Assign the faders as (Send Channel Type as your input channel) and (Recv Channel Type as your destination aux). Use the custom buttons to “switch” layers for the same or different auxes.

The mute controls should be set as ON/OFF for that same aux, so that it doesn’t mute the main channel.

No, the DX168s are 96K boxes using the DX protocol, and GLD is a 48K console which uses the dSnake protocol. You will need AB168s or any of the ARxxx boxes for GLD.

This is for SQ, but with the proper file / directory name changes it could apply to Qu as well. Use 24-bit / 48KHz for Qu.

Original FAT32 only natively only supported 32Gb partitions, while newer versions can go up to 2Tb. I’m not sure what dLive’s limitations are but try creating a partition just under 32Gb and see if it is recognized.

I’m only making a guess here, as the only devices I’ve ever used with dLive are USB sticks, and not SSDs.

Also, I’m not sure if you’re using Windows to do this, but if so, try using a tool like GParted or something similar, since Windows sometimes does it’s own thing.

You can also reach out to A&H support support@allen-heath.com and see if they can shed some light on this for you. Good luck!

From the manual: The USB key must be formatted FAT32 with 32k cluster size. We recommend you format the key using this page prior to use.

I’m guessing your device is using the wrong cluster size by default.

Go into the computer’s BIOS settings and change the boot order to boot the HD before the USB, or disable USB booting altogether.

On GLD there is no “pan follows main” option. You will need to set the pan’s on our aux manually.

You said the meters were working, but depending on where they are looking that could be deceiving. Channel output balance comes to mind, as well as an accidental DCA assignment, or an insert / patching issue. Hmmm, I guess without saving the state that it was in, one can only speculate.

[ScottParticipant]

Channel mutes will mute everything from that channel. This includes all mix busses. The mute group is likely muting the individual channel busses, thus muting the monitors.

One solution would be to create a stereo group, and send all of the items that are part of the mute group to that stereo group and, then send that group to the LR mix. Now mute that stereo group instead of the source channels. This will mute the FOH, while still passing the audio to the monitors. Be careful of effects when doing this, make sure that the FX returns for the items being muted are also muted.

A&H Makes a carry bag specifically for the Qu16. It’s a nice lightweight solution and is padded nicely.

Qu series cannot have it’s word clock set to an “external” source, so as Mike said the answer is no. Qu can however be connected to SQ mixers, since the SQ allows clocking from an external source.

Hi Stephane,

Change the pick-point for the aux mixes to “Post Preamp” and it will send the channels before the insert point, so you will get only dry vocals without the auto-tune effect on them.

I am guessing that his SQ5 was upgrading/downgrading the firmware on your GX4816 and you didn’t give it enough time to finish.

Another possibility, is that yours is newer hardware with some component changes, and he could have been running an older non-compatible firmware version on his SQ.

[ScottParticipant]

Try getting some contact cleaner and spraying it into the fader track and then exercise the fader by moving it fully to the top, the fully to the bottom several times. That will work the cleaner into the fader.

[ScottParticipant]

It almost sounds as if someone did a factory reset before you.

After you get your board all configured, do a backup of a show file to a USB. This will make it much quicker getting your settings back should any problems occur requiring a reset.
