2013/04/26 at 12:56 pm #33833I’m not sure that would be the correct move. It would also open up a world of support tickets for. Like buying a macbook and installing windows on it, in my book, asking for trouble.
Again, I would prefer more and cheaper surfaces – things that could easily be integrated in the same way. Like a small 8 fader + master surface. Done right, you could make some really innovative stuff to work as sidecars for a laptop with editor.
2013/04/26 at 8:36 am #33830I must say I disagree with you guys, and must jump to Allen & Heaths defense here. The iLive is supposed to be a professional environment, and that does not mean supporting all sorts of homebrewed solutions. It is already hard to get people to recognize the very healthy sound of the iLive system, which is actually the only thing besides sound craft/studer and midas out there, that really sounds very very good.
But the build quality and feel of the fixed format racks and surfaces is sub-par unfortunately, and opening up to an endless amount of weird midi-solutions out there, will only make the rider acceptance decrease even further.
The iLive is a great system, let A&H work on improving it, not worry about solutions that will eventually hurt surface sales – the surfaces are already too expensive.
2013/04/26 at 8:29 am #33829Brilliant!! Thanx a million!
2013/04/24 at 6:10 am #33811did you get any further?
2013/04/09 at 6:18 am #33657Sh**… That is frightening [:0]
2013/04/08 at 12:34 pm #33652Have you opened a support ticket with A&H?
2013/04/04 at 1:49 am #33637One thing I find kind of strange though, is that usually I just power down the surface, and then cut the power to the rack, just the same as if it lost power from a power break. Usually it is problem free, problem seems to come if the power is cut to both the rack AND the surface, without choosing “power down surface”. Can you confirm this millst?
2013/04/03 at 7:48 pm #33634I too have en AES card fitted in the rack, this must definitely be the cause. Please let me know about what you do, this is for me a nightmare scenario happening right in front of me!! Please A&H address this issue immediately!
2013/04/01 at 6:26 pm #33616I have experienced this one too on IDR48. It could seem it loads the patch settings from the previously loaded/activated scene, which could make sense, since the scene system has been changed. I believe mine starts up right, if I have saved it as a scene. This is a disaster to say the least. A&H must address this issue immediately!!
2013/03/19 at 12:28 pm #33507there’s no seperate channel EQ for monitorsends. No desks have this. If you do not want to share EQ for FOH and MON you will have to split to different channels for each purpose. The same applies if the different bandmembers wants different EQ settings.
2013/03/16 at 9:48 am #33469Though it seems people have taken it that way, I’m not particularly interested in wether the iLive system does 96k og not. 48 is fine by me. This is certainly not where I meet the limitations of the system. My wishes would be:
1. A better compressor. The current one is extremely flexible of course. Sidechain, int SC, Multiple algorithms, release time in dB/s, blend. All I really want is a more simple compressor, that sounds more “right”. The Vi desks have the most simple controls, and the best sounding compressor on digital desks. The iLive’s compressor is one of the reasons I find many new techs have a hard time “getting there” quickly, when they first meet the system. Simplify the controls, improve the algorithm(s). Peak and RMS is more than enough, if the basic sound is good! And give us a proper release parameter, milliseconds like everyone else.
2. The Limiter is now useless, and completely opposite of the compressor. No control at all. It is way too slow, obvious, and at it’s best it can be used to squash a DJ from smashing everything red. I really don’t understand it’s purpose.
3. Better feeling build quality of surfaces. They are simply too expensive for the kind of feel you get from a T surface or R72. Even the GLD is already much better, while not very good. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the build quality as such, but the look and feel is really not impressive. If you wanna play with the big boys, this should be addressed, though some of course will think that sounds ridiculous.
4. Lower noise floor, I really agree.
5. MUCH better startup and loading times.
6. an even better de-esser. Maybe the ability to apply broadband reduction, or a Q function.
7. More FX slots, and the ability to return outboard FX to FX returns instead of input channels.
8. Keep being totally awesome at an affordable price!! []

2013/03/12 at 11:54 am #33420the white paper is about converter latency, not processing latency. A plug-in from a sequencer will always report its latency in samples, and this does not change with samplerate. This means double samplerate, half latency. I would just suspect the same behavior from processing in a digital desk this would also explain why most desks out there are not phase coherent, when introducing parallel processing. More processing – more latency.
2013/03/04 at 8:05 pm #33327eehhhh… 96Khz would be = half latency on all processing in the desk, and introduce much, much less aggressive filtering in the A/D conversion. So that would actually be pretty welcome. But yes, to some it might seem like stupid marketing.
2013/02/14 at 10:54 am #33134That really would not make sense. That would be The same as just loosing a band in The parametric.
