+1 I’d love to be able to sidechain compress my vocal verb and delay to the dry vocal.

You have to run in surface mode if you want to have the sel option. I do this in a Surface-less setup and it works great. 🙂

Thank you, this is what I was hoping to hear!

Have you read about the differences for both methods in Director manual?

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I have consulted the Director manual but it doesn’t seem to address my question. Is it OK to program the IP8 as a “surface” controller, rather than a “MixRack” controller when I will be mixing with only Director and the IP8, no CTi1500; i.e. Director acts as a “virtual” surface? This would allow me to use the SEL function on the buttons, rather than having to mess with a touchscreen to select channels.

I am using 2 IP8s in a surface-less setup. Sends on fader is absolutely doable, although it takes a little bit of programming.
I understand that a “native” solution would be easier to handle, but IP8s are absolutely useful for that task. Working with that setup for over 5 years now (8 Monitor mixes from FoH), and I am not looking back.

That’s encouraging to hear! Placing my order shortly.

So I was literally just about to order an IP8 to use for a surfaceless setup. CDM32 onstage, IP8/Laptop/Network switch at FOH. This calls the whole setup into question, and I can’t seem to find much information on actually using the IP8.
