Re: M20D wifi issue

support@line6.com — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:48:02 GMT

Hi,

I used the mixer at a gig yesterday, and I was having the same problem of the ipad not connecting to the mixer. I turned both the mixer off, and the ipad off, and started again. It worked, the ipad connected. It was still frustrating, as I was trying to mix a quick capture song, and it kept disconnecting, then reconnecting, which made it impossible to mix. I ended up ditching the ipad, and using the mixer instead. I have updated the mixer, which was now letting me select different wifi frequency connections, which I tried several, but still had the same issue.

Hi,

I will try that today, thanks. If that doesn't work, I will also try deleting the app, and downloading it again. It still doesn't answer why on the actual M20D, I couldn't swap network frequency's, it just kept reverting back to frequency 1?

The only other venue I've used it, is at my house, where we have 2 Marc's, iPhones and a home wifi network. My iPhone and the home network appear in the iPad's wifi options list when choosing a network. It works fine at home. At my brother's house, there are multiple wifi networks that show up on the ipad, but I chose the M20D, and a tick appeared next to the M20D's name, so it should have worked? I haven't tried it at any other venues, as we are a tribute band that gets paid a lot of money for a show, and I'm not taking it out till I can be confident that its gonna work how it's supposed to.

M20D wifi issue

Wifi connection problem

Hi,

I used the M20D at a party tonight, at my brothers house, it sounded great, but I couldn't get the ipad to connect to the mixer?

This is the second time I have had my PA at this location, and both times it hasn't worked.

The only other place I have used it is at at home, and it works fine, so I don't understand what is going on. This scares me as we have a gig next week, where we intend to use the M20D, but at the moment, the ipad connectivity is sitting at 50%, which is not good enough.

I plug the dongle in, then go to settings on the ipad, where I can see the M20D wifi, I select it, and it connects. I then go to the app, and try to connect, but the ipad sits in a state of searching for the connection, then says it can't connect, and suggests I move it closer the to mixer. The ipad couldn't get any closer to the mixer, it's virtually sitting on top of the mixer. I tried changing the connection frequency, in the drop down menue on the mixer, from number one, to any of the 12 options, but it continually reverted back to number one?

Does anyone have an answer to what is going on, as I am worried that we will get to this gig next week, where we need the ipad working, and it's going to fail on me again?

Regards,

Dazbec.

Pod HD500 used as an in ear monitor amp?

support@line6.com — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 06:02:38 GMT

Hi,

I have had my pod for quite awhile now, but I have never used it live, or with a bass. I updated the firmware which supplied me with the flip top bass amp, which I would like to try out live, but I really need routing advice for what I have in mind.

I recently joined an 80's tribute band which use no amps, and in ear monitors. I have never used in ear's before, and it has caused me no end of drama getting used to not having an amp on stage, or a foldback wedge.

Everything in this band is emulated, including the drums and cymbols, which, if you can get it right, is a great way to perform, and has many advantages.

I didn't start the band, I joined, so I am at the mercy of how they do things, which isn't always the way I would do it, but it's what I'm stuck with.

Right now my setup consists of,

Bass guitar, into a boss stomp box tuner (used for tuning, but also a kill switch for when I change basses), then into a line 6 m9, for octave, chorus, overdrive effects, whatever, then into a sansamp bass driver DI amp emulator, which is great, as I can setup different patches for different basses, so the final output level I send to the PA is the same no matter what bass I am using.

After my signal leaves the sansamp via the XLR out, there is a Y splitter, which sends one signal off to the PA, but also sends another signal to my Yamaha micro mixer. This mixer is used for in ear monitors, I mix my direct signal from the sansamp, with an aux send from the PA, to achieve the best in ear monitor mix I can. The reason I have to do it this way, is that's how they did it before I joined the band, and I've inherited this setup. It's not too bad, as I've noticed some their backing tracks move around in volume, so it's great to be able to turn my bass either up or down, depending on the volume I'm receiving from the aux send.

What I would like to do, is ditch all this gear, and just use the pod Hd500!

I've tested the flip top bass amp in the pod, and I can work with that. The pod seems to have plenty of in's and outs, so my question is this,

Can I setup the pod so that I can send my bass out to the PA via the XLR out, have an aux send from the PA coming in, either via the CD/MP3 in, the aux in, or the XLR mic in, and still be able to adjust the mix between the bass, and my aux send, but only send the bass out, and not a combination of the bass and my aux send? Also, can I have the ability to turn the volume of the headphone out, (where my in ear monitors would go) up or down as desired, without effecting the level of the bass signal I am sending out via the XLR out, to the PA?

I hope my question makes sense, I just read it, and it seems a little confusing, even to me, and I wrote it.

Maybe an easier way to explain it is, I need to mix 2 signals, but only send 1 out, and that signal going out needs to stay at full volume, even when I adjust my headphone out level.

I have no idea if this can be done, but if somebody out there does, could they please let me know how?

Regards,

Dazbec.

I would like to see some permissions in the iPad app, like how presonus do it with their studio live. I've got two guys in the band who are duds when it comes to technology, and are constantly stuffing up the mix because they end up in the wrong area on the iPad. Also, an iPhone app just like the presonus would be great too. I love my m20d, but as far as apps go, you are dragging the chain. Please see what you can do in this area.

pod farm question

support@line6.com — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:08:17 GMT

hi,

over the years i've bought a podxt, x3, and now the hd500. Should I be able to use pod farm with these units without purchasing it?

regards,

Darren.
