This means several things:• It means you have the sound quality you've come to expect from Waves, right there in your console's mix engine. It also means that you have pinpoint-precision control over your sound by running however many plugins you want from the console itself.• It means you have all the flexibility that software allows when it comes to operating your console quickly and easily, whether you are using multi-touch screens or any other control surface.• And it means that your console is 100% portable, helping you be 100% prepared in advance for your show.Control Your Sound with Pinpoint PrecisioneMotion LV1 gives you pristine audio quality and detailed control over your sound. This is a result of three advantages:The mixer has a 32-bit floating point mix engine that represents the pinnacle of Waves' accomplishments in the field of audio.• eMotion LV1's channel strip-its basic EQ, filters and dynamics processing-is provided by Waves eMo plugins that are optimized for live environments, with transparent sound, zero latency, and a user interface specifically designed for quick operation, clarity and efficiency.• Each of the mixer's channels has its own plugin rack, with room for 8 SoundGrid-compatible plugins. This means that nothing stands between your mixing console and your processors-all your plugins are now controlled directly from the mixer itself.Up to 64 channels, 8 plugins each - you do the math of the massive mixing possibilities open to you, and what they can do for your sound.Operate the Console Quickly & EasilyEvery aspect of the eMotion LV1 interface has been designed to meet your needs when it most counts. Here are just a few of the features that will make your life easier during the show:• The main mixer window gives you all the most important info you need at a glance - all channel inputs and parameters, routing, plugin inserts and more - with additional windows providing more detailed views.• Channel window for focused control of your plugins, including a Touch-and-Slide slider for quick & easy control of all plugin parameters.• Flexible control of your plugins racks - instantly switch the order of plugins within each rack, copy plugins and their presets from channel to channel, add hardware processors as external inserts on your plugin racks, and much more.• Support for up to four multi-touch screens, as well as diverse industry-standard control surfaces.• The exact same user-friendly interface, no matter which display or control device you are using.Take Your Mixer Anywhere - Always Be PreparedAll digital mixers with a software interface let you edit your sessions offline, without audio, when you're away from the live venue. eMotion LV1 goes one huge step further by letting you actually mix your sessions, with audio, no matter where you are.Here's how it works. To use eMotion LV1 with audio, you need to connect the PC or Mac running the mixer to SoundGrid-compatible devices - an audio interface and a server. But here's the beauty of it: these can be any computer, any SoundGrid interface, any SoundGrid server - not necessarily the ones you'll be using at the actual show. At the venue, your computer may be a desktop with large touchscreen monitors - but at home, you can use a small laptop or tablet. At the venue, you can take advantage of the SoundGrid network to connect any number of large interfaces with lots of I/O, as well as extra mixers, extra DAWs for playback and recording. You can also share stageboxes between multiple mixers used at FOH and monitors. But at home, in your hotel room, or on the tour bus, you can use as little as a small server and a compact, lightweight interface in order to mix.This means that you can always take your full mixing system - as many as 64 stereo channels, limitless processing - in a small carry-on bag or even a backpack. Run a pre-recorded audio session on the LV1, and work on your actual audio mix well ahead of the show - anytime, anyplace.Build a Super-SystemNeed to share your inputs with a monitor or broadcast engineer? Connect your LV1 mixers to the same network switch and share stageboxes between them. This means you can get your sources from the stage to multiple destinations at the same time, with separate gain control for each engineer and without having to split the signal with dedicated gear.
