Sounds to me like Director is set to push its setting to the MixRack instead of the other way around.
2024/03/03 at 6:03 pm #119948Any updates on this?
2024/02/25 at 6:17 pm #119771The Dyn8 has a master trim option that might be worth double-checking.
2024/02/25 at 6:09 pm #119770Scenes are a workaround, yeah, but keeping up with all the filtering when the input stereos or bus configuration changes can be a huge pain and can really bite you if you miss fixing even just one scene.
It’s probably not really an issue when you’re doing a week of rehearsals then take the show out on tour for a while, but when every week amounts to its own show and you never get a straight-through rehearsal it’s pretty easy to miss something.
2024/02/25 at 6:04 pm #119769+1, also momentary options.
2024/02/25 at 6:00 pm #119768+1!
2024/02/07 at 4:01 am #119221I have three main thoughts:
First, scene filters are your friend. I understand that they’re complicated and really wish A&H would make some aspects of the scene system different (or at least configurable), but you’re gonna drive yourself crazy if you don’t get a handle on them.
Second, if I’m understanding you correctly, during rehearsal don’t recall the song 2 scene after saving the song 1 scene. That’s last week’s song 2… this week’s song 1 will undoubtedly be closer to what you want. Just save over song scenes as you go through rehearsal and you’ll have fewer surprises.
Third, I’ve been burned by “the worship leader starts playing under the pastor” or “the pastor gets up and starts talking before the lady notes fade out” way too many times to have one button unmute the new channels and mute the old channels at the same time. That is to say, if your cue sheet is “pastor welcome”, “song 1”, “song 2”, “announcements”, etc, as far as mutes are concerned that first “welcome” scene should only unmute the pastor’s mic, not turn off the house music. Likewise, the “song 1” scene can unmute the band if you want (I don’t, but my workflow’s a bit different than yours), but you should mute the pastor’s mic manually.
Lastly, and I’m not including this in my “main” thoughts because it’s so dependent on workflow, in general, maintaining a scene for every item on the cue sheet is overkill. Do you really need to automate hitting one mute group for the band and turning on one wireless mic? Obviously you can if want, and it’s undeniably slick to just sit there and hit “next, go, next, go” all day, but you might want to consider how much effort you’re expending to both create all those scenes and to make sure they only do what you think they’re going to do, as well as what goes wrong if you accidentally mess up the scene filters. I’ve been burned by my “fade out the house music” or “turn on the announcements mic” scene doing more than I thought it would more than once. If you need all the automation then absolutely, knock yourself out, but for how I work on a normal Sunday morning, that way can pretty easily become more work to setup than it saves me.
2024/02/04 at 6:01 pm #119126Yeah, I was hoping there’d be some momentary (unlatched, as you call it) functionality. The default behavior is momentary so the firmware is aware of the concept — it just doesn’t do anything I find to be useful.
I guess I’ll go make a post in the suggestions forum.
2024/01/31 at 4:26 am #118963Oh, they do, but the ones I’m aware of cost like $50 each so five of them would be as much as a new snake by itself. The XLR-XLR snake I’m using now is a 50 footer that we happen to not be using anywhere else right now. We’ll eventually need it for an event of something anyway… might as well replace it with an XLR-TRS snake and solve the problem without extra gear (and the extra cables to plug them all in).
2024/01/28 at 5:59 pm #118887Nuts… Well, I guess I’ll get an XLR to TRS snake then. Thanks.
2024/01/19 at 9:07 pm #118593IIRC there’s an option for embedded scenes to recall something on a remote surface. I can’t remember if it can go across MixRacks, though. If it can, I suppose you could create scenes on the monitor surface which only mute and unmute things for you. AFAIK, there’s not a way to remotely trigger mutes directly, though.
It might be possible to trigger scene changes with MIDI over TCP/IP. That’s not something I know much about other than MIDI over TCP/IP is a thing that the dLive supports, so I’m afraid all the advice I can offer there is to search the forums.
Lastly, the worst option, at least in terms of cost (the other two are free), is to get a GPIO module for each MixRack and wire your buttons to both sets of inputs. I’m pretty sure it works like that, but you should read up on it and ask someone who knows what they’re talking about before spending almost $2k on a couple DX boxes.
2024/01/14 at 5:40 pm #118411Not off the top of my head. Can you create another scene which doesn’t include the embedded recall and assign that to a softkey?
2023/12/24 at 7:21 pm #117775+1 for being able to sync to an NTP/PTP (I’ll have to look that one up) server or Director instance.
2023/12/24 at 6:44 pm #117774Maybe we could an IP24 with two stacked banks of 12 faders, in a form-factor that’d literally bolt onto the side of the board? It’d be nice to be able to edit their layouts with the rest of the faders (although not being able to program the cue buttons differently would be a bummer).
2023/12/24 at 6:29 pm #117773There’s global and role filters.
