First time I like an explanation, I do have my CQ20, and this really help a lot…btw, I use Gain Asst and test the voice level of the Singer, is Auto Gain better?

Thx for the video. Do you record the processed backing track on the CQ SD card?

Great video. Thank you! Waiting on my delivery of my CQ-18T. Will come back to this video for sure 👍

Wow excellent tips! Is there a way to do mix-minus for zoom calls or remote guest on a show? Is there a way to duplicate mainLR to outputs including post-AMM?

Thanks for the great video. I’m planning to buy a cq18t but I want to kniw something before : what happens to the outputs 19 to 22 of the daw? Output 1 to 18 are routed to the cq channels, but the other ones? Maybe the last pairs goes directly to the main LR output? Same question for the 19 to 24 channels of the sd card multitrack playback, please. Thank you.

Short to the points. Thank for sharing.

Can effects be uploaded to this mixer?

Thanks!

VERY USEFULL. Wating for the whole band mixing tutorial. TY!!

Excuse me,one question: if I record in the usb stick and first modify the settings of the usb channel ( compressor,gate,eq) are the usb settings present in the recording? Thanks

How did you have icons with circles?

Your name rocks by the way 😂

Hello and thanks, I just learn to use the CQ18T and I am astonished that I lose channels 1&2 to Stereo out and I cannot use more than 14 channels for instant recording if I need to hear it out from the DAZ/LOGIC PRO??? I dont seem to be able to change Stereo Out from my recording song to CQ:s MAster out on channels 23/24, can you explain why? This is a big minus for both products I feel now...☹ No offence to you thanks for the video! I refer to this moment on your video at: 01:18: th-cam.com/video/AQR2bkhZzFc/w-d-xo.html

I’m looking forward to the video about mixing a live band! I’m happy how easy this mixer is to use, but the more advice the better 👍

As a new owner of a CQ18, I appreciate any and all help in understanding how to best work this mixer. I'm a drummer in a cover band and have done some live sound and recording for the group.

Can you make a tutorial on how to make a midi work with this for changing scenes per song. Or using Elgato Stream Deck + to control fader and such?

Hi! have you ever tried using a MIDI to control like changing scene per song or something similar? would love a tutorial similar to that.

What keyboard?

Could you possibly do an explanation of the midi capabilities and an explanation of how to send midi messages to the CQ? Your tutorials are great. Basically, I am trying to send a midi program change from our backing tracks to the CQ to change the mixer scene based on the song we are playing. I am sure it can do it but really struggling with getting it to work.

Any idea why we can't connect our android phones to the mixer? It works with iphones, ipad and windows but not android so far.

Another brilliant video - thank you! You’re very talented.

This is just a glorified mixer okay a great mixer, forget about trying multitrack etc, this is extra feature because other mixers have it, but until a multitrack recording mixer target the pro world, leave this alone and get you a rel Audio Interface with better converters and ad da converter, sorry Allen and Health unless you work on a new product for studio or standalone multitrack with DAW OS but you too scared to do that, because you all assume the computer is the main way to do multitrck, really?

Thank you !

Dude, Allen & Heath needs to hire you or send you a fat check!!!

Awesome video bro!!

can you do one for going live on TH-cam etc

New sub! This was super useful and very clear to follow. Thank you for making it.

Máster como hago para que el efecto que ponga a la voz, esté detrás, por ahí pregunté y me dicen que el efecto debería estar en predeley etc, pero en mi CQ20B no encuentro esa opción, o está con otro nombre, me podrías ayudar por favor 😊

SUPER HELPFUL! Thanks man! -country music singer in North Carolina, USA lol

With custom layer, can you have FOH channels on the same page as a monitor/iem channel?

Hi lucas, If i call you through phone and teach me more about this is it possible my friend? Thank you in advance.😘

This is an excellent video Crossly THANK YOU!! I recently bought a CQ18T, and have taken over the sound management for my band... I am the guitar player, so when we have live shows I have a lot to manage, and all of your videos have been tremendously helpful!!! Allen and Heath should hire you because your videos are better and more useful than theirs.

Which will sounds better ZED420 Or CQ18T? Advice please

Thanks for the tips. Simplifies things 100%.

Very cool. I learned a lot. But can you make a video on how to use an RTA microphone with what you were going over here in this video. My only experience with an RTA microphone is using one with a DBX Driverack for auto EQing. And if you are up to it, as I am a brand, new beginner with digital mixers, if you made a video that starts at simply turning on this mixer, and how to begin setting up a brand, new scene, simply for microphone inputs… Not an entire band of instruments. Just begin with microphones. That would be an immense help! Bless you!

Great vid, thank you! Love to see you mix a band. Especially for bass guitar, from amp and/or DI.

Is there a way to adjust the track only in house while keeping the streaming sound the same?

