How to choose the stereo signal to be sent over USB - Allen & Heath QU Series
Vložit

- By default the USB output sends all channels an most outputs over the USB cable. Many people are either using a stereo only device, or software that only records stereo by default. These stereo devices are only reading the first two channels of that USB signal and discarding all the other channel information. As a result we need to specify what information we want that stereo device to hear, and then assign that information to CH1&2 of the USB output. In this example I’ll set MIX9&10 to the USB ch1&2 so that the stereo device doing the recording will hear MIX9&10
(Although I’m working on a QU16, the principal is exactly the same on any other digital mixer with USB output. If you are sending USB signal to a stereo device, you must configure the CH1&2 outputs)

This was the most helpful 3 minutes of my entire week. Thank you very much!
dBLay Glad to help! Thx
That’s the ticket! Thanks so much.
Perfect video, thanks!
Thanks Rob! Exactly what I needed today.
I just noticed on someone else's video they disabled all of the other channels (only 1 and 2 were set to mix9/10). Would there be any benefit to doing that? I would expect the other channels to just be ignored.
Thx Charles. Glad to hear it was helpful!
Thank you so incredibly much!!! It's appreciated!
Thx Jack. Glad it was helpful
Thank you, this video really helped.
Awesome you've made decision for me! this is the way I'm going but for pro tools.
I'll check it out !
Cool, thank you!
can you please create a video on connecting a router and Ipad to run Q app?
Thank you sir, you are the best
Thx Nhat. Glad it was helpful
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 I’m working on it still but at least I know where to start now 😃
Mr. Rob.how about multitrack recordin on a usb?
Hello Rob, I bought QU16. I'm currently studying by watching your channel. I would appreciate it if you could put Japanese subtitles on it. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 for your videos! Can you do one on input/outputs on QU to Pro Tools? I can’t figure out my routing correctly. MIDI is working great, but patch channels aren’t.
Thanks
Rob, this was by far the easiest and straight forward QU-16 tutorial video I have watched. Thank you. Even after doing this, I still cannot get levels from the USB that are usable. They are entirely too low. So wonderfully clean, but so horrifically low. I worked in radio for 20+ years and I can tell I didn't listen to the engineer enough. It just seems like there's a magic button I don't have pressed. The board seems great and the laptops we have are pretty new, I just cannot get a workable level. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thx for the kind words. Glad you found it helpful. You are not alone on the issue of low levels for USB. It’s actually by design to ensure that levels don’t peak and become overdriven. There are two options. The easiest is to simply normalize the tracks after recording. Second is to increase the Direct out level since that’s typically where USB is tapped.
You have add gain in the software you will be using to record or live stream. As our friend here said. It’s by design so you can manipulate the signal at will in your software of choice.
Hi Rob - we record multitrack into the QuDrive. We run a house PA mix too. We want to add streaming through USB B with a different mix. The manual indicates that QU Audio Output Selection is SHARED with QuDrive. If I use mix 9/10 as a stereo mix (separate from the PA mix), and I select Mix 9/10 in USB Audio Channels 1 and 2 as your video shows... will that affect the Qu Drive recording? In other words is QUDrive recording Mix 9/10 plus channels 3-16 instead of native channels 1-16?
If I'm right, we should only use channels 3-16 for inputs that we want to record. dSnake inputs 1 & 2 will be empty.
You are correct. The channel setup you choose in USB Audio tab is common to both the Qdrive and the USB output
can you help me out a bit im running the qu-16 for podcast / live streaming on twitch is there a way to control each individual desktop audio through the mixer?
example I'm doing my podcast and I get a caller in on skype ,if I need to mute the caller right away can i set a channel to control only skype and or discord volume with out affecting any other audio coming in?
another example when I'm streaming my games and I want to adjust individual volumes and or mute background music with a fader would I have to use 1/4" jacks from the mixer to my computer?
seeing how it only recognizes channel one and two through USB
any help would be great im very new to this
Hi thx for joining us. It would depend how you have setup your incoming audio. If you only have a single audio feed from the desktop to the qu16, then there is no way to mute only part of that audio. You would need to deal with that on the desktop before it goes to the mixer.
