cheers,
the difference to the solutions on Yamaha and DigiCo is, that you cannot handle the plugins within the surface – you always need a seperate screen and mouse (or touchscreen or tablet-pc).
So if you don’t mind having a seperate Laptop for using the PlugIns, Waves already delivers a complete sultion – a host for the plugins. So you only need a low latency interface for the laptop.
At the momenta I use Apple Mainstage and a Motu Ultralite (for small solutiona) or RME MADIface (for bigger solution). So I can use everey PlugIn I like as far as it doesn’t need to much cycles to calculate (most professional PlugIns need about 4-10 Samples!).
Al lot collegues use Digi002 or Digi003 an ProTools LE for the same reason an it works perfect! Normally I do some special Revs (Lexicon Native, Altiverb) Vocal EQ+Comp (Waves RenaissanceVox, REq, Sony Oxford EQ, Sonalksis Bundle) and special FX, if needed (filtered Delays, Harmonizers and such).
So better solution for me than Waves – more Plugs to use an much cheaper, but need extra Laptop to operate the Plugs.

Hello,
as german support told me this is a bug (meanwhile known) and will fixed in Ver 1.62 . As I thought, only graphics suffer from this, but audio is treated right.

Hey Richard,
very interesting thing. I was thinking about a similar thing – adding a (cheap) Behringer BCF2000 as fader for let’s say vocal, rev and delay or so.
But I didn’t manage to send all 3 strings needed to adress channel, select function (there fader) and send value.
I’m logic user too, so you’re solution seems to be very smart (though your able to switch between differen channel which one can’t even do with a PL6!).
But I’m not very familiar with the environment thing. So would you give me some hints?
This are my main qustion:
– I asume you create a “dummy” audiochannel in Logic for every iLive-channel you want to control, so the Logic-Control can handle the channels via these dummies ?
– If so, how can an audiochannel create needed mididata (or even basic data, that can be used for a transformer)
– How can you sent all 3 strings needed? Is it just a macro including 3 transformers?
I know it needs a lot know how to create such an enviroment like you did, but I would be thankful if you can share a little bit of your knowledge.
Regards Peter
