FOH engineer Gabriel Cruz and monitor engineer JV Olivier, with the support of their local dealer Wholestage, chose the Waves eMotion LV1 Live Mixer for the Heat Latin Music Awards, an annual awards show airing on the HTV cable channel that honors the year's biggest Latin music acts.
The eMotion LV1 is perfect for bringing my studio sound to a live environment, Cruz says. It offers me plenty of routing and processing options, all at impressive 96 kHz sound. More than anything else, I'm really impressed by the LV1's superior sound quality. It has excellent preamps that let me drive them enough to get the color I am looking for in my final mix. Between that and the integrated workflow with Waves plugins, I can finally spend less time fixing problems and more time doing creative mixing.

The LV1's quick, easy setup is also most impressive. I have my LV1 installed directly in a Circle Three Designs case, which gives me a 3U rack space with one DSPRO StageGrid 1000 for local I/O, a Waves Axis One and a SoundGrid Extreme Server-C, all together in a low-weight, easy-to-deploy setup This makes the LV1 system extremely portable. At the end of the day, I have a world-class mixer in a 60 lbs Pelican 1637, which allows me to take my band and shows to another engineering level.
Configuration is quick and simple, Cruz adds. Since I have everything mounted, I can easily set up my scene before arriving to the venue and tune up quickly until I get to the desired levels. When it comes to networking, I have a Waves SoundGrid network sharing multiple SoundGrid devices, allowing us to have shared talkbacks, wedges and side-fills between two stage monitor mixers and one FOH, plus sharing to broadcast through MADI. The LV1 mixer saves time in soundchecks (monitoring wise) and enables me to easily tweak my mixes with a click at the channel section.
The full integration of Waves plugins within the LV1 is a major reason we decided to adopt the mixer. Waves plugins are a big part of the sound quality I can get with the LV1, Cruz says. The SSL G-Channel is my go-to channel strip: It provides me with filters and dynamics control such as gate, compression, EQ, input gain and output gain, and for me that is my starting point. If at that point it doesn't already sound great, that means I should check the source. I always use the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor on mix groups and as a first master chain. It gives me control over the peaks on group busses and the master bus. The NLS Non-Linear Summer plugin is excellent for drive and boosting certain elements, like drums routed individually to the NLS bus through a NLS Channel: kicks, snares, toms, hats and AIR,' each assigned internally through a group, with different drives in order to achieve what I need - PUNCHY AND FAT DRUMS!
On my master channel, Cruz continues, I use the Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain plugin. It has everything I need to give my mix that final touch: filters, EQ (M/S) and mid for boosting elements hidden in the mix, and sides to help deliver a much wider and defined stereo image. Lastly, there's the F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ, a great tool for cleaning up tight harmonics and frequencies that otherwise don't allow my channel to cut through the mix. For instance, drums tend to have too much resonance, and with the F6, I can cut through those dissonant frequencies in order to have my drum elements come out much tighter in the mix. Likewise, on vocals and effects (reverb, delay, chorus, doubler), the F6's Mid/Side option lets me clean up undesired frequencies in my mix.
The LV1's sound quality is a major draw, says monitor engineer Olivier. It just sounds amazing! The superior sound quality, the integrated plugin workflow, the ease of transportation and setup, and lots of flexibility with signal routing - they were all key factors in choosing this console. Being able to get such a great sound, with almost zero latency and minimum space and transportation requirements - this is of great value to me. I can take my stuff with me virtually everywhere and have it up and running by myself in minutes, with consistency day after day. Converters and preamps sound just right, and how many H-Reverbs is too many anyway?!
Waves plugins are an integral part of Olivier's workflow: The F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ and the C6 Multiband Compressor for fixing problems and shaping sounds are winners. Having the option to change attack and release times on each band is nice, and the m
