iLive OneMix Version: V1.90 for iPad
OneMix is a cut down version of the iLive MixPad app that locks control to a
single Aux mix. Multiple iPads may be set up by the ‘Admin’ user to give
each musician customised personal monitor control via Wi-Fi connection to
iLive without the risk of affecting the other monitors or FOH main mix.
V1.90 is the first release of OneMix for iLive. It is compatible with iLive
systems running a version of V1.9 firmware.
OneMix features:

Requirements:
iPad with iOS5 or higher. Any iLive MixRack running firmware version V1.90
or higher, and with a suitable Wi-Fi router (wireless access point) connected
to one of the iLive NETWORK ports. The iLive firmware version maintenance
number does not need to be identical to the OneMix version, for example
OneMix V1.90 will run on iLive V1.91.
The number of OneMix sessions that can be connected depends on which
other control devices are connected. iLive can support up to 16
‘connections:
---- iLive Surface = 2 connections
---- Laptop Editor = 1 connection
---- iPad MixPad = 1 connection
---- iPad OneMix = 1 connection
---- iPhone Tweak = 1 connection
Connecting multiple iPads puts a heavy demand on the wireless router. Use
a professional grade router and position it carefully to ensure good wireless
signal strength at all the device locations.
Principles:
OneMix connects via Wi-Fi to the iLive MixRack and controls the chosen Aux
using a ‘virtual surface’ assigned on the iPad.
The User Logon screen shows User Profiles available within the iLive being
connected to. A password will need to be entered if set in the iLive profile.
Logging on as ‘Admin’ allows access to OneMix setup. Logging on as any
other profile disables access to OneMix layer setup (typical logon for the
musician).
The Admin user configures the OneMix session by choosing the Aux mix,
assigning the layout and setting the OneMix session name.

lower window and the Aux master first available processing tab open in the
upper window (Limiter if none enabled). Touch the tabs on the right to
navigate available layers. Tap a channel name to open its processing (if

Setting up OneMix:
Open the Setup view.
Assigning strips - Touch and drag items from the top into the lower window
to assign the strip layout. Drop the item over an existing strip to insert before
it. Drag and hold the item beyond the right side of the window to scroll and
assign it at the end of a full window. Blank spaces can be inserted between
channels.
‘My Mix’ layer settings - The chosen Aux master must be assigned to this
layer. Only one Aux can be assigned. The Aux master cannot be assigned
to any other layer. To change the Aux first remove it by dragging it out of the
layer. Other channels can also be assigned to this layer if required, for
example ‘mic split’ channels of the musician’s vocal and instrument. Up to 8
strips may be assigned to the ‘My Mix’ layer. The layer name cannot be
changed. Touch the Setup tool on the right of the ‘My Mix’ layer to open its
settings page. Touch the OneMix Name button to apply a session name with
up to 8 characters, for example the name of the musician. This name
appears at top left of the screen at all times. Touch the Channel Processing
buttons to enable or disable a combination of Gate, PEQ, GEQ and
Compressor for mix and channels assigned to the ‘My Mix’ layer. Mute and
Limiter are always available on this layer. Touch the Reset button to clear the
strip assignments for the layer.

Custom 1,2,3 layer settings - Up to 32 strips may be assigned to each of
these three layers. If no strips are assigned then the layer does not appear in
the CH or MIX operating views. Touch the Setup tool on the right of the layer.
Touch the layer Name button to apply a name with up to 6 characters to the
layer tab, for example ‘Me’ or ‘Other’. Touch the Channel Processing button
to enable or disable Mute, Gate, PEQ, GEQ and Compressor processing for
all channels assigned to that layer. Touch the Reset button to clear the strip
assignments and name for the layer.

Help – Open the Help tab to access this help information at any time.
Logoff - Touch to log off and return to the logon page, for example after the
Admin has changed settings and is ready to hand OneMix over to the
musician.
Managing passwords:
User Profiles are managed and stored in the iLive MixRack, not the iPad. To
protect the settings configured in OneMix set a password for the iLive Admin.
Other User Profiles already set in the iLive will be seen in the OneMix logon
screen. Their permissions do not affect OneMix but the musician can log on
to OneMix as an operator using any one of these. To prevent this you could
password protect these iLive User Profiles.
You could set an iLive User Profile called ‘OneMix’ or ‘My Monitor’ to make it
obvious to the musician which logon to use. To prevent unauthorised log on
you could apply a password to this profile and make it known to the
musicians.

Application tips:
Personal monitor control is best used with in-ear monitoring. Giving a
musician control of levels feeding a wedge speaker may risk feedback and is
generally avoided.
Apply a password to the iLive Admin user. Enable security on your wireless
router. You could avoid using a password for OneMix log on if the wireless
router has security and a password enabled. To fully protect your system
apply passwords to all iLive User Profiles. Remember to keep a log of all
passwords.
Apply a OneMix session name to identify which iPad should be allocated to
which musician. This could be the musician name or instrument location, for
example ‘Lucy’ or ‘Piano’.
Assign ‘mic split’ channels as ‘Me’ sources for the musician’s vocal and
instrument. Do this at the iLive by splitting one mic preamp to two channels,
one feeding the main FOH mix, the other the musician’s monitor. This gives
the musician full EQ and dynamics control without affecting the FOH mix and
can also be given a different name, for example ‘Me’.
Assign the musician’s split channels to the ‘My Mix’ layer. Insert blank
spaces to separate the inputs from the master strip. You can enable
processing for this layer as these channels do not affect the other mixes.
FX returns can be assigned as sources to the mix to let the musician add
some reverb or other effect mixed at the iLive. With up to 8FX available at the
iLive you could dedicated a few to key musicians. It is typical to add
ambience to in-ear monitors using a stereo channel fed from a couple
microphones on stage facing the audience.
Assign other sends to a Custom layer. Name this layer ‘Other’. Disable
processing for this layer as this will affect the sends to other mixes fed from
these channels.
To reduce the number of strips needed and keep things simple for the
musician you could assign a few Groups at the iLive and use these as
OneMix sources, for example Drums, Keys, Band, Choir.
Operate OneMix with the ‘My Mix’ layer open in the lower window and the
‘Other’ window open in the top. This means you can flip between CH and
MIX modes without the need to change layers. Access the enabled
processing and ‘Me’ levels in the CH view, and adjust the send levels of all
sources in the MIX view.
