QU Channel & Mix naming doesn’t follow scenes

[Bernardfender]

Hi,

Good morning to every one. I’m new on that forum, and I will start with a short presentation. French, 70 years old, guitar player in a band, and recent owner of a Qu-16 (previous one was A&H WZ 16-2).

I would like to keep the Channels and Mix naming (and DCA, Softkeys names too) I gave to a band in a scene. I have two bands, with different naming fro channels and mix. If i change the scene, i would like to recover the associated names for each band. I tried to Block/allow filter in the scene, to Allow/block in the global filter, but the naming is not following the scene. Scene 1 has a naming which I stored in the scene with the “Store” command. I setup a scene 2 with another naming for cannel and mix, store in scene 2 with the “store” command, but when i’m back at scene 1 (recall command), the channel and mix names are those of the scene 2. I’m certainly doing something wrong, but please, could you help me ? Are there special parameters to allow/block in the scene filter, or in the global filter. I red 20 times the manual (in Eng and in Fr), I tried many times with different filters parameters, but still have “dark zones”… Thanks for helping.

There is a SAFE function page as part of the scene recall menus where each channel and mix can be set not to change with a scene recall.

To make it very easy: for what you’re trying to do you don’t need to use any of the “safe” options. That’s how I do it and it works perfectly fine 👌

Hello my Friends,

Is there one of you who can briefly (or deeply I would prefer) explain how to procee ?? I have a gig next saturday (I’m selected to be the the “sound engineer” for that event, what a nice promotion…) with 3 bands and would like to prepare 3 scenes with the right naming for each bandn channels and mix (as the groupe members are not equaly the same).

[Bernardfender]

Answer to Mike C.Thanks Mike.
That’s the opposite I would like to get: Each scene with proper and appropriate naming (Channel and Mix) for each band. Example: scene 1: Mix 1 is Bernard, Mix 2 is Paul, scene 2 Mix 1 is Mike, Mix 2 is Helen, etc…. And the same for each channel. Scene 1 Ch 10 is Keyboard (named KYBD), and scene 2 Ch 10 is acoustic guitar (named ACOUS Guit)..

Hi Giga

Could you explain how do you process ?
Thanks

[Mike C]

You do not want anything “safed” or “blocked” There are two ways to block a function, one is a global menu and the other is on a per scene selection, check both of them.
When a function is blocked it will show as red on the menu.

Hi,
Still spent two hours to try to get that functionality, and it doesn’t work. I set up scene 1 with “Bernard” as Mix 1 name and “Jimi” as Mix 2 name. I stored the scene 1 (“store” button). I set up a scene 2 with “John” as Mix 1 name and “Mike” as Mix 2 name. I stored the scene 2. When I recall scene 1, Mix 1 is still “John” and Mix 2 is “Mike”. Is there any filter mistake in my set up? All filters (scene and global) are set to “allow”. Or do I make a wrong procedure ? And, in addition, Mix names are not “seen” in the Qu-Pad App. It remains at “Mix1”, “Mix 2” naming etc… No recovery of Qu-16 Mix naming in Qu-Pad. Any idea….??

In the app, there’s also a “safes” button that affects your mixes. See attachement

Oh, btw: the “mixbuttons” on the right of your main fader don’t change names but click them and the name will be displayed above that mixes main fader.

Thanks Giga for all these precisions, but that doesn’t solve what I’m looking for: different channels and mix naming following different scenes, typically useful when you have several bands during a show, with different musicians names, and different mixe. One band with 3 monitors/mixes for 3 musicians and a second band with 6 monitor/mixes for 6 musicians = 6 mixes with different mixes names. It is possible to do that with the Qu, but when i’m jumping from on scene to another, the naming doesn’t follow the scene. My Qu is allways keeping the latest mix and channel naming.

One last thing I can think of is het user permissions. You aren’t by any chance *not* logged in as admin are you ?

If all fails upload your scenes here. You can find them on the Q-drive

Hi Giga, I’m Admin logged.

Such a friendly fellow and still no success.
Like the others, I assume that the problem is just wrong scene settings that didn’t need to be changed for your typical standard case.
Everything would probably work if you reset your console and started again from scratch.
But then all your work so far would be for nothing.
Giga has already offered to take a look at your problem.
Perhaps it would be best if you uploaded your entire show here for him for this purpose.
