I’ve got a QU-16 and a new Mac Studio M1 Max, running Monterey OS X. I have it plugged into a regular USB port on the Mac (USB A I think, certainly not the small “usb c’). I don’t use the actual faders and DAW ‘control’, but I do use it as my A/D Interface for recording and playback. It’s working fine with Studio One. At first there was a ‘scratchy crackling’ sound which disappeared after I updated the QU Firmware. Hope this helps you somewhat…try the Firmware update.
2022/05/28 at 9:35 pm #107342I use a QU-16 for the same purpose, and have a HOSA SLW-333 AUDIO SWITCHER, which is fed from the QU Main Outputs. It has a Stereo In and 3 Stereo Outs, so you can have 3 Monitor sets and switch between them. I have a purpose built long long cable which feeds a set of monitors in a different room. It’s a good setup. Hope this helps you.

Thanks for your reply. I did get a call from Apple Support and the guy was very patient and helpful.While I was updating the Firmware of QU-16 the Mac froze completely and I couldn’t continue. During the Apple call we spent about 30 minutes going through all the various ‘power off – on’ scenario etc without success, and then eventually he suggested trying a different keyboard (qwerty) and surprisingly a Logitech wireless Kybrd gave back full use of the Mouse and Kybrd, both of which had frozen.
We ran through some checks and now everything is back to normal. Updating the QU-16 Firmware has fixed the noise issue, but it’s very strange why during that process, (actually right after I initiated the update via USB in QU) the Mac Studio froze. We coud see no reason for this, even the Apple Support guy was unable to find a reason. As it happens, I later reconnected the Apple wired Kybrd and things seem fine now.Here’s t’ hopin’ the new setup delivers some sweet sounds…

2021/03/07 at 9:07 am #99627I’ve never used Audacity for multi-tracking, but in any DAW you just need to select the Input Channel on your recording track in the DAW software to match the Output you are using on the Q16…ie: the one with the Mic plugged to it.
If you have a Mic in Chanel 1 of the Q16, go to the Track/Channel within Audacity for where you want to record the vocal. Arm the track for Record Read, make sure you have a level…off you go. Record the vocal…
2020/12/03 at 1:35 am #96871No I didn’t. Just one of those things I suppose…
2020/12/02 at 11:10 pm #96866Sorry I didn’t report back on this issue back when.
Anyway, after to and fro with official tech support my problem was sorted …it turned out to just be the actual USB cable. Crazy but true. It was a cable that seemed fine but changing it sorted the distortion.
YES, I ran the QU16 with Pro Tools 12.6 on my iMac for a couple of years without any real hassles. My iMac died 2 months ago and I’m currently running QU16 with a 2012 MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. So far no problems so fingers are crossed, as I can’t afford a new iMac which is around $3,000 AUD for the basics.
I hope the O/P gets it sorted…just try a different USB cable for starters.
2019/05/03 at 9:10 pm #83677I’ve had a QU-16 for about 18 months, and have only tried this recording to USB once or twice, just to see if it worked.
If I remember correctly, the ‘settings’ on each channel on QU-16 do not affect the recorded tracks. I’m pretty sure they go down ‘raw’ BUT if you play it back straight after, with the same ‘settings’ you had while recording, it will enable those settings such as EQ etc. This is only a playback thing, and has not actually changed the recorded files.
When I did it, I loaded the recorded tracks into Pro Tools, where they appear as raw un-affected tracks for editing, EQ-ing, mixing etc.
I may be wrong, but am pretty sure that’s how it works.
2018/12/29 at 11:17 am #81136Hello C.
I have the QU 16 and use it just as you intend to, ie; for recording into ProTools.
It’s working fine as an input A/D device, but I’ve had some issues with the Fader control into the DAW. It did work but recently not so good. I just haven’t bothered taking time out of recording my new album to sort out the Eucon stuff properly. Eucon is very inconsistent in my experience, even when running the ProTools app on my iPad Mini.
As for the QU itself, I recommend it for studio use. Initially I had some digital noise issues, and it may well be my old post in this forum that you mentioned. It turned out to be a faulty USB cable, after weeks of hair pulling.
Hope this helps…
2018/11/13 at 8:14 pm #80050To remix it you need to import the WAV files you recorded into a DAW, where you have full access as if they’d been recorded in the DAW.
You can’t remix internally in QU 16/24 etc from the QU drive. Hope this helps.
2018/09/19 at 8:26 pm #78615If you mean DT990 headphones then yes, they will work. Not at my desk atm so unsure of the ohmage, but I use DT990s straight out of the headphone output on my QU 16 and they work.
2018/09/14 at 5:39 am #78541Yes, I had full operation with Banking and Rec soft keys.
I was able to bank up/down to plenty of tracks in Pro Tools, in bank groups of 8.I can’t remember how many tracks I had in sessions, because I don’t necessarily count them (ha) but any session might see me with several ‘channels’ set to “Hide + Disable” in PT, and combinations of Midi and Audio and several Aux busses for sub-mixes etc.
But I could certainly get around without problems. Since I’ve had no feedback on this I’ve not spent time trying to sort it out, instead just getting more RSI in my wrists from the trackball/clicking. When I get a chance I’ll try and investigate further, but am still keen to hear what others say.
2018/09/01 at 8:11 am #78234Hope you don’t mind me joining in on this topic.
I’m not sure about that particular issue, but I have a similar problem with my QU-16 and Pro Tools 12.6.Recently I had the Graphics card in my iMac repaired and so the studio system was down.
Prior to this I had the soft keys all working fine with Pro Tools, but now, after setting up again, I have one of the soft keys set for Record and two others set for Bank UP/DOWN but they aren’t functioning as they should.
The banking won’t move Up or Down, but the first 8 channels on PT Mixer are highlighted, and I can use the Mutes etc on those, but I can’t get them to move to the next sets of 8 channels. Also the Record function Soft Key isn’t working.
Anyone got a suggestion for a fix?
2018/06/27 at 7:02 am #72163I’ll be interested to hear about this also. Good luck…
2018/06/25 at 3:54 am #72036Have you checked that the tweeters or such in your speakers are all working? Have you checked the Balance of channels on the QU?
I’m sure you have, but other than those things, if your power amp is ok, you may need to systematically re-check your whole signal path.
