This was pastor RF mike only. Others were okay.
I now suspect preamp clipping, but bad cables or connectors would be high on the list too.
The mixer was run by another volunteer last week. He does tend to run things hotter.
Will have to see if they recorded the sound.
Maybe it could be gotten from the livestream but they futz things up so much I doubt it would be useful.What I heard was like a chip bag being crinkled up behind me. Had thought it was kids behind me doing it.
But MD said it was from the LR outputs. Now if we had both happening I could have missed the real problem sound.2021/07/20 at 5:28 pm #102460Not enough info!
Give us info on the full chain from mike input, through the Qu with all settings, and then out to the loudspeakers.
There could be many reasons for not hearing something.Did you look at the block diagram and signal flow diagram to make sure you are actually sending something to LR?
Mix for monitors wedgies/IEMs is different from aux. And monitors are not LR nor aux.
Can you hear anything on the headphones plugged into the Qu?2021/07/20 at 1:24 pm #102454@KeithJ A&H
Thanks
That was helpful.
I have been unvolounteered from using the mixer so do not know the details of what was changed.
Somehow now I am an acoustic expert instead.
Go figure. They want me to help fix the acoustic issues we still have.I can envision the new MD adding reverb.
I can see that operator we had that day making changes on things while live.
Maybe he will tell us what he was doing. That would be a big clue whether it was settings or other problems.They recently added two new RF mikes. But I thought those were only for the orators not the MD.
This did not sound like any RF interference type I have heard before.Possibly it was the speaker/driver as the levels are hotter now.
Even the MD admitted the SPL levels were too high last week.
Why does everybody think their ears are calibrated to know the exact level, and won’t measure with an SPL meter?So we have some things to look at. Thanks for the pointers.
Is there nothing they could have done with compression that might have that result?
I was thinking they had the wrong attack time. But that was just a wild guess.2021/07/19 at 7:20 pm #102444@Em
Do not think so.
You could try starting a thread and sharing your presets and see if anyone else adds to it.

That could be the mixup.
I downloaded the manual and searched for block diagram.
Thought it said it was for the 24/32 not 16 when I tried to read it sideways on the screen.
Maybe I got the other one when I adjusted the size and scrolled to see the usb output.2021/05/31 at 6:39 pm #101650you are contradicting yourself
the diagram shows you send 24 channels
you agreed you can only send 24 channels
that verified my statement and the diagramwe are not talking total in and out
the OPer wanted to send to his PC
and the Qu32 only sends 24 channels
as you and the block diagram both agreed toso confounding the discussion with total channels
when we are discussing SEND via USB nr. of channels is not helpful2021/05/31 at 5:17 pm #101646exactly !!!!!!
that is what I said
you can only send 24 usb channels to the PC
2021/05/31 at 3:31 pm #101643well my block diagram has a 24 on the output to usb B
does the text contradict that factoid?
do I have an out of date manual ?We are not talking about how many can be chosen from to fit in the 24 available to be sent but how many can be sent on usbB
2021/05/31 at 2:12 pm #101641@SteffenR
so the block diagram in the manual is wrong
we were talking about USB to a PC not generic in/ out2021/05/31 at 1:25 am #101635@Lee7
The block diagram p88 shows the Qu32 can stream 24 channels out usb B
how do you come up with 32?
Is that unique to the QuSB?2021/05/30 at 5:46 pm #101622is taht factoid buried in the manual somewhere?
2021/05/30 at 1:33 pm #101614it appears to be a problem with the usb2 hardware chips AH used for usb
versus what is in the usb3+ memory sticks or i/o ports on the PC use now
and gaps with the usb standard
so same issue for both qu and sqi had problems with a win10 and usb3 that destroyed my usb memory stick used for sneakernet from my old XP
whatever billyg did to it now it only works on that win10 machine and not on my other devices b
but that might be a usb3 issue although i still suspect billyg is not fully innocentnot sure how you analyse live or who could be watching that info during rehearsal
if you record on a usb memory stick you can take your time to analyse and not miss anything
YMMV but for me 18 tracks is way plenty but I would use stems (usually 8 or less) not record every mike separately
two qus would give you twice the tracks and you could merge them in the DAW laterhow big is the band? 7 mikes is a lot for drums which leaves you 11 more for the others
could you record backing guide tracks separately and merge with the band in the DAW for deeper analysis?
could you take the mac to a dealer and try the usb recording?
i would expect when you mix and add to video you would have many takes not just one done live start to finish
2021/05/30 at 1:17 pm #101611still sounds like a DAW problem
what did ableton change from v9 to v11?

read the other posts here about various usb problems
it should work it might work
but
it all depends
nobody can tell you unless you actually try your mac with your qu/sqwhy do you need usb? live or later editing?
many find they can use a mix or matrix and avoid fighting the usb problems for live
or they can record on local usb HD and then move the file to the PC for batch editing -
