In the IO set up for the USB output on tracks 1 & 2 select that group number.

I DID IT!
The scary part for me was un-patching main LR from the USB output, seeing it remove itself every-time seemed off to me, and since I know nothing about digital mixer programming, I’m afraid to make changes that cause more problems for me.

However, It seems that group 1 was already matching the main LR faders, but I didn’t configure that myself, so Ill leave well enough alone, and simply assign all our active channels via the routing screen to group 1 now, and everything should carry over so long as I don’t forget anything new in the future.

Mike, Im struggling grasping the concept of removing and adding these channels so I hope these pictures show up when I post this reply.

Step 1, channel 9 is the channel I want for a room mic (I don’t have two mics but eventually will for full stereo, but we just need something up asap for a new organist that is playing)

So I’ve selected the channel, switched to routing, then turned off the main LR collum.

Next I went to group1 channel, switched to it’s routing and did the same, I roved MainLR from group1, after all, I assume anything pointed torwards group1 would inevitably come out in the mains if I left mainLR active on group1 (?)

Lastly, I went to the I/O, selected OUTPUTS, MIX Out, then USB at the top, and added group1l and group1r to patch 3 and 4.

Unfortunately I don’t really know what I’m doing at this point, and I don’t know how to send 9 to group1.

Although I’m half way there, as I see a signal coming from channel 9 and it’s not going into the house so I have that going for me.

Are you sending multiple tracks to computer via USB, or is it just a copy of L&R, from a matrix, or stereo mix?

Thanks for the rply, from what I remember over the phone, we simply copied “L&R” to something somewhere in the i/o menu, but it is also stero in house, as well as on the computer.

The configuration is perfect for me and works well, for the exception of this room mic dilemma.

To expand on it: I am not sending multiple tracks for recording or using an audio editor, I’m using the USB out just for for OBS (which is a live streaming platform on the computer). The OBS program detects the sq5 as a audio device, and receives a single stereo signal (or track if you will), directly outputting whatever I do on the face and in house.

Because of the way its configured (and my preference) I’m introduced to the more advanced methods of a digital mixer so I’m at a loss with the menu options and how to configure it.

I want the track and slider to remain on the face of the console, so when I switch to headphones I can still have access to that slider and can hear the changes if I make them (but only heard in the USB out, since my headphones will be direct monitoring from the live stream.)

unassign it from the main mix and turn all aux sends off and make sure it’s not assigned to a bus (group) and send the mics with a direct out (IP direct outs) to the USB

Thanks for this, I’m gonna take some of the terms you mentioned and concentrate on the user guide you provided and see what I can figure out, because I’m not what sure what the process is when you say “unassign it from the main mix”

However, when you say turn off the auxes, I’m guessing you are referring to selecting the track, hitting “routing”, then touching “mix sends” area with my finger on the lcd screen. I can get there, and can easily see where I can turn off all the main sends. Thats as far as I understand, because at this point, if I turn off MainLR, that would also mute it entirely on the live stream as well. (…right???)

Referring to the guide now but feel free to follow up.
