don't think you can "crack" hardware ...

Extraordinary!! 🎉🎉

Eight insert points for EVERY input? That's very impressive. How many insert points for aux busses, matrixes, groups, and outputs?

[@Hebeundhalbzeuge]

Eight is not much, because EQ, Comp, HP need their own instert slot

[@MrWillihelmdueck]

Every bus is the same 8 slots.

[@diatoun]

​​@@Hebeundhalbzeugeyes but no if you have channel strip for the basics it's only one slot ;)

[@diatoun]

Yes but at a moment you have a limited DSP so you need to add more DSP.

[@DavidKwork]

@@Hebeundhalbzeuge SSL Channel will do all of that and take up one slot

[@abimaelmartell]

this is really nice, i wonder what OS is it running and if there is any licensing costs for it down the road

[@blueclxuds]

windows based

[@rollthetape88]

you own the lience on your account, in perpetuity. There is the 12 month WUP which is a capped cost for technical support and software updates, which you do not need to pay.

Is it possible to expand more multi tracking recordings' numbers from 16 to 24 or above, by using the expansion I/O's? If that is possible, which model of the expansion unit?(looking to have at least minimum 24 channels of I/O's & 24 multitrack channels) Also, does the multitracking feature of this console, do "Punch In & Out"? Sorry if i am asking stupid questions...🙏🙏

[@fullcompass]

Hello! Yes, the on board recording is 16 tracks, but you can track up to 128 channels to an external DAW by using the SoundGrid ASIO driver on your computer connected to the SoundGrid network. No hardware required, just a computer and network connection. There is no punch in/out feature on the local recorder of the LV1 Classic as it is intended to record live performances. Punching in and out is something you would do in your DAW, as described above.

[@golishevskiy]

nice work! which CPU model used in this device as internal DSP SGserver?

[@gffa189]

Gen 12th i5

[@rayok_zed]

I see someone planning to build their own

[@fullcompass]

Hello! Waves does not specify a CPU for the onboard DSP. In terms of processing capabilities, it is equivalent to the Waves Extreme-C server.

[@sp0rtbilly77]

Does it support AVB?

[@fullcompass]

Hello! There are several network modules available for converting various audio formats like Dante and MADI to SoundGrid which can be used as expansion devices with the LV1 Classic. However there is no option for AVB at this time.

[@willmcelroy6376]

Is this also for studio use?

[@fullcompass]

Hello! The LV1 classic is designed primarily as a live production mixer for FOH, monitor, and broadcast applications. But it can potentially be used for studio applications in conjunction with a DAW by using the SoundGrid ASIO driver and connecting your DAW to the SoundGrid network.

[@jeffreblanco9552]

I wish this has a lower price tag.

[@TinoSchulz1990]

The "form factor" is absolutely impractical in my opinion. No way to swivel the monitor when working outdoor with a sun behind your neck or indoor shows with lights behind you? No thanks. The idea behind this console is nice. But not from a practical standpoint in my opinion. Also it being a windows system i can't see myself using it for live shows.

[@arguy2021]

I'm not attempting to disagree with you, because windows...lol, but also, what aspect of the platform are you most concerned with? What would you anticipate being a failure point?

[@TinoSchulz1990]

​@@arguy2021 Well, windows is known to corrupt drivers with each of their "updates". Not a single update goes by without people crying about some of their devices not working anymore. Of course waves will have systems to prevent such things from happening. But i've had nothing but trouble with windows systems in live-sound as well. On audio-optimized hardware...

[@imaxy00]

Digico and Avid consoles are Windows based , nothing wrong with it

[@HunterShawMusic]

@@TinoSchulz1990DiGiCo runs on embedded Windows XP and it’s been the touring standard for the last decade 😬

[@stephenfleming8030]

Its Windows Jim, but not as we know it.

[@stephenfleming8030]

At 8K it's significantly more expensive than something like Behringer Wing which, haters aside, offers a whole lot more depending on how you look at it...on the other hand, this occupies a weird space as it's potentially also a studio solution depending on how loud that fan on the side is.

[@BenjaminRCook]

And with the Wing Compact coming out soon... No competition.

[@gffa189]

What does it offer more exactly?

[@stephenfleming8030]

@@gffa189 More wide ranging connectivity out of the box, knob per function channel control, higher fader count though lower channel and buss count, premium FX as standard...and most importantly, a 50% discount. But like I said, it depends entirely on how you look at it. For some folks the LV1 will be a no brainer, others the Wing wins.
