Assign mute and fx mute

[Jdean]

Hi all, I have just purchased a QU16, just a quick question, playing live we require quick access to mute all instrument channels for breaks and prior to gig etc, and in between songs to mute fx on vocal channels. Is there a way of assigning this to the soft keys for quick action whilst live? Regards

Yes. See pages 39 & 59 of The Manual.

Sorry, Bear, but the video contains none of the info the OP seeks. First you have to follow the Mute Group instructions on p. 39, then the Soft Key instructions on p. 59.

Thanks guys, I’m gonna give it a go shortly so will report back and probably be asking more questions lol. 👍🏻

Well, I watched it.

I weep for todays youth…

Many thanks for responses so far, getting custom mute channels is working great 👍🏻
The issue I am having is fx mute on channels with soft key? Can I program soft key 2 to mute fx sends on all channels (or just vox Mics) to FOH with a soft key?
Basically I just want to mute any FX on vocal Mics between songs quickly using a soft key?
Regards

Mute the FX return channel via a Soft Key. Much easier.

Suggest mute fx sends via mute group. I use group 4. I prefer to mute sends so it doesn’t chop off. Leaves a tail.

[Dick Rees]

OK, I’ll buy the “don’t chop off the tail” rationale…

Ha ha DR

Depends how absurd your tail is 😉

Hello.
Can I assign Soft Key for Mute FX only for 1 mic channel? Thanks.
