New GLD Replacement

GLD GLD General Discussions

Any hints as to whether or not we’ll be seeing a new replacement for GLD, perhaps at Infocomm 2019? I’m holding off on an SQ because I’m hoping for a new GLD replacement soon. A 19" frame size would be great too along with the larger frame sizes that are presently available.

GLD MkII wishlist: Additions/changes to what is presently available in the current model…

  • 96kHz
  • 64in, 32out
  • DEEP plugins w/dLive compressor models
  • Ducker
  • 6 layers per bank
  • DCA spills

The SQ is nice, but I don’t really care for the workflow as much, nor the high fader density compared to GLD/dLive. Personally I like the individual mix buttons per channel strip a lot better than the mix keys found on Qu/SQ.

Some things that pop in my mind:

  • More buses, not necessarily with a physical output. I do not have sufficient buses for groups due to the large amount of stereo aux I need for IEM.
  • “Real” stereo input channels instead of ganging. With ganging I cannot perform simple panning of a keyboard unless I route the left and right input channels to a stereo group. Also the gain of the left and right input channels must be linkable.
  • Playlist and a shuffle function for the audio player. A simple music library function would also be welcome.
  • Headphone socket at the bottom right corner
  • More intuitive menu structure. For example: audio player is now in setup.

I’m going to chime in with the following features.

  • built in Audinate support please. Buying an M-Dante card is very costly.
  • native support for audio streaming over USB or firewire. Consoles costing have the price have this as a standard feature.
