I have been using ME 1 personal mixers with an SQ 6 mixer for a couple of years and they are great. A super feature on the ME 1 is being able to save / recall individual mixes on the ME 1 so rotating musicians can recall the mix they created next time they play. Depending on your stage configuration the Distro hub for the ME 1 mixers simplifies cabling by providing Power Over Ethernet so you don't need power for each personal mixer.

@andygriffiths7230 3 ай бұрын

Also not sure if anyone knows but you can send stereo/ ganged inputs to me1's but going to the top of your I/O Window and pressing where it says the channel number & you can link 2 ch's together. Making it easy to send stereo guitars and keys down to your me1 & then controlling it with one fader rather than messing around with 2 faders and pan knobs

@samgonza1975 3 ай бұрын

Wait, that’s what groups are for…… on the ME-1 you can just group the guitars together as well. Say you have 2-3 guitars, and you want to be able to control all of them at the same time… put them in a group. In the group, adjust their panning, and volume levels to taste, and now you have a master “guitar” group.

@andygriffiths7230 3 ай бұрын

I’m just talking about stereo channels on your console if you want them to appear in your me1 as stereo rather than 2 mono channels

@samgonza1975 3 ай бұрын

Ohhh ok. Gotcha. That wasn’t a job or anything. Just thought you weren’t thinking of the group function. Personally I still like doing the individual channels into a group since it gives good control over panning. 👍

Been using super rack for over a year and have been wondering when more churches were going to figure it out. Board doesn’t even really matter that much - get super rack dialed in and you’re good to go. Get a high end board if you have money left over.

@acobra67 3 ай бұрын

We installed the new Avantis last year and I have to say it's such a great console. Work flow is easy to customize and we utilize the IP8 external controller that I keep my FX on so while I have all my inputs on the left screen, groups/DCA's on the right, my FX stays available on the IP8 so if my worship leader suddenly goes into a word I can quickly turn the FX down. I have been considering using the Waves for vocal processing, but was concerned about the added latency; how is it for this setup? is it anything noticeable?

How did you setup to receive the Tracks? Through Dante? I am currently testing it and it seems ok so far.

At 5:25, you say you can change the "tap point" on how the vocals hear themselves in their ears. Either with waves or without. How is this done? I've been using 2 vocal channels. One that is running through waves and the other one is a "dry" channel without waves, it has just eq comp. that I send to the vocalist iems. Thank you

@TheTimski72 3 ай бұрын

Great video! A couple of questions: 1. Do you map key changes for the waves tune with scenes on the Avantis or manually change on the fly? 2. With the waves card, does that eliminate latency with the the superrack and server configuration demonstrated? Gymatorium for the win!

@jf4828 3 ай бұрын

We have this exact setup and map key changes via midi automated from playback app that runs our tracks. I also have keys mapped on the local keyboard for on the fly changes…

@dustinthiessen 2 ай бұрын

with the waves card and server it will be lower latency than other methods, but it's still not, and never will be latency free

@kendrickadams5596 7 күн бұрын

⁠⁠@@jf4828this may be a dumb question but how did you route your local keyboard to be a "hot key" essentially?

@jf4828 7 күн бұрын

@@kendrickadams5596 So the computer keyboard keys can be mapped to make changes in Waves SuperRack application. We map snapshots to keyboard keys that are recalled. You can also map MIDI to snapshots in SuperRack so you could use a MIDI capable 88 key keyboard too :). You have to spend some time in SuperRack show and settings tab to get a handle on it but should be self explanatory once you see the settings…

Super rack is about $10K here in Australia. So, looking at $40K just for those things.

@micahmuth4256 3 ай бұрын

That's unfortunate. However State Side, Avantis is listed on sweetwater at $15K and $5K for the stage box. To that point the old analog desk that my former church had installed, 48 in 8 out with 8 sub groups and everyones favorite M. ran about $20K roughly 20 years ago. Plus the aviom system. So by today's prices the avantis is much, much cheaper. more i/o. better bang for the buck. Also, the Avantis Solo runs cheaper. You can get a solid mix with just the avantis and it's built in processing. or sq, or qu, or x32. superrack is nice for tuning vocals and doing extra stuff like stacking compressors. I personally prefer the f6 over the dyne8 but that's personal preference. I say all that to say it depends on the church and their budget and which way they are headed. I can't speak for these guys because i dont' know them. Just personal experience. This isn't a bad investment. The GLD at my other old church is still in use today. and it is over 10 years old. If waves is what you want to run with, you can hack in via m32c with a waves card and an s32, impact server and superrack for under $10k. or for a bit more that will break you into lv1 and you can use the m32 as a dedicated monitor desk. I did via gld to x32. never had an issue. There are ways around every situation. It's just a mater of being creative with what's been given. Remember the three men that were given money. one buried and didn't' do anything with it. and was dealt with severely.

@drefue 3 ай бұрын

The comment about the three men is absurd. That had nothing whatsoever to do with investing in top-of-the-line anything. This is a premier setup and not in the budget for most churches. However, if your budget does allow for gear like this, who wouldn’t enjoy working with such a system.
