| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: That's amazing. I'm in love with it already. | 02:57 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | The actual foldback buses and foldback sends, I put in almost a year ago now. They have always been accessable from OSC but not from the GUI. I realized that before 6.0 was released I should make a GUI. SOme people have just used aux sends and buses before | 03:08 |
| OvenWerks | but the aux sends quickly fill up the processor box and it becomes hard to find the actual processors like eq and comp and stuff. Then there are the extra buses | 03:09 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: so all the sends are hidden in channels and there is a special foldback strip that shows one at a time of the foldback buses with the send level that feed it. | 03:11 |
| Eickmeyer | Oh, that's really cool. Definitely keeps the strip clutter down, if that's the case. | 03:12 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/Xqm4gLy.png | 03:12 |
| OvenWerks | The show sends still allows the faders of the strips where the sends are really located to be used to set levels. | 03:13 |
| OvenWerks | One can select all the channels they want to go to a fold back and then add them with one click. | 03:14 |
| Eickmeyer | So, basically, it can be used as a full-fledged monitor mixer now with multiple monitor sends while keeping down the clutter. | 03:14 |
| Eickmeyer | As opposed to only having one monitor send. | 03:14 |
| OvenWerks | as a starting point for mixing the aux they can all be set to the same level as the fader too. | 03:15 |
| Eickmeyer | That's stinkin' awesome. Great work! | 03:15 |
| OvenWerks | Yes it is meant specifically for performance monitors for the artists | 03:15 |
| OvenWerks | With a wifi hub it is possible for the artists to control their own levels from their smart phone | 03:16 |
| OvenWerks | using osc which is where the whole thing started | 03:16 |
| OvenWerks | The foldback bus can be optionally stereo so the performaer can have their own voice in one ear and everything else in the other. | 03:18 |
| Eickmeyer | Yep. Behringer has some apps for this very thing, but I think they're proprietary and not OSC. | 03:18 |
| OvenWerks | where you see the send labels, on stereo foldbacks there is a pan to the right | 03:18 |
| Eickmeyer | Though, there's others. | 03:19 |
| OvenWerks | actually behringer is quite open about the protocol, oen can use either MIDI or OSC | 03:19 |
| OvenWerks | soundcraft has similar and so does A & H | 03:20 |
| OvenWerks | The hard part for me was the send button/led/level/pan icon. | 03:22 |
| OvenWerks | remote monitor control is so simple to implement, I don't know why anyone wouldn't add it to their digital mixer | 03:23 |
| OvenWerks | anyway, still lots of work to do. There are some bugs and my method of dealing with long chanel names is not the best. It needs to be hidable and detachable still | 03:27 |
| OvenWerks | I am just thinking that if it is detached... it may as well be like the mixer window and show all the foldback strips at once (well within the window size limits of course) | 03:28 |
| Eickmeyer | I agree, Behringer is very open. Their consoles run Linux, but Ultranet is proprietary. | 03:30 |
| OvenWerks | The audio transport is yes. | 03:38 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: I actually have an OSC document for the X32 | 03:42 |
| OvenWerks | Two actually, an official one and an unofficial one :) | 03:44 |
| Eickmeyer | Oh cool! I had no idea they had OSC going on. | 03:46 |
| OvenWerks | http://www.ovenwerks.net/paste/X32_OSC_Remote_Protocol.pdf | 03:48 |
| OvenWerks | and http://www.ovenwerks.net/paste/X32-OSC.pdf | 03:48 |
| OvenWerks | I DL both from their website | 03:49 |
| OvenWerks | They take a bit of reading to figure out and the commands are all multi parameter so something like touchOSC will not work... | 03:50 |
| OvenWerks | Maybe enough things are for monitor control but feedback could be difficult | 03:51 |
| OvenWerks | meters get sent as a bundle, all or nothing | 03:52 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: if you are interested in those docs, you should grab them | 03:55 |
| OvenWerks | They will be gone soon as you do. | 03:55 |
| Eickmeyer | I might, but I don't really deal with the X-series anymore. | 03:55 |
| Eickmeyer | Though, probably not a bad idea. | 03:55 |
| OvenWerks | Well they should probably still be on their website... it seems I have to look harder for them every time. | 03:56 |
