Hi Guys.
I’m on a macbook Pro 2015
2.9 Ghz i5, 8gb RamBut I bought it for office work, not for music! Processing speed is fine, Faster than my Mrs’ 2017 basic iMac!
But big problems with the 500gb Flash storage. I can get about 2 minutes of multitrack before it gives up. SSD would be ideal but not in a position to upgrade the computer yet so on the lookout for a good external. You can route all of logic’s temporary and permanent recording files into an external drive with a trick apple don’t recommend but it works. Anyway, thats my problem… the SQ and logic are best mates! So easy routing out of the mixer and then assigning those channels to any track in the DAW.
2018/05/19 at 10:53 am #71123Whatsoup, That comment surprised me so I tried it, but you are right! However i’m sure the desk would need to put all its processing power into the multitrack recording. Asking it to also multitrack playback from another source is probably pushing it. You don’t want to compromise output recording quality.
Just run a stereo out from your computer into a local for the live performance and then send that stereo to the SQ drive. If the mix of the drums wasn’t right in the recording. Just delete the recorded drum track and add a better one in later in the studio. The timing will still be perfect because the band performed to the drum track on the night and then you’ll be able to further tweak your multitrack drums on top of the SQ drive recording.
(just realised you didn’t say anything about a band, sorry if I assumed wrong)
2018/05/19 at 8:56 am #71121Are you worried about number of output sockets? How many outputs currently taken up by your PA?
Dont forget there are 2 TRS Jack outs on the SQ too that also can be assigned to any mix.
If you’re struggling just run the IEMs in Mono and double your channel capacity!But also… buy SQ š its brilliant! š
2018/05/19 at 6:49 am #71120Hey Tony
Ive had my SQ for 6 weeks and started recording my shows on the SQ drive. I find it’s great and easy to use. If you are recording stereo out then you’ll have no trouble I’m sure. Multitrack is heavy on data so you ought to use a decent hard drive, not just a memory stick, but the SQ is more than capable. I did only use it for a while then I started running USB straight into Logic on my mac. If you have this as an option its much better for editing afterwards as it is already in the program and you don’t need to drag and drop hours of WAV files into your computer.
Anyway.. dont get a new QU! Get a SQ you won’t regret it! š
2018/05/18 at 6:38 am #71105Thanks for your input Jedifyll. Just had a little play with the desk and I think I’ve realised the issue.
It happens when the rotary is assigned to be a Main Level Fader and is set to any channel (but notice that there is also the option of ‘Current Selected Channel’). If you set the rotary for example to control the gate threshold of the ‘Current Selected Channel’ it will switch off when there is no channel selected. This makes perfect sense. However if you choose to control the gate on a specific channel, it always stays on, with or without a selected channel.
I think this programming is missing on the send level fader function. Should be an easy fix on the next update.
P.S. maybe I misunderstood you, but for me the rotary always works, its only the screen and backing light that reset. Check to see if you are actually also loosing functionality, my guess is you’re not š
2018/05/17 at 12:27 pm #71080YES! Also voting for a detailed RTA with some options such as hold and decay and averaging over time (1-10secs). The Current RTA only follows the 28 adjustable bands and jumps around so fast its impossible to accurately tune a room.
Even better if it be a full screen tab on the Ipad so we can see really a lot of detail!
2018/05/17 at 11:35 am #71078I’m guessing your monitor mix is post fade? Otherwise you could just split the input of the the snare and have that channel just going to monitors, easy.
If you are mixing monitors post fade, (I dont know QU well, but on SQ I would:) un-assign the snare from the monitor mix and route it into a spare group, send the group to monitors only and use the group’s PEQ/Graphic to make the changes needed in the monitor without affecting Main LR. You could do this with as many channels as you want without affecting the others that are going straight to monitor.
I do this with some microphones so I can use the Graphic EQ on the group to ring out some nasty onstage feedback without affecting the general monitor’s EQ for other sources.
Sorry if none of this applies to QU, i’ve never used one.
2018/04/17 at 6:12 am #70462“Ok finding directions to Bob’s ‘Hike’ and outdoor goods store, Colorado” !! lol
Copy and paste names would have to auto-add a number 2 to the first copy, then 3, 4 ,5 etc
2018/04/12 at 3:19 am #70355I would second that. I really need an simple mode which is customisable. I have an assistant which also does my simpler shows and he is old school (as in controlling volumes and nothing else)
I have setup 1 layer thats just for him with a simpler surface, just important inputs and a DCA for all outputs and another DCA for all FX.
Thats all fine until he hits the aux mixes by accident and is now controlling what looks like his mix but it isn’t going anywhere. Maybe the answer is just disabling Layer and Mix selection in the utilities. That would be excellent!
2018/04/12 at 1:55 am #70353Maybe only slightly related but I’ve lost my scene button. In the same way as descibed about the Layer C button, except that I havent been patient enough to wait and see if the SQ lets me have it after a while. But the fact that I have a softkey to store current scene, that also isnt working makes me think the entire scene program is not working.
Anyone else?
2018/03/31 at 7:43 am #69988So SQ5 can definately be used with AR2412? Im confused because Iām being told both yes and no from different distributors!
