Waves eMotion LV1 Mixing System | Worship Ministry Setup 

Nice overview! Thanks for sharing.

DREAM SETUP!!

This seems like a great solution for the Studio As well..

I'll love to learn more about this.

Thanks for this tutorial. Which touch screen are you using to control the Mac Mini?

I am definitely considering buying this for me to use personally.

I love this topic. Looking into upgrading a system that already has a networked building. I feel like this would be the best option to be future friendly for expansion. From my understanding would be simple to set up a second console in another room for mixing livestream. Do you know if you’d need a second server/cpu to run a second console?

sorry what kind of compute do you use for connect 4 displays ?? thanks

The real question is can you provide a tracklist for the background music? I really need know one of the songs.

What size and brand of touch monitors do you recommend? Do you use a additional iem and/or broadcast set-ups or does this handle all of that for you? Great video!

2:29 I'm pretty sure it's X32 control application. Do they offer SoundGrid extension card too? Or it's something unrelated?

Has anyone had experience with the phone/Ipad app "MyMono"? Its listed on their website as "Coming Soon" however I found it on the app store and was able to download and use it. I don't have an LV1 yet so haven't been able to see if it connects, but we are considering going with the LV1 so wanted to see if anyone else is using the app for monitor control?

It would be very valuable if you could show your system as a diagram and maybe a shopping list which shows all the components that you need to purchase in order to set-up an LV1! Thank you

“Let’s see that in action” *5 dropouts in 10 seconds*

Do you have to use more then 1 touch screen? can you move about the room with an IPad ( for obvious reasons)? and i'm assuming you have to use a windows machine to host it..............

How are you multitrack recording to the mac mini from the lv1 system? Is there an app like dante virtual soundcard for waves soundgrid?

How are the Dell Touchscreens holding up, as they use a plastic screen instead of glass?

What do you use for IEMs on stage? I haven't been able to find options for IEMs that work with the LV1.

Would love to hear your initial thoughts on the Behringer Wing!

what computer do you use for LV1 host computer ?

I checked and downloaded the Worship toolbox but there is no shopping list for this type of a system. Only descriptions. Is there something more specific? In other words: instead of saying: “Computer to run waves software” can it be “computer(with recommended OS and specs)” maybe even the computer you are using. How about recommended Touch Screen displays. Dante input box recommendations. Right now it’s fairly vague for us smaller churches. Thanks for the help!

What's on the Stream Deck?

What is the Brand of your monitor?

What servers did you use?

Which monitors are those?

Can you list individually all the parts in this setup? For purchasing help?

Thank you for showing some details on the system. In my church we're currently researching the next step after the X32 and of course all options are open. We do not own a venue though and channel capacity and flexibility are very important plus we don't want to upgrade every year but keep the system and expand it basically forever for multiple locations, midweek events in different locations.. through the last years we've been in more than 70 different venues. I don't really understand why you think the virtual soundcheck is the best feature, as even the X32 has the same feature just hidden in the routing menu (so you can't accidentaly push it) Questions: - Do you think the system is realistically mobile? I'm concerned about the handyness and durability. And reliability is so important! - What do you think about stuttering faders? I've been mixing on Ipads before and I didn't like these jumps of the faders as you move them that I also saw in this video. - It's not much cheaper than a desk, is it? Finances are a big factor in desk decisions. Else I'd pick Digico anytime. Stageboxes are a big part of the overall cost and the preamps dictate a lot of the quality.. so maybe in the end the system isn't even cheaper? - What are you using the stream deck for? Love that thing! Our Video operator is using it and I was thinking of getting it for triggereing playlists etc. in Qlab

hay where did you get the touch drivers for the mac ???

what monitor (IEM) system are you using?

You can edit the channel color. That was false info and since this was the only complaint you had on the system, you think like me, this is an awesome mixer!

