Much better than the laptop screen which is virtually useless outside. The LED monitor works 1920 x 1080 and is really great on outdoor gigs, as it is clear and bright thanks to it being LED. The resolution on the laptop is only1360X768. I can drag it to be longer on the screen and can see 19 channels at a time as opposed to 13 on the laptop screen. This allows me to expand the desktop view of the UC software. Sjc193, I'm using an LED Monitor FOH that takes the signal from the laptop via HDMI. Very helpful to watch another user go thru it and point out likes and dislikes I have viewed your videos in the past, and just wanted to say thank you for an in-depth look at the daw, touch screen, pros and cons. We use wireless in-ears, and moving router to front of stage eliminated interference between the two. The router is placed high on the front of the stage. The laptop on the stage is pluged via firewire and cat5 to the router. Wahlerstudios, we still carry the old legacy 24.4.2 with us as a backup if the rm32 fails. Sometimes I use a second iPad with just RTA for control or I add another RM at FOH, which lets me use Smaart mini again - there are some workarounds, but the best would be the revival of RTA in any UC Surface! Times have changed and now our mobile tools need RTA. PreSonus was an innovative pioneer in the MI market and firewire was the best way to go. When PreSonus introduced Smaart mini years ago, there was nearly no competition around. Nowadays there are several RTA's available for computers or mobile devices.
I don't need that at all, because my PA is "musically flat" and RTA or Spectograph on mains show what might need to be corrected. Tuning a system is a totally different thing.
A RTA working "behind" the equalizer helps me to precisely get the speech right (acoustically, I mean.). You see what is happening and you know, what is to do! To me this is a great help especially in acoustically critical situations like a speaker in an old church with lots of reflections aka reverb in the building. (which is a good way to go).īut what we (I include myself) as live engineers really need and what makes Smaart or its alternatives interesting, is the combination of EQ and RTA on any (!) input and output channel. It is meant to be tasty in order to make you buy the real product.

I agree, Smaart is the real thing for professional use and what comes with the SL and RM boards is indeed a very reduced version of Smaart.
#SMAART V8 VS SMAART DI PC#
I am able to run smaart and get the RTA and spectrometer for every channel on my iPad by logging into my rack mount PC (firewired to RM) with splash top a Remote Desktop type program, works awesome! And I have it completely remote and can use it anywhere! These are all questions that only Presonus knows the answer to.
#SMAART V8 VS SMAART DI CODE#
These are actually Smaart features and I believe most of the code was actually written by rational acoustics engineers, in order to port that code over to the RM, they would probably need to bring the RA engineers in to make it happen which would cost money and the other question is if there is even enough processing power in the RM to accomplish it.
#SMAART V8 VS SMAART DI MAC#
The code actually runs on the PC or Mac that is firewired to the RM and the code is embedded in the UC Surface app itself, reading the channel information coming through the FireWire to analyze it. First off, I agree 100% that this needs to be done, the RTA and spectrometers are sweet!īut! I don't think that any of that code is currently running inside of the RM unit itself and that's why they can't just send the info from the rm to iPad or other remote device.
