- much faster population of user layers (maybe via internal patch)
- 2 sets of user keys (use one user key to toggle between them)
- separate user keys when using a second Fit controller
- make user keys global, so they are there when creating a new session, but make it possible to alter them and have different ones per scene
- when going “sends on fader” at least let me decide if the upper view changes to whatever mode (inputs, routing, channel,…) I was in to the sends view. I maybe want to work on the EQ while flipping to sends on faders.
Please make it possible to load a plugin but keep it bypassed.
Would love to be able to map the fader to a plugin - many of the channel strip plugins have a fader control, and sometimes I’d rather drive that from the physical fader than controlling the output level.
An “eMo Trim” plugin would also be nice - mappable to the fader, of course - to be able to lay out some plugins pre-fader and post-fader on a single channel.
Blacklisting plugins (for example such with a high latency) would be great.
The push & turn poti of the LV1 classic behaves very slow, like no acceleration is programmed into it.
Definitely needs improvement. Right now imho its barely usable as I need like 10 full turns to change a value from minimum to maximum.
Also, I wish for being able to chose what exactly to recall with templates (like only recall output patching and processing). So at least working with multiple bands at a small festival would be much easier.
If I set a talkback preset to a user button, I would like that button to immediately function as a talk button. For example:
-
Preset 1 assigned to Button 1, set so I talk only to IEM.
-
Preset 2 assigned to Button 2, set so I talk only to monitors on stage.
-
Preset 3 assigned to Main PA, so I can talk to the audience for announcements.
Then I would just press and hold the button to immediately talk to the selected destinations according to the preset.
Currently, I have to press the preset and then press talkback, which feels unnecessary.
Under UI settings → mixer window → display input meters/display output meters:
in my opinion thats really misleading. It should be called “pre processing meter/post processing meter”
- User assigned button to cue a specific channel (I could settle for cueing a specific matrix, but there are other options that include all channels so no reason not to allow it here). Ideally it would toggle between that cue and the previous one, or at least clear the cue when already cued.
This is what scenes are for, no? Templates are like a complete reset, so I wouldn’t ever use them during a festival, but a range of scenes with careful scopes or recall safes should get you from band to band easily (I assume by “small” festival you aren’t rerouting everything between acts, or having headliners use their own FoH, etc.). Save a “baseline” scene with nothing set and then you can load it to reset for each new band as they sound check.

On most modern mixers, I can set what parameter I want to recall for each channel via.the scope.
So for example on channel 1 I recall the gate and eq, on channel 2 I recall the patching and the compressor, on channel 3 I want to recall some send levels and the gain of the preamp.
Thats not possible with the LV1.
And furthermore, as I can’t recall scenes and change the plugins doing that, scope is even more useless.
I’ll be honest, that sounds like a massive pain to set up compared to just recalling all inserts or all sends. And no help to diagnose problems when you e.g. get the gate and EQ you wanted but end up with a different compressor on ch 1 than you had when you saved the settings.
But I came up through a “listen and adjust” style of mixing, so maybe I’m just less concerned about tweaking individual things on the fly than others - last festival I did was that style (didn’t have my LV1 at that time, so was on an M32).
(I guess I could see the use if your scene is only changing a single parameter on a single plugin at a time - I might consider something like that for “all auto tune plugins on/off” - but I’m inclined to think there are more reliable/less brainwork required ways to set that up.)
On the contrary. It takes a lot of thinking out of the equation.
Maybe if you have some time, take a look at the. A&H dLive or Avantis editor. You can see how extremely easy and still granular you can do your scope there.
Thw idea of having two mixers is fine. But in combination with a second screen it’s not well thought out.
I can only open the channel view in one of the screens.
So its not possible to use the second screen for let’s say the output section and the main screen for the channels and open the plugins on the respective screen.
For example on the main screen i have my channels 1-16 and when I want to edit a plugin it opens in.the main screen and on the second screen I have my Monitor 1-16 and when I open for example the GEQ on monitor 3 it opens the plugin on this second screen.
Also, please give us a second set of user buttons for the second screen.
Oh, and: Mix Twin also changes the screen on my Classic?
Jesus….
-Please add more Groups/Aux/Mon Bus, 8 of each minimum.
-Be able to send multiple Groups to a single Group. (kick group, tom group, overhead group to drum group)
You allready can send multiple groups to a single group.
Might already be in here somewhere, but would love to be able to link the output fader levels of the LR, Mono and Center tracks so that the Master fader controls them all together (relative to each other).
Yes, I can link them, but I can’t then set the Master fader to the link fader, which is the actual thing that I want - that last fader on every screen to control all three busses together.
So either an option to link Mono and Center levels to the LR level, or an option to set one of the Link channels as the Master fader.
(A poor substitute would be the ability to send LR post-fader to Mono and Center. It’d be better than nothing, but not the best. And I’m pretty sure I can fake it by using a sidechain into a plugin that lets me listen to the sidechain
But would much prefer the fader levels linked.)
