Hi all, C1500 + CDM64 + DX168 proud owner here.
Sending a Mix bus to the Main LR is a feature request I would really love to have.
I’m aware that there’s latency involved and that there are workarounds, but if group to group is now possible, I don’t think Aux to Main LR is impossible.
There are more use cases than only “smash” groups or parallel compression.
Pleeeaaaase! DLive is getting there as my favorite mixing console.

This is already possible. While mixing to the Main LR, hold down the blue “Assign” button and press the “Mix” button on the fader of an audio subgroup. Now that subgroup is “On” to the Main LR.
Another method:select the Main LR fader and press “Routing” by the touchscreen. Locate the audio subgroup and turn it “On” to the Main LR.
It is worth noting these methods are the same methods used for turning an input “On” to an audio subgroup.
Perform the same operations mentioned above to turn an input channel “Off” from the Main LR to avoid double bussing.
He is talking about AUXs not groups.
Thanks, mmaly, but I was talking about Aux busses instead of Groups.
The members of a Group are fixed to a 0 dB level, and an Aux are user-variable, thats mainly the difference that I’m missing/needing.
I’m curious to hear more about your use case. I’m always in favor of flexibility.
You might be able to use matrices as a workaround. Basically just setup one of them to replace your Main LR bus.
For example a Bus for drum transients, where I submix Kick In, Snare Top and Bottom and Toms. I process that Buss as a whole with some sort of band-pass eq at ±10k Hz (not really band-pass but a Low cut and Hi cut), and then apply a fairly high ratio compressor.
In that context, for example, snare bottom mic is way lower than toms, so a subgroup is not really a solution.
I know there are Transient designers and similar effects, but a simple Buss does wonders. And that there are workarounds to be able to reinsert a Bus to the Main Mix via Ext-in or through matrices, but sending the Bus directly to the main, (like any other mixing console) is the easiest hassle-free way.
Another use case is, for example, a low-pitched parallel compression bus in a rock band, BUT the compressor is needed to be triggered mainly from the Bass guitar instead of a bassy Moog.
All that kind of processes, believe me, elevate my mixes to the point where I feel that I’m not needing Waves or top-notch plugins in a lot of cases.
Even with X32’s that kind of things does wonders to my mixes.
Send the required auxes to a group, send the group to FOH
As far as I know, Auxes can’t be sent to Groups neither, only to Matrices. Maybe I’m wrong.
Could you please describe how or where you can do that?
Select the MIX button of the group you want to send the auxes to and push up the aux masters like you woudl with a monitor send. any fader that changes color to the colr of the aux master can be added to the group…make sure the group is assigned to the LR buss by sleecting mix and gon gto routing.
Do I understand you correctly that you simply want to add the same channels that someone uses in an aux mix to a group, in order to send them to the main LR?
But that wouldn’t be the aux mix as the OP requested and emphasized again, but essentially just an addition of the same channels - right?
If so, this would have already been discussed in the thread.
I’m aware that group-to-group routing was implemented for dLive in the middle of last year, but in my opinion, aux-to-group or aux-to-main routing has been suggested many times but never implemented.
Because, until now, A&H has ruled it out due to the need to maintain consistent latency.
Or am I mistaken?
