multipurpose room . When events take place in those rooms , anyone who runs sound in any of our venues will be able to take care of business whether that ’ s setting up or making changes to the system based on what it ’ s being used for any particular event .
We had some good questions and interaction with the team when Dennie was working on the dLive . One of the features that got a lot of reaction is that of being able to copy and paste different parameters within each channel just like we use copy / paste on a computer . It ’ s amazing to have the ability to select a channel , hold copy , touch the EQ or the compressor , the effects , or all of it and then select the channel we want to paste that parameter to … hold paste and touch the channel … done .
If you ’ re anywhere close to my age , you learned to mix on an analog board . I recall switching to digital around 2006 or so . Oh , it was cool , but often it seemed that making changes or initializing settings were more detailed than getting into the hidden “ library ” folder in my MacBook . Hold this button , click here , scroll down , select a folder , realize you selected the wrong folder , try to back up , go too far , click the folder you wanted , find that you accidentally dragged it into a different folder but you ’ re not sure which one … anyone else ever done this ?
So , it goes without saying that the intuitiveness of the Allen & Heath Ecosystem is such a welcome idea . It ’ s fun to sit at a board and actually get to make things sound better rather than to just try to make them work .
Simple features that I would highlight are the ability to easily setup quick layers on the board for special events and the ability to PAFL specific layers of a channel . Check out the video here … setting up a layer , say for a funeral , is a simple drag and drop to give access to the specific needs all on one layer rather than spread out all over the board . As for the PAFL listen ability … I ’ ve never seen this on another board … Select a channel , hold the listen button , and you can quickly and easily evaluate the specific details of a channel .
