Everse 8 software integration

DNB

I’m struggling to integrate Stagetraxx with my EV Everse 8 system. I just need to route a mono mix to the Everse mixer controller on my ipad (left of stereo song output) and a click (right of stereo song output) to my ipad headphone out put so I can connect it to a single in-ear monitor. When I connect to the headphone via lightening dac, the audio to the Everse app stops. I thought maybe Audiobus might help with dealing with ios audio routing, but it doesn’t see the Everse app nor Stagetraxx. Stumped! I’ve looked at some simple interfaces, but they seem to just have hardware outputs. It should all be doable in software, anyway. Thanks for your help.

Why not just use the headphone output and connect one side to the ev system and the other to your inear?

iOS can only use one audio output. So if you connect a lightning audio adapter, it will always use that exclusively. You could use a usb audio interface via lightning to usb adapter and then you could also use the "Combine Headphone" option which would allow you to route tracks to headphones and the interface. But I don't see an advantage when you only want to run a mono mix. Just keep it simple.

Thank you! I was hoping to keep the Everse 8 software in the loop and connect to the speaker wirelessly-one of the reasons I chose it. Stagetraxx sees the Everse app and will deliver stereo audio to it just fine, but I need it to deliver left (program) to the EV and the right (click) to the in ear transmitter via headphone out—the one thing ios won’t allow. ;-(

I only need click and I use a single ear monitor. The EV sits right beside me when busking, or as a wedge if I’m sending its output to a larger house system, so I hear plenty of program to follow. But often, the track doesn’t enter until the second verse, so I need click till then to be in sync. I also have a few cues in the click channel. And there are moments where the track drops out and I have a guide vocal in my cue.

Both mic and guitar are wireless so it’s a pleasure to have zero wires.

That's not possible with ST3. Interapp Audio connections always send the full stereo mix.

Thank you. I was confused about signal flow. Of course, the signal from ST3 does not flow through the EV app, but rather directly to the speaker via Airplay. Airplay will connect to multiple BT devices and so what I really need is simply to connect the EV as one device and BT earbuds as a second device. I can select left input for EV and just use a single earbud for right channel click. Stumped again! IOS mutes all other devices when air buds are connected! (Sad, if folks are watching a movie and one person needs earbuds.) Has nothing to do with ST3…sorry for the confusion.

AIrplay or Bluetooth audo are not able to transfer multiple audio streams. They just send a stereo signal. What you do with that signal on the receiver end is up to you. iOS always uses only one active output. So whatever you connect last is the active output for all sounds.

I guess you should drop the wireless audio transfer and use a wired connection. With that you can achieve what you want.
