If you’ve “Linked” the two channels, the pan control for either channel becomes a stereo width control.

Forget my post above. It’s still morning here and my brain did not register your post correctly. Do what Mfk0815 wrote.

Using headphones to judge a mix is just that. It’s what the mix sounds like in your headphones. Headphones with a flat response are better than those that color the sound such as enhanced bass, which may make your livestream sound sound thin on consumer headphones and devices. Best case would be to set up a room isolated from the live sound with a feed from your mix channel feeding computer speakers and adjust with an iPad.

Odd/Even pairs of input channels can also be linked together for stereo instruments. One fader will control both the left and right channel and the pan control becomes a width control.

Just buy yourself a 4 input usb interface for your computer and use those to feed the 2trk and alt outputs on the board into your computer. Or get some adapters to use the mic and line inputs on your computer.

I would say carefully adjusted gates would give you a cleaner mix than AMM.

[garyhParticipant]

Yes, it’s possible. No one is stopping you. But will you get a pleasing mix? I doubt it.

Another possible way is to use a computer running the Mix Station program at the church and Remote Desktop to this computer from home.

The Qu apps require the iPad to be on the same local network (Local Area Network) as the board. Some people put the board on their main network with a WiFi access point or router also attached and use the Qu apps wirelessly. Others, like our church, attach the board directly to a WiFi router, separate from the churches main LAN. To control the board remotely from home, you have to create a VPN tunnel from the remote location, through the internet, and to the churches LAN where the board is connected. This way the remote Qu app is actually connected to the churches network.

If the VPN is connected to the same LAN that the Qu is connected to, they can connect to the LAN through the VPN.

When we were live streaming to Vimeo, the delay was around 20 seconds. Not realistic to control remotely. If you were to set up a VPN to the soundboard, I would also use it for a dedicated video feed to lessen the delay.

There is a command line program called Sox, which can output stats of an audio file. Create a script that iterates through each file, running Sox stats on each, parse the output, and exclude those with an average amplitude of 0.0.

When you play back, your ST1 recording will show up on channels 17/18 (where they were recorded to). Make sure you have channels 17/18 set to receive from usb for playback.

[garyhParticipant]

I believe you need to change the IP address of your Ethernet 2 adapter (I’m assuming this is the adapter you have direct connected to the Qu) to something like 10.0.0.2. It can’t be the same as the address of your Qu. You also may need a cross-over cable when doing a direct connection.

[garyhParticipant]

Make sure you’ve updated to the latest firmware. It specifically addresses this problem.
