I agree it’s not that worthy to invest AB168 with the QU. The reasons are as follows:

1: AB168 is much more expensive than the traditional analog snake. It’s half of the QU-16 mixer.
2: With the digital stage box, you don’t gain too much. You still have to carry a big metal box with cat5 cable, that may be even more stuff to carry than the analog snake.
3: It’s a waste of the on-board I/O, with AB168 stage box, it’s a double investment on preamps.

That’s why I’d rather buy a good analog snake in this case.

Well, my request here will solve the problem: https://community.allen-heath.com/forums/topic/personal-mix-with-a-simple-iphone-app

Just a simple iPhone app with access control should be enough. No need to have anything other than volume faders.

[HawkParticipant]

Great. Now it’s time to work on multiple remote control connections and a simple iPhone mix app (or make it possible that we can make it)!

[HawkParticipant]

an iPhone app could be the solution.

[HawkParticipant]

got mine, works great. Now it is easy to reach to my talkback, thanks!

[HawkParticipant]

just swap cables, man.

I think what is happening here is QU-16 is trying load the recording session back for playback right after you stop recording. That could take a long time because it’s very long. I would recommend to record in small session or leave a small multi-track session on it before recording the longer one. So it won’t try to load it back.

[HawkParticipant]

The limitation is the disk writing speed, not the usb bus speed.

As suggested by other user in this thread, use San disk extreme usb 3.0

[HawkParticipant]

I have about ten with no problem but I found some of my 16bit wave files cut off 3 seconds earlier before the ending when playing.

[HawkParticipant]

I wish it won’t record any channels that are turned off (X) in the USB output patch. It’s such a waste of space and cycles to record the channels that don’t have any signal coming.

[HawkParticipant]

Don’t you have to arm again in that case?

[HawkParticipant]

Can you really pause the recording after it started? The play/pause button looks disabled for me.

Sounds like SanDisk USB 3.0 is the way to go. Ordered! How long is the 64G version able to record?

[HawkParticipant]

I was thinking about the same thing. The multi-track recording is great, but copy files and mix on computer and then bounce is a lot of back and forth. Now I wish there are two Qu-drive ports?

[HawkParticipant]

Yes, I am talking about QU-Drive record and play. Should use one button for both play and stop since there are only 4 soft keys on QU-16.
