Many thanks for the tip. I’ll drop in and see if they have a TD who’ll take pity on an aging rock star (wannabe) without demanding repentance for a debauched lifestyle before they’ll give me the techno lesson. I can but hope.

Thanks Joel,
I liked your website and recordings. Indeed San Francisco is beautiful, but boy, can it get cold. We’ve had over 60 inches of rain (avg 34) but as of today through most of next week the weather will be back in the high 70’s-80’s. Shouldn’t complain – I’ve got water in my well again. Sonoma (County) is very pretty – cycling is wonderful.

Back to my ineptitude with the QU16, If you have any suggestions for me, feel free to pass then on. I need all the help I can get, and not surprisingly it’s the odd things like sending a stereo mix back to the Drummer, a stereo mix to the IEM and various mixes to the floor monitors that don’t have how to videos. We are a rather loud band and have a lot of issues with feedback, mostly from the lead vocalist and lead guitar. Our last sound man started losing his sanity – might well be the reason he quit.

Have you ever given any assistance via skype?

Hi Joel77,
I’m suffering life in Sebastopol, CA. The weather, music, wine etc is just too much for a simple man. But I’ll take the hit for everyone else. 🙂

[Harle000Participant]

Many Thanks. That helps a lot in helping me identify where I can get help. I think there are one or two ‘mini studios’ here in town.

Thanks [XAP]Bob,
I’ll do just that, must be a local Church or venue with knowledge of Allen and Heath mixers.

[Harle000Participant]

Thanks Bob. Our ‘Sound man’ quit and I’m trying to fill his boots. Watched all the videos, read the manual. I can now just about spell ‘QU16’.

Many Thanks for the info, but I’m, afraid I’m even more confused now.
I started again (reset board).
I have in Master Fader the SEL & LR led on. Channel layer selected.Faders 1&2 (from AX8) up, as well as vox on 3 & 4.
FX1=Reverb (Mix->Return) (FX1)
FX2=Delay (Mix-Return) (FX2)
Out to LR
Aux out 9&10 to monitors.

I want FX1 on Vox channel 3 to FOH
I want FX2 on Vox channel 4 to Monitors not foh
I want guitar on channels 1 & 2 with no FX to both FOH and monitors.

So with starting from Master Strip SEL & LR with faders on:
1. I press FX1 (all faders set at 0) I set master fader & channel 4 fader up – I hear FX1 applied only FOH.
2. I select MIX 9&10. faders up for channels 1,2 &3. I hear all in monitors ( as well as Vox 4 with FX1 in FOH)
3. I select FX2. increase Fader 3. Change FX2 to (Mix>Return) (Mix 9-10). I now have Channel 3 with FX2 in Monitor and FOH

4. (I think as per your instructions) Select Master Strip SEL (This has been on all the time) and LR selected now still with Channel layer selected I press assign key (all SEL light up) and I press SEL key to FX2 Ret. Now when I press Assigh key all SEL light up except FX2 Rtn.

I still hear channel 3 with delay in FOH?
Sorry I’m just really rather confused.

Thanks Andreas,
What steps do I take to ‘Unassign’ from LR, and only send FX2 to MIX 9&10?
Thanks
H

[Harle000Participant]

Sorry should have said this is a QU16.
H

[Harle000Participant]

Many thanks. I’ll give it a go. I appreciate the help.

[Harle000Participant]

Thanks for the prompt response. As I must be as thick as a whale sandwich is the following correct:
Same channels 1 & 2 instruments, 3 & 4 voice.
1. Process the channels, FX as required on vocals.
2. Select Mix 7/8. Do I press SEL on Master strip, or the Mix Assign and SEL for channels 1 & 2 then use Pan (left), do I press anything else before Mix Assign and SEL for 3 & 4 and panning right?
I seem to keep getting a mono signal through my IEM hence my reason for trying to get the exact process.
Thanks

Is this training only be available through the Q Drive? or can I download it, play on my PC. I’m a real newbie and got into some hicups re setting channels into monitor Mixes, and how to assign 4 channels into a stereo IEM mix.
