ME works with QU: 100% sure of that. I’ve run ME with qu16 and gu-sb.
I might be wrong about “short.” I know, the local mic works, you report. But it is at least possible that the jack receives separate wires from the local mic and the DAC. But i’m Just guessing.
You should do a problem ticket with A&H, if not already done.
2019/08/09 at 1:25 am #85763You really have done the tests, especially plugging the ME right into board dsnake out.
It acts like there is a short between the DAC and the output jack, while the local mic is connected ok to the output jack???
2019/08/08 at 10:17 pm #85759Does it pass the names of your channels?
Do you have the sound level of the individual channels turned up? (easy to forget for first time users).
2019/08/04 at 5:19 pm #85669While one can use two mono mixes and pan with faders, you then have to use all input channels as mono, so have stereo keyboards, mp3s, LR overheads, etc as 2 mono channels.
2019/08/04 at 2:10 am #85658Don’t think you can change those to stereo. I got 3 more stereo mixes by changing 3 groups to mixes, then routing those mixes to matrices. But that only got me to 6 stereo mixes (for IEMs). For 7 stereo, I think you might need SQ.
2019/07/29 at 1:52 pm #85558Thanks, Keith. That was very enlightening, especially since you explained the limitations.
I’ll add one implication, which may not be obvious to everyone: Although you cannot process those Tie Line only channels, if you send them to ME, you can then use ME to alter the volume and panning of those channels.
2019/07/27 at 8:17 pm #85525Help me understand. Sure, there are sources that might only be needed in ME. I’m thinking things like click tracks, audience mics, spoken cues between band members, etc. Are you saying that the I/O page can be configured in such a way that these ME only sources extend the total number of inputs beyond 48?
2019/07/26 at 5:41 pm #8551612, I believe. Either mono or stereo. If you only intend to connect to monitors via stage-box, then your number of mixes is of course limited to the number of outputs on the stage-box
If you add ME boxes, then you can expand the number of monitor mixes to practically any number you want. These are 48KHz, but do not impact the rest of the 96kHz operation.
2019/06/10 at 2:26 pm #84499D-snake just gives you another location for your aux outputs. It doesn’t add auxes or change mono to stereo. I happen to like my Ar2412 being permanently wired to IEM transmitters, but that is a matter of convenience, not necessity.
2019/06/09 at 1:22 pm #84471The method I used is two ME units plus
Aux 5-6 IEM mix
Aux 7-8 IEM mix
Aux 9-10 IEM mixFor the final two mixes, change a Group on the mixer into a Mix, then route that mix into a matrix out.
and YES, you can control these final two Group mixes via QU4you app.
(if you haven’t already purchased, I greatly prefer Me-1 over Me-500, because the Me-500 forces you into carefully selecting which sound sources are in outputs 1-16 in the I/O section.)
2019/06/05 at 2:56 pm #843461.4 was released on a Wednesday, AFAIK, which is smart. Maybe a Monday would be even better for releases. Gives churches 5-6 days of advanced notice. Gives 4-5 days before Fri night events. With looming weekend gigs, I delayed updating firmware until I was assured that there were no updating errors or catastrophic bugs. Sure enough, several of my band mates had SQ4you auto updates.
Automatic tablet/phone updates are one reason we should applaud A&H’s practice of not releasing updates until thoroughly tested.
(imagine what would happen with a tablet only board, like Qu-sb)
2019/06/01 at 1:00 am #84207I’d like to see a 96khz Me option, for exactly the same reasons. Is it even possible as a firmware option? Of course, Qu and AR/AB users would want 48khz, so I use the word “option” rather than “update.”
2019/05/22 at 6:30 pm #83965I have a feeling you know most/all of this, but it is here for others who might hope that the mixer scenes can be as simple as recall a scene called rock band, jazz band, etc.
Even though you are also providing the DIs and Mics and you will already know to use initial settings like Phantom power, initial panning on bass, drums and keys, effects settings, no compression (but maybe limiters) to monitors, HP filters on virtually everything, blah blah blah, every band will differ on…
1) How hard the drummer hits
2) What is the volume and tone of the bass and guitar amps, if they have any!
3) Different volumes for singers/horn players with different mic techniques and different gain/pan depending on lead vs. background duties
4) Different gains coming from keyboards
5) Different number of aux needed for monitors and are these wedges or IEMs. Are you going to force bands to use only 4 mono auxes and 3 stereo auxes or are you gonna sacrifice some groups (turning them to mixes to allow additional matrix outs).
6) some band member insists on using their own mic(s) or DI. This could differ on each band.
7) is the keyboard guy wanting mono, stereo or multiple inputs for each boardSo you will still have to fine tune pre-amp gain, compression, noise gates, at the very least, for each band.
My only suggestion is to first create your “generic scene” and then communicate with each band about their configuration/plot, input list desires, early in the week and create an “initial” scene for each band. I personally would not wait until the day of event. Beating a dead horse here, but an editor program that does not require connection to the mixer would be helpful.
2019/05/13 at 8:10 pm #83822What “changes at the board?” Preamp changes will be heard in aux mixes, as will eq if aux mixes are receiving signals post eq. I have found Changes in effects to be disruptive, so I use a different reverb for IEM auxes, and no IEM mix gets any of the FOH effects.
The other options for avoiding all changes in IEM mixes are…
(1) use a separate mixer for IEMs and split signals before hitting the mixers (analog or digital splitters or tie lines)
(2) use two channels for every sound source that goes to IEMs on One mixer. One of channels only routed to FOH. (If your mixer has this flexibility, and you have enough inputs)2019/05/07 at 2:53 am #83718Yes. Must be odd even. I’ve done crazy stuff to make that happen.
