[QUOTE="Kevin Maxwell, post: 209382, member: 321"] The scene management in my opinion is not ready for theatrical use. I had this discussion with A&H many years ago (at a trade show) after using an iLive for Musical theater and they just didn’t seem to get it. I am sorry I am in the middle of an insane week. I am sure I have written about this in the past but I don’t have the time to look up those things now. While discussing the SQ scene management with the full time audio guy at my church the subject of the scene management came up and the same weirdness that I though the SQ has he said the dLive also has. It is fine for storing a concert setup but not for sequencing thru cues for a Musical or editing those cues on the fly during rehearsals. I would have to get my hands on one again because I basically put them out of my mind for consideration due to the behavior. I can guess but I don’t want to say exactly what the behavior is without playing with it again. If you want after this week things slow down a little for me and I can go play with one of them that is available to me. The dLive Midi isn’t fully implemented yet, to the best of my knowledge, you can’t do channel EQ control and there may be some other things it can’t do. There also isn’t a windows driver that they make or that they are willing to recommend for their Midi over TCP/IP and if they can’t get that right and support that that is a problem for me. The scene management program I use is a windows program. It can run on a mac if it has a true version of windows running on it. It can talk Midi or OSC or actually Midi and OSC at the same time and can control up to three mixers from different or the same manufacture at the same time. I have been using 2 Midas M32s at the same time for Musical Theater lately. So that is why I say it depends on what you want to do with the SQ6 or even the dLive. They like the dLive at church. They went from an Avid Profile surface with a house rack and 2 stage racks. But they had problems with the main processor card in it at least twice so they sold it off and got the dLive. They also bought and SQ6 for the youth room and an SQ5 to somehow incorporate in to the dLive for IEM monitor usage. I don’t know all of the details. I was lent the SQ6 to evaluate to see if it would be appropriate for a relatively small church where the Music Minister is unbelievable fussy. He is a very good musician. And I told the sound company that tasked me with that, that I didn’t think he would like it because of the illogical operation of the console. I also didn’t think it was capable enough for their needs. I hope this is of some help. [/QUOTE]
