Of course you do. It’s a stunning console. It’s so good.

[mark.]

Great walkthrough. Glad to see it as I was interested i more detail after seeing it briefly in a previous video. Only thing else I'd like to have been included is overall cost of this particular setup. It helps people get an idea of what they're looking at if they want to go this route.

[erinadkins]

Can you go over the full start up and shut down process? It seems like a lot for volunteers.

[JackOwensMusic]

Another thing, for bigger churches, it would almost be worth it to have whole separate scene for ears to essentially create a completely separate mix for how musicians would want it to sound in their ears. As well as to have another completely separate mix going to broadcast and not just matrices or subgroups. Would this require 2 additional units? Just another stagebox? Or could you be running two separate scenes on separate computers on the same server?

[maisbaer]

Seeing the thumbnail, I firstly thought the chassis would be designed like a laptop. Oh I‘d like to see that!

[JackOwensMusic]

Love this whole system! The only thing I wouldn’t agree with here is the waves subscription. The plugins are so cheap and to keep churches from having to have another subscription they can’t keep track of

[wilyamouhn]

I like waves but I must say I’m not sold. It may be reliable on a Sunday Service today but long term with the software is a bit risky. Also you basically buy hardware to then either buying just a couple plugins lifetime or a yearly subscription which will make your hardware useless if you don’t continue to pay? 🤔
The price for value in an average church where you only get a new budget every 15 years at best, I’m a bit skeptical. Thank you for showing it though 👍🏻

[EderPr]

It sounds really good, QUESTION: how many stereo inears can we have with this system? And how is the i/o for this? I was in need to have at least 32 channels and 10 stereo inears + effects

[rmjhn]

Thanks for the video. Seriously considering this system. Any info on DAW integration for live multitrack recording in a church environment? Thanks!

[renodigitalservice]

Is this wave LV1 is replacing Ableton live!❤❤❤❤

[RionPhotography]

Just using superrack instead of changing your entire console only for the sake of using waves plugins is a much better use of resources unless you just have tens of thousands of dollars to blow. We have been using waves stuff for years and wondering when church “tech leaders” would figure out how good it is. It’s absolutely the way to go for making amateur volunteer teams sounding nearly professional.

[jonathansepik]

When is LV1 going to add crossfade to its scenes though?

[skyjayjw]

It's a cool flexibel console. Thanks for your video! Waves tune at the end of the channel?

[terrellclark]

I’m more curious about how well it would preform running the LV1 software on other hardware like a Mac or PC and if you can link multiple for more processing power like you can with the waves hardware.

[henryvanweeren]

But will the Waves system get the team members to practice and become more proficient at singing and playing their instruments?

[michaelprice]

What happened to the Behringer Wing that you loved so much??

[johniebeats]

"The day all brand companies figure out how to achieve 100 percent integration of software with hardware, like what Dlive has done with onboard autotune for their mixers, will be a game changer. These mixers will become as desirable as Apple gadgets with every new series.

With software companies, you're always on your toes when they release upgrades. You're constantly wondering if you can get the new version or if what you have might become discontinued. I hope that makes sense."

[rayok_zed]

Personally I've been trying to decide if a traditional digital mixer + waves is the way to go or full LV1. The mixer is cool and all, and i primarily use waves plugins but there has to be a reason other consoles are still sworn by.

[sethwengermusic]

Curious to why you run two instances of tuning for each vocal... You stack them?

[abelcubanoo]

The latency that create the plugins separate on each channel is not a problem?? I would like to learn how to deal when pluging add latency and how sync with the rest of channel…
