Hi Keith,
Thanks for the reply. I didn’t realize that socket preamps could be controlled from the I/O screen, that solves the problem!
Regarding recording, I’m not planning on using the DAW for processing during recording. I think I get what you’re saying by using Tie Lines and the Input Channel Patch libraries. To confirm, when recording use Tie Lines to send signal to DAW, but monitor the live signal using the local (or SLink) inputs thereby allowing me to control the preamp from the rotary encoder as well as have minimal latency.
Then, when it is time to listen, simply switch all inputs to USB and monitor back through the board. Correct?While I could see this working for live recordings and virtual sound checks, this would not work in situations where overdubs are required and you must monitor through the DAW. So far, I’m not sure if I can get the latency down to an acceptable level when monitoring through the DAW. Just curious, what type of latency values have other users typically reported? I realize this is a loaded question as many factors contribute to latency.

2020/03/08 at 5:03 pm #90108I have also noticed this. I thought PFL Trim was so you can reduce the volume of the PAFL signal going to the headphones so that pre fader signals are not too loud compared to AFL signals. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, the PFL Trim also affects the meter LED’s making it impossible to use them to set the proper gain value. The signal flow diagram on page 99 of the manual shows the PAFL Meter after the PFL Trim now. I’m running firmware 1.4.4 on an SQ-5.
What is the purpose of the PFL Trim?

2018/05/08 at 10:15 pm #70914Hi Sound Doctor,
Glad you got your issue worked out. In the older versions of the firmware, there was no way to screw up Q drive recording, it was hard wired to the Insert Sends. Unfortunately, I just botched a recording for a band recently by inadvertently having Direct Outs selected in the I/O patch screen. I was shocked to discover my fader moves and mutes had been recorded to the hard drive, definitely a bummer. Also, I just confirmed that the I/O patch settings and Global Direct out settings are stored in each patch, so beware.
Do you happen to know if Insert Sends are the same as Direct Out with Post Preamp selected and Follow fader Off and Follow Mute Off?
If I set I/O patch to Insert Send, can I record to both the Q Drive and the USB Streaming to a computer for redundancy and not have to worry about the Global Direct Out settings?
Finally, is there a way to make the Q drive always default to Insert Send? I looked under the Global Filter in the Scene menu but couldn’t find anything.Just trying to prevent future mishaps.
Cheers,

2014/05/27 at 1:57 pm #39934I’m thinking though, the best thing might be to unassign mics/DIs/laptop inputs from main mix and then un-muting channels will result in sound in monitors but not FOH.
This seems like the easiest way to accomplish your goal, and it is quick to un-assign/assign channels as needed by holding the Assign button and selecting the necessary channels.
2014/05/27 at 3:53 am #39922You could simply use the Mute button on the master fader to simply kill the sound to FOH only. Of course, the monitors will be live so watch out for folks unplugging instruments, etc.
2014/04/16 at 7:44 pm #39130Thanks for pointing this out, a subtle feature it is then!
2014/04/16 at 6:23 pm #39128pan control for each stereo mix bus, so panning information would get lost (at least I think that’s how it works
Yup, good catch on the pan control, you are correct that it will not be mirrored..
2014/04/16 at 2:14 am #39114As a workaround you could always use an extra stereo mix bus, assign all channels post fader, then bring all faders feeding the mix bus up to unity gain. This will allow you to mirror the left right mix with the exception of the master fader. Then, simply PAFL this mix bus and compare to the left right mix feeding FOH.
2014/04/16 at 2:03 am #39112Thanks for confirming! It seems that the PFL Trim is inadvertently affecting AFL sources when listening out of the headphone jack. I hope they fix this with the next update.

Also if you want to use a laptop, you can record and start and stop as you are accustomed to doing. Use the USB drive as a backup, running continuously.
What a great idea Lou. For critical recordings you can record to both the Qu-drive and a laptop? I didn’t know you could do that. My StudioLive locked up once during a show while recording to a laptop. I later found out the laptop had some bad sectors on the hard drive, this crashed the laptop during the gig while writing 16 tracks of audio; if the laptop crashes then the StudioLive loses Firewire sync and usually does not recover well from my experience. I never trusted to the StudioLive after that experience and rarely recorded anymore. Many times simply hooking up the laptop would cause the board to stop passing audio, even when following the proper hookup protocol as outlined in the StudioLive manual.
