LV1 Crossfade ASAP

LV1 crossfade faders, pans, and basic console parameters as scope options between snapshots. This is a basic function of many standard consoles today.

1000% we HAVE to have this ASAP. Snapshots are so much less useful when everything just snaps instantly to the updates values. There needs to be an option for a few seconds of crossfade time in order to smooth out transitions between snapshots.

100% agree. It’s a must. Yamaha DM1000 from thousands of years ago can do it - why can’t LV1? I get it - they’re working on all kinds of things. But it would turn LV1 from a non-option to a no-brainer for a lot of people.

Just a friendly reminder to our friends at Waves that this is a must; many of us are out here mixing on LV1 every day, dying to get this feature so many cheaper consoles have. Even just a tip of the hat from the devs that it’s in the works would be fantastic. It’s insane that you can pay $10k on an LV1 rig and not have scene fading, but have it by default on a $2500 Yamaha TF. Not trying to whine about it. Just trying to keep the wheel squeaky.

I’m demoing the software currently and testing it with Dante virtual soundcard and was perplexed to find this wasn’t a feature. PLEASE add this. I would love to be able to use the LV1 for broadcast mixing and not having the option to at least have fades may be a deal breaker.

Right? It’s wild that this isn’t a feature yet. We need this ASAP. Especially for those of us running complex shows or broadcast.
This would be an absolute game changer to be able to do this.

It’s perplexing for sure. Even if it was just fader/send levels. It would turn LV1 from a non-option to a no-brainer for so many contexts.

Just reminding everyone that we still desperately need this feature! Let’s make it happen, Waves!

Guys… licensing this software costs $2k… surely you can prioritize doing some dev on this?? Or even simply respond on your forums?

As a former waves LV1 user from 2020 I have no doubt that waves is aware of people wanting the cross fading feature and they have known this for a very long time.
Now with waves introducing the LV1 classic mixing console my interest in LV1 has been rekindled slightly. I currently mix on a 2005 Yamaha M7CL which CAN cross fade between scenes So my thought was to use LV1 classic as a monitor console, and for hosting all of the waves plug-ins. We could route all of our sources to the 10 stereo in-ear monitor mixes our church needs, plus matrixes to send them to the rest of the building. Then take those sources post Waves processing but pre-fader and send them to the M7CL.
Essentially using LV1 for superrack Plus, monitor mixing and maybe even use it for our live stream.
I’m curious to know how other LV1 Users are working around the lack of Cross fading.

So, I get around this issues by using DCA’s to manually fade groups of instruments. It’s massively inconvenient, but it does create more smooth transitions.

Still mind blowing to me that we don’t have this yet. It’s very frustrating to have such a heavily requested feature met with absolute silence from Waves.

Please implement ASAP! It’s been years and no movement on this…

Please. Now it’s time to do something with this. I’ll still using my old Avid S3L-X because of the lack of this.

I recognize that this might mean that you have to lock your plugins in order for this to work and possibly only the emo plugins allow fade between as a start. For the most part fader/send movement and mute/dca assignment is a good start.

This feature is very much needed to make the LV1 or LV1 Classic a competitive console on the market. Digico, Avid, Allen & Heath, Yamaha and others all do this. Even if it is just on fader and pan changes, this would make the scenes useful.
