Step 2 – Load a ‘Template Show’ as a starting point
The iLive has a fully configurable audio architecture and control layout and socket patching letting you customise the way you work. It would be a daunting task for the new user if we gave them a ‘blank canvas’ to start from scratch. Instead we have provided a set of ‘Template’ Show memories which give you a choice of classic console format to load in as a quick starting point. These emulate the familiar architecture and logical layout of well equipped analogue consoles. Once you are comfortable working with iLive you can make changes to your set up and save these as your own ‘User’ Shows.
A default show is already loaded when the iLive is shipped from the factory. This is FOH_LRSub.
Details of the layout and patching of this show are presented on the rear cover of this guide.
FOH_LR Standard stereo main mix with LR master faders and channel Pan.
FOH_LRSub Stereo with separate Sub mix quickly accessible on each channel using a shifted rotary function.
FOH_LCR Conventional LCR panning - left through centre to right.
FOH_LCRplus LCR image control with Pan and Blend (LR to C) controls. Similar to the Allen & Heath ML Series consoles.
MON_12m2st 12 mono + 2 stereo mixes plus Wedge/IEM monitor.
MON_8m6st 8 mono + 6 stereo mixes plus Wedge/IEM monitor.
SLAVE_FOH_LRSub FOH mixer receiving its inputs from the monitor console via a digital audio network.
SLAVE_MON_8m8st Monitor mixer receiving its inputs from the FOH console via a digital audio network.
Note: Recalling a Show overwrites all the system settings including the DSP mix architecture, Surface configuration, current parameters, all the Scene and Library memories. If you want to keep the current configuration make sure you archive it as a User Show before recalling the new Show.
Template Shows available:
FOH These make a good starting point for general purpose live mixing whether FOH only or mixing monitors from FOH. They provide a classic Group / Aux / Mains / Matrix bus architecture and differ only in the type of main mix configured.
MON These recall a format and layout suitable for dedicated monitor mixing, with a combination of mono and stereo auxes and engineer’s dual Wedge/IEM monitor.
SLAVE Use these when the system gets its inputs from a ‘master’ console via a digital mic split such as Ace or EtherSound.
Load a Template Show
Press the UTILITY key below the TouchScreen - UTILITY / Configuration / Show Manager. Highlight the Templates item. Touch the + button to expand the tree. Select a show from the list and touch Recall. A show takes around 2 minutes to load depending on the amount of data stored.
Recall the layout for your Surface
When the recall has finished, a 'Hello' message is displayed on the strips. This is to remind you to load a Scene to match your iLive model. The Scene recalls the strip layout for your Surface size and configures the output patching for either the standard iLive or the T Series. Press the SCENES key below the TouchScreen - SCENES / (Surface name) / Recall Scene
Customise and save your settings
You may wish to make changes to the configuration and save the new settings as a User Show. Before you do this we suggest you Delete Scene 1 - 14 to clear them ready for your own application.
