On my QU-16, as I turn the value knob, my top layer LED (blue) dims and then goes out completely just a ms before the screen goes dark. The yellow custom layer LED and green bottom layer LED never go away entirely.
2015/11/25 at 6:28 pm #52300Edit to my post-
to access the channel source menu:
press the Setup button
choose I/O Patch
choose USB Audio
press CH/ST source (bottom of page)
choose Insert Sends2015/11/25 at 6:14 pm #52299I record through the QU-16 every day and I’ve not had that issue at all. The fidelity of the recordings is excellent. I don’t know if this is the trouble, but make sure you are recording from the Insert Sends rather than Direct. From page 66 in the pdf manual:
CH/ST/Grp source button
Set this to Insert Sends if you do not want the input channel and group USB sends to be affected by the mixer processing (EQ, Comp, Gate, Delay). This sends the raw Preamp and unprocessed Group signals to the USB stream and is the typical setting for live recording.
Set this to Direct Outs if you want the input channel USB sends to follow the channel global Direct Output option. It also sets the Group sends to be post- processing and post-fader. This is the typical setting for studio recording (working with a DAW).
Note – The global Direct Output option affects all inputs and is set in the channel Routing screen.If you are looking for the cleanest signal path, set your recording source to Insert Sends. If you use the QU for recording, you’ll find the manual lacking and confusing. (But the desk is not, luckily!)
2015/11/25 at 5:53 pm #52297Thanks for that, Richee. I think I’ll update to 1.82 today.
I appreciate that you took the time to come back to the thread and posted to let us know what was going on. Cheers.2015/11/25 at 7:38 am #52289I’ve had the flickering after a firmware update on every update I’ve installed on my QU-16. I was afraid the first time I saw it but now I just shut down and reboot and it is fine.
I’m anxious to check out the new features, but I’ll be waiting to see if anyone has issues with this update. I skipped the last one.
2015/11/17 at 4:06 am #52152You can save many “scenes” that include all parameters including effects, then change the “scene” as the music plays while you are mixing. But as was mentioned, there is no automation of motion- you must use a DAW to record your fader or knob movements.
2015/11/15 at 1:14 am #52096Yes, it works well. I was using it today. Send it out a stereo mix output. You’ll need to hook it up with two balanced to unbalanced cables- XLR female pin 3 (cold) to pin 1 (ground) > 1/4″ TS male. Then you just need two 1/4″ TS male to male cables to bring it back to the mixer.
It sounds so nice. Today I cleared space in the Big Sky to make presets for an upcoming project. I dialed in some beautiful rooms and halls as well as some really off the wall rhythmic reverbs.
2015/11/07 at 7:53 pm #51941Thanks for the response, Richee. I think I’ll wait until the next update to install the firmware, I’m in the middle of a project right now and I like to be cautious.
2015/11/06 at 8:38 pm #51935Any further information about the crackling? @Richee and jonnyweston- have either of you had continuing problems? Or did you find a culprit or solution for the noise?
Still waiting to install the 1.8 update…
2015/10/27 at 5:55 pm #51717Ok, thanks for the reply.
2015/10/27 at 4:52 pm #51710Overall how is 1.8 for everybody? Any issues? I’ve got the QU-16 and no dSnake.
Thanks.2015/10/23 at 8:56 am #51602I’m using the QU-16 every day in our studio. My only complaint is I wish I’d gotten the QU-24 for more in/outs. But I don’t have room and that would have stretched my budget a bit.
Pros-
With Logic it’s been completely painless to set up and record. It just works.
I like the preamps, I love the converters. Excellent sound. The mixer itself is silent in use, the preamps are quiet.
Great workflow. There are a few menus hidden in strange places, but mostly it is very easy to use.
Great build quality.
Great service from A & H, constant updates.
Lots of inputs and outputs.Cons-
The power switch is difficult to reach.
Like most audio products, the headphone output is on the right side even though almost all headphones input at the left ear.
I wish the compressor had a sidechain function.I think that’s it. Not many cons, it’s a wonderful mixer for a small studio.
2015/10/02 at 8:24 pm #51037I’d like that and also a way to link 1 & 2, 3 & 4.
2015/09/30 at 7:43 pm #50982Spectrograph is much appreciated. Looking forward to 1.8.
Thanks A & H.2015/08/14 at 6:25 pm #49843@[XAP]Bob- I haven’t spent much time using the custom layer, but the ability to hide one of the linked faders is just what I need. I’m going to get this set up today. Thanks for the good idea.
