So what I gathered from the faders staying at zero is a networking issue.

I addressed my stuff for the ilive as

192.168.3
” “.4
” “.5

I was told to leave it at the default settings from allen and heath and hopefully that will help. Keep ya posted

I did a factory reset on all network connections. Also re installed the firmware v1.9 on the mix rack. Things are back to normal. For now. A t112 would be awesome but takes to much space. I can do much with the r72 in such a small space.

Would running about 150ft of ethernet with slack from that coiled next to the mixer and also next to a 100ft run of ac make a differnce? I hope not. I’m using reccomended cat6 horizon cable. Might be cat5 not sure. It was all bought used from a trusted source

I disappear from time to time.

allen and Heath were very kind to me. I sent my ID R 32 and R 72 surface to themand they looked over everything they ended up replacing the main CPU board in the i Dr 32 everything is been working great up to this point.

except this weekend I did a two day festival. the first day the I live works great no problems at all. strike all the gear that night and put it In the trailer. I was gentle with everything and I was the 1 who packed away the I live.

second day is when things get crazy. mind you I’ve only had things back for 4 months now from being sent in. we hook everything back up and mediately on startup something doesn’t seem right…the faders on the surface were not responsive at all.

I have had this issue before and I believe a few other people have as well I tried all sorts of things with no luck we ended up having to use a laptop the second day. I would change layers on the surface and the motorized faders wouldnt move.

I could raise the little fader in the touch screen window in the routing tab to the right of the screen…and as soon as I stopped moving the encoder The Fader in the routing area would jump right back to infinity.

so now I am back square 1 with only a few days to figure this out before my next show.

to answer your question the id r 32 is being transported in a shock mounted case.

the R 72 is not that is transported in a regular case that is not shock mount it it just has rack rails on the side to hold the mixer it fits perfectly.

the temperatures over at the gig this weekend we’re fine everything was in the shade and it wasn’t too hot or too cold I’d say about 80 degrees and not super humid nothing was sweating gear wise

Update. Had some downtime on my gig today so I pressed down on the screen a bit on the lower corners. Walla! Touch screen works.

Cutting those two or three lowest freqs on the drum bus like I think you are saying only brings those freq down as much as twelve dB. Why not use a highpass filter on your drum channels and fix it at the source. I have highpassed my kick as high as 100hz sometime.

[tendersoundParticipant]

Like I said before. No router being used at all. This was all hardwired.

The only two pairs of channels I had ganged like always are the ipod pair of inputs and my main L R bus . Never have had issues before with that. So why would it mess up on just one gig? Just curious.

Millst. Simmer down and throw a shrimp on the barbie. Not all of us can have two ilives on hand.

Im waiting for AH to return my message.

[tendersoundParticipant]

Jens. I know exactly what you mean. That is a show stopper. I had to mix on a laptop which is no fun.

Have you had the problem since?

P.s. every one used a brand new cable from I live to idr with no problems. On the other hand rhe gig the day before I used all my cable and had no problems so..um yeah doesnt say much which bums me. Wish there was a permanent fix.

I know bashing the company can be wrong but I trusted heath to not give me problems it never has in the past..so whats stopping me from getting an x32 and saving bucko bucks now… its a real let down when bad stuff happens at a gig with mixer.

…one of his points were that no matter if you have a cold…hung over whatever, your headphones can be a good rreference and then you can soundcheck without actually using the pa. Hood on any level. Club or arena. If you wanna talk about this further please email me. Dont wanna get to offtopic.

Not to mention some pa’s sound like garbage with to much tweeters and somedays when you mix on that system you have to use a lot of eq just to manage things. Theres nothing wrong with 12 db cuts. I just dont want to hear that in the phones.

Hmm..it must be broke!

[tendersoundParticipant]

Millst. Read up on dave ratts theory if you haven’t about getting the pa to sound like thr headphones. Its a great reference.

I used the the same set up again yesterday. No issues. Got one more gig with the board tomorrow. Trying a brand new 150ft borrowed cat5 insulated cable as a back up.

Hmm..it must be broke!

[tendersoundParticipant]

Ive checked over my Ethernet cable. There are no rips tears or signs of damage. I would hate to bring this out on a gig all the time and risk things like show stoppers.

I wonder if its a dodgy connection. I have used thr same cabling from my idr 32 to laptop with no problems..

Hmm..it must be broke!

[tendersoundParticipant]

Millst. Thanks for your input. You think it would be just as logical or even easier to add apre post eq button on the pfal section. It is a computer after all. In the meantime I will have to do this instead. Thanks again.

[tendersoundParticipant]
