Hi Lee,

thee QU-SB is the perfect mixer for my needs and i totally understand, that the „Balance-Feature“ will most likeky not being implemented. Maybe no Feature Update at all will be implemented, but that won‘t keep me from trying. 😏
The original feature request is also something different, and maybe not as hard to implement. So lets stick to that and bury the stereo balance. 🤘

Btw.: which product would you recommend to look at?
Is there anything new, like the qu-sb? As i said, i really think the SB is a great, good sounding, feature rich product, which i think i really „Max out“ today. And this missing feature – to unlink the faders on sends“ is something i can work around, and is more of a comfort feature.

Hi Steffen,

As we are talking digital, software controlled mixers, everything should be possible.
But anyways, the original request is to unlink faders in all sends, not only the main bus, which would also accomplish my needs.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Steffen,

thanks for the clarification of the right wording, but the issue stays the same. 😉

best regards

Hello Neil,

thanks for your thoughts and efforts.
The “Panpots” can be unlinked and then are unlinked for all mixes (as far as i remember, can’t test either now 🙂 ) .
What can only be unlinked for the main bus is the channel fader itself, so i can’t use my own workaround (adjust the faders on the mix bus) as long as the channel is linked.

But i still insist:
There should be an option to change the behaviour of the “PanPots” in linked channels to make them work like on an “original” Stereo Bus, like the ST-1 – ST-3 for example.
If you use these channels, the Pan behaves exactly as i want it to behave.

Hi Neil,

i think, this is the same idea, that Giga came up with. Isn’t it?

Is your goal to try to pan these stereo instruments so that you can place the instruments in various positions in the stereo field for your in ear mix?
-> Yes
I’m not at my mixer now but are you saying the unlink panning option won’t allow you to, for example, pan the left channel hard left and bring the right channel to somewhere closer to centre so that instrument sounds like it’s placed to the left in the in ears?
-> Not really as i would expect it to work. I sure can unlink the panning, BUT as i tried to describe above, this only collapses the stereo field and might also introduce phasing issues. What i want to achieve (and what a normal panpot on a “real” stereo channel does – refer to ST-1 on the QU-SB for example: It attenuates the left / right side it simply gets quieter, but it does not “move” the channel to the other side.
I understand that the mixer is working, like a normal analog desk would work, so my solution as described above is the same work around, like i would use on an analog desk, but it would be much nicer, if the pan option would change its behaviour as soon as i link channels.

I hope this makes it clearer?

I’m not quite sure, if i understand your advice, but as far as i know, the only solution to this now (on a QU-Series, especially a QU-SB) is to simply not linking the channels at all.
This remains / restores full control over both channels and i can handle them individually.
The downside to this is, that i have to edit all the other settings, that i would like to stay linked like EQ’s, Mutes, Gate, Compressor, … twice – once on each channel.

So this takes us back to my initial feature request. 🙂

Hi giga,

thanks for your thoughts, but that doesn’t do the trick.
I’m aware of the unlink option for panning, and it’s true, that you can move the pan pots individually then, but this does not help!
All you achieve, is that you pan the right channel more to left (for example) but that does neither achieve what a normal panpot is doing nor what i intend to do.
It only results in collapsing the stereo image of the source! This is why i state: The panpots of a linked channel are totally wasted, as they MUST stay in full L/R Position to do what a linked (stereo) channel is intended for.

What we need to do is to lower the volume on one side (which is roughly spoken, what a normal panpot on a mono channel, or a true stereo channel does)

greets
Stefan
