Originally posted by smorgan223Here is an option for you to run both a mono out and stereo recording feed. Since the console is digital, you have the ability to run the inputs to more than one channel strip provided your channel count is less than half of the 48 available processing channels. With this split-console situation, you can route the first set of your channels to the Mono (“M”) buss and the second set (the copys) to the LR buss. You would send the Mono out to your PA and the LR out to your recording device. Now, it does complicate things a little by keeping up with two mixes, but since you are getting a digital mixer, I am assuming you are ready for the added complexity. Hope this helps!
Thanks,
ScottYou can accomplish the same thing by using an aux send for recording. There’s no need to split the board in half to do it.
If you make the aux send pre-fader, you have almost total control (other than separate muting) for the recording, if that’s a good thing. If you make the aux post-fader, the recording mix will follow your main mix, but can still be adjusted by changing the aux sends for each channel.
2013/02/01 at 9:08 pm #32939How would you propose to get the sound back in the system from the effects processor if you didn’t have a return?
Every desk in the universe works like this – sound goes in to processor via aux, effected signal has to be returned to the mixer somewhere. All but the lowest-end boards have aux returns as pretty much full channels so you can assign the effects output to other all the busses, not just L+R.
I suppose there are a few boards that don’t have an explicit “effects return” channel or knob, but under the hood the signal still comes back in to the mixer through a signal path that amounts to an effects return.

To replicate the issue, assign effects to the selected channel as you would normally. Ensure the FX are present enough to be heard such as an echo or hall. Once you are satisfied with the level, simply mute the channel like you normally would to stop all audio from passing through. Try talking through the mic or playing an instrument through the muted channel. You will hear only the FX pass through the speakers and not the actual signal. Also, with the FX screen present you will notice the meters are still showing a signal coming in and passing through. This passes through the mains and the monitors. To fully mute a channel that has FX assigned, I have to turn down the FX master on the FX screen or unassign it from having any FX.
Hope that explanation helps you to replicate the issue.
Matt
You must have signal coming from something else – either another mic open, or as Stix said, a duplicate assignment of a preamp somewhere. What you’re seeing is not normal board operation.
Some troubleshooting ideas would be to mute all channels except the one you are testing with. You may want to pick a new channel to use as a test also.
Failing this, starting from a blank template might be a good idea, as the problem is likely somewhere in your configuration settings.

I don’t believe there’s any recording capability on the iLive.

Originally posted by mikemalyHello, dealer for Allen & Heath in the USA here. I have recently installed a GLD system into a church and a few problems have come up. Installed system is currently a GLD80 surface, AR2412 stage box, and a AR84 expander (currently on back order). CAT5E cable run is about 130′ of Beldin foil shielded twisted pair, heavy duty stuff.
First problem encountered: after the system was powered on for a while, connected stage inputs started to clip for a second. It was random and no real pattern to the inputs that were clipping, and it was audible. Mind you that nothing was plugged into the stage box inputs that were connected to the stage box. I replaced both RJ45 ends and we let the system run all night (Friday overnight) and Saturday morning, everything seemed normall. I’d love to say it was a mistake with my RJ45 end, but has this problem occured before or been reported? Customer is curious about this.
Second problem: I’ve been noticing that every time the system starts up, the event logger shows that it has found the MAC address for the stage box, then it logs that it lost audio sync immediately after. I never get a log showing it re-synced. In the home screen, it shows a green check mark next to the AR2412 and my lock light on the back of the console shows steady. Is this normal?
Thank you for you help.

Urbandale, IA 50322I’m reasonably confident that if you get the green check and it stays that way, You’re OK. My GLD is on the road at the moment, but will try to check this when it comes back.
2012/10/04 at 3:31 pm #31566Make sure your sources are good and level differences between guitar/keyboard patches are evened out. Once your source is good, make sure your operators are setting up the channel pre-amp gains to light the -6dB light (I like this better than 0 – more headroom and no sound quality penalty), and then not touching them once set.
IEMs are less forgiving than wedges are, and can reveal a lot of things – pitch issues, vocal technique issues (distance and position to the mic, needing to pull back more or less during loud notes, etc), sound operator technique issues, etc. They are worth the adjustment, though!

on the routing page for AUX/FX/etc…can we get a select all button and maybe a selection for Pre-fader? right now I have to do each one individually.You can set global pre/post fade using button combinations on the surface. I don’t have my GLD in front of me, but this is documented in the manual and the on-screen help file.

Originally posted by MattFultzHi GLD R&D,
I noticed the other day when having FX turned on, that even though the channel is muted, sound will still pass through the system. In other words, the mute button is not fully muting the channel.
Is there a fix for this?
Matt
I have not experienced this. Are you sure you’re not hearing the sound through another mic that’s still on feeding the same effects bus?
2012/10/04 at 2:03 pm #31561No, there’s nothing pre-preamp gain.
Are you new to Aviom? Is your sound tech mixing using gain knobs rather than setting gain structure and leaving it? Which instruments are all over the place? Is it an issue of keyboard patches that aren’t of similar level?
You probably want your direct outs to be pre-fade, as once the initial gain setup is done, things should stay put. If this isn’t happening, you’ve got another issue somewhere else.
2012/05/15 at 4:17 pm #30592I’m interested in this too. My main application would be sharing the show control network down the snake – DSP control, wireless mic monitoring, possibly DMX, etc. No high bandwidth stuff. Having redundant link options would be neat, too.
2012/05/14 at 6:18 pm #30576I wanted to pipe in and say what a cool feature this is – both copying and resetting.
When I first tried to do this I was digging around on the screen for “channel job” or some other function requiring multiple on screen button presses. When I figured out there are hardware buttons, I was really happy. That’s been my biggest challenge in getting used to the GLD so far, coming from Yamaha land – knowing what’s on the surface vs. what’s on the screen.

It seems like that everybody is buying things (no matter if mixing desk or an phone) for something that this product is not capable of at the time they buy it and insist that the manufacturer MUST make an update…
Of course Bugfixing is a “must have” but why do you buy something that the console is not capable of and then insist that they have to reprogramm the firmware for your needs?
Dont get me wrong – regular feature updates are very nice and are always welcome – and of course i want them, but i bought my Ilive and i KNEW what it was capable of at the time i bought it and not what it might be capable of in the future.
Just my thoughts on reading so many “i want to haves” on both forums.
It’s very hard to do an evaluation of a product pre sale to the level of many of these items even if you can get your hands on it. It’s impossible for something like the GLD that hasn’t been shown much.
When you buy a car, you expect the defroster to work, even if you are shopping in the summertime. Ryan’s request is a pretty big oversight on the part of A&H. I would have expected Next/Previous scene to be there too.
Other items are wishes that don’t rise to the level of “must have”, but are just that – wishes for better functioning. I don’t see the problem in suggesting changes – it’s the best market research that a manufacturer can possibly get.
I’m very glad for you that the ILive is perfect as it is.
2012/05/02 at 7:21 pm #30488Excellent. Thanks!

The hotplug for the USB should work without a reboot.
There were some teething issues with early Beta software.
Can you confirm what software version you’re both running, and if its not V1.00, then you need to do a firmware update.
If you still have issues, please contact A&H technical support.
Cheers
Andy
A&Hwith firmware 1.0 (non-beta), I have no problems with my fat32 8GB pen drive, both recording and playing files and I connect it everytime when GLD80 is up and running. Notice that you can use only one usb flash memory connected, as said here:

MassimoMine is a 4GB Fat32 drive that’s not working. I’ll try to find another drive to try.
2012/05/02 at 11:56 am #30476Running 1.00 non-beta. It’s not working.
