What a Wonderful World
In 1960 Sam Cooke released “What a Wonderful World” and was followed by others like Herman’s Hermits (1965) and Simon & Garfunkel with James Taylor (1978). It would be Sam’s biggest selling single, yet to this day there is no known footage of him actually performing the song.

Is the fx engine independently assigned to each microphone channel? In other words with your example using an outboard fx it would only be useable on a single mic channel. Correct?
It can be but is NOT by default. If you set the FX to be insert then it will only be assigned to the channel you choose
So let’s say you send 2 mic channels to the fx engine won’t the return contain both mics? I guess what I’m confused about is you have a 16 channel board and let’s say you want all 16 to get reverb. Won’t the return for any channel contain all channels? Hope this makes sense.
@@bradharris3150 If you send 2 mic ch to the same FX, then yes the FX will contain both mics. Unless as I mentioned, you configure the FX to be an Insert, then its only the channel you specify. 2 - Also correct, if you want all 16 to have reverb, the return will contain all 16 channels. The option would be to use the 4 FX engines for 4 "groups" of mic vhannels. (Eg. Send 6 mics to each of the 4 FX engines). Alternately you could set each of the 4 FX to be Inserts and use them on only 4 channels. There is simply no way to get 16 individual FX (eg. One per channel) on the QU series boards. The max is the 4 FX engines available
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 copy that. Thank you.
Great! Really understanding
Thanx again dude ! : )
I am really confused here! I always thought the effects returns should be always be at unity and it’s the sends that govern how much you want……not the other way around as on this video???
Great question. It’s just a matter of tracing the signal path and deciding how you want to adjust it. Since the FXReturn is specific to an output, you can adjust the return if you only want the FX to change in one output but not in another. The FXsend simply puts signal into the FX engine so changing the send level will impact all outputs where you have added the FXReturn. Hope that helps
Thanks !
❤❤❤ great job brother 🎉🎉🎉
hi, Can I ask one more thing? You are so kind.. How can I (in QU16) change the mix outputs 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 in mono separate mix? (if i can)? I work in a music school in Italy and i Invite all my students to follow you :-)... We have also the expand Allen & Heath AB168 and the cable...
Nice
Very simple instructions. Great job
Absolutely brilliant explanation.
Why I can not effect send to monitor?
Check: Does your monitors are (physically) connected to the selected Aux/Mix/Bus. Also check the internal patching whethere the connected channel has been moved or replaced for some reason!
Rob how do i get my reverb assignment out of mix 3 and return Mix 3 to a monitor send. I went to back panel of reverb on screen and unassigned it and re-eq'd it as a monitor send but the eq curve I used for the reverb is making my monitors sound terrible thin as I rolled all the lo end off on the reverb send eq. I cant figure out how to get that old eq curve back to correct the monitor send eq curve.
Thank you so much, absolute lifesaver!!!
Thanks. Excellent and clear explanation. And also slowly enough delivered that I could follow it, unlike many other mixer videos. After making a little cheat sheet, I could add reverb to the singer's monitor and made her happy.
Thank You very much. What did we do before youtube and kind helpful folks like you. The number of people who have needed this tells me I am not alone in finding the users manual inadequate for my level of inexperience with digital mixers.
Thx for the kind words. Glad you found it helpful
Oh my, this is absolutely a fantastic tutorial, I had my new qu16 on a gig recently and couldn't separate the monitor reverb from the main output, the monitor reverb was all over the place and finished up switching the monitor off. Thank you for this indept tutorial, much appreciated 🙏 💖
Awesome!!! Thank God for Rob's very valuable presentation.
This video is so simple but a huge teach about sending and return. Plus how to make it work in a digital mixer. Thanks for making this!💯
Thx
Trying to find the return on the custom layer was fun 🔥
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 I do mean second layer! I find it a very front facing console and not too much is hidden. It's also really fun to sort out the routing when using USB mode especially! Thanks for this video I send it around all the time to explain what I can't over the phone!
Brilliant brilliant video. Been trying to work out how to do this for so long. This video makes it nice and clear :)
How do you set different level of fx for different mic ?
Use the FX send layer to adjust individual mics
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Thank you.. I have one more question. I have a Mix with 2 Wireless Mic and a Backing track (Stereo MP3) , if I pop or speak too close to mic, the backing track level (on speaker ) goes down. Tried multiple mic and couple of mixers, Qu-16, Yamaha MG and Tascam Model 12. Any clue on what might went wrong ?. Issues with Speaker / Amp ?
What you are describing is called “Ducking”. When one signal is reduced when another channel has signal. Make sure that Ducking is turned OFF on the backing track channel
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 thank you ... But I see it's not the case.... And is not happening always... It's strange behaviour and not seeing it with headphone mix... Only happening with speakers. , No matter what ever the mix bus I use .. Investigating further 😄
I've been trying to understand this for some time... This was everything that I was looking for. Thank you!!
Very helpful Rob, just got called to help a friend balance the room on the QU 32 which I never have touched before - studying up so I don't kill everybody on stage LOL. Nice, concise explanation! Appreciate your work and knowledge very much
Thanks Rob for doing this great info that i needed !
Please Hindi language
None of the Allen Heath tutorials explained that very important lesson. Thank you Sir for making it so simple
I still have no FX coming through my monitor 🤷♂️
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Thank you for the reply. Yes. I have FX on Main L/R I’m following your video, but nothing in my monitors.
