Access Limits Control Question

(1/4) > >>

bcbeak:
Now that MyFader is here .. I am testing setting the access control for each connected device. I want to give each band member
access to their sub-mix but want to limit access to the LR mix.  From what I can tell .. the access control can only be set on each
device itself .. and not from the main ipad connected to the DL1608. Is this correct or should I be able to set each device access
from the main iPad?

sam.spoons:
Yes, unfortunately access control os set on the device (which makes it pretty useless really). I can't see me setting passwords on my bandmates iPhones, if they trust me to play with their iPhones I should probably trust them not to mess with the FOH  :facepalm:

ChiroVette:
Sam, the way I explained it to my bandmates, (and we'll see if this works out at the first gig I use all this new gear at) is that it isn't that I don't trust them with my equipment, but that the reason I am setting a password on their device that only I know is because I don't want them accidentally messing with the main mix. I do have one guy who subs for us on occasion (a rhythm guitarist) who is a talented mixer, and you know what? If he wants access to the mixer as well when he plays with us, I will give it to him. He knows a helluva lot more than I do about mixing.

However, when I explained the reason I will be locking them out of the majority of the mixer functions and ONLY giving them access to their monitor mix, they completely understood. Look, they don't want to be ANYWHERE NEAR the house mix or their fellow band member's monitor mixes. So what I told them had the virtue of being absolutely true. Because if someone thinks they are pushing faders for their own mix and ends up on the house mix, they could mess up a good mix or cause insane feedback. lol

pbhtrip:
I don't understand why everyone is so worried about this.  Why would the people in the band want to screw up the main mix or the other monitor mixes?  Of course they would not want to do this.  If you are even semi articulate then you should be able to explain to everyone how the system works and why they should lock out everything but their own mix on their device.   Surely the people you are working with can understand why right?

Jerrylee:
How about this issue. Set up myfader with restrictions, put in a password, done right? Close out the my fader app, restart, and restrictions and passwords are gone. I think RR made an observation similar to this. But he said uninstall and reinstall. You only need to exit the program and restart.
