I’m glad I checked on this forum out today….I would have hated to miss out on this great deal….I don’t have any dante devices at this point, but when I do finally get some, at least I don’t have to spend $150 to get a license….$30 is much better…..

1 license for my laptop….1 license for the Church computer

Thank you Audinate!

If you really want to get the software rolling, here’s the link to the TCP/IP/Midi protocols under the documents area: https://www.allen-heath.com/uk/Products/pages/ProductDetails.aspx?catId=GLDSeries&ProductId=GLD80&SubCatId=

I’m sure we would all love the first person to figure out how to make their ipad work with it…..I’d love to, but I don’t have a GLD

Because of A&H actually taking the time to make these documents, I can’t imagine they will never make a program, but they are still working out bugs in the console, so once they are happy with that, I would expect PC/Mac software will be next, then the iDevice software…

Although I don’t have a GLD available to me at this point, I’m planning on getting a GLD with Dante for my Church (hopefully in the near future…I’m ready to put in about $5k from my own pocket so that we do go that route).

I currently use Reaper for recording, and when I had Snow Leopard (Mac), I could actually make my calendar launch Reaper and automatically start recording every Sunday at 10:35, then quit and save at 12:30. Worked like a charm….too bad it seems like Lion doesn’t like doing it…still need to try to figure that out….

you can demo Dante between eg. a pair of computers (or even virtual machines)….thats what I did a few months ago…it was pretty cool how Dante seems to work….

It will share audio with the iLive via ACE, MADI, DANTE, ETC, but the show files are not the same as its a completely different architechure, DSP is on the surface, simple plug and play operation.

we are very excited about debuting this at NAMM. Come see us booth 6464

I think what Lieven says is probably right. In terms of the iLive system, how can you honestly get smaller then the r72 + idr16? And they still made that combination around $13-15k US (sorry not sure exactly on price). The only way to make an LS9 type of price range is by offering a new system or dropping the r72 price by $4-5k (which I would have preferred, but oh well…). I hope that the new system will offer many of the iLive features, but obviously it probably won’t have the expandability that the ilive has….I guess we’ll find out soon….

I wonder if the on the touch screen the tabs say:
1. SigGen (signal generator)
2. USB Audio
3. Audio Sync
4. Direct out

Thats kinda what they look like to me….

also looks like on the playback portion, that there is a track timing bar that you can choose where on the track you want to be….they should add in a “This is where I’m at timer” along side that…for both playback and recording….

What ever it is, I’m very interested because there is little chance of me getting $15K for the ilive for a church upgrade…but a $5k system maybe….I love the ilive features so as long as its close (which by the pics, It looks like it), I’m happy.

The mixer does have 2 usb ports, which according to the teaser1.jpg (the touchscreen one), it plays back audio files (only 1 from the looks of it) and records 1 channel. Also tells you how much space is left on the usb stick via a progress bar (no numbers to the looks of it).

Looks like the main brain (going along with the idr idea) has inputs 1-24 and outputs 1-12 and the expander unit has inputs 25-32 and outputs 13-16.

4 fader banks. LCD screens on channels (Hurray!). Curious why they have a “DCA” button on a channel, but I’m sure we’ll find that out…They could be just renaming the ACE protocol to dSNAKE?? tough to say….Monitor obviously goes to either and dedicated monitor board output, or a personal mixing system.

A&H, Can we have some higher resolution teaser pictures so we read more words on the board?

Can’t wait to see/here more….if you need someone to demo the system I would love to do it!

Monitor Rack. if we have an iDR-48 @ FOH, then use and iDR-16 @ Mon land (because doing digital split) How about an output mostly box (8 inputs 32 outputs)

Rockin!

You could use the iDR10 to create your own custom output box. But I do agree that maybe some thought could be put into making maybe a iDR 16 output box(especially if it can be cheaper then setting up a 16 channels worth of output on the iDR10). The smaller form factor would be a plus for many of the users who would be interested in it I’m sure.

thanks guys!

I know I’ve thought about doing the computer thing as well (get the idr16 or 32 probably), the downfall is that if I’m not there, theres no other computer to do it at this point, thats why I would be thinking of doing the r72….but for getting into the system, still a great idea….I’ve made a few edits to the file since posting it…

What I really wanted to get across is the amount of money that we would actually save compared to an equal analogue system. I know I’ll probably never use 100 inputs any time soon, nor using compressors, gates, and eqs on each channel…but making it so we don’t have to buy more gear later (except another couple of idr’s for remote areas or something…thought about one for a overflow area….)

I know its a big portion of the budget in one shot, but I’m pretty sure we should be able to expand it over a couple of years, which then won’t be too bad at all…This last year we actually raised our budget from 100k to 125k (planned for 25k going to the building fund) and its appears as though we’ll make it quite readily so I’m guessing we’ll probably raise it up again this year…and I’m finally going to get an audio budget for the first time in the churches life…which I’m requesting minimum of 1k (but will take more of course!)…gonna talk a bit about it, bring up what I’ve paid for, etc….we’ll see how that goes….

The pastor and 2 other board members that I’ve discussed quite a bit about this system actually look forward to this as I tell them what it does and such….so theres only about 3/10 of us that I’m actually concerned about trying to convince when the time comes….but we’ll see how that goes…..

Only time will tell….but in the mean time….anyone want to donate an iLive system us? []

Thanks again for the comments!

So I’m looking into the iLive system for Church and as far as I’m concerned, it is the best system out there.

As for an idea that I’m sure software should be able to do, which I assume it can’t currently (have heard of it), is using the 8 softkeys as layer selects.
eg.
R72 current max I/O = 72, add 8 softkeys @ 12 faders each = max I/O of 168
T80 current max I/O = 80, add 8 softkeys @ 20 faders each = max I/O of 240
T112 current max I/O = 112, add 8 softkeys @ 28 faders each = max I/O of 336

By allowing the use of those soft keys as faders selects, for major productions, this could make the whole system even more wanted (I do realize the r72’s might shoot up a bit and the t112’s down, but not that much as thats a lot of channels for only 12 faders so just not as easy to get to them compared to the t112, but for someone who’s used to it…no problems)

All this would take is allowing the softkeys to have the same options/code as the current layer selects. I doubt it would be too difficult….and its not like a user has to use them…..but if someone needs to expand there board beyond where it can go currently, this update could be very handy!

Something else that I have no experience in though….I’ve got no idea how lighting controllers work, but the interface seems to be very similar from a few that I’ve seen. Would it be possible to have some new cards for the iDR10 that allows inputs for room lighting? With scene selection, you could map the lighting settings to match your scene selects (but of course fairly basic). I know that would be out of the usually A&H products….but the surface is just a surface….its the card (or even a whole new rack) that controls the lights….just a thought….

and last thing…which I did already lol….on the mac version of the editor, make an icon for the program to look like like the ilive it looks so much better then the standard apple new program icon. Heres the link to the t80 pic I converted (towards the bottom of the page): https://web.me.com/yeshua11/Joshs_Website/Extras.html
