Apologies for assuming the April Fools post on your previous topic…

the clock settings on the DLive are in the Utility tab of the Utility button home screen. When you do reset the clock however just beware that it is notorious for not keeping time. it will likely lose quite a few minutes each week, so I would not plan on relying on it for anything critical if I were you. seeing the clock 43 mins off will be a common occurrence unfortunately…

All the best

Anyone else notice the date???

Steffen, agree that for some uses keeping all sends global is valid, however when dealing with MEs and recording there are often times where different channels are required at different points in the chain. The tie lines help, but the option to select pick off points would be useful as well. Maybe this could be an option that could be enabled by the user? This would also provide a good way of resetting all channels back to a consistent setting when the desk gets a bit messy.

[BradParticipant]

i would add a vote here. Adding to this a feedback eliminator insert could be useful for some situations as well…

[BradParticipant]

Hi Nicole, could the scene not be imported from the older show? Once imported if the global safes were turned off, would the settings from that scene then be recalled into the new show?

[BradParticipant]

My understanding is that patching is in the patchy section in other, but processing > preamp controls the gain.

happy to be corrected if i am wrong though!

[BradParticipant]

you could simply gang the faders, but leave the trim “un-ganged”

Hi Steve,

sockets can be linked via tie lines on the I/O page. just select the surface or mix rack input sockets on the left side, then the location of the Dante card on the output side. as far as dante controler is concerned it only “sees” dante channels, not the original source.

i would second TCMG though. just do the mix using the dlive bus. if you don’t want to run an iPad, just use the computer you are connected to via dante to run dlive director. this gives you full control over the bus mix

Hi Steve,

the IP Take off point can be assigned from various points in the signal chain (post EQ, post comp etc) in the Routing page using the “Global IP Direct Out Source” selector. you an also use the tie lines to send a direct post preamp signal out. In our setup we run IP outs post PEQ to a ME system, and use the tie lines to record to a dante card. as another option you can also assign via the record send of a virtual sound check in the I/O page. i believe this is also a post preamp only send (happy to be corrected though).

hope that helps

The preamps on bass can be quite handy (split the channel and have a wet/dry mix). i second the mighty comp on snare. 16t is useful on drums in general and bass. they dyn8 with a multi band window from ~800-5k side chained against lead vocals can make some space in the guitars. Dyn8 in general can be very handy on some singers. i also found the opto handy on vocal bus, but am also changing across to the optronik.

[BradParticipant]

We run a similar setup at our church with the dante interface card. works a treat, and pretty easy for a bunch of volunteers to setup as well. we have protools for the VS; however we also record direct into garage band (no judgment please) for simple stuff. would do the job for a simple practise setup.

[BradParticipant]

not according to this thread:

Latency

[BradParticipant]

can’t comment on this case, but we have had 8 ME1s working perfectly for about 2 1/2 years so far (running of a MEU hub). the only issue we have ever had came down to a bad network cable. it would be interesting to know about other failures though as a just in case…

[BradParticipant]

Agree. another application would be to have one compressor self keyed, with another side chained. at the moment we can either use the DYN8 on an insert, or route to a group. another more roundabout way might be to route the IP direct out to a physical port, then patch that back into an input if the total mix count is an issue. it would be nice if input channels could be routed back into another input (just like mixes can be routed into an input).

[BradParticipant]

OK, that makes sense. in this situation would there need to be some type of gain compensation taking place? i.e. if you bring the mains MCA up to bring faders back into the sweet zone, would you also want the DCA to drop by an equivalent dB to keep the overall volume the same?
