Thanks guys.

I’ll put my thinking-cap on then. It would have been good to be able to use my existing stageracks with a new mixer, but maybe not worth spending around $2300 on a QuPack as long as it already has enough local inputs, and i know my use of it will be on smaller stages…
Maybe I’ll go for the Soundcraft Ui16 instead, it arrives in June. They are about $800, so lot’s of money to be saved. And it might be just big enough with the 12 XLR’s… Awaiting the Ui24 🙂

[VolumParticipant]

You make valid points. I rest my case 🙂

[VolumParticipant]

Well, thanks guys.

I can understand that the point MJC is making. But if the only point is to be able to have an empty slot among the 8 FX-engines I hardly see the need, but that’s just me I guess 🙂

And eotsskleet; I know about the library, of course, but what you are suggesting is possible even from already loaded effects, hence still no real need for the “empty rack”… Just my two cents 🙂

[VolumParticipant]

Adding a “peak hold” function to it would be nice also.

[VolumParticipant]

Freakin’ a…. Thanks Chris.
First I thought: I have done that, but then I saw that i actually had chosen the folder “Show” (in the USB directory), and that does not work. So after trying again, selecting the USB-stick it self, I found my files.
Thanks again 🙂

Thanks.

You wrote

“No, the iPad will automatically connect to the wifi network, but every time you launch OneMix it will prompt the user to choose a user profile and enter the password (if one is set).”

This is where things have gone wrong for me in the past, but that may be because i had both users setup separately (as two users), on the GLD. Then both of them could connect to both “Admin” and their own user-profile after I set up their iPads…
I will try the way you explained this weekend. Hopefully it works better then! 🙂

I know you are not allowed to reveal any new features, but your “job” is to keep the secrets, ours is to nag 😉

Thanks!

Hi Nicola, and thanks for your response.

So, are you saying that there is no reason to deactivate all the settings in the “OneMix” user setting on the GLD then?

Regarding logging in from the musicians iPad:
After I do that (use their iPad to log on as an admin) to set up their respective aux, they will still have the possibility of logging in as an admin to the GLD, because the login information is kept in the iPad… Or am I missing something? At least that’s how I’ve seen the iPads work until now, and that’s a little worrying 🙂

Og course I can change the password for the “Admin” user on the mixer on every gig, but who does that..? Personally i don’t even use a password for the “Admin”, because I am the only one using the mixer. But my WiFi is encrypted, of course.

A video of the setup procedure (or a manual describing it in detail) I think would be highly appreciated.

PS: Since you are a member of the A&H-team; Any hope for my other requests in a future firmware update? 🙂

[VolumParticipant]

Ahh… Thanks for your help.

1. First off i changed one of the users name to “OneMix”, so that i have the permissions set. I disabled everything in there, so hopefully they will now only have access to the mix and master for their respective Aux-mix. Set a password for this.

2. This is where i feel A&H has gone wrong, again compared to the Presonus. When logging on as “Admin” on the musicians iPad, they will still have the possibility to log in as “Admin” at a later time, and screw up my mix because the iPad will remember the login details, right? Not good 🙂

And: setting it up this way is a hassle. On the Presonus they can just log their iPads on to your network, then they will come up in the “setup” where you easily can give each iPad/iPhone permission to ex aux 5, aux 6, and so on. It only takes a few seconds…

3. For my use (working with a lot of different bands) it was more the thought on having all these users (and not enough user profiles on the desk) that struck me as worrying. But as you say: This is a major problem.

Thanks again. I am in the process of reconfiguring my mixer due to a possible corrupt showfile made on my previous one, which by the way was found to be beyond repair, so you made my programming and first meet with the musicians thursday a little easier! 🙂

I still hope the A&H crew in the future will give us more than 2 seconds delay on the internal FX, a couple of multiband compressors, a “home”-button (function) that clears all PAFL, SEL and MIX settings, and last but not least: the possibility of the screen going directly to the PEQ function when adjusting one of the EQ-buttons, and likewise for comp, gate, preamp and HPF. Then I would be a happy camper! Do you read this, Allen & Heath? 🙂

You can link layers on both banks with the new firmware, It might get you halfway there

Chris93:

Do you have a USB-stick inserted when shutting down, or have you tried both with/without?

Make a ticket to the A&H-guys, and i hope they will help.

I’ve had the same problem. Our GLD80 starting generating lots of log messages, then afterwhile locked-up, had to hard reset. This then happened again.

We had a Matrix mix sent to the internal USB recorder, but did not have a USB memory stick plugged in. We removed the mix on the patchbay i/o screen and issue ‘seems’ to have gone away.

Snippet from our logfiles:

Where’s the A&H ticket support URL?

We’re on firmware v 1.2.0.
Have a wedding and church service to engineer this weekend, hoping GLD does not freeze!

Hi Derek.

Here is the link to make a ticket (you need to register):

The screen will lock while I am dropping channels into faders. I’ve had this happen 3 times in the last week and a half. One of the times I did notice that changing fader layers on bank two became sluggish.

Sorry to hear that you also have problems. Have you made a ticket on the A&H support-site? If not, please do, and send them you logfile. I have been in touch with them since monday, and they are working hard on this problem right now. Maybe your situation and data could help them understand.

Thanks.

But buying an app for E 5,00 is to much? [?]

Ashley: You clearly can’t read! I have bought the app (I wrote that further up on this page), and that is NOT the point in this matter.

Best of luck to you

PS: I would rather pay 50-100 USD for the Remote app, and keep the OneMix free. DS

I agree with you, Bob. But a lot of people coming on my stage for just one night won’t take the cost of buying the app, because the next day they may be playing a scene with a VI series mixer, or a CL, or something else.

Of course, the iPad is the main cost…
A feature that is not for everyone.

Of course, but surprisingly many of the people coming on my stages have an iPad or an iPhone, and LOVED the possibility to just download the Presonus app and control their own mix. And I would LOVE to give them the same opportunity with my new GLD also, but I guess there will be some reservations when they have to pay for it. Though 35NOK (local currency) is not a lot of money…

PS: I have already bought it, and it has been on my iPad since this morning DS
