Press “MIX” on the Main L/R channel, then press and hold down the “assign”-button (located between the two fader-banks) while pressing “MIX” on the group you want to send to L/R.
You will then se “ON” in the group name/ch-window.

As far as i know there is no SIP, but you can P(A)FL the signal by holding down the “Sel”-key for the preamp, the EQ, comp and so on, to monitor the signal in various places of the chain in your headphones.
It’s possible that this signal can be routed to one of the outputs, but i have never tried it Anyone else?

2 = Yes

3 = Clear solo (PAFL) is on softkey 9, if you are running the newest firmware.

+ 1 for the multiband compressor!

Also i BEG A&H to do something about the delaytimes in the FX engines. 1.36 seconds is just not long enough!

And what about beeing able to setup the musicians iPads to adjust their respective monitor-mixes? I had that on my Presonus, and it’s a FOH-tech’s dream!

GLD did not boot, not even with just the power cable connected. Got good help from the Norwegian distributor, but the mixer has to be shipped for a major service. Got a Presonus SL24, and did the show, just got home…

Suspicions goes towards the USB-system, so to all of you GLD-users out there i would suggest to minimize the USB-use until A&H has a clue on what’s going on… I hear they have issued a press release regarding problems similar to whatI encountered…

We shall all keep the faith though, in a month or so we will have an iPad app, and a new firmware (hopefully with longer delaytime settings for the FX’s, and other goodies

Well, no my GLD also froze. And i did not record anything. Had a 64Mb Kingston int the USB-slot. Don’t know if that’s the problem..?

Hi Sam, and thank you for your swift response to my questions.

Hopefully there will be a “Clear Mix/PAFL/Select”-function in a future firmware update, if technically possible. I can live with it the way it is for now, but it certanly keeps me on my toes [:p]

My question #3, regarding the FX return “ON” funtion to it’s own send; It seems that this is still not resolved.
I checked my firmware (which was/is V1.02 (OS V2.09), and loaded the default template, experiencing the same issue.
Just to make you (and me) happy i reinstalled the latest firmware (1.02, freshly downloaded from your site) and tried again. But the FX5 return can still be sent to the FX5 input if one is not careful. I have not checked FX 6-8 to see if the problem is similar on all extra effects. My guess is that the preprogrammed effects (1-4) is set up the “right” way, but someone has forgotten to do this on the 5-8 FX’s which are not active as default when loading the L&R template.
This is no biggie, but now you know []

I tried your tip abaout routing the USB playback directly to the mains, and it works fine, thanks! Though it could be a little loud when the Master is set to 0db, even with the “trim” all the way down. And the trim will also affect other sources, or am I mistaking?

What i really did not specify in my question was that i still would like to have the USB playback volume on faders, if possible(?), without using the same faders as for an analog input. My bad.

Thanks for your time, and for making what so far seems to be a good product. I hope there is an “in depth” manual coming soon to tell us about all the tips and tricks of the console. There are still a few functions that is not described anywhere. For all i know there could be a PacMan-game hiding in there somewhere if you just push the right buttons []
