You shouldn’t expect to see any changes in Dante Controller when patching on the dLive. You need to patch things in Dante controller as well.
If I am not understanding you correctly and you are already doing that, then make sure the dLive firmware is up to date in case this is one of the newer Dante cards that require v1.97.
2023/06/29 at 6:59 am #113501Mixing Station is better in pretty much every way. (except maybe for RTA) Just use that instead.
2023/06/06 at 6:08 am #113211I think they will have a hard time wrestling KLANG integration out of the hands of their brothers and sisters at DiGiCo…but as long as we are asking, we might as well ask for a dLive-KLANG card just like the DMI-KLANG.
Klang integration would also be a good incentive to improve the surround panner in dLive.
2023/04/29 at 3:49 pm #112639You just connect to one console. Save what you want to save. Connect to another console and load what you need to load. Its that simple.
2023/04/14 at 10:39 am #112412Mixing Station lets you save and paste from one console to the other. Even between consoles of different brands.
2023/03/12 at 2:56 pm #111946I think you are making some assumptions about what a preamp is and what it does. You can absolutely connect a line level source to the XLR inputs of both the surface and mixrack without having to worry about the ‘quality’ of the incoming signal. They are considered mic/line inputs. A line level input would also have components in the signal path.
In short: Don’t worry about it.

2023/01/15 at 7:51 pm #110894Chris, I do still think you are misunderstanding the topic at hand to some extend and are now misrepresenting what you wrote in your initial reply. You didn’t answer the question, you just muddied the waters. You are welcome to do that, but I don’t have to entertain it with a detailed reply. Thanks for playing.
2023/01/13 at 9:14 am #110860RS: Regarding the FX engine being a leftover from iLive, you are correct. And yes, it still has that DSP. It would however not have required much development to have used normal auxes for fx. It would basically just have been a default show file and removing any mention of fx auxes. But yeah, they probably had a reason or at least a specific philosophy that they wanted to stick to.
dcongdon: You can still use the FX returns when using normal auxes, meaning you will have the exact same channel and bus count regardless of whether you use ‘fx auxes’ or just ‘auxes’. The only difference is that you get less processing options with the ‘fx auxes’. They don’t really serve any purpose other than limiting you ability to process effects.
However, as Wolfgang said, using stereo channels and source switching is really clever for Waves/Live Professor redundancy on shows where you have additional unused channels. I have a few colleagues that will definately like that idea.Wolfgang: Yeah, thats one of the two issues I have with it. That, and the fact that reconfiguring the bus structure seems more intuitive when you seperate the two bus types. Thats however just a question of how the bus is ‘tagged’ and not a function of the bus itself. As long as I have my fx starting from stereo aux 1 I can work around it though.
2023/01/12 at 4:25 pm #110847Chris, I don’t mean to be rude but I think you are confused about some basic concepts. (the whole send bus vs bus thing isn’t a thing) A bus, is a bus, is a bus.
On dLive you have two types of auxes that can perform the ‘exact’ same task. If you use an ‘aux’ you have full processing on your fx bus. In this scenario you can eq what goes into your effects (like ducking frequencies to further de-ess what goes into a reverb etc.). If you use the ‘fx aux’ you have no processing.
There is ‘no’ reason not to use ‘auxes’ for the FX, and there is ‘no’ reason why there shouldn’t be full processing on the ‘fx auxes’. So…why do ‘fx auxes’ exist since it is just a gimped aux?
2023/01/08 at 2:24 pm #110775If nothing else you can do it using Mixing Station instead of Director.
2023/01/06 at 3:01 am #110741If you read my post again you will see that I’m talking about the fx busses, not the return channels. There is no such thing as a ‘fx return busses’ btw. Those are input channels.
2022/12/28 at 6:44 am #110608This is a nice and simple suggestion. I completely agree. The ‘ramp’ on the encoder makes it difficult to set delay times. Either you completely over-shoot, or you are going way to slow. That is why some manufacturers have linear encoders + a ‘fine’ setting. Typing it in would however be preferable. When setting times for an entire orchestra you get frustrated real quick.
2022/10/18 at 8:06 pm #109578Its not ‘commonplace’ when only a few systems can do it without using inputs or matrices.
That being said you can certainly go:
Kick group>Drum group>Band group, by using the external in on each group. You will however not be able to send multiple groups to the band group. Just the drum bus + all the channels.What I do is use the main bus as a band bus. I then route all vocals to a group and add that group to my output matrices. EazyPeazy