Boa noite, tudo bom,estão tenho uma qu-16 ,você consegue me ajudar na questão se consigo fazer 10 auxiliar separado ou 8
Porque pelo oque eu vi só consigo 7 devido do 5 em diante ser esterio
Hi Rob, I am having an issue, I would like to adjust the volume of the livestream from a separate mix.
I’ve set CH1 “Mix9 L” and CH2 “Mix10 R” exactly what you did on the video 2:27 and adjusted each microphone's faders in Mix9-10 including the master,
but the live stream still remains very quiet.
If I understand it correctly, what you did here was set Mix 9-10 to be piped into the QU-24 USB Output, and to be picked up by the PC/Laptop’s input?
If so, I guess I’d also like to understand how would we know which ST channel to pick the signal from on our PC/Laptop?
Cause I believe there’s ST1, ST2, and ST3 channels?
If you're using windows, in sound output, you can select qu-16 ST1 or ST2 or ST3 as your output, and in ST1 procesing, source, select usb streaming.
Hey Rob!! WOW thanks for this. my Qu 16 is brand new and im setting it up. I will be using it to replace my old analog mackie mixing board that goes into the pro tools HUI which I will be getting rid of as its not compatible with the new pro tools.... will the new Qu go into to pro tools via USB to my mac...so that i plug in all of my external audio devices into the rear inputs on the Qu...do i plug them in the back and then assign them ALL to the 2 stereos out to pro tools similar to what you did hear? sounds like that is the case...please help!!
Sounds like you’re on the right track. Give me shout if you run into anything. My only thought is that you actually want to have protools do multitrack and my explanation here was for a destination that only accept a 2ch stereo signal
When you're routing channels on the USB out for a multitrack recording, what is tap point for those channels? Right after the preamp or after processing? Don't think you can set it on the QU-16.
On the IO Patch > USB Audio tab you will see the "source" option just above the Cancel button. Set this to Insert Sends for preprocessed signal (before EQ Comp Gate Delay). Set the source to Direct Outs to have USB follow the Global direct output option (which is set in the Routing screen). QU16 Manual pg75. Routing Screen is Pg38. Yes it can be set on the QU16

super helpy
Thanks for the video. We have QU-24, is it the same process?
Thx. Yes the qu24 would be exactly the same
Does this mean rob that on my Mac Mini I dont have to plugin the 3.5 jack and plug it into a local channel? I can send signal from mac mini via usb and be heard from both locally and remote listeners via streaming in zoom?
Yes. Typically the USB from your mac will show up as ST1 (the doc actually refer to this stereo channel as 17&18)
Great Video! I have a similar question. If I have 2 or 3 different mixes, can I send each of those mixes post-fader via USB and have that as individual channels on my system?
If you want to send mixes via USB to record as single channels then simply choose the USB channel and dial the mix you want to assign to that channel. As I set USB channel 1 to be LR in the video, choose USB 3 and dial in Mix1 for example. Then USB2 and dial in mIx2 etc
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 great! Thanks for your reply. Do you how many mixes can I have on a QU-16 and how many can I send out?
The qu16 has 7 mixes - 4 are mono, the the last 3 are stereo.
Looks like the above solves this but, to make sure. I want a mix for a livestream separate from the PA. I may want some mics coming in a little louder on the live stream than the PA and others not coming on the PA at all (e.g. drums/ambient room mics). Does this solve that dilemma?
What you describe is exactly what a “Mix” does. Be sure the mix is set as prefade and you will create a separate mix for your live stream. Its the very same concept as creating a monitor mix that’s unique for the singer or musician who is listening on stage.
