This is how you do it. 1) Use a group and add only the two MIC channels to that group with their faders set at unity (0). 2) Set the group’s fader to unity (0). 3) Remove the group from the main LR mix by selecting the LR mix and turning the group off in the MIX display. 4) Select the ST1 channel and turn the Ducker/Inset switch to ‘Ducker’. 5) Switch the ducker on with the ‘Ducker’ button. 6) go to the Ducker screen and select ‘Grp 1 L’ (or whatever group you used) as the Trigger input. 7) Adjust the depth value to how much you want it to duck. Done 🙂

Hi Folks, I know this is an older post but I have been trying to get a similar setup running.
Regarding the reference From Mr.X above to Rune Audio as a possible solution, I encountered the following issues:
1) On a RPi4 and 3B+, I could not get Rune to play audio using my QU-Sb as a USB audio device. On a RPi2 I could get playback but the mp3 files played at about 10x the normal speed.
2) I could not get Rune to connect to the Access point in my stage rack (Apple AirPort) that we use to run Qu-You. I can’t confirm my suspicion but I think it’d because Rune can’t see the internet from the access point so it won’t connect. Some folks from the Rune site dispute this but the fact is it won’t connect, when every other app will!!!!

I’m going to try Volumio next, I’ll ley you know how I go.

What exactly does your comment mean? Under your definition are the X32 or the Presonus or all the other similar products not mixing consoles? Or is there some other special word for a mixing console with a built in sub feed that I don’t know? What about the onboard effects, don’t they make the Qu an effects rack? What about the recording ability, does that make it a mutitrack recorder? If you are going to be pedantic we could go on forever… The Qu is a very nice mixing console with some better features than it’s competitors and some unfortunate omissions, excuse me for mentioning one of them and upsetting your whole world!

Two things:
The ambient mic on the ME-1 goes some way to helping with the isolation felt when using IEM, it doese NOT stop the vocals from sounding harsh and dry. The fact that the latest Aviom 360 has included a reverb effect specially for this vindicates my statement.

I was not expecting “something” as a crossover, I was as expecting a proper filter with selectable LR modes etc, Just like a Behrringrr X32 that is a couple of years older than this unit. Even my old Mackie analogue desk has A Sub output. So please don’t tell me that my expectations are unrealistic and some BS about it not being part of the PA. I bought the Qu-SB to replace the X32 for live gigs, only to discover that I now needed to go and spend some more money and modify my amp rack.
Yes, it is my own fault for not checking, but that does not preclude me from voicing my opinion, one which it seems I am not alone in voicing on this forum.

Thanks Andreas
How do I stop the FX return from going to the LR please?

[Simon]

Unfortunately I don’t think its possible to not route the returns to the main bus 🙁

This seems to be a bit of an issue for the ME-1, it kind of makes it useless! Every article I have ever read about IEM says that you need a bit of reverb in the mix. I have one on loan for testing and this is exactly why! it’s one of those things you kind of assume will be possible and only discover later that it isn’t. Kind of like the lack of a low pass filter on any of the outputs!
Walk into any bar these days and you will see that most acts use a sub, having to purchase a drive rack or crossover is ridiculous for a mixer that is supposed to be a modern one stop “do it all” mixer 🙁
Sorry, but I get mad just thinking about it 🙂

[Simon]

Yes, LPF & HPF on the outputs PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! 🙂 Then I can throw my faulty Driverack in the bin!
