- In this video, I go over the different ways to record and playback audio through the CQ18T digital mixer.
USB A - 00:07
USB B - 00:53
SD CARD - 02:24
SD CARD Stems Input - 03:42
Bluetooth track recording - 04:22
SD card Issues - 05:07
Check out my CQ mixer series: • Allen&Heath CQ Digital...
I actually found a way to make multitrack Stems from Logic Pro that work with the CQ18T.
You need to make sure to bounce in Mono. That's where it went wrong for me.
1. Select the tracks you want to bounce
2. Open Mixer, set Stereo Out to MONO and on the bottom of that same channel click the button 'bnc'
3. Settings: WAV - 24-bit - 48khz
4. Make a new folder (AHCQ/USBMTK/******)
** Note: the folder can have any name but a maximum of 6 letters
5. The name of each stem needs to be the channel number on the CQ and the name of the channel (eg: 16Click.wav)
Hope that helps!
@@ThisIsMichaelDeno Thanks for this!
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...
Amazing 🎉
Is it possible to record stereo to a mobile device for videos or live streams?
It's possible to live stream with the mixer, I did one a while back, it was mono. I don't think it's possible to Multitrack on a mobile device but stereo should be possible.

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
Hi, unfortunately there is no way to overdub on the CQ series mixers, so it is not possible to use the mixer as a DAW. The mixer can record the direct input signal from the preamps, which can then be mixed in a DAW. The preamps are high quality and the built-in effects are very versatile. I have not tried the DM3, but from looking online, the physical faders look very interesting.
After recording onto USB A drive, How or Can I edit the name of the file on the mixer???
Unfortunately no, there's no way to rename the USB or Multitrack recordings on the mixer :(
In a conference setting. Is it possible to be using live as a mixer, but also sending the L/R output to Zoom via usb?
Yes this is possible.
greetings from Bali friend. is it possible to record with an android smartphone?
Yes, it's possible to stereo record on a phone through the USB port. However, Multitrack recording is not possible...
Have you found any solution to export the tracks on Logic? Is my only DAW right now
Not yet, I'm using reaper which is a free DAW to export tracks to the digital mixer
thanks for the tutorial! I run into some issues while recording though.
I tried recording a few vocals and guitar on an SD Card. The recording sounds good when I play it back on the mixer. But once I load it up in Logic the tracks are super quiet in volume and without FX (I've set the recording to Post AMM). Any idea how to fix this?
Hmm.. not sure... Have you tried recording at a different source point? Like 'Post Compressor' or 'Post EQ'?
@@crosslylucas I found the problem xD I am quite new in the mixing department and had to record the fx on separate tracks..
Can this mixer record multi output channel just like every aux ch into diferrent track record independenly
@@pitoyok Yes. This mixer can record the built in outputs independently in the multitrack page. This can be configured in config > USB/BLUETOOTH > Channel Assignment.
Very helpful indeed....! Thank you!!
This is extremely helpful man, thanks for taking the time to create this resource for people 🙏🏼🙏🏼 blessings man
Is it possible to use this mixer as a standalone DAW? I recorded a track on my 18t, and can play them back fine. When I arm it to record on another track, I cannot hear the previously recorded track.
Unfortunately no, the mixer cannot be used as a DAW. It cannot record and playback multi-tracks at the same time...
@@crosslylucasI know that is not the purpose of this device. But oh what a missed opportunity! Imagine how that would have exploded the target market!
Hello dear. I am about to buy one for my band, for our live performances. If i want to playback multitrack (around 8 stereo files) without using DAW, is it doable with this mixer? like i put them on an sd card or a usb card, and can i play multitrack? assign each track to faders and mix live on the fly? for example if u have 1-kick 2- rest of drums 3- bass 4- keys 5- vocals etc.... all prerecorded and on the top i want to add live instruments, and i want to mix the prerecorded tracks, for example the kick in track 1 is low, i wana use a fader to raise it, the vocal on track is is high, i wanna decrease its volume etc..... are such sorts of routings doable?
This is possible through this mixer using the SD card. I cover this at 3:43 sec. It's not the most convenient way of doing it, but it's possible.
Once the tracks are on the SD card, you can mix them however you like with the live instruments. Hope that helps...
@@crosslylucas why you think its not convenient?
@@karnobmusic because the metadata (file format) has to be extremely specific... It's not impossible to do, it just takes a while.
Thank you for your helpful video, on SD card recording mode when you had armed all the tracks, do you had used class 10 sd card ?
Yes, I used a class 10 UHS I card. This is the SD card: SanDisk 32GB Extreme SDHC card, up to 100 MB/s UHS-I Class 10, U3, V30
I have one more question, if you used it to record into daw with usb-b, to hear what you had recorded you cannot set only channels like 19,20 as usb and all the channels to be routed there and for mixing to use the mixer inside the daw ?
Hi, by default, Inputs 1&2 on the mixer are for the Stereo outs of your DAW. This means that by default, your Left and Right mix from your DAW will go to Inputs 1 & 2 of the digital mixer. If your DAW allows it you can set different outputs to individual inputs on the mixer. For example: Track 1 from your DAW can be sent to input 12 on the mixer.
@@crosslylucasThanks for your answer ;-)
I would love to know how to play files that were not recorded in the mixer into the mixer
Hi, I've covered how to do this at 03:42. it's very confusing to input the tracks into the mixer but it's definitely possible.
Sehr schön erklärt. Danke!
