I think there is some kind of bug in the latest version. Maybe on earlier versions too.
When you have the MOO effect selected in an effect engine and you change it to a FLange effect you get a loud noise on the effect return.

It was happily during setup and not mid show.
I should be allowed to change the effect engine mid show i guess

Thought i let you guys know

Good catch! I can confirm that mine does that as well. V1.82 Doesn’t seem to do it when changing from anything else.

No idea why…
Just to make sure I limited OH channels, and yes, limiter works on those channels.
But when it comes to GP bus?
Can someone confirm?

Is there a way to do this or are we still waiting on this feature? This is a pretty basic function and it is available on every other digital console I’ve used, so I really hope they can get this working.

Just save a scene with all faders at zero and everything except level safed. It will take a minute to set up the safes but will do what you want. Then bury it at the bottom so you don’t get into it accidentally.

I was trying to set the IP through the Airport Utility but it still kept showing the router as 192.168.1.1 which obviously doesn’t work. I couldn’t figure out where to change this.
Also does anything need to be configured or changed on the surface within the Utility pages/IPs?
Its obviously working for a lot of you guys, so any help on configuration would be great. thanks

Blue skies a little cloudy today? ;} Subnet settings should be 255.255.255.0 You probably know this but iLive uses 191.168.1.1 , 191.168.1.2 , 191.168.1.3 for the rack, surface and touchscreen so those can’t be used for router, computer, iPad etc.(Just covering the bases here.) As to the router issues several I’ve used recommend using a wired connection when configuring the router. What can happen when you change the router address is that the computer is trying to see the router on the previous address. Maybe this is causing some of your problems. The ip address has to be released and then renewed. Windows based computers have the repair connection function that does this. When using DHCP to automatically assign addresses to computers the router will have a way of setting a reserved block of addresses, say starting at 192.168.1.100 so you don’t end up with the computer conflicting with one of the iLive’s addresses. Maybe this will give you some things to try and hopefully someone will come along that uses an Airport X and can step you through it.

Thanks everyone — this is almost exactly the solution I desired. I’m happy. I’d forgotten about custom strips — I used them early on, 1.53 or thereabouts, and when an upgrade wiped my custom strip configuration, I never looked back. Now I’ve created all kinds of fancy strips with FX returns next to inputs! I probably won’t win a UI design competition but it works for me Thanks again!

Thanks for confirming that Richard!

When using dual monitors on the laptop blank strips can be nice with all the screen real estate. Let’s me segregate things even more if needed. Stumbling onto the fact that the layers are connected in a bank is a nice touch as well. Just makes it a little quicker to drag blocks of 8 or 12 faders into layer 1 and load a whole bank without having to switch layers. The little touches do make a difference.

If you place the cursor between 2 strips you will insert your selected chanels between the 2 strips. All channel strips to the right side of where you innsert your new channels strips will be shifted right.

Hope that helps

Something else I’ve noticed is that layers 1-4 are “logically grouped together” within their bank. If you insert a number of new strips, for instance in Layer 1 all the strips in Layers 2-4 will get bumped up. Any pushed off the end of Layer 4 are gone, but deleting strips will move the others back toward Layer 1 etc. When I say delete that’s by dragging a strip off a layer into a blank area on the desktop. Also of note is that the first time you drag a strip off that space goes gray. If you repeat with the gray space the strips to the right then move back. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to work this way just something I’ve noticed. This was also in the editor offline, I haven’t tried it when connected yet.

In the PAFL setup screen you can set levels for the main mix to PAFL. This affects the level when no PAFL buttons are selected. That may do what you’re asking for if you want the main mix all the time. It wouldn’t be quickly adjustable as you set the level for each output separately. The inf. settings turns them off. Otherwise you may have to assign a fader/s for wedge monitors as suggested. Page 13 in the PDF getting started guide.

P.S. There’s always the level knob on the amp powering your monitors. []

You could also go with the M-MMO card and an iDR D-OUT or iDR OUT. That would add either 8 AES digital or 8 analog outs respectively. They connect via CAT 5 cables so you could put those outs at a different location which could be a positive side of these. The other positive would be size which is just one rack space. Costwise you’re up to around 1800$ US for the two so an xDR16 really makes more sense unless you really want the small footprint and remote location with 8 outs. (Or 16 with two iDR (D)OUT’s)

So what do you iPad2 owners think of using them outdoors? Any difference from the original? Usable in direct sunlight or do you need to be under a FOH tent or under a roof? I’m familiar with Tablets outside but never used an iPad. Thanks for any thoughts!

Thanks for that link! I like the looks of the PicoStation M AP they make. That’s supposed to have good range and is under 100$. From looking at some of the software info their gear appears to support multicast as well.

I believe Stix has it. More specific Mix Master Mixer under Mutes Levels and assignments seems to be what affects editing the assignments.

Matt,

The 169.254.x.x address is an automatic private address. I’ve run across it when working with my Ubox in the past. Do a search using “ip 169.254.x.x” and you’ll get some results for both Windows and Airport. It’s related to not being able to find the DCHP server. Whether or not it’s related to 1.80 may be hard to figure. If 1.81 fixes everything and it stays fixed maybe that was it.

Scott

P.S. Got through Easter service OK on 1.80 on the Tablet without bugs other than a little extra monitor volume when Our Pastor came up after Praise and Worship. Sharing a wireless channel isn’t something I like to do normally, but it went fine other than me not getting to the mute on the handheld channel in time. I need to do my 1.81 upgrade now as well.

Sorry, just read your post and whilst I can’t help much, this is how I understand it !

Multicast needs an IGMP Querier to work correctly. If both your AP and your switch are capable of Multicast, then they are both capable of acting as a querier. ………………….

Hope this helps

Thanks Andy! That does make sense to me now. I was underestimating the role of an access point in the network as well. They would indeed need to be capable of separating traffic to/from multiple computers or iPads. I at least have an idea of questions to ask now when looking at gear. I remember when I first got into the network “thing” I was so confused about wireless routers until I found an explanation of them being a router, switch and access point rolled into one. Then reading about the individual parts it actually made sense.

Thanks again!

In general a group is used for channels that use similar processing or treatment together. In analog consoles without VCA’s they are used as you want to do. If you just need level control groups, you may consider using DCA’s for that purpose. Then if you want to mute all those instruments or vocals you just mute the DCA that controls those. If you need common compression or EQ then you might consider using a group.

A matrix is commonly used for outputs feeding other parts of a venue different from the main mix such as front fills, out fills or even other rooms that need a somewhat different mix that the main room. It takes input from the groups and main and even aux’s in the case of the iLive system. This will allow say less instruments in a front fill mix that’s close to the stage etc.

That’s why they function the way they do. There can be other unusual situations that require novel routing but this is the basics.

You can do a lot of control with the DCA’s, just be aware that they will affect any auxes for channels if they’re set post fade.

Hope this helps a bit!
