QU without the stagebox has “one on one” patching, that means that input one is on channel one, and you cannot duplicate inputs.

Also, no scribble scripts, so a bit clumsy to work around in layers and where is what.
USB pen drive support is horrible.
Other than that it has more or less the same features like the GLD, the reverbs and delays, not…[Read more]

Set the console to static IP, just checked mine, it’s on static, and boots up normally.

I think the SQ is the succesor to both QU and GLD, combining worst from both consoles 🙂

The Deep fx from GLD/iLive is now possible to use on SQ, with the clumsy QU like workflow and knob count, and also seems like an M32 killer. AH just put out 48in/16out stagebox that can be used with both SQ and dLive, and I think the GLD is basically slowly…[Read more]

If you need that many de-esser’s consider it inserting on a subgroup that has only vocal channels routed to.

I find it effective for corporate events, where you have multiple headsets.

Have you used the wifi router with the console beforehand?

If you set up the ip address to static and tried booting the console while the router is not physically connected, it makes the console boot up too long, I think it is documented somewhere on the forums, I personally had the same issue on the 1.6 version of the firmware.
Once boot up,…[Read more]

No.

You could assing only one channel to record, like Mains L only, but it will still record as a stereo track.

Something’s gone wrong with my posts, so I’m typing again and attaching a small comparison sheet between the GLD and the SQ as of OCT 2018:

other stuff from the iLive/GLD era is still there like 12 stage phaser, flanger, chorus, but I doubt these are used that often, so they are not in the table, GLD has them all, SQ has none.

Also SQ has no…[Read more]

Couldn’t find “edit post”, so here’s a short comparison of what is where on GLD and SQ as of Oct 2018. :

GEQ yes yes
4 modes free 4 modes 109$

multiband 3bands

The GLD is disappearing from stores, local one can’t order it anymore from the distributer, so I guess AH already stopped producing them. Some stores have them on stock and getting rid of the for cheap money.

It depends on what you need from the console.
GLD is a very very versatile mixing desk, with the same FX like the iLive and some from the…[Read more]

I have to say that I’m quite happy with the introduction of the SQ, because the GLD’s price, both new (if you can find it) and used has dropped a lot, and now I was able to sell my former console, and I’m getting a GLD in 10 days.

I know a lot of you want some features like ducking and side chaining compression, but personally, I find the GLD to…[Read more]
