Qu-Drive & DAW via USB simultaneously?

[Studiodawg]

Can I record to Qu-Drive & DAW via USB simultaneously?

[SteffenR]

No.

Actually on the QU you can, now on the SQ you can not.
You can not independently route different sources to the QU drive and the USB B.

Actually on the QU you can, now on the SQ you can not.

Isn’t it the other way round?
SQ can, QU not?

Last time I tried on my QU16, it wasn’t possible.

The SQ has a menu selection for the recording output…..I think, been a while since worked with recording on an SQ.

When I have time, I’ll have to try it and find out. It’s kind of a bummer that A&H tech support doesn’t swoop in and answer little easy questions like this one.

That would have been my first step, but who am I….

You are Giga.

I get it that it would have been your first step, but my first step was installing the newer firmware and ASIO driver v1.95. My second step was optimize Windows 10 for audio…then my wife got hold of me and I haven’t been back to the studio…it was and is a matter of time.

*swoop*

yes.

(there’s a little list in this article of what you can/can’t do – https://support.allen-heath.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4402944132753-Qu-Understanding-Qu-Drive-and-USB-devices)

[Studiodawg]

Yes, it was painless. Also, Qu Windows Driver V4.86.0 and Qu-16 Firmware V1.97 along with Windows optimization for audio has produced glitch-free audio recorded direct to laptop. Thanks A&H…and thanks for the “swoop”.