As much as I’d like to be on board with this, I feel like I’d mis-click somewhere if my whole console were a touchscreen. I’ll stick to my hybrid option where the frequented functions (faders, mutes, etc...) are on a physical controller for now. I blame my fat fingers. :P

I see the SteamDeck on the right of the monitors. How do you use that in your setup?

What are you using the stream deck for?

does anyone know if this will work with a behringer stage box?

My church will be building soon and we will be upgrading our audio as well. What is the estimated cost of this setup including the monitors and Mac Mini?

What kind of Round Trip Latency (or latency in general) are you seeing from your input thru to FOH speakers with out any plugins. I am able to get 4ms with a USB connection RTL with my StudioLive mixer. Not great, but workable for "Zero" latency plugins. Also, I am guessing you are locked into Waves only?

Do you know how much roughly a full setup like this cost?

Thank you for the nice tour into your setup. For sure this is a system, which is stare of the art and very comfortable to use. It seems very high-tech and flexible. The infrastructure and network connectivity is awesome, like in the dante universe. The workflow with the plugins is very intuitive in this waves system. But there are some key elements, which I don't like at all. Having no physical knobs, buttons or faders is an absolute no go for me. I like to feel what I'm doing and not staring at the screens all the time. The visual focus should be at the stage, not at the displays. For me it's about feeling the music and the changes I have to do, not searching for the right position on a touch screen. In most digital mixing consoles the flexible and customisable fader assignment is also given, like demonstrated here. If I think about Yamaha QL Series or the Allen&Heath SQ Series, I whould prefer a "real" desk 100%.

"you'll need physical IO.." ah, that's a dmx splitter. hah

It is essentially a S.A.C. ( Software Audio Console ) system which is the name of the software that was created in the early 2000's and still available today. They sold a turnkey system not unlike this one and now just focus on the software only. The major difference here is that Waves offers proprietary hardware that makes interfacing and running the software more robust and powerful. The actual S.A.C software costs $500 for the 32 bit system and can run any VST, or DirectX plug-ins and can utilize Dante or Madi system for channel inputs and outputs. The Waves system, in other words, is not breaking new ground. Where it is a winner is likely the ease of system setup and reliability since the software and servers are dedicated proprietary machines.

Price ???

What are you guys using for in ears?

Having Waves native in your mixer is awesome. But the cost of this system is insane. For that kind of money, I don't want the human interface to be a cheap Dell monitor. The LV1 seems very complex, with way too many points of failure. You seem to like it, so I guess I shouldn't dump on it too much since I haven't mixed on one before. I noticed that you had the Behringer X32 software running on the mac. Do you use that for monitors?

Name of your church

i'll stick with my yamaha TF5 board. physical faders are to nice in my opinion. but its crazy to see whats coming out these days

This is like Raven

Ñame of the church?

Does this system give you anything other than purely mixing and a networked audio/control system? What does it give you over say an M32 with a Dante card for networking. Oh, other than plugins, I guess. But really, what is the benefit you get for that much more money? I've struggled with this for a long time, working in a church with a very small tech budget. How do you justify to your congregation spending this amount of money on a mixer? I'm honestly not asking this to be a troll. This is something I've always wondered about.

X32-Edit at 2:28?

That chest hair tho… 😂

jake u have a cost in general for this set up

wow, free waves account after purchasing for 100000 bucks !

I see way too many points of failure for many churches. You could realistically buy 2 x32s and 2 laptops for a little over half the cost of this rig and have a backup. I mean, monitors fail all the time and if you lose one piece of the network, all is down. The rig is awesome, but it just seems dangerous to rely on for a week in week out application at this point. I do think this will be the future though. (Giant 50”-60” Touch screen with a laptop to run plug ins and an io system)

Just remember, plugins add latency, which can throw off a PA that is time-aligned. Milliseconds matter in more than a Left/Right setup.

inexperienced volunteer: a slave! LOL

All that investment and plug-ins can't get round the lead vocalist being out of tune, sadly...

For the love of god just buy a real console
