The FX channels need to be assigned to a group. Scroll to the right!

Assign the FX channel(s) in CQ4You and adjust to taste.

No problems here. Seems pretty durable so far (~10+ gigs, plus the back and forth to/from the rehearsal space). The accessory pockets are perfect for the IEC cable, along with a sandwich bag containing a bunch of SD cards and USB sticks.

I am also interested in how to get system audio to play through my CQ-20B. In a DAW, I need to set the master output to 21/22 (which works perfectly fine as long as the USB fader isn’t down all the way). Does anyone know how to tell macOS to use 21/22 for its output? Perhaps something like Soundflower or BlackHole would suffice?

BT issues resolved by refraining from using one of these: https://xvive.com/audio/product/u4-in-ear-monitor-wireless-system/ — might try again with the transmitter connected to a 20′ XLR cable and placed as far away from the mixer as possible…

Sounds like AMM has been enabled.

[TheAngryPenguinParticipant]

Yes, you can record to both at the same time.

Totally agree. I am a performing mix engineer as well, and I surely to miss being able to control my monitor mix without having to switch to another app as one can do with the embedded web server that Sonundcraft uses in their digital mixers.

Take it back to your dealer and set up a warranty replacement.

[TheAngryPenguinParticipant]

Got it! It’s 21/22. Not sure why it didn’t work at first.

I have added all stereo pairs to the master out, and I am still unable to get any DAW playback through my CQ-20B. According to Channel Assignment, 23/24 is set as Main L/R (Stereo L/R). What am I missing?

[TheAngryPenguinParticipant]

(screenshot borrowed for reference…) — The forum wouldn’t let me reply from where I was at on that day — it thought I was trying to spam the board.

Anyway, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

[TheAngryPenguinParticipant]

I guess I will need to further explore Audio MIDI Setup, as there’s no mechanism in the Audio Device Preferences to tell the DAW to route its stereo output to a specific pair of channels.

[TheAngryPenguinParticipant]

I am still super confused about this. Having to flip the input source to USB/SDHC on all 16 channels just to play back a multi-track recording is a royal PITA. And more times than not, when flipping back to Analogue, channels that had Auto Gain enabled before no longer have it enabled. And what about overdubbing? [CQ-20B, MacOS, Reaper]

“Then realized you can do what the 4you app does within the mixpad app.”

What? Nooo Way! How?
