How to get the PAFL on the PC- Speaker by remote- controlling with Avantis Director?

[@Johnbanthony]

Avantis does not have a way to pass audio to a computer without a waves or dante card. To do this you’d need to run the audio from an avantis with a dante card and then use an aggregate device program like Audiomeeter to route the dante signal out your speakers. You would need Dante Virtual Sound Card running as well.

[@mez9518]

Hi guys! How can i send my input channel to dedicated subwoofer mono bus (L R + M system configuration where M is my sub)?

[@Johnbanthony]

Routing to the Mono Send is not available in the Routing tab. You’ll have to add a Fader for the Mono aux to one of your fader layers. Select the that Mono Aux and then you’ll be able to route to it as needed.

[@du6s]

We just got the cdm32 and I’m brand new to all things Allen and heath. Deep plugins are an extra purchase on the dLive?

[@Johnbanthony]

DEEP plugins are included with all Dlive mix engines. They’re add ons for Avantis and SQ.

[@sonicsound84]

How do I use Director offline and load a show file that was emailed to me?

[@Johnbanthony]

You’ll need to setup your USB drive location in the System Page. Covered Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKadn6qhNSiabs and then place the show file in the directory you choose for the location. Make sure to configure director with the same surface and rack as the file when starting director. The file will still load and function, but this will ensure you match the I/O and fader layout.

[@olumideoluwafemi6112]

My Dlive surface C3500 v1.87 touch screen stopped responding, please how do I resolve that?

[@Johnbanthony]

I would check that your mix rack is running the same firmware. Try that and a 'screen calibration'. If no change after that, you’ll need to contact Allen and Heath support.

[@mixrhuan]

Olá ótimo vídeo poderia min explicar como usar uma cena no off-line, feito no Windows, como uma cena base, para usar no ao vivo ? Pelo Pen drive ?

[@Johnbanthony]

If you create a scene in the mixpad software, it can be used with any console. When you’re in offline mode, you can emulate an SQ 5 6 or 7 to better optimize for your console. Setup > Mixpad > SQ Model. Once you finish programming in offline mode, connect your computer to the console with a network port and follow the instructions on your board to sync. Connect the sq to your computer before opening the mix pad software for the best results

[@remopns]

How do you type in exact values? Is this an option?

[@Johnbanthony]

Currently the only integration with a keyboard is to type a name for Channels, Auxes, etc.

[@trevorsifa_]

Hi, must I have a dante card for this to work?

[@Johnbanthony]

You do not need the Dante card to be able to use the dLive Director app.

[@aedrummer255]

how to pan left right ? where ..

[@Johnbanthony]

Specific to Director, if you have a fader bank pulled up, Control+click on the red gain knob. Here you can select Pan and then adjust the pan pot.

[@realSethMeyers]

How do you set the time?

[@Johnbanthony]

press the utility button on a surface, then Utility > Date/Time

[@BrandonHortman]

Does it support multi touch?

[@Johnbanthony]

No, it does not.

[@aksharjoshi452]

[@Johnbanthony]
