@markpaman … I think you reiterate exactly what I said. This was a ‘Rookie QU-16 Questions …’ thread and it seems some are giving advice for the QU 24 or 32 units which have the 4 dedicated FX busses. That confuses the issues.
2020/06/25 at 9:46 pm #92884@TobiVI …
Hmmmm … I don’t have time to digest all of your great post on the QU16 at the moment, and I’m sure there are multiple ways to go. But the Mix Channels I’ve selected to host FX3 and FX4 work exactly like FX1 and FX2 on my mixer. That is, if I select Mix 5/6 where FX3 is routed and then using the lower level I can send from every channel just exactly as when I’m using FX1 or FX2.
That’s where what you say about FX3 and FX4 hosted on a Mix Channel confuses me.
2020/06/25 at 8:02 pm #92880” So if I insert an fx on all mikes with FX1 then whatever settings I put on that fx are identical on all of them?”
The FX will be the same … but each channel will have its own independent send level. You aren’t really putting the FX on the mics, you are putting it on the FX1 channel/ aux where you can send the mic to that channel. To be crystal clear, inserting the FX from the FX menu is a different matter. What ever you insert and adjust there will be identical for any mic you send to FX1. Only the levels can or will be different depending on how you set the faders … from no send to max for that mic channel.
“So there is no way to have different values for each mike unless I use more fx and route them separately?”
Depends what you mean by different values. Again, you can different values with respect to the level you are sending with only one fx inserted and setup on FX1. You could insert the same fx plugin with varied settings on all four possible fx slots … or four different type effects. Then you could send differing levels of each fx from each mic channel to any or all combinations of the four FX channels. You could certainly have more than 16 different settings by using different send levels and different combinations of the 4 FX Aux channels.
“And after we use up all four then we are unable to selectively put fx on other channels?”
This makes me think you are confused … as I once was … about inserting an fx on a mic/ line channel and inserting an fx on an aux. Inserting on a mic channel limits you to one fx on that channel, no other mic can use that fx and you only have three left. Inserting an fx on aux FX1 and FX2 and on any of the other two mix channels you choose gives you a total of four fx that any channel can use via the send. function.
2020/05/25 at 1:54 am #92093Yes, every once in while we encounter on forums supercilious busy-bodys intent on answering questions not asked and suffering from chronic ‘last-word-itis.’
Bye!
2020/05/24 at 10:48 pm #92090Really?
2020/05/24 at 6:24 pm #92085I guess you are trying to help, but as I said, I’d like to hear from a QU-16 Mac user.
I probably should have started a new thread instead of piggy backing here.
2020/05/24 at 5:07 pm #92083Thanks for your reply. I’m pretty up on PCs. I run them in my studio and am aware of the tweaks for best audio performance.
The Macs by reputation are actually supposed to me more reliable and audio friendly without the need for drivers for USB audio … but, alas, not my experience at the moment.
I’m hoping a Mac user can chime in with some advice on the issue.

2020/05/24 at 1:24 am #92077I found this thread today and I am having a USB streaming issues … with a twist.
As I understand, whereas Windows requires driver installation, Mac Core Audio is supposed play right out of the box.
I have flawless audio from a 10 year-old Dell Precision laptop running Win 7 Pro.
I have a pulsing distortion from my late 2013 Macbook Pro that rides on top of the audio … sort of a high frequency rhythmic delay.
Both are using the same audio off of a Samsung T5 external drive and running the same programs to play the audio.
If I output the Macbook through its headphone jacks into the 1/8th mini jack and stream local the audio is fine.
FWIW I have only recently been using the Macbook Pro. It is running latest OSX with i7 and plenty of RAM.
Any speculation or resolution for this issues obviously greatly appreciated.
Thanks …
2020/04/06 at 9:39 pm #90802It is worth adding that you can assign different levels to each channel of any one or all four of the available FX.
Once the FX is instantiated you select that FX with the buttons on the lower right of the QU-16 (I think they’re in the same place on all the hardware, using the app would be different).
Then with the lower level selected on the channels simply raise the fader on any channel of interest to send to the selected FX. You should hear it immediately.
You repeat this for as many of the four available FX that you want to send to any specific channel.
You can also watch the FX on the LED when selected on the upper, single FX button below the Home button to see a tiny metering of the send level so you can be sure you are sending as intended.
2020/02/09 at 10:05 pm #8943422fuzzi: Duh! Wrong forum can be a problem. Thanks!
volunteer: Mono input not easy with recorded music playback. Thanks!
2020/02/07 at 8:21 pm #8939922fuzzi …
Thanks for responding! I really want to go the other way and turn the stereo input to mono so I can send mono out L and R mains.
On the Q16 I can’t find any screen that looks like the illustration. That’s why I asked if the screen shot was something only available on the iPad software app.
I plan to use the mixer in a club environment where there will be no need for stereo (or actually a disadvantage!)
When I select any of the stereo channels 1-3 and look through the processing, routing, etc. views and sub tabs on the LCD, I don’t find anything like this screen shot.
I must not be navigating properly?
Thanks for your help.
2020/02/07 at 6:02 pm #89394I just went thru the reference manual. On stereo channels there should be the imaging option in the preamp, which you can set to mono. If all stereo channels are set to mono and mono channels aren’t panned, there will be no difference between L and R out, so either one can be used to supply a full mono signal.
Is the screen shot showing the Pre-amp section something only available through the A&H Q16 software?
Thanks.
2019/08/15 at 9:04 pm #85890djam, thanks for the kudos. I am pleased this helped you out.
I’m really a novice at this without deep understanding. I’ll give my best shot at an answer, but if wrong, hopefully someone else will step in.
To adjust (as I understand) the two different vocal mixes independently, I think you need to mute the channels on the lower level, not the mixes, if you have them sharing the same FX.
The only way I can see to separate them so that the FX send from one vocal mix doesn’t bleed into the other mix is to use separate FXs for each.
Not sure which unit you have, but if you only have the 2 dedicated FX busses, remember you an use some of your Mixes for the other 2 FX engines for a total of 4.

2019/07/31 at 4:45 pm #85599@ Mike C … my last post. 🙂
You said: “Do you know has any one messed with the FX input output patching menu for the back of the FX units in the mixer? ”
Did you read my steps above? Did you find any error in my instruction of using the FX input output patching menu? Have I said I’ve had any problem getting FX signal working properly with respect to the patching?
The only thing I brought up in my last post you didn’t bother to address: sending pre fade from the FX Auxes to the Main and other Mixes.
Thanks anyway.
