Just wondering….

Is it to fit in extra bands? I can’t check this at the moment but it just dawned on me :p

Hi,

Is this something that could be switched on/off in user settings (once the programming is done)? That way those that want the preview option can have it.

I have found it useful but have also fallen into the same trap as some others here.

Thanks,

Tried that and it works just as you say. However, I had a call from one of my engineers yesterday saying that the group of (drum) channels that he loaded in did not come through the DCA that they are normally allocated to. I checked the show and scene that I had given him in editor and found no problem. I need to do this test again on the surface but it this normal and can it be avoided?

Wouter,

We have assigned the left, right, centre and sub faders to a DCA. That way the balance of these can be set (in fact we don’t even have those individual faders on the surface any more) but the whole group of faders can be adjusted using just one fader. We mute this DCA before meetings/shows start but the monitors are still on. Helpful when most people are on in-ears because you can at least play a note and hear it and know that everything is working.

Thanks again for your help on this.

The issue to do with noise through the monitors may be because we have a DCA that controls all of the FOH faders. We often mute this expecting it to mute everything but clearly it won’t. I have now programmed two soft keys, one has the DCA mute for FOH and the other has the mute for all of the AUX sends. What we should have done previously was to mute the whole band because the band channels are already routed to one DCA.

Anyway, I think we’ve got there now. Thanks again for all your help. This forum is such a valuable thing []

Thanks,

I’ll try assigning the aux faders to one DCA and that should do it. I may have been wrong about the DCA mutes but I think there is a difference between muting the channel and muting the DCA that a channel is assigned to. I’ll run some tests and report back.

With regard to muting the Audio groups, you’re correct I didn’t want to use them up.

Thanks for your help guys.

Brilliant! Now why didn’t I think of that ?! [:p]

I guess you can’t do similar from the surface?

Cheers

Thanks everyone, I’ll run some more tests this weekend and see how we get on.

Thanks Richard,

When you say untwisted are we talking about within the cable itself as apposed to the connections to plugs or sockets?

I think standard Cat5 has been used for the main run, is this not correct?

Thanks

Reposne from enquiry to A&H re: cost of Dante card.

“We showed the card at last week’s PLASA show, and revealed that the UK suggested retail price will be £999 ex VAT, and we will be starting to to ship the modules by around November time.”

Hope that helps

Hi,

I’m happy with gain sharing as all I want to do is push the faders myself rather than have the engineer do it. As it stands, any change in gain would affect my monitor mix anyway and most of the time the engineer gets things right during soundcheck so there are no problems. By using the methods mentioned I will have more control and given that the kit has lots of channels this is important. Being stuck behind a drum screen doesn’t help with communication so this will be much better. As I said before, I manage the sound team and engineer too so I get the benefit of seeing both sides.

I think I’m pretty much done here now so thanks again for all the contributions []

Thanks Biggsounds []

You are correct, I will want more than just the drum channels in there but I was worried about running out of channels. I was thinking of the inputs on the mix rack but in actual fact, there are 64 channels available.

If I didn’t want to share gain, how could I do that? I don’t think I need this but I want to understand the principle. I’m guessing that some sort of splitter is required?

Thanks again
