“Are there things you’d like to see new that an update might address or are you looking for “good faith” from A&H that they will continue to support this product?”
Of course, there are such things. The Feature Request Forum has many good ideas, from simple usability enhancements (example: “Talkback-like Behaviour” for Mix Buttons) to real extensions (example: more Matrix Busses).
It is unlikely we will see bigger extensions. At least, Firmware Upgrades cannot break Hardware Limits and A&H will likely not want to risk breaking well working things by adding complex Features or making structural Changes. Those Requests may be considered as a User Wish List for future Products/Models but not for the existing Hardware.
But there have been smaller Extensions which are very usable – example: DCA Spill – and if A&H sees an easy Way for such a thing they may do it because it makes customers more content and content customers are the best Marketing Option that exists.
Also, Bug Fixes and Adaptions to new Hardware Components may still be needed in some cases, so I’m sure we will see that as long as there is at least one Production Line for SQ Consoles.
2024/12/12 at 12:27 pm #127929littiParticipantI still have only two major upgrades I’d like to see in the next future:
– full processing on FX returns or at least sidechain-able compressor on FX returns
– ganging on outputs, so that I can link LR and subwoofer outs and turn them up/down with a single fader and without browsing layersPS: actually it would also be funny to have some less strictly necessary toys like the SSL-like bus compressor or the pitch shifter that was already implemented on the GLD
2024/12/14 at 11:25 am #127953BongoballParticipantHi Litti, if you assign L&R and Sub Aux to a DCA you’ll be able to turn them up/down together.
2024/12/15 at 4:24 pm #127969littiParticipantI know, but it means browsing layers in search of the dca or having one fader assigned to that dca on every layer. Instead, I’d like to use the LR fader ganged to whatever type of output I’m using for subs, fills, etcetera
2024/12/17 at 1:19 am #127995RTDParticipantI agree with litti. Linking a Sub aux with LR should be a default function in a mixing desk in this price range. It would improve my workflow with 300%
2024/12/17 at 5:37 am #127997TobiParticipantUse a DCA.
2024/12/17 at 11:06 am #128000littiParticipant@Tobi: a DCA would occupy one of the 16 faders on one or more layers and I don’t want that, plus sometimes, especially with school orchestras, I need all the DCAs and I wish I even had a couple more. If ganging between outputs was possible, I’d just move the master fader and affect all the linked outs accordingly.
Surely the DCA would be a good solution if I had a SQ-6 or 72024/12/17 at 2:04 pm #128006RTDParticipantA DCA is such a waste of space on my SQ5.
It will cost me one fader to use a DCA and the L/R fader is always there to use. -
