And that means most owners of this desk will simply power it off cause doing it right is too hard.

As alluded to, we expect functions that are common on most desks we encounter at or around the price point. Admittedly I am a bit frustrated that development of the GLD stalled so soon. I am sure the lack of side chain inputs to the gate & compressor were engineering oversights though a bit unforgivable given the initial price point for that desk. I think it was 3 times the cost of the SQ with stage box.
I bought my SQ for an event in 3 weeks that requires a ducker. The QU has it and the dLive has it. The SQ has the side chain input but is lacking many of the common gate & compressor library functions. I have now to explain why the new mixer can’t do the job. Embarrassing.
So, for me, my priorities are the ducker, mono matrix, show files and off line editor.
I do like the desk and I hope the rest of the features show up soon.
Thanks for listening to my rant…
2018/04/05 at 1:49 pm #70124Please update list to include SQ series.
2018/04/05 at 12:37 pm #70122The card slot is not compatible with the older M series cards. Sigh… My M-Dante card won’t fit.
2018/04/04 at 2:53 pm #70100Ah, the rotary encoder. I didn’t try that. I will today. Thanks.
The upgrade process required entering the serial number which is not on the diagnostic screen along with other useful info. So, it involved uninstalling the mixer to access the lower rear and balancing the flashlight, pencil & paper.
Since I had already entered the SN as part of registration of the mixer, you could have supplied a drop down of registered products to choose one for upgrade.
In upgrade of the firmware, it was rather unpredictable as to if the mixer would recognize the USB stick.
The first one I tried was recognized and I formatted it. I downloaded the update to my MacBook and put it on the stick. The SQ recognized the stick again and found the update. The update started ok, then failed with an error saying it could not write the (not sure of exact words) non volatile memory.
I got another USB stick and tried to do it again. This time I had to format it on a windows machine for the SQ to see it. I formatted it on the SQ and this time downloaded the update to the windows computer. I didn’t notice that instead of downloading the binary as on the Mac, it was a zip file so the SQ didn’t see the update. Back to the PC and unpacked the binary. Then, the SQ never (after minutes) finished “checking” the USB so I removed it and tried again. Same thing.
I got a 3rd USB, formatted it on the SQ, put the binary on it from the Mac again and this time the update worked.
All three USB sticks worked just fine on both my MacBook and my window laptop.
After all that I went through the complex process of upgrading the plug in.2018/04/04 at 2:25 pm #70099Thank you for replying and the good news.
2018/04/03 at 10:47 pm #70080The v1.2 update introduces the ability to change colors. Same color choices as the GLD.
2018/04/03 at 10:42 pm #70079With regard to using the GLD and SQ via Dante…
There has been some talk that the Dante card for the SQ & dLive are 96k and therefore do not interoperate with the 48k Dante cards.
I hope that is not the case. It would be well if a definitive source could clear this up. My LS9 and my GLDs talk via Dante just fine. I hope my SQ will too.
2018/04/03 at 10:30 pm #70078Speaking of side chains, I only see inputs 1-8 as available for the side chain. How do I get other sources (such as the rest of the inputs, groups, auxes or matrices)?
2018/04/03 at 10:28 pm #70077I have 2 GLD80 mixers and have been very disappointed that ducking was never implemented.
The Ilive, QU and dLive all have it. All my previous Yamaha mixers have it. I hoped to replace my aging LS9-32 but alas I still need it for the duckin functionality. It’s a shame to haul out this huge desk for shows with 10 inputs just to get the ducker.
I was led to believe that the SQ would have it too. I waited till after v1.2 came out. My mixer arrived yesterday and I could not find ducking. Now I find that yet again I have invested in A&H and am disappointed.
The SQ seems really nice but drastically unfinished. Heck, mine came with v1.0 firmware and it took me way too many hours to update it and the tube plugin. In fact, re enabling the tube was the most frustrating and unnecessarily complicated process. Is A&H trying to drive away all the fans they are finally attracting after all these years?
2014/04/06 at 6:05 pm #38794Update.
I have confirmed that I can insert inputs & outputs from the AR2412.
I cannot from the surface I/o or a local AR84. I have not tested an AR84 as an expander on the AR2412 but I expect it to work given that trying output 17/18 gets set to 15/16 when you apply it.
I guess if I had another 100 cat5 cable I could wire it that way.I did open a ticket on this.
2014/04/05 at 7:25 pm #38762Yes, please. I posted this much earlier. The lack is a show stopper for me. I have to keep my LS9 for this function.
2013/10/21 at 3:36 pm #35400While the Dante card is expensive (perhaps a talk with your distributor could get you a better price?) it is in line with other options. I need 2 cards for my Yamaha and at $1000 I only get 32 channels so the card for the GLD seems reasonable.
To an above comment, what is the issue with licenses?
