David, would it be possible to add Follow Console, like the X32 version has?

USB-Stick Sandisc Extrem 32GB

The USB 3.0 one does. The 3.1 version that replaces it doesn’t.

[nottooloudParticipant]

you say most USB pen drives are not suitable but why? what spec do I need on a usb device to work? I cannot keep guessing.

This is insanely frustrating. I have a couple dozen different USB sticks, some new, some dating back many years. Exactly 1 is even recognized by my QU-32. Won’t multitrack without errors, but at least I can archive my scenes on it. It’s a SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 64GB. In smaller type it says SDCZ48-064G. OK, I’ll get some more of those, only 32GB since all I will put on them is 300 kb of scene data. Same name, and SDCZ48-032G. Surprise, the QU-32 won’t read or format them. I preformatted them in 3 other computers first, Macs and PCs, but that made no difference.

Not all of my USB hard drives work, either. And the idea that I need to carry around a 500GB spinning disk hard drive with a cable in order to archive or transfer some 26KB scene data files just boggles me.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Every crappy computer made in the last 20 years will recognize any stick you put into it, at least well enough to format it. What is the problem? Is it hardware? OS drivers? Does the SQ share the same flaw? Fix it, please, Mssrs Allen and Heath.

I’d love to see you implement local scene saving on the tablet. There’s no offline editor available, and MSP could fill that role. It’s also become really hard to find USB sticks that even work for Qu-Drive data, let alone recording, making it impossible to transfer or archive scenes, and MSP could fill that role.

By the way, the RTA on the EQ page is the big plus of the APP

I agree. I bought my QU-32 and am selling my Soundcraft Impact *because* of the app.

[nottooloudParticipant]

What IP address is your phone?

[nottooloudParticipant]

Oh, interesting question. I’ll have try that. I’d guess not, because if you move either fader in a pair, they both do, and a missing fader reads as full up, +10, every time you change sends or layers.

For my own use, I always have 1 channel with an omni condenser plugged in at FOH to feed SMAART and to record hall ambience, so I don’t actually need that fader for anything.

[nottooloudParticipant]

I wish I thought they knew they have to fix it for either. Evidently the SQ still has the ridiculous issues with USB stick compatibility. I’ve heard that it relates to their choice of Linux OSes, but that seems unlikely. We shall see.

[nottooloudParticipant]

Found another hole in the communications. If I do an EQ reset on the mixer, press Reset and EQ enable, MSP doesn’t see it. Then if I change an EQ parameter in MSP, the mixer jumps from flat to that old value.

[nottooloudParticipant]

I’m on firmware 1.93.

Your shelf EQ visualization is much too steep. I can confirm that A@H’s is accurate, it starts affecting a 200 Hz tone when you set it anywhere right of the minimum. I would prefer your slope, it could do a halfway job toward replacing the missing high pass on outputs. 🙂

Yes, I’d love to have the Qu-Drive function be optional, for more accessible units.

[nottooloudParticipant]

What do you expect A&H to do? Intel USB3 chips can’t support proper USB2 behaviour.

It’s like demanding that shell makes your Saab fly because Saab made some jets in the past and shell petrol is what you’ve used…

Intel messed up their chipset… A&H software can’t do magic. An ECU mapping change won’t get 1000 horsepower from a three cylinder 400cc engine.

My Soundcraft Impact doesn’t have this problem.
My Behringer XR18 doesn’t have this problem.
My Focusrite 18i20 doesn’t have this problem.
My MOTU 8Pre doesn’t have this problem.
My Sound Devices USBPre 2 doesn’t have this problem.
The Behringer X32s I’ve recorded from don’t have this problem.
I’ve never heard of any device but this one having this problem.

Perhaps it’s not Intel’s problem?

[nottooloudParticipant]

The answer is, it’s tough. Double sided bard with SMB components, very difficult to desolder. Pretty good chance of destroying the board by removing a fader. A&H recommended replacing the entire fader bank to another poster. That’s 16 or 17 $33 faders and a populated circuit board. $500?

Anyway, my fader #32 is now installed in place of my dead fader #2, and I take my new Qu-31 out to its first show tomorrow.

[nottooloudParticipant]

Have you used it before? Seems like I get that first time I run the app on a new device, before it’s set up its directories.

[nottooloudParticipant]

Should be working with this new update. I haven’t tried it yet, won’t be on a Qu until Saturday.

[nottooloudParticipant]

I also seem to be topped out at 2 devices, which may be since this update that just happened. I thought I had three running before.

There’s a possible hole in communications between the mixer and MSP. I set up a mix on Mix 5/6, did a Copy Mix, and pasted that mix to 7/8 and 9/10. MSP didn’t update. I had to disconnect and reconnect for it to show the changed mixes.
