Hi, First apologize me for my very bad english. Si quelqu’un parle francais 😉 Ok, I want buy idr 48 mixrack without surface and use computer for mix. For this time I downloaded editor and use this off-line, just for see what is the best way for working. I not understand how to create mute group or dca ☹ Usually i’m working with yamaha digital desk and i use studio manager. I love the “main view” of selected channel. The same view do not exist on ilive editor? Another question, how to save my configuration? For exemple i build fx rack but if i close/open editor the fx rack is empty. Regard’s Alain ---

Hi Alain, To create a DCA group, you need to press the mix button at the bottom of the DCA channel strip you wish to use, then press the on/off buttons at the top of the channel strips you’d like to be part of this group. For Mute Groups the procedure is the same, but you need to turn a DCA into a mute group by right clicking on the DCA channel and selecting the mute group menu item. To save your configuration you will need to archive a show from the show manager, and then restore it when you open editor in the future. Hope that helps? Colin A&H ---

Thank’s a lot Colin. The right click doesn’t work, but in dca channels menu options i found “show mute groupe buttons” After i select this options i think if i press “mg” buttons in dca channel strip and follow your instructions i’m create a mute group, correct? I still have some work with ilive editor, to find how to make a virtual sound check for example, then I risk to return often on the forum. Have a nice day, Alain ---

> quote: > * * * > _Originally posted by colinso_ > > Good luck with your virtual soundcheck! > > * * * I hope is not an impossible mission ?! But for this time i not found how to… Just patch b port (madi) 1 to 48 in “input-direct out” for recording and press “virtual sound check” button on ilive editor for playback?[:p] Oups, i don’t see this button[☹] If anybody know the best way for create and use this function… I was going to forget, i search how to view and use delay input channel.
