

It’s currently called “DAW Control” (but SHOULD be called TCP MIDI driver)

dLive Software

still 21 days to go

I guess technically that’s true!

There was never a word for a release date of any firmware….

Firmware V1.9 ETA?

Hah, okay that is funny. Why not the ability to select an aux too?

Why not add PEQ while we’re at it?

What are you talking about? Of course you can select the aux.
TB has everything needed except a limiter.

As usual, Behringer beats everyone to the punch on features.

They have RTA not only on eq, but on side chain and filters as well. Clearly this is something that every console should have, if even Behringer can do it. They know how much everyone loves that feature, so they even expanded…[Read more]

I see now why MixPad can’t store and recall scenes. They’d have to be stored in the iPad and there’d be too much data going back and forth.
That’s really too bad.
I wish that all the settings and parameters were stored in the MixRack. The surface could store it’s layout (fader banks and surface settings) if needed.
Kinda like the way the X32rack,…[Read more]

That is the most confusing system I’ve ever seen.

Parts of shows scattered among different parts? Hidden scenes? Aye Carumba. Hopefully this could get sorted out better in a future update.

f the Dlive is like the iLive, you cannot access the show files on mix rack from the director software….
Director software only looks at the local PC for show files, whether recalling or saving.

I do not understand the way director works. It makes no sense. If I’m connecting to it in “MixRack Only” mode, it should operate (as much as possible) l…[Read more]

So, I hooked up my C1500 to the CDM32, and on the C1500 I see the show I stored. I can recall it.

Using director, whether I connect to just the MixRack or MixRack+Surface, I do not see that show. It seems to only exist on the C1500.

All products are on v1.83.

Sounds like a job for Custom Control. I think you can limit range of controls using that.

And also allow scenes to be stored and recalled of course.

If there’s no more than 4 different inputs for each person, use the input A/B/C/D function for those channels. It’s settable per scene and per channel.

Hi Antony;

While I have your ear…

PLEASE update the MIDI protocol so EVERY function is available, or, if that’s too hard, at least release the communication protocol that’s used for Director/MixPad/CustomControl so we can implement our own external controls.

So what did you find?

Sounds like the same issue I had with the Dante card until I figured out that (using Dante Controller) I had to set the card to “sync from external” to allow the A&H clock to lock the Dante card.

Dunno how settings are done on the Waves card, but if there’s sync settings for the card, make sure they’re set properly. Also, make sure everything in…[Read more]

There is no current solution, I’m suggesting a relatively simple one.

You can choose PAFL’s on MixPad, so it’s not that hard.

If you could truly limit the functions on MixPad then that would work too.

One of the main reasons I got into the dLive was because of it’s ability to have multiple PAFL buses. I just can’t use them the way I want and…[Read more]
