recording remix

[rookieParticipant]

I am new to all of this… I have recorded a multitrack to a storage device through the Qu-drive and now want to play it back, remix and record the final stereo track to the same or another storage device. What is the procedure?

[Victor KennedyParticipant]

To remix it you need to import the WAV files you recorded into a DAW, where you have full access as if they’d been recorded in the DAW.

You can’t remix internally in QU 16/24 etc from the QU drive. Hope this helps.

You can patch the USB drive to playback multitrack recordings back through
the input channels on a QU. Look at the USB multitrack set up pages in
the manual.

I don’t think you can record a two track mix down master back to the USB drive at
the same time though, you would need to go to an external recorder of some form.

You have 3 choices to mix your tracks.

As Victor said, transfer the files to a computer with a DAW and use a USB connection from the computer to the board to mix the tracks to a stereo file using the qu drive in 2 track mode.

Or use the DAW directly to mix the files down to a stereo mix.

And as Mike said, you can play back your tracks from the qu drive and record to a device connected to one of the analog outputs or digitally through the AES output or by USB to a recording program on a computer.

[Mike CParticipant]

Let me add that when playing a multitrack recording back through the QU you do have
all of the channel and mixer processing available.

Thanks guys… that helps. I think I will try Mikes suggestion first… and let you know what the outcome is!
