Not sure how you are using your board. Or how much the faders are moving.

We power off every day.
Then when the next user turns it on and signs in they select the scene that they will use for their start point.
That resets everything to the original setting for their use.

Save your current set up. Power off and then restart.
Make any adjustments that are needed.
Then if you are not using AMM or other features that would change the fader settings you would appear to have a hardware problem.

We have not yet found a USB that works at all.
Brand new board so still looking for a USB that would work.

However, we do record the audio to a cd recorder just fine.
I am new at this job at the church too, so still learning their set up,
but it looks like that device is record only as there is a separate one to play from that goes into an input on the board.

That is a similar idea to using a PC to record tracks.
We only need the one track, so one channel output from the QU32 is fine for us.

If you need multiple channels to edit and mix later then the PC approach seems to be the answer to the USB problems.

you said
I knew the jacks are simply marked as input but my old boards, from when I was still doing analog recording, all had the function to plug an Insert effect for live stuff so I thought “what the hell, let’s just try” and was surprised when at least some effect was added to the signal, dry as it may have been.
I don’t have the wiring diagram in my head and I don’t know what software magic A&H may have sprinkled in there, that’s what got me to ask here.
So to summarize:
On the Qu’s there is no intended way to do Insert effects. I don’t do live stuff, but even for that it would be a Send/Return FX loop or onboard effects.

reply
The board I was used to had a jack that used a special Y cable. It sent the input out the cable that went to an fx device.
The device then connected to the other half of the cable to return the wet signal where it continued down the channel strip.

You cannot do that with the qu32. What you can do is pick up to 4 FX from their library and insert that as if it had been outboard like in previous devices. I think it has 4 compressors with many options on each. Plus a library of other FX.
You can use up to 4 of them in the Qu at a time.

If none of the library of fx is suitable then go to plan B:
like the other guy said use the other analog board patch in the fx with send/return , and bring that output into the QU.

So they don’t plan to fix the usb3 bugs that makes finding a usable memory stick difficult?

Failed: WD (software on it said san disk) 128G easystore usb 3.0 blue
could not format it on Qu32
could not format it on PC
some forums say it uses exFAT not FAT32
my pc said it was FAT32 but no way to verify that it really is

appears to be relabeled sandisk 128G drive

@aaronius

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do.

There was a video either here or on utoob about tuning a room and misconceptions some folks have.
google should find you some info if you are specific about what you are trying to do.

it has been a long time but i recall that we had planned at a previous church to set the overall sound level to best fit the audience in that room. we were going to use SPL meters at various places to see if there were spots that were too low or too high. and then try to best compromise the FOH level going to the power amps and then to the speakers.

if you can add speakers or adjust speaker levels you might be able to improve the sound. We had two fixed speakers and our problem was simply loudness level as many folks complained but the preacherman wanted it higher. he increased the gain in his wireless mike which only caused distortion not louder sound from the FOH to the power amps. he did not understand about intelligibility beyond his idea that louder was better.

but to answer your question, based on what i think you said, i would not change the gain but take measurements at various places with the same gain level. then decide what you need to do if anything.

for more general questions try gearslutz or a book aimed at your topic.

@ryan

thanks for explaining that detail i missed.

[volounteerParticipant]

okay please deconfuse me

our church is using the qu32 for live sound
what forum would have better answers for that sort of user

thanks