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Nothing is muted. Now I’ve lost all fx. Out front is gone now. 😫
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Hi. Ok so I’ve watched your tutorial again and have got my fx back FOH. But still no luck with the monitor
And what change did you have to make to get FOH fx back?
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Is it normal to have bleed from the monitors though. What I was doing wrong was that I was turning down the slider for my mains, leaving no signal to work with, so I just turned down the volume on my speakers (Powered).
Thank you for this! Very clear explanation.
Thx Isaac. Glad it was helpful
Always good to start from basics...
I've been looking for this tutorial for over 6 months!!! Thank you Lord for letting me find it, and Thanks Rob for creating it!!!! It's easy to follow and understand! Perfections!!!
Thx John. Glad you found us and also that you found it helpful.
Ive also started a seperate channel specifically for these QU series tutorials. ruclips.net/channel/UCepIavD0Gu54Vl68iuhroxA
Hello, I have a problem, why is the effect applied to all mixes at the same level, I can't control them separately like you in the video, what am I doing wrong? Thank you
FX are only applied to any mix via the FXreturn. Make sure that FXreturn on each mix is adjusted accordingly.
Thank you. It does make sense!
Hi Rob. Great vid. For the life of me, I cannot get any effect to work on LR. I'm using FX 2, delay, and works fine on a mix output. I'm following the same instructions for the LR but nothing. The back panel on the 2 tap delay FX 2 is set to Mix>Returns. My aim is to have a delay on LR but not on any mix. Any help appreciated. Dan
may i ask whats the use of FX1 send on layer 1 ?
Hi and thx for the question. If you are referring to faders on the upper layer they are copies of the nine output master faders. Notice the box around the labels as a reminder that they are copies of existing controls
They are called faders... sliders are a type of food faders change audio signal
Thx Caleb. Guess it depends on which part of the globe you grew up in LOL. But thx for watching.
Do I set the fx to a pre or post fader setting?
FX should typically be post fader. I have posted another video on pre and post
SO helpful! Thank you!
Hello rob, for the usb streaming i try to get a diffrent mix, you explained realy well. Now the livestream is on mix 9 and 10. The effects is on post fader for the main outs. (If i soften the channel effects goes with) no for mix 9 and 10 the effect continues how can i make channel 9 and 10 also post fader. Greetings mart
Best explanation ever! Hard to stuff for A&H. Thank you!
Thx and welcome to the channel. Glad you found it helpful
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 Ooh. Forgot to sub. All the Best!
A very well explanation.
Got a funny problem. I have a mic for talk back on stage coming through the bands ears, however it bleeds through the stage foldbacks at times, however it the fader isn’t up on the mix sends for stage wedges?
Thx for the question. Any chance that mic is included in some other routing that goes to the wedges? Maybe it’s sent to an FX that is going to the wedges? Often the problems that are intermittent are the most difficult to track down. Since you suggest it only happens “at times” can you describe exactly when it happens?
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 thanks for replying brother. Finally figured it all out. What happened was, our sound guy was recording our service through logic but had the computer plugged in to the aux. So the mic was being sent to the desk, the desk to the laptop, and the laptop was sending it back through the aux. User error lol. Very amateur moment. Thanks for your help though. Love your content
Stellar tutorial and overview. Very well explained and easy for an aspiring sound engineer to understand. I'll share this content/video with our sound team. I'd love to hear some of your recent engineering work. Any concerts, church services, etc. you're able to share? Thank you Rob!
Thanks. I noticed reverbs in this unit is very sensitive, it can be noticed even the faders is as low as 25-30db. And also difficult to hear during live, so there’s a tendency to cranking up until heard. What tip can you recommend when trying to listen to effects? Is there such a thing like PAFL that can hear effects only? Thanks
Thx. You should be able to PAFL the FX Return channel to hear only the FX
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 is it possible to add eq in this reverb? I want to eq the drums tracks reverb only without affecting vocals reverb and of course without affecting the main channel eq of the drums. Thanks 🙏
The only way to “eq the drum reverb” would be to assign the drums to a separate eq and have the vocals on another reverb
Hi, Thanks alot to take times explain that. I have a question, when you are sending fx on th aux, did you not forgot to push up the master fx fader ? Thx
Thx Lau. Glad you enjoyed the video. Good catch by the way... didn’t think anyone would have noticed LOL. At 4:57 I accidentally turned down the FX1 Master. When using the upper layer, the last 9 faders are copies of the 9 master faders (notice the labels all have a box around them). Later when I went back to the FX send layer of course the master had been turned down. Again, good catch LOL
AWESOME
Thanks for helping.. Its really a blessing...
Superb, I didn't understand why I needed separate FX send and Return levels until today.
Thx Matt. Glad you found it helpful.
@@soundadvicewithrob3083 now I’ve found your channel, well channels which why should I look for for more great QU and PA instruction? Thanks for the videos.
Really enjoyed your tutorial, but there is one thing that has me stumped. I follow all the steps and it allows me to get the reverb on my vocal channel but it is not processing with the channel as I record. What happening is Im hearing the reverb but after the vocals with the prerecorded vocals but after words in post it is no longer there. How can I achieve
Rob McLaughlin I want to commit to the signal of a prerecorded vocal or instrument sort of like a plug in in pro tools. This will allow to not use as much DSP on my computer if I can use the Fx on my board
thank you
