I know there is a way to have two surfaces and one IDR32 stage box,
could someone please break it down for me? I know i can do this with a few cables, no extra cards either.
Could someone please break it down?
Currently i have
1 IDR32
1 R-72
1 Dante Card
I want to have another control surface for monitors i dont mind using the digital trim.
Thanks!
Hmm…it must be broke!
Well, I don’t think you can connect 2 surfaces to one iDR. You still need another iDR. Poor man’s option is to have GLD with Dante card as secondary surface.

So the dante has two outs i noticed.
Could i use one for multi tracking to a pc and the other to a GLD board?
Thanks!

I guess that raises more questions to.
How would i get my aux outs from the IDR32 if im using the GLD
Would i be able to have my kick on channel one on the r-72 and also the gld and eq them seperate or would i need a seperate layer for monitors still?
Hmm…it must be broke!
Dante card has 2 sockets that can pass audio, but if you need more a simple gigabit switch will solve this. The output routing can be done via Dante, so your monitor mixes from GLD will come out of iDR. And yes- you will have complete split, each console will have separate EQ, dynamics, etc. for the same mic input.

Thank you so much.
Why can’t the ilive be used then?
A gld is a lot cheaper and would be fine for monitors but I don’t see why an ilive would work.

See this
iliveforum.allen-heath.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1500
Because the ilive console has no ‘brain’ for that you’d need an idr0 and an ilive console. The brain is about 9k alone as its made for the IDR modular pro series.
You could always use a gld, Yamaha Cl, or really any console that lets you use Dante. There’s no reason you have to stay in the ilive family
I shoulda kept my ls9-32!!!

Yamaha’s Dante card is a toy: only 16 channels bidirectional

You still have the option of using several editors together with one surface . We always route our 32 mic in to two channels in order to have a completely separate monitor mix inside ONE Mixrack.

Adding “an iLive” aka another mixer does work!
But a surface is just a controller, a surface IS NOT a mixer! The mixrack is the mixer…
So, yes you can connect another MixRack via Dante. To that second MixRack (whatever iDR you like, with or without I/O) you can connect your second surface.

Awesome! I dont mind having two controllers for the same mixer. As long as two people are not doing the same things everything should be good correct?
How would i go about using a second ilive

Exactly As I said you need a second brain, aka an ilive idr0 and a surface!
You cannot use two surfaces with one mix rack brain. It doesn’t work that way.

Me neither
Only possible with laptop editor (software) as extra controller though…
I so hope we made ourselves clear now

Cheapest way is to use a laptop with editor. Since you have an iDR32 you can assign mic pre 1 to input 33, 2 to 34… to have separate processing between foh and monitor. There is an excellent tutorial on the A&H website describing this. Otherwise I believe you must have at least an iDR0 to be able to do it with two services.
BTW, you can use MIDI controllers with the editor. I have successfully experimented with 1 BCF2000 and, when another one comes up second hand I will see how it goes with multiples.
I am thinking that having 5 BCF2000s with an editor would be rather nice for foldback particularly with a touchscreen to choose the mix to control easily (as you can’t asign a MIDI controller to the MIX button).
This may help you.

The iDR0 has been mentioned several times as the thing you need when you want to have two surfaces, but really the iDR16 would in most cases be a far better investment, as with it’s in and outs it is in itself a complete 16/8 mixing solution that can be controlled form either an iLive surface, PC with editor or iPad or all of those simultaneously and WHILE being used to facilitate said monitor split.
