One of the beauties of the SQ is it’s pretty stunning Custom Fader Layer facilitates.
Don’t feel you have to work with the fader layers as they were when you first switched the SQ on. It’s so easy to drag and drop channels onto a fader Layer, or flick ones you don’t want there, off.
I like the idea of a drum kit Layer, with maybe the bass on fader 1 as well. The bass can still be where you had it on the top layer, and you can also add those relevant extras to the drums on,say, Layer 2.
One a TV show recording I did, I had a few more channels than the 14 audio faders, plus 2 VCA’s I could fit on my SQ5 layers, so I created two almost identical layers, with the extra sources on little used faders on Layer 2.
By the same token, you can create totally different layers. A band Layer, and a vocal Layer. You can make it work for your exact requirements.
Once you realise how simple it is to do, you’ll wish you’d done it before.
Save a memory before you start, and if you get in a muddle, you can go back to where you were.
