Connect to the vpn with a wifi touch or iphone and have a menu system for access to things like osc on/off and assign, output geq and peq access, adjust all aux sends via rows of mini faders mimmicing flip mode(great for one man sound crews). snapshot recalls, console lock...the beat goes on...
Implement 32 Auxiliary busses on existing D-Show systems...
two video monitors to view Plugins and Inputs
Since too trace was removed from plug in list,we need some fast way to check the fase and more with sound system , than i think its a good idea if a VENUE comes
with SMAART ,ALL IN ONE!!!!!!
What do you thinking about?
Parametric eq on all outputs instead of having to use plug ins.
It would be great if there was a quick way to import only certain parts of one show file into another show. Similar to the "Import Session Data" in Pro Tools. When going to a venue that may have complex output routing, patching, processing, etc, it would be great to just import my input channels and leave all of their output stuff alone.
lets say I like to double patch a guitar to 2 channels, pan one channel left, pan the other right, use the faders to pan guitar, easy to center with faders eq (and if lucky the sum is perfect for boosting that solo). Gain is linked since it's the same head amp, but all other channel settings are not. or using 2 mono groups as a stereo group and wanting the eq's to be linked or multiple outputs to the pa that you want ...more »

or using 2 mono groups as a stereo group and wanting the eq's to be linked
or multiple outputs to the pa that you want to link all the eq's for
or link the comp on you mix bus with the comp on your aux send (or matrix) to the subs.
Don't like the sound of the thing, but the linkable eq's and comps on the PM5D can be very useful.

It would be nice if you could have a visual representation of your tempo somewhere on the console. I think it would be great to have a function switch flash at the tempo you tap, especially if you're using a function switch as a tap tempo.
Password on lock screen. Had a few shows that i was a little uncomfortable walking away from the console. Had other bands and techs on stage while i was away.
I have become used to having everything stretched on my 16:9 monitor that now, 4:3 actually looks funny. However, it would be nice if there was a way to either use the additional real-estate or just clean up the video a little bit.
Right now when you target a snapshot with scoped channels that have different fader positions from the current fader positions, the target fader positions are shown in bright red. It would be more useful to monitor applications if when in Filp to Faders mode the Selected Mix (Aux, Group) fader positions were shown on the screen. This also carries over to the "Inputs" view. Right now Effective gain (VCA contribution) ...more »

This also carries over to the "Inputs" view. Right now Effective gain (VCA contribution) is shown in the on-screen fader displays (inputs page). It would be great if the "inputs" page gave Aux fader level along with VCA contripution when in Flip to Faders mode.

Ability to reverse only the left or right channel of a stereo channel. Me apologizing errors. I do not speak English. I am using a translator. I hope you understand.
It would be great if the inputs from the 2nd Stage Rack were numbered 49-96.
i would like to have a seperate level control for my in ear monitor than my wedges monitors while mixing on a stage with both in ears and wedges
if you have only one conselo for FOH and monitors!
very often i miss the HPF/LPF in the FX Returns. Would be cool to switch from shelving to HPF. and the high band to LPF.
I can't use the master fader in my console setup because I'm using an aux sub-drive. If I adjust the master fader on the console, the balance between my tops and my subs gets thrown out of whack.
It would be great if there was a way to assign additional output busses to be controlled by the master fader so that I could control my sub drive along with my tops.
When in flip mode allow encoders to work as gain, hipass, pan etc... without effecting faders.
Currently this button has no point... we run out of input channels on Bank C as we all know. So Sheldon, could you please think about turning this into a Custom Bank for us? I know we can have VCA spill to achieve similar results, but I'm dreaming of a Custom Bank that could have not only channel faders and FX returns on the faders but anything else as well. Like delay send as fader next to my lead vocals, plugin control ...more »

Fader Grups, I would very much like to see these as well... let me explain... I run out of VCA's bretty quick. If we had Fader Grups we could make a grup of selected faders on our main Bank and then if I bring one member of that bank to the Custom Bank layer I could control the level of all these faders at the same time.
For example I could have my 14 channel drumkit under just 4 faders - Kicks, Snares, Toms, Overheads. It's kind of waste to run 4 VCA's for this.

I would like to see a "Lock" feature, similar to locking a snapshot, where the show files are located. Every week I load a show template I've created, make my adjustments, then re-save as a new show. But it's too easy, when I'm working fast or when someone else is mixing for me, to overwrite the template on accident. If I had the ability to lock the template file, then at that point my only option would be to save ...more »

If I had the ability to lock the template file, then at that point my only option would be to save a new show with the current settings. This would be very useful in a church or club environment where every show starts with the same patchbay setup and/or console layout.

It would be cool if there was a way to link the onboard graphic EQ's. I'm typically running in an LCR configuration, and it would be nice to be able to link an EQ on the C Bus to the L/R Bus. This could also come in handy linking EQ's across multiple busses such as a couple of auxes or matrices.
8 mic pre amps in the foh rack would be very useful, for director,ambient mics,di boxes for the video guys audio feed...you get the picture
Loading show files during a show might sound strange, but some engineers get bored sometimes and start digging around and then...oops.
