I’m sure Many will purchase this product with hopes of having the ability to recode without a daw only to discover?

I for one will be using my cq18t mainly for recording, usually over usb.
But it’s Nice to have the option of just popping in an se card and to multitrack that way…

@blaqwater,

Unlikely…

I’m not sure of the point here. The CQ is not a DAW if that is what you mean, but I don’t think most people are expecting a DAW since that’s not how the product is positioned. It’s a very nice live mixer that can also record the performance. That’s how I use it and I can drop the tracks into a DAW for processing if I need to.

We like to record our performances and the CQ makes it easy to do – much better than hauling separate recording gear around. It’s pretty remarkable little mixer, I think.

[AllthatSamParticipant]

Exactly. I ordered mine mainly for recording in Logic. But I opted for a mixer rather than an interface because I can also use it standalone for rehearsal or for Mixing small stuff… In fact I almost ordered a DM-3 but then these little guys came out…
It’s cool to have the option to record a practice session or stuff like that, but when I’m tracking drums, I’ll be doing so in Logic.

Unquestionably as an owner of the product , This mixers great! but it can be awesome with a few firmware updates; unfortunately, it just appears to be a skeleton of its true capability
the product wasn’t marketed as simply a digital mixer with recording capability. the term multi-track doesn’t imply but confirms an ability to record individual tracks to construct one complete recording. It clearly has the ability; with the repeat all and or a single option just think of it like reeL 2 reel

Digital Audio Workstation/software
An acronym for Digital Audio Workstation, DAWs cover every part of the music-making process from recording digital audio through creating beats and melodies with virtual instruments to adding effects to make everything sound great and perfecting your final mix of all the tracks.

I would prefer to not be tethered to A DAW respectfully this mixers like a First date you wish could be much more.

[BlaqwaterParticipant]

lol, some products just look sexy and you just have to have them for the moment this is just an ornament locked into my workflow. If it wasn’t built and designed so well I would return it