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 awesome! Were looking to replace our analog mixer
Hi Rob, Big fan of your videos. I picked up mixing at church and pretty much learnt everything about the QU-24 from your videos. Big Thank you for that!
Question:
We have a dedicated mix 9/10 for livestreaming audio. (CZcams with an iPhone)
I have patched MIX 9/10 to route to ALT Out.
Running a Dual 1/4 jack to 3.5mm cable
TRS to TRRS adapter
lightning to Headphone jack adapter to iPhone..
While this setup works with some hiss on the audio, we thought it was time to switch to digital audio..
I was hoping you have some steps on how to connect the USB-B port to iphone for audio.
Please help me out.
Thx. Glad you find it helpful. Connecting to an iPhone with USB is fairly easy. You simply need the correct adapter to get a USB port input for the iPad/iphone. The “approved” Apple product will still call it a camera adapter. Basically a lightning to USB adapter. You may want to consider one that also has a lightning power port as well as USB so you can power the phone while using USB
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 I tried connecting a USB to Camera adapter+USB cable to the USB-B port and did a sound check on Garageband(Mic) app. No signal was coming through... What am I missing when it comes to setting on the mixer?
You orig message says you patched Mix9/10 to Alt. Did you also go back and follow the video to set Mix9/10 as USB1 and USB2
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 yes I did. Mix9 L on channel 1 and Mix 10R on channel 2
Hello Rob, thanks for sharing this valuable information with us.
Whenever I record using the Qu drive and playback the sound comes out louder than the sound I get when I play is on a my PC. Kindly assist.
Thanks.
Kojo from Ghana.
Thx. Its quite possible that you simply have the gain much higher on the qu for playback, or alternately the channel gains are simply quite low on your PC playback
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 what do you suggest I do?
I am using QU 32 and I have an issue to receive an audio on my Macbook Pro using a USB cord. I need to be able to hear Mix 5 and Mix 6 as my main output for our Live. Please help me out
What software are you using on your macbook?
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 I am trying to use ProPresenter or OBS
Hi Rob, thanks for this advice! I hope you can help me with another question: I have a record with 20 tracks. I want to use the QU24 for mixing (EQ, Compressor, Effects, etc.) and the tracks in cubase are completely dry. My question: Is it possible that I make a mix-export in Cubase, with al the effects from the QU24? it is hard to explain, but I hope you understand me. ;)
Thx Reiner. The QU setup makes a separate audio signal for FX. In other words, the channel audio will always be dry and you would need to record the FX return to get audio with FX applied. This is actually by design since most recording engineers want the dry audio and FX audio separate. The only way to record an audio channel with FX already applied, would be to setup the FX as a channel insert. I have a video on that process
Thanx Rob for your very quick answer! Do you have a link of that video?
@@reinossh czcams.com/video/Xdoquig5aJU/video.html. Although this video specifically addresses the qu16, the config of FX is exactly the same on the 24 and 32
Thnx a lot!!!!!!!
Am I right that the effect is only possible on 1 channel?
There's any way that the stereo output can come out of any other channel than 1 and 2? Please if you can answer this
The stereo device can only listen to the first two channels, however you can assign any other source to those channels.
Thank you for sharing sir. I have a QU-24, how can I set it up in order to record live with all of the FX? I tried it thru Audition and all I got was the raw mic signal and no effect at all
Thx Nhat. Hope you found it helpful. Unfortunately USB recording defaults to the direct out of each channel since the vast majority of those recording prefer not to include FX. Also the FX engine will process and include all channels assigned to that FX, so by default you cannot record a channel with FX as a separate discrete channel signal. The only way to record a single channel with FX is to first assign only that one channel to the FX and then set a USB record channel to pickup the designated FX return signal.
