I currently run sound in our main church service on an older Roland M-400 and recently upgraded our youth room to a QU-16. Overall.. very pleased with the QU-16 and considering the QU-32 to replace the older Roland. Having one issue that bugs me though..
On the M-400 I can mute using a group, press mute on an individual channel in that group, and the channel will unmute. The channel mute buttons toggle no matter the group state. On the QU boards it seems like the mute group is king. If you press a channel mute while the group is muted it then sets the channel to be muted if you unmute the group? Aka, you cannot unmute a channel while the group is muted?
The QU-16 only has 4 soft keys so I use one for instruments, one FX, one for vocals and one for media inputs. When 4 vocalists are done I mute the group.. but then someone usually grabs one of those mics to talk, and I cant unmute just that mic when the group is muted. Very irritating to me in this mode.
I then have to keep one mic out of the group and mute that group plus the single mic separately.
There are other ways to handle this situation I am sure.. but dealing with student volunteers often and I like the simple toggle behavior of the Roland much better.
Is there any way to change this behavior in some kind of setting or config?
