Learn the easiest way to do virtual soundcheck on the Allen & Heath SQ using the built-in SQ Drive. This video walks you through how to set it up and make it easy to access your QU Drive inputs for playback.

Man, this is the type of feature that puts the SQ so much further ahead of the X32 (and since the Wing doesn't have a waves card, it makes it better than the wing too). Since Behringer treats the USB inputs as part of the card slot, you can't simultaneously run a waves card AND usb virtual tracks. On the SQ, the usb is a separate I/O than the card slot, so I can run the virtual tracks as my input and still use the card slot to insert fx from a waves card on the channel strip and dial in any presets I'm trying to accomplish on the waves racks without a band in the room. Huge.

Can I do virtual sound check from via Dante. (The multitracks are on a computer with Dante Vitual Sound Card anf the SQ has the Dante Card)

[@collabworship]

Sure can! Just a matter of routing.

Does setting it up to record during a live session/ church service affect all of its outputs such as to FOH and online streaming. I was going to try and record worship during a live service but FOH also controls the online streaming via a matrix, will routing the inputs to record affect the matrix output for streaming?

Can I use a thumb drive or any SSD drive to make that virtual recording. I always thought you had to use a computer or laptop.

[@collabworship]

A thumb drive or SSD is fine. You can use a computer to record into a DAW, but if you want to simply record them for playback on the mixer, using the SQ Drive is definitely the simpler option 🙂

[@garant708]

Now would I be able to take that recording on the drive and take it to a daw? And edit it maybe for a video or just for mixing training