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 thank you for your reply. I will give it a try. Subscribed
Hello Rob, on my MG10 mixer, when I connect to my PC using USB for streaming, everything will go thru my computer as 1 single stereo mix down (mic 1,2,3,4, music, FX). Is there a way yo set the QU this way? I am trying to do live band streaming. Thank you again
@@nhat179 yes you can setup the qu to export a pair of stereo channels. Simply set USB ch 1&2 to the main outs you wish to record. Use L&R record the mains or any other mix outputs if you are creating a separate mix for output. I’ve created a video that explains this.
czcams.com/video/ZSt7mea6Rhc/video.html
Can you please say me how to send only desired channels through Usb b streaming
Great question and Thx. if you have followed the video then you already have half the answer. Once you assign a mix or mixes to the USB you only need to select that mix layer and turn up the channels you want to send to USB. of course you also turn down the channels you don’t want going out to ISB
Hi, thanks for the vid. Clear and well presented. I'm using the 24/12 stage box with the main L/R (11/12) out going to PA and wanting to send mix 9/10 to stream via USB-B. When I've followed these instructions on the video it sends mix 9/10 to respective outputs on stagebox as it should but It still sends main L/R down the USB B for streaming. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong... advice would be appreciated. I'm an SQ user but have a QU at my school. To get around this I've sent the main L/R to stream and mix 9/10 to FOH. Cheers & Thanks.
Thx Craig. Glad it was helpful. These instructions assume you are sending USB to a simple stereo only device, like an iPhone or iPad which only listens to CH1 & CH2. If you are sending USB to a daw (computer) then most likely the device is listening to the full USB stream and picking up the default stereo output which is CH17 & CH18 ( see the box around those two channels on screen). Try changing 17&18 to mix9&10.
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Yes I am sending to computer. Not a DAW but to OBS. I dont have the desk in front of me at the moment but will try your suggestion later. Cheers
Hi, I am trying to record our church service in audacity using the USB B to my laptop, I'm only getting Chanel 1 in audacity, every other Chanel nothing coming in, every thing is default, I can record to the USB stick, which is fine, but would like to use USB B for live streaming OBS either using my house mix or using a separate mix, Thank you.
Hi Willy. As far as I know, Audacity can only record one channel at a time. You can repeat the process to create a multiple channel project, but again only one at a time. It’s not a multichannel recording app. Try Reaper it works quite well
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 thank you, i will try reaper.
Hi Rob,
So I just got a QU24 and was wondering if you could help me out.
I am using Logic.
When mixing a project I am able to rout all my channels from logic into my QU24. I am however unable to get my mains recorded back into Logic and have tried everything I can think of.
As I understand it, the LR mains go back out on 17 &18. So in my daw I set a new track input to 17&18. I arm and can see weak signal when on play back. When I try to record back in, I get no signal.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help!!
Welcome to the qu24. The LR association with 17 & 18 is limited to the qdrive one the qu16 specifically. The qu16 only outputs 18ch total so it defaults LR to 17 & 18. The qu24 however will output a total of 32 channels. This allows you to use you to use the first 24 USB ch as the 24 input channels on the board. The last 8 USB ch can then be assigned outputs should you want to record those. In you case to record LR, decide which USB ch you want to use (25-32). Lets say 25-26. On the output Patch / USB audio tab press the 19-32 button to get to the second page. Tap 25 and use the input dial to set it to L, then tap 26 and use the input dial to set it to R. In logic you should now be able to record LR on chs 25-26
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Thanks for the super fast response!
So I now have 25-26 set to L and R.
In Logic I see audio coming back in on my return track set to 25-2...but the audio is VERY low. Prints a flat line with no wav form and no sound. Any ideas?
If you can see an audio level coming into 25-26 ytou should certainly be able to record that signal. If nothing happens when you press record, is it possible you have not armed 25-26 for recording?
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Hey Rob,
Nope, 25-26 is armed. When unarmed no signal shows. When armed it gets a very weak signal.
I'm fairly certain its connected correctly but for some reason the return signal is just too weak for logic.
The signal increases and decreases with the master fader.
Im not sure if its a malfunction on the unit itself. It was a "slightly blemished" unit from American Musical Supply.
