I also tried connecting my ef note-drum to the usb b port from the mixer as well and it does not appear the cq-18 recognizes my ef note drum set

Hello Lorenzo, You cannot use MIDI to trigger actions, I'm afraid. You can use MIDI to control some parameters, as listed in the dLive MIDI Protocol, please review the following: www.allen-heath.com/content/uploads/2024/06/dLive-MIDI-Over-TCP-Protocol-V2.0.pdf Thank you, Rafael Read less

Hi, Thanks for the message, CQ20-B has built-in HiZ inputs on channels 15 & 16. These do not require an additional DI. However, the 12T and 18T models do not have this feature and will require DI for High-impedance signals. Thanks, Luke

Hi, Yes, this works with QU-16. If you are having issues using the QU-drive, please drop us a message to support@allen-heath.com Thanks, Luke

@@AllenandHeathUK Thanks

Hello, You can find details for both consoles in the following articles: support.allen-heath.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403019846033-Qu-How-do-I-route-audio-to-and-from-my-Qu-mixer-and-a-DAW support.allen-heath.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4402941921553-SQ-Virtual-Soundcheck-using-the-USB-B-connection Thank you, Rafael

i will try it later today. i have a QU 24 and when done mixing i want to record the finished track back into the Qu? i will try it and get back. thank you Sir

Yes. It works. Thank you sir

If memory serves there is a way to do this already, I believe it's implemented in the Scene changes

@@pepedlux yes you can fade between scenes. It would however be a nice addition to the actions feature for more simple utility tasks.

Hello, You can connect a router to an available 'Network' port on dLive, having both the router and dLive system (MixRack/Surface) on the same subnet and range of IP's, then connect your iPad to the router's WiFi and your dLive console should appear on the discovered units. If you need further assistance, please contact Support@allen-heath.com Thanks, Rafael

@@AllenandHeathUK Thank you, does DCHP need to be on

Hello Peter, Yes, you could do that as you've described, and that is correct, you would not have control over the preamp. Cheers, Rafael

@@AllenandHeathUK Thank you Rafael, i was able to try it yesterday and observed, that a) I only have access to the preamp while the input is patched to a channel (as you desribed) b) BUT: The preamp HOLDs its gain after you re-patch the channel 'away from it' (and it's also stored in the scene) So i can temporarily patch a channel to the input, adjust the gain, patch the channel back and store the scene. 🤩🤩 That works perfectly fine for my scenario since i use this tie line for a fixed source that doesn't change it's gain structure. Thank you.

Hello, LiveTrax is a DAW, which by designed integrates some very handy features with our products; However, in order to transmit audio you still need a protocol to send audio over IP, like with any other DAW, this can be Dante, Waves or MADI. Thanks, Rafael

Hello! If you are having any issues with LiveTrax, please make sure to contact Harrison for support: support.harrisonaudio.com/hc/en-gb For any information regarding its integration with A&H products, please contact A&H support at: Support@allen-heath.com Thank you! Rafael

Hello! If you are having any issues with LiveTrax, please make sure to contact Harrison for support: support.harrisonaudio.com/hc/en-gb For any information regarding its integration with A&H products, please contact A&H support at: Support@allen-heath.com Thank you! Rafael

@@G_The_Sound Definitely report that to Harrison support. But be sure you have rebooted your computer at least once since installation and test again just to be sure.

Hello, LiveTrax is compatible with SQ for audio transmition, like any other DAW. MIDI protocols for QU and SQ are different. SQ will be supported, but it will require a Firmware update on the SQ's side, which will be released soon. If you have questions you are always welcome to contact support directly. Support@allen-heath.com Thanks, Rafael

@@AllenandHeathUK OK I follow. Did not know there were differences. Had to ask. Was very confusing without that information as to why. Thanks

Asking is good! You are always welcome to reach out to us for any doubts! Cheers, Rafael

@@yoloyolo1832 I guess they have to update firmware for the SQ for it to fully integrate the MIDI stuff with this software. Maybe it will include some other functionality too.

@@mark12.31 I hope so, a big update for the SQ users would be awesome

Because this is focused on live and FOH work, rather than trying to be full DAW. No MIDI, no plugins, no extra useless functionality to trip over when you're in a demanding live context. But then I would say, wouldn't I ....

Dante option card? 1900/2700 USD seems pretty good for 64/128 channels of bi-directional audio.

For purchase and download, please go directly to the Harrison website. store.harrisonaudio.com/all-products/livetrax Thanks, Luke

This software will work with pretty much any mixer. It’s just that it may not offer Transport control, naming, and scene markers. Thanks, Luke

on the minimum system requirements page they say they use supported OS audio devices (ie CoreAudio for Mac). So Dante should work.

You’d have to have a Dante card? Or can you connect directly?

@@markbassie961 Your mixer would need a Dante card and you would need Dante Virtual Soundcard software installed on your computer. The connection between the two is via an ethernet network (with a switch or direct)

@@markbassie961 I would also like to know if there is a way to not buy a $2000 card just to do multitracking. I know A&H could do this through a DX port and have something like Dante Virtual Soundcard as a virtual device send. Could be called DX-Soundcard or something. Might just be wishful thinking. I wouldn't mind paying $50-150 if they wanted to paywall it.

Hello! At the moment there is no integration over DX protocol for it. For dLive and Avantis, you would need an optional card to transmit audio over IP with a computer. For QU, SQ and CQ you can connect directly over USB. Thank you, Rafael

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the message, To not send the signal/input to LR you need to set the Aux bus to run pre-fade. It should be this by default, but if you need to check/change it’s under Config>Output Highlight output and set the Input sends level. To route the input solely to the Aux. Leave the fader down on the LR mix. Then on the fader view, press the ‘Sends to’ dropdown and select the Aux output. The fader strip will highlight blue, this is to indicate the faders are assigned to the aux bus mix. You then turn the input fader up to route to the output. I hope this helps! Best regards, Luke

@@AllenandHeathUK I get that. But in that configuration, if one of my techs pushes the fader on that crowd mic up, it will still honk the speakers. Is there no feature on this mixer to just disengage the L/R on an input channel? I thought the CQ-20B had this feature?

Hello, USB B connection on CQ consoles is supported from OS 12 Monterrey and onwards. Following this specification, yes you will be able to record multitrack on any DAW, here's an article for your reference: support.allen-heath.com/hc/en-gb/articles/19338440353425-CQ-Multitrack-streaming-using-CQ Thanks, Rafael

@@AllenandHeathUK i did record a Allen heath QU16 and that computer with no problem, that why im asking

Yes, but as a show file. The show file contains all current scene that are on the mixer’s memory. This can be up to 100 scenes. The user libraries can also be saved to USB. This is actioned under Home>Data. Thanks, Luke

Any changes made on the peripheral apps will update the Mixer and Mixpad app in real-time. If you then get to a point where the setting need to be saved, say, post sound check then saving the scene will always save the mixer’s current state. Again, as the changes are happening in real time, if the connection is lost there should be no need to action the app configuration again. All apps will recall from the mixer’s current state, which is never lost. Even when the mixer is powered down the current state is always held. And finally, I’m afraid that the current scene is not displayed. Thanks, Luke
