Waves Mobile Apps

Setting up and Connecting Waves Mobile Apps

Waves mobile apps increase flexibility and efficiency when setting up and managing live sound events. These apps connect to the SoundGrid host application via a private, dedicated Wi-Fi network.

Waves Mobile Apps Overview

• MyMon: Allows each musician to control a dedicated aux mix. Compatible with eMotion LV1 and SoundGrid Studio. Compatible with phones and tablets.
• MyFOH: Allows basic remote control over eMotion LV1 mixer by FOH engineer. Compatible with eMotion LV1. Compatible with tablets only.
• mRecall: Allows remote recall of preprogrammed Scenes and Snapshots. Compatible with eMotion LV1 and SuperRack. Compatible with phones and tablets.
• MixTwin: Efficiently mirrors and optimizes your mixer window onto your tablet device. * Currently supports iPad and Windows only.

Waves Mobile Apps Configuration

In this example, artists control their monitor mixes, independent of the FOH mixer. Scenes and snapshots can be recalled remotely, and certain mixer functions can be controlled away from the FOH, allowing the mixer to check and adjust the mix from throughout the venue.

Diagram Description: The configuration shows a typical live sound setup. A "Waves Host Application" (1) is connected via Ethernet to a "WiFi Router" (2). This router creates a dedicated "Mobile Apps Network". On stage, musicians are performing. Three mobile devices are shown connecting wirelessly to the router: one running the "MyFOH Mobile App / MixTwin" (3), another running the "mRecall Mobile App" (4), and a third running the "MyMon Mobile App" (5). The setup allows artists to manage their monitor mixes and recall settings remotely.

Setup and operation are identical between all Waves mobile apps. Throughout this user guide, eMotion LV1 is used as an example; follow the same steps when setting the Mobile app with SuperRack or SoundGrid Studio.

Setting Up

eMotion LV1 Setup (do this first)

1. Run a dedicated Ethernet cable from the LV1 host computer to the Wi-Fi router. This connection provides control information for the mobile apps Wi-Fi network. No audio passes over it. Do not run the mobile apps network over the SoundGrid network. If the host computer does not have a second Ethernet port, use a USB-to-Ethernet (or other) adaptor. It is possible to place the Wi-Fi router at the FOH position, but it is recommended to place it near the mobile clients.
2. Launch eMotion LV1 and navigate to the Setup Window > System Inventory Page > Controls column.
3. Click on an empty Control slot. Select "MyRemote" from the menu. The MyRemote icon will appear in the slot. You can open the MyRemote control panel by clicking on the Gear button [⚙️]. A single MyRemote Control module provides communication between the host and all mobile apps simultaneously.

Mobile Apps Network Setup:

1. Install your Mobile App of choice (MyMon, MyFOH, mRecall, MixTwin [iPad only]) using:
   • Android phone/tablet users: Google Play
   • iPhone/iOS tablet users: App Store
2. Establish your Wi-Fi network name and password to protect it. Share your Wi-Fi network name and password with all mobile clients. All users can now connect to the mobile apps Wi-Fi network using their mobile devices and then start the app.
3. The app will find the Host computer. Select the found host and click "Connect" [▶️].
4. The MyRemote control panel in the host displays the name of the newly connected mobile device and the app used to connect to the mobile apps network.

MyRemote Control Panel Screenshot Description: The screenshot shows the "MyRemote Control Panel" interface. It lists connected devices, such as "Val's S21", "Val's iPad", and "Galaxy A51", along with the specific Waves mobile app they are using (e.g., MyMon, MyFOH, mRecall). The status column indicates connectivity.
