@BRS … that’s not the case … as MarkPAman wrote… the panning for FOH doesn’t have anything to do with the panning for the monitors. If you leave the pans for the mixes 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 in the center psosition,the channel is fed to both sides of the stereo mix. If you connect your monitor amp only to the left or the right output you’ll get exactly the same signal as from every mono mix. The only exception are the stereo inputs and the efx returns. From these channels you get only the left (mix 5,7,9) or the right (mix 6,8,10). But as I use the stereo inputs only for music playback during the breaks and I avoid sending effects to the monitor, this is no problem for me. I once did a monitormix with 10 mono mixes (1-4, 5,7,9, GRP1, GRP3 and LEFT) with the QU24 😉 There’s no need for a combiner.

I already know this, but the desk is isntalled in a city hall, and the customer wants the fader to be the master fader. It seems, that we still have to use the headphone output to feed the monitor amplifiers. Maybe this feature will be implemented in a future update.
Thank you,

Ganging would be great, but even a channel link function like in the QU series (with the choice not to link pan, fader and mutes) would be very helpful. Andy

[AndyParticipant]

A “mono sum” button on the screen for the matrixes would be great. Please also for the QU mixers. Then I could get rid of my adapters with resistors which now do the summing analogue after the outputs.

[AndyParticipant]

Thank you. Some People like to work with the FX sends, others prefer to work with the returns. The QU shows the FX parameters in the send and the return processing window, so for editing them it doesen’t make a difference. I hope A&H will add this (and some other things) to the SQ software soon. The SQ is a great desk, but in my opinion there’s still some work to do to make it a complete mixer 😉

[AndyParticipant]

I don’t own a desk, but I found this in the manual:

In SETUP – MIXER CONFIG – BUS CONFIG you can set the number of groups and mixes. There are 12 stereo mixes and you can choose how many of them you want to use as subgroup instead of an aux mix. For example, you want to have 2 subgroups, than there are 10 aux mixes left. And you can select, if a mix or group is stereo or mono.

[AndyParticipant]

I think release notes are important for all who are interested in the SQ consoles. You can’t make a decision which mixer to buy, when you don’t know about the features.

Therefore I can’t imagine, that this informations will not be available soon.

[AndyParticipant]

You can use DCAs.

[AndyParticipant]

Do you plan to make the release notes and the reference guide available for others as well? I’m sure, many people are interested.
Thanks, Andy

I never had problems with any router I tried. There are two things maybe everyone of us once accidentally did wrong. Check the wiring. Make sure that the network cable is plugged into the network connector and not into the D-Snake connector. Then make sure, you connect the other end to a LAN port of the router, not to the WAN/internet port. All problems I had with my desks and a router were due to one of these wrong connections 😉 Good Luck!!

[AndyParticipant]

If they put the preamp section to the correct place, I’d like to buy one 😉

I can’t imagine, why you want to go back to an old firmware, but I can send you the file 1.71 or 1.73 or even 1.40. If you want it, just send me PM. But this will only work with the desk. You will not be able to install the iPad app for any old firmware version.

Sorry .. my mistake… I confused the numbers … track 8 always will be routed to channel 8 .. but in this example I’d like to get the signal into channel 10, where the recorded signal came from.

Andy

[AndyParticipant]

I use my QU24 and the AR2412 at least twice a week and never had any problems. Channel count is from 12 to 24 channels, up to 9 outputs, when used as monitor desk, 4 EFX are used most of the time, multitrack recording as well. I can’t imagine, that someone ever uses dynamics in all channels 😉 .. to get it short … it works, as it should and I’m sure, that there’s enough processing power.

I bought my iLive 5 years ago and also bought the mixpad app as soon as it was available. I even had to buy an iPad, so the remote control of the desk costed about 500,- €.

BUT: when I think about size, weight and the costs of my older big analogue desks with remote controllable TC EQs and when I think of how much easier this great desk and the app made my work, it’s worth every single cent. I think, maybe 10 or 15 years ago, every company in the pro audio business would have paid 5.000,- € to get a remote control like this, if it would have been available.

Don’t forget … a digital desk is a computer. Did you buy a computer within the last years? And what is it worth now?

I think the iLive is a great desk, we got several updates within the last years, all for free. It is paid, it earns money and it makes my work much easier, and this will not change regardless, if there will be iLives 2 or 3 …

And in my career as sound engineer I payd a lot more money for much less usable things than the mixpad 😉

just my thougts …
