Ok, thanks Dick.

No other way around it apart from sub mixer route if I wanted to set this up in order to use on all 32 channels?

[cantonaParticipant]

Definitely a loose nut Dick, I think possibly more than a few with years of disco biscuit abuse 🙂

Most line inputs are fully loaded mate, I think I do have a couple spare tho, how would you approach it if you were in my sitation? The main RYTM outputs are TRS jacks out.

I may just leave one H9 connected instead of two then just go RYTM direct into ST2 for ease tho.

[cantonaParticipant]

Dick! My fault, I probably should have realised the ST1 layer volume fader was not turned up!

That was really the only issue along with the signal levels, but I knew it was trial and error to get that to set that. I need to do a little more tomorrow and hopefully I won’t need to set it again 🙂

This should not be happening with a desk that costs as much as it does. When I first saw the desk at a trade show one if the main reasons why I purchased it was exactly because of this control with Logic. No one mentioned this issue then so I actually feel a little misled.

This issue also seems to have been around since 2012 from what I can see looking at the forums quickly. It is now 2017. Sort it out please A&H, it is not good enough.

[cantonaParticipant]

Thank you for your help here, it seems to be working. I will tweak it a little more tomorrow.

I also have another H9 that I plan to add into the mix so if I end up using Mix 7/8 going into ST2 what would happen if I wanted to go one step further and use the outputs of my Analog RYTM drum machine into the desk in order to use the RYTM distortion and compressor. Where would I go about plugging this into the desk if I have already used the ST2 inputs?

[cantonaParticipant]

Ok, seem to be getting something now but sound is isn’t great, slightly delayed and peaking the H9.

[cantonaParticipant]

Sorry i’m new to the world of mixing desks, so please forgive me.

What i’m trying to do is like what Andreas mentioned.

“Feeding to a (stereo) Mix output and back into the Stereo inputs should be the best way to go.
Using a Mix is exactly the same like using a FX bus or LR, you probably want to set the channels to post-fader, so if you turn down the LR fader, no signal will be sent to your Mix output as well.”

Now, my mix outputs (5/6) are going out into the L&R input of the H9. From there they are leaving the two outputs abd coming back into the desk through ST1 L&R.

I can see signal levels in the H9, it was peaking at one point so I know something is happening. I candouble confirm this as I can the H9 apps signal level monitor shows activity. I just can’t hear anything.

What I want to achieve is get the H9 effect available on all 32 channels of the QU32.

[cantonaParticipant]

I can see signal going into pedal activity monitor though and through H9 app signal meter. It’s in tempo with the BD. Just not hearing anything change the sound.

[cantonaParticipant]

Done both of them, still no difference.

[cantonaParticipant]

Sorry I just can’t seem to get this going. My BD is coming in on 23. I have accessed the mix 5/6 and turn up the master and channel 23. I don’t understand where i’m assigning it, do you mean there is a menu setting I need to adjust?

I thought by turning those channels up in the Mix 5/6 layer that i should hear the audio change. Same goes if I turned up all 32 channels that the way we have routed the audio cables that the signal canrun through to all 32 by turning up all the faders in Mix 5/6 for instance.

[cantonaParticipant]

I’m not sure if i’m doing something wrong as I can seem to get this going. I’m looping a bass drum going directly into the line in and trying to effect it.

Stereo 5+6 XLR mix outputs feeding into two L&R jack inputs of the H9 then output of the H9 L&R going into Stereo L&R of desk.

Have pressed Mix Group button 5&6, put volume of drum channel max, same for master volume.

Can’t hear any different but I can see the master is peaking in the red.

Is there something i’m missing? I’m going through all the presets, no change, H9 is set to 100% wet.

[cantonaParticipant]

If I shut down the mac then I have to delete / reset all settings again for the Mackie Control. I can’t keep it in standby as everything needs to be shut off. Pretty annoying.

From what i can see this happens in Cubase also.

cubase-forgets-qu-24-midi-settings-for-mackie-controls

Is this actually a MIDI thing or QU Firmware? Perhaps someone at A&H should chime in. I could be wrong but if it happens in Cubase then at this moment I can only see it as a firmware issue.

[cantonaParticipant]

Ok, thanks for the advice guys.

Just ordered some new cables so once they arrive i’ll give it a go and report back 🙂

Thank you for your input!
