    Cool. I had no idea. I can see that being useful.

    Muting the group is the same thing as muting individually.

    I’d guess you’re talking about mute groups, where you see the mute buttons flashing. I’m suggesting routing to a group, which has a master you can mute. Those are very different things.

    Route your channels to a group and mute the group.

    Don’t even need tielines, just input direct outs. I do this all the time, Dante multitrack to one computer and a mixed feed to the video computer.

    First, I’m assuming you have an SQ6 or SQ7, since the SQ5 doesn’t have soft rotaries. You can assign LR to A&B, but I don’t think there’s an output level available in the soft rotaries. You could send LR to a matrix and assign that to AB, with the matrix master on a soft rotary.

    Has to be something in routing.

    1- Power Down PA, PA Pops,

    How odd. Got processing in the rack? How are you powering it down?

    I never use the SQ shutdown. Dump the amps, dump eth system processing and stageboxes, power off the board.

    I believe the idea is that since it doesn’t(?) have battery backed RAM, they’re writing current state to some storage medium every once in a while. If you were to kill it while it was doing that, it might power up in an indeterminate state.

    Yamaha really missed the boat with not offering on-board multi-track recording capability.

    I disagree. Both USB and Dante available. When I track straight into my DAW, I can add channel names and song titles on the fly, and when it comes to mixdown there’s zero transfer time. Open the file and start mixing.

    Is it possible to switch the analog input to another preamp/analog input in the console/stage box the next time it happens?

    I have it Y cabled to an entirely different stagebox. Just need to switch the patching at the board if it happens again.

    The odds are somewhat against it being the cable. There are 20 or 30 cables in that crate. The same mic and channel faulted 3 times over the course of a month or more, and those cables have worked otherwise. I will pull the cable out of circulation if/when it happens again, though.

    Two nights on high hat duty and the channel’s been clean.

    coming from a board with dedicated knobs for ALL bands

    Agreed. I have never understood why the upgrade to the Qu as 1/4 of the EQ knobs. There was plenty of space, but they went with this arty layout instead.

    It’s also half the price of the D-Live/Avantis 64 channel Dante card. There are lots of reasons. Different channel counts. Technology changes. Some manufacturers make their own chips.

    With Giga-Ace Virtual Soundcheck is not possible as it cannot be conntected to PC.

    USB works just dandy for Virtual Soundcheck.

    There is still a solution using a 3rd party app, but I’m afraid you will say, it has to be done in the console.

    Yes, I can do this in Mixing Station, thanks. I think that’s the cleanest current workaround. However, as you are doubtless aware, it’s a function that is best located in the desk, so that it works everywhere, and still works if the tablet loses connection.

    You asked: “Is there really no way to link gains when ganging?” but you don’t take no for an answer.

    I have taken no. That’s the answer. This is further conversation, because I’m curious as to why this feature was left out. Odd thing to do in a forum labeled General Discussion, I know. And yes, a feature request is in the works.

    given your example of the obviously misorganized festival, I first and foremost feel sorry for the audience, secondarily for the musicians and of course also the crew.

    This festival is a annual small town Arts Council fundraiser, in which a shit load of local bands donate their time to cosplay bands that fit an annual theme, such as Colors or Food or Brothers or Bands With “&” In Their Name. It raises a large part of the annual budget for the arts council, is joyous and hilarious, and there are always more bands that want to play it than there are available slots. I’ve been mixing it for 20 years. As for the amount of professionalism or whether anyone is sorry to be there, you can be the judge.

    Thanks, @steine, that’s a clever workaround.
