I use the Littlite for my Qu, GLD and GL mixers.

+1 for GLD survey.

Do you think there would be a good market for a Qu 8 ? Smaller yet, for singer/songwriter, duo, trio, and good for the home recordist. I am a sound provider for everything from outdoor multi-band festivals to small duet/solo artist gigs. The Qu 16 works well for small bands, but something smaller would be nice too. I use a Zed for my really small shows, but going digital there would be nice too.

One of the things that I like best about my Qu and GLD gear is that they can all share the same dSnake boxes. Redundancy and interchangeability makes these 2 product lines work well together when going out to do various sized shows.

[ScottParticipant]

I haven’t tried it, but you might want to give VMWare a try. It works well for running Windows under Linux.

[ScottParticipant]

I use the iPad 2 all the time with mine. Confirm that the Qu-16’s IP address is not static, and that if it is, that it matches the current subnet being used by your router. If the mixer’s IP is part of a different subnet, then that would explain your problem.

[ScottParticipant]

The GLD is great as it is. Minimally I would like to see the iPad ap updated, but a few new firmware perks would be nice too.

GLD is extremely usable as is, and I use mine constantly and have also installed one in our church. If the current feature set works for your needs, then go for it. Even if it doesn’t get upgraded again, it is still loaded with great features as it sits.

Or even a zoom control on the play line.

[ScottParticipant]

Looking forward to hearing how it goes. I have a lot of gigs booked for my Qu Pac over the next couple of months.

Amazon has a good return policy too, so that would probably be your best route.

[ScottParticipant]

the GLD you spend the whole time switching between layers

Not if it’s properly configured. The only time that I have to change layers is during sound check. Once things are up and running, you can generally work on a single layer by using DCAs and/or subgroups. On the app side, it’s the same as Qu, having custom layers in the app.

Not musical to mix on at all.

Not sure what you meant by that, because you are literally using the same pre-amps and converters if you are using the remote stage boxes and the Qu algos are based on GLD’s and iLive’s.

[ScottParticipant]

I was actually considering trying it with only the 5GHz enabled. I may give that a go this coming weekend.

[ScottParticipant]

Both legs share the same SSID, so the iPad should be able to choose the best frequency for the given situation.

[ScottParticipant]

Is the GLD Remote app more responsive when actually connected, rather than in the Demo or off-line mode?

It works about the same as the Qu app. The faders are a little shorter than the Qu but the response is about the same in both Qu and GLD.

A next level up from QU32

GLD? It’s a really great console to work with. I love the feature set, and the extreme flexibility, and the fact that it can share stageboxes with Qu.

[ScottParticipant]

I ran another show this weekend on the Qu Pac and had no issues this time around.

Mike, the static IP for the mixer would probably be a good idea. This is one thing that the GLD mixers had setup by default so I stuck with it on them, and have never had a connection problem. On my Qu mixers they are still dynamic, but I think that I will set them to static as an extra safety measure.

My SSID is hidden, and I am running encryption, and dual band/dual transceiver. The access point is an enterprise AP designed to handle many more connections than a standard router/AP. Generally I put it up as high as I can get it with line of sight.

I have another show later this week on the Qu Pac, so I will set the static IP up.

[ScottParticipant]

I think that the Qu Pad app should have a setting in the configuration that allows you to turn off the behavior where you have to touch and hold a fader before moving it. This gets in the way when you have bigger bands.

I have used other apps which do not behave this way, and prefer that I can just move the faders without having to touch them in a very specific spot.
