and: take a 16th note at ,say, 187BPM, there is your scene-change… I still feel the scene-logic could be streamlined, but since I´m just a sound-person, can´t help you with them algorhythms. but auto-incremental “previous” is desperately needed. It is not me missing the cue, it´s The Band!

I am fully aware of Altiverb´s features & benefits, but do not have it in my arsenal. The startergun-remarks were meant to be a joke… lighten up!
BTW- my original question concerned the possibility of simultaneous playback and recording, not plug-ins.

[StonepianoParticipant]

God forbid I’ll let an audience mess up my session… And obviously, I could not be shooting guns while audience present🙄 And I think an audience would not appreciate me playing the yesterday’s show for them. Going to be just fine streaming the multitrack via USB-B. If can’t capture decent live ambience, then it is space-designing time.

[StonepianoParticipant]

Yea right, I know… bangin’ away with a starter-gun, or whatever. Well I’m sure it can create it’s own impulse… But no problem routing playback of existing channels from the mac, and just recording the stereo. It is then authentic, better or worse.

[StonepianoParticipant]

Discussed this elsewhere- I too, did not first understand the function of the ctrl-tab. Quite a waste of softkeys. I think it would be possible to assign just one softkey to toggle recording: arm/rec/stop. The info-bar would indicate the status, as usual.

[StonepianoParticipant]

X-fade on scene changes would be a nice option too. Even better, if it could be adjusted per input. Perhaps too much to wish for at this price-range?

[StonepianoParticipant]

Wanted to have my local monitors on the ALT- out, but realised that it didn’t have delay, so could not be aligned to the PA… but there was a way around it: you can set up a matrix to feed ALT, so just assign L/R to matrix, which has a delay. Now the local volume can be handily adjusted with the alt-knob. The arrangement ate up one matrix- send, but there’s one left to feed the video-crews.

[StonepianoParticipant]

Okkay- via Logic it is- same difference, because the tracks will reside there anyway.

[StonepianoParticipant]

…and about the mix out being “post all”, I’m afraid I was terribly drunk at the time. I still cannot fathom how my rear speakers fade but followed Mark’s instructions, and they do. So many menus, so little time…

[StonepianoParticipant]

And don’t get me wrong- I am happy to have gotten rid of them Y’s. The CLs are fine consoles, but everything between a PM and them was a glorious pain in the arse. Attending our local trade fair in a week from now, definitely want to touch DLive… and start begging for one, probably. OR a Roland 5000.

[StonepianoParticipant]

As far as DCA’s go, never been a fan. They may serve many very well, but all I need on my one layer, would be all individual inputs, no matter how many, and two subgroups- one for drums minus bd & snr, and the other for backing vocals. If more groups available, maybe one for “The Band”, mainly the keyboard/horn-department. Very old school, I’m afraid. Never used DCA’s, even when they first appeared on analog consoles. I might find a use for them in a theatrical project but for live music, I just don’t need ’em. But I do like a shitload of compressors doing 2-3dBs, layered 😜

I was looking for a solution in a wrong place. The transition from Yamaha-land has not been completely painless… learning A&H’s intricacies has been an interesting journey so far. Thanks once again, I would never realised that you need to turn up L/R- gain also. I am now experiencing great joy, watching the 9-10 signal-LED disappear as I fade the return.

[StonepianoParticipant]

I realised, that mixes cannot be assigned to audio groups. Took the crude way out of my dilemma, and assigned the delay return+quad- outputs to a mute group. Not very elegant, because the delay would really have to be faded out… but I can live with this until I have the time to set up a DCA-fader on the customlayer, need to study the dca-functionality a little bit.

[StonepianoParticipant]

OK, have to climb up there and show them how it’s done.

[StonepianoParticipant]

Steering clear from DCAs at this point, 24 not having dedicated master faders for them. Absent-minded engineer get confused, trying to find sumptin’ that’s not there. I have both stereo groups to spare, only 20 inputs, easily handled individually. So can dedicate a pair for this.
