I began to test the Beta… Great work!!! Thank you very much! Some smaller bug’ies are still there: The Mix LR Channel is written as ST1, the same like the real ST1. Already told this to David. And the Offline Version without connection to the mixer still has some crashs, but not the connected program. And it is possible to connect more than one android device!!! More implementations will follow, as recording commands, changing the FX-machines etc…. But until now I am very glad already! It is absolutly worth to spend the money for the Pro-version for this fantastic work of David to support him and his work!

The problem with “electrical noise” is a known problem together with INTEL-USB 3.0 driver and A&H -Windows-ASIO driver. I got this information from A&H support Germany today. A&H and INTEL are looking for a solution, but until now they didn’t find one. I will be informed, if there is a solution and then will report here…

The MIDI-usage-question between DAW and mixer I solved also… I don’T need it, because I have the mixer in the music-room, but rearrange the recordings on another PC. So MIDI-Connection between mixer and PC is not necassary.

Hi there…. coming forward… 🙂

Multitrackrecording and Multitrackplayback stored with special scenes. And I had to change the USB-Audio routing a little bit to get recorded, what I want (for example ST1 on channel 17/18).

DAW-Recording also works now. Also there I had to change the USB-B routing, because 17/18 was L/R and so on…

The problem with the electrical noise/distorsion while playing a playback-track from Cubase is still sometimes to hear. It seems to be a common problem, a lot of people have it. I don’t have a solution with this yet. I screwed the buffers of ASIO-Drive up, that is better, but not perfect. Could have to do with USB-3.0 ports of the laptop also, as I did read, don’t know. I am waiting on an answer of the german Allen&Heath support, but he is in holidays until 10.12.. Perhaps somebody here knows something about this…

The other problem with not visible wavelines in the track of Cubase ist solved also. It is a known problem of new Cubase version, a workaround is to put the setings to 24bit in the project-settings. They will bring an update in some time, I could read this on the Steinberg homepage.

The last question, which I think about, is: When linking the mixer to Cubase together with MIDI on the custom layer, I get 16 fader on the custom layer, which move together with Cubase. Is the only use for this to increase the loudness of the channels in Cubase and the other way around, or do I need this for something else? I take the ST3 channel in the mixer as OUT in Cubase. IN’s are the other channels of the mixer. I think, recording will work without MIDI-control also!? I do not understand the use of this. When I adjust the customlayer MIDI fader at the mixer, in the first second the motor works against my movement. So I always be a little bit scared, if I break something on the fader!?!?

Coming back half a year later to this problem: Any news, if A&H will solve this with a better driver? With Yamaha USB-Recording with a cheap MG12XU mixer and Steinberg-Drivers I never had a problem. Shall I still try this workaround with deactivating XHCI-implementation on my Laptop? As I did understand, this stops USB 3 impelementation? Would not be such a big probblem but a little bit pitty, becaus I did buy a real new Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Y700-15ISK. No bad machine, a lot of RAM, SSD harddisk, fast processor, so I should not have problems, I think. But I have!

So any news?

Ingolstadt, Germany…

Allright, now checked the above things and I did understand now stereorecording and multitrackrecording with Qu-Drive! The problem is really, that I have to change source every time between recording and playing multitrack-recordings. Thats a little bit laborious, but with different scenes realizable. Perhaps it would be better to copy the files to my DAW software Cubase and to hear it from there…

With the second problem with DAW-recording I got forward a little bit… the distorsions start erratic when I playback an importet mp3-track together with an recorded track (stereo-channel for keyboard). It has something to do with Asio-buffer-settings and so on… I tried different things and are not yet sure, what is the best setting to do in the Windows Asio-Driver of the Qu. And perhaps there are also some settings in Cubase, which I have to do? I don’t know yet.

Another strange thing now is, that I get a recording track of my keyboard in Cubase, but don’t see there a stereo wave. It’s an empty track optical, but I hear the played keyboard and I can hear also playback, no matter if I have muted the playbacktrack… very strange. Their must be still a problem in routing the channels from A&H to Cubase and within Cubase…

It would be so perfect to have somebody in my near, which knows, what to do and shows me everything step by step in my session-room. It is so difficult and time-consuming, to do this in “try and error” manner, even if your help in this forum is very great! Thank you fpr this! Unfortunately I have a job of 8 to 12 hours a day and can do music only in my freetime besides wife and children… a little bit a problem. Day should have 48 hours, not 24 🙂

So I try out further and hope to solve all problems before christmas 😉

Sorry, I don’t understand exactly, what you mean with “taking care not to clip anything, & playback a 2 track (or another number I guess) version to play along with”. My english is school english 37 years ago 🙁 . And whatfor the “Yes” stands? For wich part of my text?

Problem with DAW-multitrack-recording and playback is in the moment a also known problem with crazy noise sometimes, distorsion-like, so there I am looking also for a solution (could be a USB-Port-Problem at the HP-Laptop or problems with latency/buffer and so on…. I am reading about this also since 1/2 an hour under https://community.allen-heath.com/forums/topic/qu-24-electrical-noises-during-streaming/page/1

Now I drive home after work and then go in my sessionroom and test a little bit more, what you did write… with the U-Drive-source-routing, but I think, than I will not here, what I play while recording… let’s see (hear) 🙂

[FrankParticipant]

Really!!!!??? Wow, never thought this. And when I patch all channels to U-Drive oder USB-B, I still can hear my playing on the PA while recording? Or do I have to change it between recording and playback (so I would need to create a scene for recording with channels on local and another scene for hearing the records with cahnnels on U-Drive/USB-B?)

[FrankParticipant]

I have set ST3 to U-Drive or USB-B. Not the other channels. ST3 should be the playback channel. I think I will not hear my instruments on the PA while playing, whenn setting it to USB or Qu-Drive also.
I can hear stereorecordings but no multitrack recordings. And I can hear USB recordings but with bad distortions sometimes.

[FrankParticipant]

After 3 hours of more “try an error” I can not hear multitrack recordings to U-Drive and it seems, that on every recorded channel is the stereo-sum (I only can hear it on PC, with the mixer I can not hear multitrack-recording, when playing the recording directly after recording)…. their must be a big fault in routing, I think….

And with trying again USB-B-Recording to Cubase, I get terrible distorsions, when playing it back to the mixer!?!?

So again… I need HELP 😉

[FrankParticipant]

I owned the Pro-Version already… when the new implementations will work, how do I know about update? Will the app update automatically, like other playstoreapps? Would be very interestet, because than I must not buy an Ipad extra.

Other question: How many android-pads will be able to connect at the same time. Only one, or more, like the QU-You App?

[FrankParticipant]

Thats true… I thaught about “Undo” the whole of the last PEQ or Gate or Compressor or FX changes you made. But I really have to work with the scene memory oder channel library. Thats better than an analog mixer, there is NO remebering of everething before. So the digital mixer is better… but “Undo” in any way would be nice. But I understand the problem, what should be “undo’ed”. So the “Reset” of processing parameters is better than nothing, when I “disturbed” the settings, than I can do it new… 🙂
Thanks for your help and opinion!
