FYI Here is My Config File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>This is great, can’t wait to try it out!
Is it possible to program/control MCAs with this app? I miss it badly when using iPad OneMix ![]()
@ Blangford… I tried importing your text as an XML file and couldn’t get it to work, any chance you can attach it as a file?
I’m currently on week 2.5 of using this for IEM and have both ST Groups/auxes working perfectly. My current working beta doc is attached for reference. In my show I have ch98-128 reserved for IEM channels, but also use a handful of groups for things like Audience mics, Drum Mix–>IEM, etc. Hope this helps sir.
Oops, XML file size is too large:

I put both our secondary campus default template show file and the custom control layout file in there. Feel free to give it a look.
I was able to get it to work… rebooted the mix-rack again and it started working. Thanks!
Glad to hear! I’ll pull the dropbox files.
@ A&H folks - I found another small annoyance: Say you have several identical layouts within the scope of one Layout Manager file. You realize that you need to change, say a single (mono) meter to dual (stereo) meters in the same place in several different layouts that are identical. (At least in terms of physical layout, each controls a different Stereo Aux.)
…you update one, then copy those dual meters from that first one and paste it to the same place in #2, 3 and so on. …but when you paste - the object doesn’t automatically paste back in to a container, even if the original source was also in a container.
So, you have to copy/paste, then move it a little so the #2 container recognizes the object is supposed to be inside of it. It’s super annoying when you’ve already got things neatly aligned, and then have to do that all over again. I would love to have the option that, when I paste something that falls within the zone of a container, it automatically pastes inside the container to avoid that extra step.
Metering not working for Groups, Solved: You can’t leave “post preamp,” selected as pickoff point in the editor. Any other choice results in a properly working group meter.
Thanks for the great new feature.
I also had issues with controlling auxiliaries, but a reboot of the mixrack seemed to fix it. Probably worth doing a reboot after upgrading to 1.81.
Would love it if someone would share their file for the purpose of Aux monitoring with an iPhone!
Or really any file so I can see how you all are doing it! The files above I couldn’t get working. Dropbox file was missing and xml data didn’t open.
@ Devan, I put my latest custom control file back here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7btkzpo721bk9uh/190610_AH_Custom_V5.xml?dl=0
Here’s my default (primary campus) dLive show as well so it will make sense:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gtas42awci1bq4f/190707%20Mish%20FOH.tar.gz?dl=0
I’ve changed a few things in there since then, but it’s more or less the same. Load Scene #497 for the full default show state. I’ll leave both files up there for a month or two and then pull em.
Band gets ipads that are designated to control StAux 4-8. I haven’t made an iPhone version yet, though it’d be something similar, probably sans meters. Hope this helps!
Thanks so much for that! Very helpful to see how you set everything up. I don’t have my C3500 yet. Our church is doing a major AVL upgrade and the board will be coming next week. Launch day is late Sept so I’m trying to figure out how to get my musicians some iPhone control of their monitors. This CC app is going to prove INCREDIBLY useful! Thanks A&H!
Inspired by the work by ThatComplicatedMidiGuy, I thought it might be useful to provide a more generic example, so I created a Config with 8 Layouts, each assigned to a dLive User Profile (with default user names) and controlling a St Aux. Each Layout has tabs to access channels 1-64, with controls for send level and pan, assign on/off (can be inverted for ‘mute’), chromatic channel meters, master level and mute. It also displays the dLive channel names using dynamic labels.
Hopefully a good starting point that can be customised to suit different device sizes or strip layouts.

@ Nicola - I dig what you did with the chromatic meters instead of the full standard meters, it’s a nice touch. I presume you’re using the row of send-assign buttons to effectively mute/unmute sends to that mix? I was hesitant to add that in my layouts, because turning the fader all the way down effectively does the same thing, and I was worried band folk would accidentally hit those. (…and then I’d have whiny band folk wondering why they couldn’t hear something.)
@ThatComplicatedMidiGuy
When you say 10 user logins per console, is that a combination of Custom Control/Director/MixPad or is that 10 instances of each?
It’s 10 user logins, period. Users are stored on the console, so however you dole that out, you get 10.
So in my case, I have: admin, band, non-redzone volunteer, Pack 1-5 (5x IEM user logins for Custom Control,) and two spares.
I’ve setup a user for each of our techs which recalls their scene.
I have setup another user called Onemix, which my band log onto with the Onemix app. Within their app I have setup their designated IEM mix. I’ve successfully had 4 band members using the app and all logged into the same user profile. No issues so far.
I’m not sure if this the correct way to manage multiple onemix connections, but otherwise I would need 30+ user accounts
minimum, to cover band and techs.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this method ?
There is no issue whatsoever with multiple users sharing the same user profile. The only limitation is the total number of TCP connections to the MixRack (40).
The reason multiple user profiles are required for the Custom Control ‘personal monitor’ example discussed here, is only because the design choice was to have a specific UI per user profile (each assigned to a different Aux).
Hi Nicola,
I haven’t tried Custom control yet.
In my earlier reply, I’m using a single user login for my OneMix users, and assigning an iem mix in the their app.
Is this correct way?
It’s working with no issues so far.
I have 8 techs so need to have 8 user profiles.
Hi Ash,
Yes that’s correct. The use of user profiles with OneMix is simply to distinguish between Admin and user access. All users can share the same user profile.
Nicola, thanks so much for that config file. Very helpful! Now I just need to configure something similar for the iPhone. My users would make best use out of it if it was an iPhone app. But this is great for me to see how everything should ideally be laid out and configured. Thanks!!
This is fantastic - I have managed to setup a 10 Tab Layout that gives me a great deal of functionality and an extra level of control on my dual touchscreen setup. The only thing I cant get working is Stereo compressor readouts on ANYTHING stereo (matrix, groups, FX returns). It always shows up with the stripes through it no matter how many times I reboot the mixrack or upload. Is this a bug or am I missing something!! Thanks
