A)
There is now a Gate Threshold function for the Custom Rotary Functions.
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, and I think it’s very good!
But I noticed that the threshold for the gate can be set here, but not for the source expander.
It would be nice if this could still be done.
For the Dual Threshold Expander, you could use the Upper Threshold value here?
B)
If a DCA group is opened via Spill and a channel function is edited there, the LIB key no longer works.
In the touch screen, it works via the Library button, but the button on the surface has no function. Unfortunately, I can’t remember which library I wanted to call up, but it was related to the DCA spill function. If I didn’t have DCA Spill selected, the LIB button worked.
That’s not a bad thing, because you can access it via the touchscreen. But it irritated me.
I think i found a little bug in 1.90
When using the Opto-Compressor the „Ratio“ Rotary in the compressor itself and in the Side-Widget do not match.
This has worked in all the 1.8X Versions.
See the attached Video:
The first has to do whit NEQ. When you switch the NEQ type to the new model and the switch back the faders resets to 0db but the yellow curve above doesn’t.
Set Safes ON/Set Safes OFF when using Gain Sharing does not work, or the blue outer line dosen’t show that it has changed setting.
Suggestion: Have the possibility to set all channels to Gain tracking, making it easy to set up Gain Tracking in digital split.

We cannot reproduce the DCA Spill / Lib button issue. If you come across it again, could you grab a quick video and raise a ticket at https://support.allen-heath.com/?
@TontechnikDH
Well spotted, this is now logged in our system.
@Wilmer
Can you post a picture of the yellow curve after changing EQ type? A small bump at the low end of the spectrum is a known (pre V1.9) bug and doesn’t affect the audio.
The blue outer line on ‘Set Safes On’ is not a state representation. The button sets all preamps patched from that I/O Port to Safe, which is then reflected in the Global Safes menu.
@NicolaA&H
I can’t reproduce the problem with the DCA spill/lib button anymore either. As soon as I notice it again, I’ll let you know.
But I have found a second error.
In NEQ12, the last filter can be switched in its function. However, when it is switched to Bell, the bandwidth can be changed on the screen, but a connected measuring system shows no change in the bandwidth of this filter.
With the other filters, however, the regulation of the bandwidth works perfectly.
I can make a video if necessary.
I think I found a bug with scene recall and softkey assignments.
Pg. 80 of Manual (Firmware Reference Guide) says softkeys are stored in scenes.
Using proper filtering a scene & softkey combination should be able to round-robin between two (or more) scenes.
I’ve noticed in the RTA, touch and turn for the “peak” response is hardly functional. Turning the knob hardly has an effect on the value. This isn’t the case for the “average” response.
Now that I have updated to 1.9 I have to come back to my post from the 25th concerning “don’t mount IPs when offline” settings in Director.
If you don’t uncheck this setting on every restart of Director (because it is self resetting) and go online, you have no chance to connect a IP8 (or probably any IP Controller) to the surface while online from within Director. Making an extra step necessary for any surface-less setup to get your system up and running.
So I tend to declare this self-resetting function in Director as a bug!!
One side note on the update process itself.
Had to do that from within a browser (surface-less setup, you get it). On the end of the update process you get a error message “Error: state of the MixRack can’t be received. Please wait…” with nothing happening from then on. I believe this has to do with the fact, that from 1.9 on updates are not possible from a browser anymore, but thru Director only? And connections from browsers are blocked from now on, leaving the last step of the update process in the dark.
Maybe a note on that fact would be very helpful to keep anyones blood pressure low…
Hello.
I’ve worked on DLive 1.9 for eight concerts.
Two devices began to work very slowly.
I rechecked at 1.88, everything is still there without problems and quickly.
At 1.9, it is impossible to make a tap delay exactly.
Sometimes it does not respond to soft keys (due to the very slow operation of the application).
It is very difficult to work.
Is it worth waiting for speed adaptation in the next firmware or changing devices to more powerful ones?
I use a DELL Windows tablet (i5-7300U CPU, 8GB RAM with SSD) and a macbook pro 15" mid 2014 (i7, RAM 16)
@Geraslav
We are investigating graphics performance with V1.9 Director on certain computer hardware. Please bear with us, we might have a solution in the next maintenance release.
