Changelog
What changed, version by version. Now on v1.19.1.
Each ship gets a new version number. Nightly builds come from the request board and ship only when every check passes. Research entries track groundwork for what comes next.
Request board back
- The Requests page is back. Post and vote on ideas; builds stay on pause until next week.
- Desk pages show requests and votes again.
Request board removed
- The Requests page and the request board are gone. Old /requests links go to the home page.
- Header, footer and the desk pages no longer show requests or votes.
On pause until next week
- New features are on pause until next week. Everything still works, and requests and votes stay open.
Move a DiGiCo session to another console
- DiGiCo: click the console name above the strips to move any open session to another SD or Quantum console or software version.
- Your channels, processing, sends, routing, control groups, matrix, FX and patch come along, as one change you can undo.
- A report says what the new console cannot hold, like Mustard on an SD. Sessions with snapshots cannot be moved yet.
dLive FX sends come out unmuted
- dLive: the FX sends a build sets up now come out unmuted at 0 dB. Before, the factory template left them muted.
- dLive: the FX page shows each FX send master, with its mute and level, and you can change them.
- dLive: a Distressor ratio reads the way Director shows it. The requests page names all four desks.
Desk tabs: one show, every desk
- DiGiCo, dLive, Yamaha and S6L sit in the header on every page. With a show open, click one to bring your show to that desk.
- Names, faders, preamps, filters, EQ, dynamics, sends and FX carry where a desk can hold them. Each desk keeps its own settings.
- Also: Start over in the header, one sample band on every desk, the DiGiCo FX library, dLive stereo patch pairs, comp models and Dyn8.
Steadier DiGiCo panels, cleaner input lists
- DiGiCo: a channel's pop-up keeps one size on every tab, and so does the phone panel above the faders.
- Input lists: card labels like "32-Bit Input Card 1" are no longer channels, so L/R pairs stay together.
- Input lists: the OUTPUT section of a list is no longer read as input channels.
Yamaha and S6L desks: open, change and build shows
- New Yamaha desk: CL, QL, DM7, DM5, DM3 and TF files open in the browser. CL, QL and DM7 shows can be changed, and built from a list.
- New S6L desk: VENUE shows open with every plug-in rack. Names, faders, colours and slot clears work on 8.2 E6L-192 shows with no snapshots.
- Each edit went live only after a file we wrote loaded in the Yamaha editor or VENUE 8.2 Standalone with every value matching.
dLive looks like Director; DiGiCo Grid groups and inserts
- dLive looks like Director now: the frame, fader strips, Processing, I/O, Scenes, Mix and phone layout, on the same edits.
- DiGiCo Grid keeps the console header with Grid lit, adds a Groups card, and assigns insert A/B, proven in DiGiCo's editors.
DiGiCo Session Converter
- The converter page opens a session straight into For older software. SD & Q Convert can't go back to older software; this can.
Dynamics pop-up says Mustard or SD
- On Quantum consoles the Dynamics pop-up shows whether it holds the Mustard or the SD processing, with a switch between them.
EQ boxes line up
- The value boxes under each EQ band sit on one line under their knobs, in the console view and the pop-up, and stay inside the band.
Input paths: sessions stay inside what each console allows
- Sessions now count input paths like the console does: a stereo channel takes 2. A build or edit past the limit says what to change.
- SD12-96 joins the console list, and SD12-96 shows open with 96 paths. A show already over its limit still opens, with a warning.
- Limits were read from DiGiCo offline editors at every version from V1455 to V2242.
Start over from the Drop it step
- With a session open, click Drop it at the top to start over. It asks first, and says if your changes are only in the download.
One DiGiCo page, and converting to older software up front
- The separate converter page is gone. Its address now opens the DiGiCo Session Maker.
- The home page shows converting a session to older software: a link at the top, a feature card and its own section.
Input lists dropped on the New sheet build right away
- Dropping an input list while the New sheet is open now starts the build, instead of a warning asking for a file.
DiGiCo Session Converter page
- New DiGiCo Session Converter page: convert a .ses to older software, V2232 back to V1455, right in the browser.
- The DiGiCo FAQ now says how to open a newer session on an older console, instead of saying it can't be done.
Research: groundwork for Yamaha, Avid S6L and Session Structure
- Yamaha: how CL, QL, DM7, DM3, TF and RIVAGE show files are built, and what each offline editor looks like.
- Avid S6L: how VENUE show files hold channels, snapshots and plug-in settings, and why plug-ins can't be set offline today.
- DiGiCo: how the Session Structure panel works in the real editor, to build a matching panel here.
Double-click strip sections, instant flatten EQ
- Double-click any part of a DiGiCo strip to open that section in a pop-up, like on the desk. The overview above the strips starts folded.
- Typing "flatten all EQ" or "all EQ off" changes every channel at once, and typed changes that need a second read answer faster.
- The request board now says bug reports go there too, and what to put in one.
Live request board
- New requests and votes show up on the board within a few seconds, no refresh needed.
- After you send a request, the board scrolls to it and highlights it.
Separate analytics
- The site now reports to its own analytics property.
Sessions for older DiGiCo software
- For older software, next to Download, writes your session for an older DiGiCo version, from V2232 back to V1455.
- A short report lists what was kept, changed or lost, or says in plain words why a version can't take the session.
- Open the file in that version's offline editor and save it there before it goes on a console.
Requested on the board (#6, 7 votes)
Big asks get built
- Big asks are now normal requests. Each night a team of agents builds the top one and ships what passes every check.
Clear requests get through
- Short, clear requests are no longer turned down for repeating your own words.
Usage stats for launch
- The site now counts opens, builds, downloads, sign-ups, requests, votes and GitHub clicks, with no personal data.
Open source on GitHub
- The notes and scripts behind both tools are open source on GitHub, linked from the header, the footer and under each tool.
A second look for turned-down requests
- Requests about the tools own AI features now get through: any turn-down gets a second look from a stronger model first.
Your session comes back, and big ideas are welcome
- Coming back to the tool now reopens your last session, and the site says plainly it is for fun and used at your own risk.
- Requests are read more generously now, and broad asks go on the board as big ideas.
- Requests turned down as vague or off topic no longer use up one of your 3 a day.
3 requests a day
- You get 3 requests a day now, reset at midnight Central. A turned-down request counts toward the 3.
- Vote for as many requests as you like, once each. The 7-day lockout is gone.
Big ideas on the request board
- Big asks, like support for another console brand, now go on the board as big ideas you can vote for instead of being turned down.
- The request rules now take anything about live sound, mixing consoles or show files.
Feature requests and changelog
- Ask for a feature on the requests page and vote for the ones you want.
- Each night the top request is built, tested and shipped only if every check passes.
- This page lists every version and what changed.
DiGiCo and dLive show makers
- Build or open a DiGiCo session in the browser for 16 desks and every software version from V1455 to V2242, then download the .ses.
- Build or open an Allen & Heath dLive show for every S, C and CTi surface and DM or CDM rack; downloads pass the show checker.
- Start from an input list or a few words, edit on a console-style surface, and check each typed change on a card before it applies.
