again, here`s another +1 for the offline editor!
Pretty pleeeze, with sugar on top!!jb12string, I use a regular POE hub (Edimax GS-1008P, the one that Zueri recommended in another thread) and the console`s (GLD) channel names do come through, if that was your concern.
2015/10/16 at 12:08 am #51392Welcome, any time…
π2015/10/15 at 7:05 pm #51386No, DMX is a hf signal, waaay above the audio frequency range. It would not pass because the system’s frequency range has to be limited in order to be processed by the mixer.
This is not like a hardwired connection.
Most Intercom signals also contain a DC signal on top of the audio, used for call signals.
That would be blocked, too.
If you take a look inside a cat5 multicable, you’ll always find one or two real DMX cables besides the cat5 and the AC cable just for these kinds of signals.
A real copper cable connection can’t be beat for these purposes…2015/10/15 at 4:04 pm #51381Go to the I/O patch window ( 4th button right to the main display) and click on the the XLR socket you want the signal to come out.
Then, below you can choose what is fed to that XLR. Click it and scroll down the list until you see “Input Sockets”. Then, right to that, choose the input number. Don`t forget to press “APPLY” after that.2015/09/05 at 9:49 pm #50259Does this standby issue affect certain (if so, which) MEs only?
Haven`t noticed it on my stations yetβ¦KnockKnockKnock!
onwood2015/09/05 at 9:09 am #50255Thinking from there, how ’bout this:
Having a function in the softkeys menue, called “home button” that makes a button light up when main mix is selected and BLINK when it’s not.I always use my last softkey as a “home button” to reassure it is solid red before I proceed, but a blinking alternate state warning might catch your attention before you take the wrong exit….
2015/09/02 at 5:45 am #50217When going virtual, do you lose your sends or your returns? Still led signal indication in your SG master channel inputs?
The way I have set up my system goes like this:
In my Soundgrid connections window I open four tabs and assign I/O ch 1-40 to my daw computer (back and forth) and ch 41-64 to Soundgrid (also two ways).
That keeps the first 40 of the 64 channels for recording and virtual soundcheck and the last 24 channels for Waves plugins.
In my GLD’s I/O window (I/O port out tab) I assign he first 40 channels to the channels’ direct outs. Important: choose the d-out source point from directly after the head amp.
Then I created two scenes:
One that connects all of my channel inputs to the XLR sockets (called live gig), and one that connects them to my I/O input ports(called virtual s.ch.). I make these connections in the I/O screen window.
When I save these two scenes, I recall filter options (blue button) of both of these two scenes and block (red buttons) EVERYTHING except the input source, found in the “other”- tab.
Now, recalling one of these scenes will ONLY change the input routing since everything else is blocked from being recalled.
After being done with the virtual soundcheck, I switch back to “live” and store that as a new scene under a new name.That has worked for me, hope it can help with your setup, too.
Pit2015/09/01 at 2:55 am #50196Hello Art,
The easiest way to use Waves with the GLD is the insert page, (in your case) of the master channel. There you can assign I/O port out 63/64 to send to Multirack and I/O port In to recieve the ” Wave’d” signal back.
Don’t forget to activate the insert.
Back in Multirack, set the ins and outs of your rack strip accordingly to ch 63/64.I prefer to keep the master un-EQd,and send the signal to different matrices for PA, Nearfills, Delays, recording and such instead. There I insert my Waves racks and process as I need. This helps to keep the PA EQ out of my recording path.
Did that help?Pit
2015/08/13 at 11:15 am #49802Thanks for your quick reply!
yes, I ran out of input channels…
great if you might consider this as an upcoming feature.
As we’re at it, may I repeat my request for an OFFLINE editor for programming ME setups off site and transferring them via usb to the stations?Again, thanks a lot for your work and your excellent products
Pit2015/08/12 at 5:38 pm #49780Thanks a lot for your report, Zueri,
I followed your suggestion and used this router successfully since.
Mine is sitting in a 1-RU tray with an Ethercon faceplate.
Works great so farβ¦.
pit2015/07/28 at 1:55 am #49555Keep in mind that using the L/R/M preset loses you one mixbus, since they always are configured as pairs and the (just one) mono bus goes with another unusable and wasted empty sibling.
If you set up two mono matrices instead and use one as mono feed from L/R, you have the same bus count and get one additional matrix channel for free (never know when you need one…)
(By the way, that does not apply if you mix proper left/center/right)
π2015/07/28 at 1:31 am #49554If you still have three free input channels, it is simple:
Feed the talkback mic (let’s say socket 44) to all three channels (say #42,43,44), send #42 to the IEMs, #43 to the manager and #44 to the techs. You could even eq/comp/level them differently.
Now you can assign the first three softkeys to mute these three channels separately.
Without having to watch the inputs themselves, you’ll always have a visual feedback via the softkeys’ LEDs about each talkback’s on/off status.If you only have two free channels, use the regular feedback function above the softkeys to feed one of the three destinations.

2015/07/27 at 7:30 pm #49542Oh yes, the dreadful 20-bus-limit…
Here’s another idea that worked for me when I ran out of mixbuses:
I had to feed three different delay lines (timewise) from only one delay output that was available.
You can feed more than one Waves rack with the same insert send channel.
Return channels have to be different, but you can also patch your output sockets to I/O input ports. That means that you can connect your xlr sockets directly to the outputs of a Waves rack. Now you send your mains to two different mono racks, send the outputs of those racks to XLR sockets directly. There you can delay, eq and mute them in Waves separately. Only thing is: you don’t have the returns on your GLD faders…:-))
2015/07/27 at 2:57 pm #49537In my regular PA preset I send L/R to several mono matrices (PA-L, PA-R, Nearfills, Delays) and feed these to the Amps.
So I can mute or eq or delay them separately with GLD’s onboard tools.
Besides that I still can insert these matrices with a stereo rack in Waves to do general room correction or C6’ing as a stereo pair. To do so, I insert ,say, I/O 61 on MTX1 and I/O 62 on MTX2. Then I have a Waves Stereo Rack on 61/62 for my main PA.Keeps my L/R mix EQ-clean for a recording.
This Mono-in-GLD-stereo-in-Waves treatment is very helpful on inputs, too.
On my Piano channels for example I locut and eq Lo and Hi channels accordingly and from there treat the Piano as a stereo instrument in Waves. Works well, if you want to LA2a or C6 it as well…Pit π
2015/07/27 at 11:34 am #49532Steffen, how do you see a separate Left main strip?
I can only see L/R as a stereo channel. ( that I was referring to…) -
