My WD Passport 500 and my Passport 1TB both work with my QU16 but my WD Passport Ultra 1TB does not -if that helps….

I have used my iPad mini successfully with my QU16 – although I usually use my iPad 2. I use an Apple Airport Express as my router. Before that I used an older Linksys and then on to a Cisco E2500 router. Then I moved to the Apple and it has been far ore reliable. having the airplay function is handy too.

Darn… mine is an older Fire ….

I checked into this a few months back and it was not possible. The Fire uses the Amazon operating system – not Android – and there is nothing available on Amazon apps to my knowledge.

I use one of these and it has been fantastic. I got mine on sale for $48….cant beat it!

Multitrack recording skipping

Or make sure to place the hard drive on foam – something that will absorb vibration. Every time I have used rotating hard drives for my recordings from my QU16 placing them on a piece of foam under the mixer, I have never had any problems. The one time I didn’t use the foam -the recording skipped.

Here is a photo of what I am using – the bottom rack is 12 space, I thought it was a 10. It all brings the QU-PAC up to a nice workable height . Of course shorter racks would make the whole thing much shorter if you prefer.

I made my network invisible which helps-It never shows as an option on folks phones.

BTW- I use a shallow 4 space rack for my QU-PAC which takes up very little space. I have my 10 space rolling iem rack (transmitters, drawer for packs and miscellaneous) on the bottom, my 4 space rack with my wifi pieces for sound and lighting on top of that and my QU-PAC rack on top of that. They all lock in together and I roll the whole thing into the corner on stage where it takes up very little space.
When I use the QU16, I have to use a table for it so just not as neat.

I have so very few drop out issues with my wi-fi set up that it becomes a non issue for me when comparing the QU16 to the QO-PAC. To be honest, I was leaving the QU16 on stage more and more anyway and mixing on my pad.
One other thing to remember is the fact that some of the newer rack style digital mixers are useless without wi-fi but one of the reasons I chose the QU-PAC is because it is fully functioning from the front panel without wi-fi and I can access everything I need pretty quickly from the custom screens I have set up on the Qu-PAC.
Also, I love the way the QU 16 is laid out and workflow ( and of course I am familiar with it) so when it was time to choose a rack mount mixer, it made sense for me to choose the QU-PAC.
Like I said, I love both and take both with me each show. It has just become a bit more convenient for me to use the Qu-PAC these days at live shows. MY QU-16 gets used more at rehearsals and recording sessions.
I take a thumb drive and load all my settings from the PAC to the 16 regularly so I can switch out anytime I want (another good reason for me to have compatible mixers)

I own a QU16 and a QU-PAC… LOVE BOTH.
We transitioned from the QU16 recently for most of our shows because I mix from the crowd (wearing a mic headset to sing backing vocals) using an iPad.
This meant we could leave the QU-PAD on stage taking up less room than the QU16 and in its rack it’s a little more safe than the QU16 was.
I sometimes choose to take the QU16 when I run sound for other bands but for us, it’s literally set and forget so the QU-PAC works.
As Mark said, it is a little quicker setting up the QU16 but if simply recalling a scene and making some tweaks with an iPad – the QU-PAC has advantages.

[debzdoodleParticipant]

I’ve used my PNY successfully many times – Go figure???

[debzdoodleParticipant]

Yes- I’d like to know too… Half the band is iPhone and half is Android…

[debzdoodleParticipant]

Thanks Harry… I wa able to set up the ‘sel’ buttons in the custom layer. I will be checking out the video also …