Also, the DAW Controller section doesn't work on this as it should, that isn't a main concern. But being able to capture a stereo track back into my DAW is! lol
Maybe back up a step… have you confirmed you have the latest firmware (July 2018 v1.9)? Even if yes, it might be a good idea to reinstall it
Thanks, mine only picks up the signal on channel 17 and 18, when I set it to input 1&2 it doesn’t work, any idea why?
This video addresses sending signal OUT thru USB. since you’re talking about ch17&18 which are the default designation for L&R i’ll assume you’re trying get USB signal back INTO the qu desk. In that case you need to choose output channels on your software
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 USB is exactly where I’m sending the signal to. All I’m saying is, I only pickup sound when MIX9&10 is routed to 17&18; routing to channel 1&2 I get no sound ; it’s just silent and I can’t figure out why.
Quick question. I've done this and works but....... I basically I full sound coming out of each studio monitor, and each separate side isn't isolated to the left or to the right. So both left and right coming out of both speakers. Can you elaborate on this for me?
Great question Bryan. In the QU setup the designation of “Left and Right” can be confusing because it doesn’t really mean a stereo signal. By default, all channels are panned full center so signal goes to L&R equally. The only way to get a true stereo signal is the adjust the Pan on each individual channel. If you want signal in left only then you need to move the Pan of that channel to the left etc.
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 So let’s say in my daw that I have a track panned left and then another track panned right….. and I run a playback. This is what I’m trying to get out of the mixer into the monitors and I can’t get those channels to work independently. Where if I use my small Scarlett interface the monitor inputs are simply right and left and the pans work accordingly. Does that make sense? I’m just struggling with this part a bit. Thanks for your feedback
The two tracks that you are playing back need to have the pan set on the desk to create separate LR signals. As far as the desk is concerned, the signal being sent from the daw is mono regardless of where the pan might be set in the daw. Use the desk Pan
Rob - related but need your help - 2 Q's please:
1) This video talks about routing a mix to USB. Other videos show how to route a mix to QU-Drive for recording (ex. route 5/6 to Ch. 17 and 18). But those videos and the AH user guide ONLY address "Stereo Recording". My question is if I route Mix 5/6 to channels 17/18 but do a MULTI-track recording - do you know if 5/6 will end up on 17/18? Meaning recorded tracks 1-16 are the individual input channels, but 17/18 are my routed 5/6, not the default L+R?
2) I've seen sources that say you CAN choose which of the 18 tracks to record multi...like inputs 1-5 only... but don't tell you how. I cannot find any way to do this. I've also read it's always all 18, no choosing. Any thoughts?
Thank you.
Great questions.
1) That is correct. Assigning the channels for USB is a single interface that applies to both USB ports (rear port for a computer and the front port for q-drive)
2) Yes you can choose. Open the USB dialog screen where all 18 channels are listed. Tap any channel to highlight, then use the dial knob to choose the channel to be recorded in that spot. You can also dial it all the way around to "X" to essentially turn out off. NOTE however: the q-drive software will "record" all 18 channels regardless of the source you choose. Some of the resulting WAV files will simply be blank...but you will always got 18 of them
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Thanks for the quick response. I have limited access to the venue's QU and don't have a lot of experimental time with it. I'll route mix 5/6 to 17/18, do the multi-track record, and check the recording after the show. (The goal is mix 5/6 attempts to capture the band's performance mix, whereas Main outs 17/18 are the house reinforcement mix - they'll be quite different ;^). Thanks again. Vids are super helpful.
I record all my 32 channels at the same time on my daw (logic) but when I play back I’m getting this clicking, static noise noise on all the Channel, is anybody else run into the same problem, any solution?

Could I Connect Smart phone to the USB output for facebook live stream?
Great question. Haven’t done that one myself and my qu is in the trailer this week however I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. As long as you can set the phone to get its audio from USB then give it a shot and let us know
I have come to the conclusion that this is different to the Qu-32. We are hoping on using mix 9-10 for livestream on our QU-32 but are unable to get the audio from sound desk to pc (windows) over USB-B Could you give us a detailed step by step?
