USB streaming to / from PC/Windows

[Ermep01]

In the “Features not supported by v1.0” you state “USB streaming to / from an Apple Mac is supported by V.1.0 firmware,
but PC/Windows currently not supported” so I assume this is coming in the future!
There are many PC users….. It’s not only Mac in the bussiness!

[SteffenR]

Yes. I would love that as well

[topdj]

please this would be very welcomed

After contact with A&H Support on another issue (recording) I asked for the feature to USB streaming on a PC.
This was the answer: “as for PC connectivity, I guess if there is enough people on the forum asking for this it will definitely help to see the demand is there”
So if there are any PC-users please react on this topic. I can’t imagine it’s only Mac-users using the QU-16….

I hope that they will releas USB streaming to PC, if not I am forced to return the consol even though I love the sound of it.

But I guess there aren’t that much registered user in the forum.

Also I guess that there are many users, who would like the console by itself, but didn’t buy it because of that issue.
Logically, these potential customers are in here neither.

I hope they will release USB streaming to PC/Windows very soon. And I wonder what the strategy behind waiting for demands is. When I think of potential users, I think of musicians ond homerecorder besides live sound, rental and installed sound companies. Most of them are working Windows based. But will they ASK for USB-Windows streaming? I don´t think so at all. When they see the information that the mixer is only compatible with Mac they will immediately go on and buy Behringer X32 producer or Soundcraft.

Qu-16 is such a great product, it is really well done, thumbs up! From my point of view it would be easy to get a big piece of the musicians and homerecording cake and maybe also “create” future customers for GLD … And how? USB PC/Windows compatibility! 😉

I thought I finally found the mixing / recording solution I’ve been looking for right up to the bit when it said “USB streaming only on Mac”.

Plenty of other products support streaming on both Mac / Windows platforms, please introduce this and you’ll definitely get a sale from me…

This is a deciding issue for me too. It does not have to happen right now, but I don’t think I’ll buy one if I don’t get a statement that it will come.

The Qu-drive is a winning argument for me, but if it is not supposed to become M$ compatible I think I’ll have to put my money elsewhere. Too bad on such a fine product!

So: Will it be implemented or not?

@Gange
Just to be shure.. you can use the Qu-Drive with windows! Record your Tracks in a external HD with the Qu-Drive. Then you can use any software on any platform for audio mastering!

[Anonymous]

Yea, but thats not what I want for a semi professional studio environment. I guess no one do.

[Anonymous]

Qu-Drive is definately a great feature – for live recordings. But as already said it will not make any Win user buy the qu-16 to use it in a studio environment.

Is there a chance to get a statement from AH regarding this topic?

[Anonymous]

I’m using Windows only and I definitely need this feature if the Qu-drive modes
– “Multitrack Record + Multitrack Playback simultaneously” and
– “Stereo Record + Multitrack Playback simultaneously”
are not being implemented.

Multi-track record absolutely should be PC and windows. otherwise allen and heath will miss out on a lot of people that only have PCs. I’d Use it.

@eotsskleet
Yes, I know. If I, as an amateur, spending that amount of money is not that interesting if I can’t cover all my needs. I can get all the features/quality I _need_ for half the money buying another brand. But then comes the features/quality I _want_… 🙂
