The QU is very picky about USB drives. Be sure to only drives that have been reported as compatible, like the ones listed in this thread:

Wow, thanks you guys!
Yes, I’m recording to a USB stick. I’ll try Giga’s method.
Thank you!

[BBEgoParticipant]

Have you tried a factory reset and firmware update?
I had a problem early on with my QU16 with it going all unstable, and a factory reset fixed it.

[BBEgoParticipant]

I have an amazing 256gB flash drive that records in multitrack on my QU-16 beautifully.
It is the SanDisk SDCZ880-256G-G46 Extreme PRO 256GB USB 3.1

No glitches, no problems. Plenty of space.
This one crushes it.

Screw all the others. This one crushes it.

I run sound for my band, and I have my iPad mounted to my mic stand when we’re performing live using QU-Pad.
I start and stop my multitrack recordings via iPad without even having to touch the mixer. It’s fantastic, and now the only problem with our recordings is the playing! LOL 😁

[BBEgoParticipant]

They’re taking the 600mHz range away too now?!
Man, I’m glad I went digital this year.

[BBEgoParticipant]

Looks like you’re arming it, but not actually starting the recording.

You must hit play after pressing the record button.

[BBEgoParticipant]

This rig is solely for my band, where house sound is not provided.

The existing configuration has a really nice sound (the QU16 is an amazing board), but I am looking forward to hearing a properly crossed solution.

[BBEgoParticipant]

I appreciate the assistance, but was the sigh really necessary?
Not everyone is as proficient or experienced as the pro guys.

Well, this method does seem considerably less complicated. Hard to argue with that!
Gonna need a few more cables for this method. I bought 2 short XLR patch cables specifically to run L/R straight to the Power Amp, but for this configuration I’ll need 4 longer XLR.
Makes good sense though. Thanks!

So Bob, you’re saying send the L/R stereo out to the 2 sub inputs and then let the active sub out send back the signal with the lows filtered out?
Will a stereo mix be maintained? I only have a single sub.

I don’t understand why they didn’t include a dedicated subwoofer out on this unit.

[BBEgoParticipant]

Thank you!
The Airickess approach is what I was hoping for. Thanks for the input!

[BBEgoParticipant]

What’s the best USB 3 HDD 1tB or bigger that can reliably record in 16ch multitrack for full 45min sets?

The Western Digital My Passport Ultra has hiccups and skips.
Thanks!

[BBEgoParticipant]

Multitrack recording encounters occasional skipping with the WD My Passport Ultra.

I wonder if a higher quality cable would help it perform better. Might be that it comes down to the QU-16 not being able to get enough juice to it.

[BBEgoParticipant]

This was Extremely helpful, Dan & co.
Thank you! I learned a lot!
I was using a version of Dan’s idea, but had gotten frustrated for 2 reasons:

I had my subwoofer on mix 4, because I didn’t know you could set the stereo mixes to mono, independent of the L/R mix.

I got frustrated having to constantly adjust the subwoofer mix level because I didn’t know about the “Post Fade” trick.

Now I can run subs on Mix 10 (for visual simplicity – nearest the L/R fader), and slave the level control to the L/R fader. Brilliant!
Thanks guys!
