It is annoying to have the HPF knob on a different page than the PEQ page. Takes time to change the parameter when shaping the EQ.

On GLD you have HPF on both positions (pre-amp page and PEQ page).
dLive has a Filter page (LPF and HPF) and also on the PEQ page.

It does not have to be on 2 places, please move it to PEQ. Everybody will be happy.

And how about:

1. Avantis mix : for Ipad ?
2. one mix : for Ipad / Iphone / Android ?
3. Avantis Director : online / offline editor ?

I really get a lot of people asking to do their in-ear mix by smartphone, an app like Qu-You would already be ok.

Hi,

Yes you can recall scenes by MIDI commands.

Scene Recall Bank and Program Change message To recall one of the 500 Scenes (4 banks) Also transmits this message when a Scene is recalled from the GLD screen For Scene 1 to 128 Scene SS 1 to 128 = 00 to 7F (refer to table) Select bank Recall Scene BN, 00, 00, CN, SS

For Scene 129 to 256 Scene SS 129 to 256 = 00 to 7F (refer to table) Select bank Recall Scene BN, 00, 01, CN, SS
For Scene 257 to 384 Scene SS 257 to 384 = 00 to 7F (refer to table) Select bank Recall Scene BN, 00, 02, CN, SS
For Scene 385 to 500 Scene SS 385 to 500 = 00 to 73 (refer to table) Select bank Recall Scene BN, 00, 03, CN, SS

Check you scenes to be correct so that they only change what you need (instead of everything) by using the recall filters of each scene.

Good luck

Hi,
It is not possible to process L and R seperate in the LR bus. You can do it with a trick by using two stereo matrixes out Maxtrix 1 = Left , Matrix 2 = Right but will cost you 4 busses in the config.

In the scene list there are 500 slots. 01 02 498 499 500 are defaults/resets and can be overwritten. But I guess you know that already.

I never had a cue list longer than approx. 225 items. So I guess nobody will reach the limit.

There is also a trick by using a group bus. You can assign an external steeo input paur and will work almost the same as a normal input. You will miss the gate dynamics. And off course it costs 2 busses….

For small shows I use this when I really need a stereo fader in stead of a ganged one.

Easy to fix with scenes. Just do a store / recall of the channelstrips and you are there. Yes it takes some management but if you do decent show prepping I don’t see any problem.

For some shows I use this solution.

The SQ looks like an upgraded Qu. It has the straight forward setup like the Qu, but more functions like side-chain for Gate / Comp , but lacks 8 FX send busses for all FX units (it has 4). Also the mixbus idea is Qu like (switchable between bus or aux). Ok it is a 96k console. As I look the GLDs (and dLive) eco system is better than SQ. And why put in so much local I/O ??? I will never use it because I use a CAT cable to an external box on-stage ! Not to mention the extra weight for the connectors and waste of money.

My golden dream for now would be a dLive C2500-ish console with a CDM8 rack build in the console itself and be able to use DX168 (or DX2412 or DX3216) box(es) between stage and FOH and no redundancy at all.

[plevrierParticipant]

Not possible. You can do a LPF with the parametric EQ on an output bus. But is is 12 dB/oct.

Together with the graphic EQ you may achieve 24 dB/oct when the crossover point is carfully chosen.. I don’t know how phasing will be.

It is just getting used to the system which is ok.
When you make a library it is stored into the show you are in. So when you copy the config / show it is all there when you move to another GLD.

When saving librarys to USB you are able to make your default settings for anything you like in every show you are in. the only thing which is a pain is the types of libs. You can have a full channelstrip lib, but in this strip is not possible to recall only the compressor or EQ. When you know this, this is no issue, but more like getting used to is and is usable.

Most to the time I am not using libs because you are forgetting to listen and using your default tricks instead of doing where the sound needs to go.

[plevrierParticipant]

Each show has its own library. But you can save them on an USB stick. Libs from
USB are always shown.

[plevrierParticipant]

You could ty replacing the internal USB cabling. I had an issue that caused loss of communication with DSP board. Rebooting restores te connection. Replacing the UsB cabling (with original A&H spare parts) solved it this issue. Sounds strange, but it can be fatige of the cabling or some sort of corroded USB connectors.

Hi,

Last year I had a few shows in a theatre where the channelcount was 43 (AR2412 + 2x AR0804 + 3x local input). Recorded it all using a Windows Laptop running Cubase through Dante.

In the beginning I had some clocking issues, so forced dante to use the GLD clock.

Managing the GLD80 layout is more interesting… To keep my workflow clean I had to make several scenes with only channelstrips changing. 4 layers is not enough to mix 40+ channels.

So you should be fine 🙂

Pascal

Good thinking, but this is not possible. The USB channel (47-48) is the internal audio player. As you need a extra local input I suggest you use a simple mic to line converter and use the RCA input (45-46-47-48)..

The USB slots work only for mice, keyboards and USB memory sticks (with audio or show files). And off course, you can charge your phone with the right cable.

Pascal

You can trick a surface reset by changing IP settings of the GLD. Audio will not stop.
