    1. Explaining audio routing to anyone who is not technically savvy, or able to think virtually on a digital mixer – is hell. This is about the most difficult aspect of using a digital mixer, it requires cerebrally capable people, who can visualise things that are NOT displayed, cos the physical interface is a virtual one, switching between layers. I have found it so hard to explain the routing to others.

    I had to resort to pen and a sheet of paper to attempt to share the knowledge on the routing, but it was impossible, I would need a very large sheet, to do it justice.

    2. It needs people who can read a manual, and grasp complex ideas. Most people as I have discovered – sorry are unable to. No one else in my church, has read the QU 16 reference guide, even after I made the effort to point them to the pdf version. I am the only person in this church who has read the manual. So it is such a huge burden attempting to break down the knowledge to others.

    But this is not the fault of me or anyone else. Digital mixers pack a lot of functionality into a small set of user interface elements.

    3. How wonderful it would be to get a dynamic EQ on each channel.

    There is a routing screen that offers more information.

    I had to resort to pen and a sheet of paper to attempt to share the knowledge on the routing, but it was impossible, I would need a very large sheet, to do it justice.

    The routing on the QU16 is very straightforward. No groups or matrices that complicate things more than necessary.

    But on the other hand, if you have a dynamic EQ on every channel, how to explain that to the people using the mixer without any knowledge of audio processing?
