SQ will not be the limiting factor.
Can you define improvement first and then also measure the improvement in your guitar sound with that mike?
Will your audience care or even notice?I would wonder about the fig8 pattern and what else it will be picking up in a live on stage situation.
While it has high SPL rating and is ruggedized I would still prefer ribbons to be used in a studio not live with rock/pop.2021/05/19 at 7:43 pm #101403So the mix of concern (streaming) is Mix7-8 that I need to add some reverb / delay to,
If you add reverb to mix78 you get it on all of mix78.
I would ever ever add reverb to any mix going to livestream. But then I would never add reverb to a live situation either.
But that is just me.If you only want reverb on the singers and their channels going to livestream then try these links
Qu-32 – Need Step by step instructions for adding reverb to 1-2 channels
2021/05/18 at 11:59 pm #101393You said earlier you only need one stereo pair.
Do the mixing in the Qu and send it out via mix78.
You can have as many channels in that mix as you want.
Whether you just need the singer or the preacher man or the choir they will be there when they are making sound.
Send that to an audio interface easier and better than fooling with usb.
We do that and have to turn our signals down to stay in the yellow for OSB.2021/05/18 at 10:10 pm #101391Just what is it you are really trying to accomplish ?
What is your real problem?If the signal is low to the PC, via the usb do’H!, then amplify in the DAW or OBS.
You would find it easier to not use the USB and send the mix to an audio interface via xlr and increase gain there.Unfortunately the QU is lacking the needed final gain stage amplifier before sending things out whether LR or via USB.

True
It is a warning that you are close , but could be clipping, and you should back off the gain to avoid the light.2021/05/17 at 8:58 pm #101369@RS
AFAIK you can gain stage and avoid the clipping artifacts,
and in most likely places you will be notified if clipping could be happening.
If you also selected other layers then you could see it in other less observed places where it could happen.
What you cannot see is every place at once. Would be a nice AH feature to warn if clipping was anywhere to alert you to look.
But I guess they figure sensible folks just keep the signal levels low enough throughout that there is no risk.And of course if you apply fx or other processing you get whatever they do to the signal just fine if you do not clip anywhere.

If you are a masochist then apply the about 6 pages of fixes to windows settings that are needed for audio use.Get a bigger faster PC that can keep up.
Kill the antivirus that will slow things down.
Erase all crapware that phones home.
Stop all timed/automatic programs from running.Still having problems then refer to graf 1 and the second line.

I understand that all the AH mixers have still have 18dB headroom at their 0 LED/meter.
And have 3dB more after the red peak light on the channel.Some digital gear uses FLP for (near) ‘infinite’ headroom.
I understand AH is all binary but adjusts the range to ensure enough bit depth that it is using at various levels in various places in the mixer to be roughly equivalent to wider bit depth. I believe it is quite possible to make the mixer clip internally if you have too much gain at various locations depending on the signal level you got to start with. Obviously at the final DAC you must be under 0dBFS at that stage of the processing whether you used FLP or binary. So with really bad internal settings you could well clip on the output too.2021/05/17 at 3:38 pm #101361@RS
digital is digital, and different from analog. many people do not fully understand it.
even one big textbook by a famous prof had (minor) errors. the internet is full of errors about it (not all minor).If you are adding f/x , or are clipping with summing, to add new frequencies,
then you have distortion or possibly other issues.
some people like distortion. some do not.Now in theory you should be able to push the console right up to 0dBFS,
and as long as you never touch 0dBFS on any channel or sum of channels,
you would not notice any change in the sound except the digital level.
but you gain nothing and risk distortion if you try.In practice, some converters do have (very small) issues when you push them near the maximum,
and those sound more accurate when you give them some headroom too. again practice not theory there.Whether pushing AH converters near the max is audible or not I do not know.
But it should still be far less than what you got from analog when you pushed it to the max.I have to suspect that anything you think you hear is apophenia or golden ears syndrome,
and that in a double blind ABCX test the statistics would say the results were random and not actual.
AES did tests like that some decades back to test things like magic cables,
and found what people claim to hear is more delusion than real.2021/05/17 at 3:25 pm #101360Hit mix button
adjust input channels to that mix with faders
send that result out to f/x via cable outselect layer with channel inputs
send result from your outboard f/x to new channel input
send that to LR or whatever place you plan to use the adjusted soundread the manual or watch the videos for more

If you route everything internally correctly that external connection would work.
But you still need the external gear to be working right and to set the levels in and out properly.2021/05/17 at 2:02 pm #101356@Konrad
you are new to the digital world which is far different from analog, not just new to the digital console.EVERYTHING clips at 0dBFS. You do not ever want to get even close to that.
You do not need to do it as digital SNR and DR is SO much greater than analog ever was.Digital requires an 18dB headroom, if you want to be sure not to clip or have other problems. AH provided that.
That is 0 on the AH readouts. You do not want to go over that level ever,
but if you do go over a dB or 2 then you will not clip but you gain nothing by pushing it hotter like you did with analog.You do not get louder by raising the dBFS, you get louder by turning the knob on the audio power amplifier to the right after you convert the digital to analog.
2021/05/15 at 5:57 pm #101332you are right
but to get the digital to the usb it has to go through mikes preamps and ADCs somewhere before that audio got into digital inside the pc to be sent to the usb to the SQ. and those will be a bigger limitation than the SQ44.1 offers all the quality you can hear from digital in spite of some golden eared folks claims about what they think they can hear. although you might hear things with truly inferior ADC/DACs, or a bad design, in really cheap consumer grade equipment,
or from a badly created CD that is not the norm.96 only offers real benefits for editing and mixing then downrezzing to CD quality better than from 48 to 44.1 so as to keep the valid bit length long enough.
unless he actually has a good 96 ADC up front and good processing from audio sound creation to PC before going to the SQ then he gains nothing with using the SQ but he sure will not lose any quality with it2021/05/15 at 1:24 pm #101329You will be limited by your PC/DAW and its DACs to the usb, as well as the original quality of the audio.
The SQ can make your ears bleed with that headphone if you really want to do that by cranking up the levels.
2021/05/15 at 1:36 am #101322very confusing question
where is the music coming from and in what format?
where is it going to and in what format? do your headphones have a usb input??isnt the monitor jack analog so what does that have to do with 96kcps audio still in digital format.
what does usb have to do with that question? do you mean to send usb into the SQ and then to your headphones?
then just plug them into the monitor out and use the usb in from wherever.if you want to go from usb to your headphones there are many devices to do that besides the SQ for much less money
some even go way past a mere 96Kcps. personally I prefer 384 and 786 would be best until they sell 1562Kcps digitalone example for usb to headphones. google will find many more.