Exuse me, im italian and i dont understand the dialogues well in english.for a piano and vocal duo who wants to record on AN sd without using a pc but wants a professional recording what can you tell me about the preamps ,converters, and voice effects? Are they professional? How is the sound quality in sd recording? Thanks

hi, which is better a&h CQ18 vs yamaha dm3 ? and what are the differences and what about in built plugins which are bettter?

As singer....I miss my reverb in this tutorial

This is useful real world application info. I figured out a few of these in the field…the hard way. The first event I did we had feedback caused by a band mate placing his ac guitar next to his monitor, unbeknownst to me. It howled. I was horrified. I couldn’t tell what speakers were howling. Monitors or Main LR? Using the CQ is different for me than the QU/SQ/Avantis. Touchscreens, no matter how good they are, haven’t felt as stable for me as hardware in terms of aiding me to quickly troubleshoot problems by manipulating channel mutes/faders. Touchscreens require delicate and precise muscle motor skills…when I am in a rapidly escalating panic loop, this requirement is unhelpful in my troubleshooting process. The next day I thought it through after binge watching CQ features, and developed a plan (in addition to telling the bandmate to never place his guitar next to any speaker, and giving him a mute pedal for when he puts down the gtr and starts playing his mandolin…probably need sound hole muffler too). Panic muting! Those soft keys are meant for quick access, therefore very valuable real estate on the CQ face. Originally I undervalued their worth. Seeing as though feedback is my #1 concern as a live sound guy, it only made sense to use the limited hardware that is available on the unit to address this. (Feedback assistant is another layer of security for sure, but not one I want to 100% rely on for avoiding feedback). Would be a bonus to have at least 3 more soft keys for tap tempo and effects send mute for fx1 and fx2 like I was doing before this incident. But again, when forced to choose what to use them for, hands down it is to eliminate the thing that makes the band and crowd breathe fire at the sound guy above everything else…feedback. Hence the term panic muting. Alternatively I assigned DCA’s for fx and put them on the custom layer and can mute them, or turn them up or down when I need to. Much prefer using touchscreen for those than potentially searching through layers for panic muting. Btw, DCA’s and everything else I need on a single custom layer I think is the biggest leverage you can get out of any CQ configuration. Designing each show to be able to avoid having to change layers/tabs as much as possible equals stability for me. Then rehearsing that configuration gives you the muscle memory to solve problems faster than you otherwise would be able to in the heat of the moment. Rehearse your configuration! My panic muting configuration is a little different though. First soft key mutes Outputs 1-6 (all monitors), second soft key mutes LR Main, and third soft key mutes all microphone source channels. This gives me a quick way to troubleshoot feedback in realtime. For instance, when I rehearsed the feedback scenario in my mind, given the new soft key configuration, I would have probably first muted the mics, discovered that didn’t fix it (panicked), then maybe tried the mains, same thing (panicked more), then monitors which would have fixed it, indicating an issue with monitors caused by something other than mics, at which point I could unmute mics, unmute LR Mains, letting the show go on, and left the monitors muted temporarily. Getting to this point would have stopped the panic loop, and gave me the clarity of mind to track down the root cause. Then I could rationally look around for what non mic source caused monitor feedback. At that point I probably would have noticed the ac gtr next to the monitor. Then tested it out by muting that channel, bringing the monitor back up slowly. It would have been worse if the ac gtr was feeding back through the mains because the show couldn’t have gone on until I figured the whole thing out right then and there. How I ended up resolving it was eventually turning down mains and monitors and bringing the mains back up timidly, discovering the feedback was gone. This was before I had the firmware update where DCA’s got added, so I was having to individually turn down each of the 3 monitor out faders and LR Mains fader. The show took an obvious pause. It wasn’t until I listened to the recording later that night that I discovered feedback on the ac gtr channel only…which is what I suspected by the end of the show.

greetings from Bali friend. is it possible to record with an android smartphone?

Good morning, in your opinion is it possible to do everything with this machine cq 12t without going through a DAW? Record multitrack and do post production inside and then put everything on the SD card? How is the final sound quality if not, it doesn't use or goes through the PC?How are the multi-effects? Compressors, reverbs and vocal effects? converters and mic preamps? I'm looking for something pretty definitive. Have you tried the yamaha dm3s? Thanks a lot

Absolutely fantastic content sir. ❤ would you recommend this or the Yamaha DM3? I will be using it for studio, multi track, recording, and gigs. I can learn to live without the physical faders. I'll be curious to know your thoughts on that. Thanks again for the content!🎉

After recording onto USB A drive, How or Can I edit the name of the file on the mixer???

Good Day Sir!!! Sooo?? I can't record Stereo tracks onto the SD card?? And when I use the Mukti track feature for recording onto SD card, I don't see my Stereo Input available??? Worse case scenario, I'll record my stereo track onto a USB flash drive...