Actually Dave, the USB setup is exactly the same on each of the qu series boards, so there is no diff on the qu-32 from what I demonstrated using the qu-16. Also not sure what more of a step by step I can offer than Ive already done on this video. Perhaps the issue is in the config on your pc. What software are you using for your livestream?
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 I heard someone say something that the QU-24 and QU-16 would show up on the computer as QU-16 ST1 and that it wouldn't be the same for the QU-32, therefore my question. Thanks for enlightening me! Currently using OBS. After commenting on your video i watched another one and apparently when a QU-32 sound desk is connected to OBS, OBS doesn't recognise it as an audio device so supposedly we have to download a driver called OBS Asio to do so. Also I saw someone say that we have to go on Processing then Source and change everything from Local to USB B Streaming. Am I right or is there no need for that? Thanks in advance
Yes, OBS will require an asio driver (downloaded from their site I believe).
Changing the source for channels only impacts the “input”. You are selecting the location of the incoming source signal for the channels your change. local = input signal for that channel comes from the physical XLR jack on the back of the QU32. USB = input signal for that channel comes from the Qdrive USB device plugged in to the top of the QU32. USB streaming = input signal for that channel comes from the USB port on the back of the unit where you have your PC/MAC computer connected. Its unlikely that you are playing back audio from OBS into the QU32 so you really have no need to change any channel input sources.
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 thanks a million. I will try that and get back to you. Have a good one
Side quest! Is it possible to split the stereo outs to mono?
Thx for the question. It depends on your software and if it will allow you to choose to record each channel of the stereo signal onto a separate channel. I know for instance that Audacity will NOT. It only sees the incoming stereo channel as a single input signal
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 thanks! I’m thinking more for mono monitor mixes
Then no. You might try to hard pan some channels which will seperate the l & r of the stereo mix but it’s not really two mono from a stereo output.
Will this work for matrix 1&2
Yes you should be able to simply dial up Mtx1&2 instead of Mix9&10
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 thanks, I want to use it to send to obs and zoom
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 ok this might be a stupid question but by default as you stated in the usb I/O audio patch goes to channel 1 of the usb stereo input of the recorder. So when sending a signal to either OBS or Zoom when I select QU / Stereo out it receives whatever is on channel 1 and 2
So I have configured matrix 1&2 to receive L&R to send to other outputs. If I dial the usb I/O patch to channel 1 to matrix L and channel 2 to matrix R I should be able to control the level going to either OBS or Zoom as long as I have QU Stereo out selected as my audio input.
Rob, im still having major issues w my Q 16. i have a mic in input 2, then 3-4 & 5-6 i have 2 cd players connected and 7-8 a cassette deck playback ..how do i hear them AND how do I get them to be recordable in my pro tools session. a week or so ago i was able to HEAR the mic and CD players and played them out thru channels 15-16 to the Q output fader....now i have nothing...im using a Scarlett to get my mic in and i cant hear the audio of 2-6..im ready to toss this QU over the fence...
Sorry you’re having issues but I assure that you dont need to toss the QU16…once you get it sorted it will do fine job. Let’s try one issue at a time. 1) How do I hear them and how to have them record in pro tools. Make sure that your USB setup is 1 to 1… in other words on the USB setup screen (which I refer to in this video) USB1 = Ch1…USB2 = Ch2… USB3 = ch3 etc. Next for playback, make sure the source for all QU channels is “local”. In other words the QU is taking input signal from the XLR connection for each channel physically on the desk. Once thats confirmed, then pro tools should see each of the channels on the QU as an input. Set each track to record a channel from the QU. After recording, assuming you then want to replay that recording you need to change the input source for each QU channel to be “USB”. You now want the QU to take the input for each channel from USB rather than from the XLR port.
