Okay, that’s fair… I don’t like forum trolls either. But I do agree with him/her that a QSG for the mobile app would be nice.

Steffen… who hurt you???

The installer did ten hours of training with us on the console, which was very useful. They also tuned the room, and created Scene 1 on the SQ-6 as a default, and instructed us to copy that over to Scenes 2 through whatever the last slot is, and use the copies to make changes and new settings. That way, if/when we mess up something, we’ve always got a default to fall back on.

At that point, we didn’t have the SQ-6 on the network. I thought I had understood the vendor to say that we would need a dedicated wireless router attached to the SQ-6 to keep it totally off the main network, and I didn’t have that in place. However, I’ve put it on the existing church LAN, and have had no problems. I’m the only one using the mobile app, so I haven’t been able to ask our sound techs for advice on my original question.

Our sound techs are very savvy, and have dived into all of the tutorials and videos to learn stuff. I’m probably the weak link in the chain, but today you’ve helped me become a little stronger, for which I thank you!

Many acoustical treatments were applied to the sanctuary — that resolved a great deal of the inherent problems with the room’s original design. And other equipment was added to achieve delivery of sound, including several pairs of main speakers throughout the room rather than only one pair at the front.

I recall thinking at the time that the SQ was probably a bit better than we needed, but I’ve always erred on the side of having more capacity for the future, even if we don’t know when that will be. The SQ-6 has recently become even more useful as we’re now shifting to broadcasting our worship services in this new era of self-quarantine and social distancing, so we’ve created new scenes that send audio out to a PC in certain groups.

Are those pictures what your APP look like.

Just tap the right side buttons to select the mode you want.

Hi Mike — yes, that’s what my MixPad app looks like. I didn’t understand before that Aux on the app is the same as Mix on the console.

This mixer replaced a Peavey FX-32, which would never have been the right choice for our very large, echo-y church sanctuary. Last year we hired a vendor to do some acoustic modeling and then install a decent, professional grade audio system as well as mitigate the fact that consonants were indistinguishable, while vowels bounced endlessly. The church was built in 1962, and went through several audio system replacements, each one promising to get it right. None did. Our vendor did a very thorough job of analyzing our space, and $90k later, all spoken words are clearly understood throughout the entire sanctuary. The SQ-6 was their recommendation for a board that could accomplish phase-timed delivery of sound to multiple channels simultaneously, or something like that. I’ve been very impressed with the mixer, and figured there had to be a way to access Mixes in the app.

The SQ-6 was also recommended because one of my criteria for a new board was the ability to control it remotely, such as when I’m sitting at the organ console and no sound tech is present. And even when our tech staff is in the booth, they can’t hear what the monitors sound like up in the choir loft where I am, and it’s much easier if I can make adjustments directly to that mix.

Thanks for the clarification, Mike. I have set up mixes. On the console, I get into them by selecting the blue Mix 1, Mix 2 or Mix 3 buttons below the Main L/R button toward the right end of the console. I suppose that makes them a mix/aux?

the problem the topic starter has, is that simple to solve
there are so many possibilities to find the answer

While I am so sorry to have upset you by asking for help, I would point out that the video you shared doesn’t answer my original question.

Mix groups have already been set up. By me, if you can believe it.

Once again, my question is how to access the mix groups in the iPad app. I can control L/R Main just fine, but am not sure how IN THE MOBILE APP to toggle to control Mixes 1, 2 or 3.

Thanks to those of you who provided helpful answers.
