Now when the guest engineer asks – how do I get to the Aux’s? the answer is simple – press the button marked Aux and so….(and is the same on every desk) I’m sure some people would not be happy with this – 4 fixed and 4 user buttons when they now have 8 … so under user preferences allow an option of having 4x fixed + 4x user … or 8 x user buttons. The same for DCA’s, Groups, & EFX’s.ĪH could provide owners with a sticker to label these permanently. Press button 1 and you would have the first 8 Aux’s appear on the top layer of the designated “control” faders, then the next 8 on the next layer etc. Perhaps AH could assign the first 4 user buttons as – I just want to be able to walk up to a iLive be able to use it no matter how badly it’s been configured … That not to suggest that I want to reduce or restrict its flexibility.

So that every iLive is similar, no matter who’s iLive you use. I would like to see a fixed standard configuration to access some of the main functions…. In comparison, every time they use a Yamaha or Avid it’s the same.

This makes the initial experience confusing for a guest or festival engineer … and its first impressions that count. Every time they encounter an iLive it’s been set up differently, sometimes good, sometimes not. I think part of the reason is that every guest engineer’s experience with an iLive is different. I love my iLive, but I am still struggling with rider acceptance issues.
