could you make a step by step video for complete beginners?
We will definitely appreciate that please 🙏
Absolutely! I've got more videos coming up in this series but what specifically would you like me to cover?
@@crosslylucasAll steps how we’re getting ready for our gig‘s after we plug in the mics and what focus we should have on each step. So at the end its like a „beginners guide“✌️
@@crosslylucas output limter and compression guide Sir. We appreciate your good work. I am a preacher who is new in digital mixing so to me vocal crystal clear sound with no clipping would be great. Thank you very much😄
@@ApostleGavinMachogo Thank you soo much for the support! I didn't cover how to set gain manually in this video... but a videos about compression and FX is coming up next... I'll try and cover how to get a good Vocal sound in that video.
great job! mine cq18t is coming this week haha
Ordered mine yesterday !
Excellent tutorials, thank you very much. I would appreciate it if you could make a tutorial on how to play mp3 from a card or usb, I can't, thank you
Great video! Thanks for taking the time. This kind of reminded me of the QSC TouchMix, which I know is getting very old now, but was definitely groundbreaking. Have you ever used the TouchMix? I know they also have selectable phantom power for channels as well as feedback prevention. I was thinking about getting a TouchMix and now I’m on the fence considering this.
Hi thanks for your comment! I haven't used the QSC TouchMix, but doing a quick search, it's similar to the CQ series mixers. The CQ mixers don't have DCAs or mute groups which is unfortunate but I love the wireless connectivity and the SD multitrack feature... I can see why you are torn between the two.
Great video! Is there any way to create custom banks so you can put certain channels next to each other in the processor without having to rearrange your input setup?
Yes this is possible with the new update. The custom layer allows the 'Fader Page' to be re-arranged with the ability to move faders around.
4:20 what kind of mics can phantom power damage? Dynamic? Because from what I’ve been told that won’t hurt dynamic mics.
Many ribbons mics are very sensitive to phantom power...
If I want to use the mixer as an USB Audio Interface, How many input can it capture via USB and how many outputs can it give ? Also, are the 6 1/4" mono outputs assignable or they have to be the master output ?
The mixer can record 18 Inputs, 4 outs, and 1 stereo main left and right.
The 6 outputs, can send independent mixes from the main left and right.
Just fired up my CQ-18 for the first time, and trying to follow your video, but your tip on "saving the Factory Settings in multiple places" isn't working, because my new CQ-18 doesn't have any pre-set Scenes when I go to the "Scene" tab. Any idea why? I'm using the latest firmware v1.1.1 if that helps.
In that case, I think you can just head to the scenes page and press the 'store new' and rename it 'Factory preset'
@@crosslylucas thanks for replying. But when I first start-up the mixer, there's literally no Scene to "store new". Like my -18 didn't come with any factory presets. Is that possible?
@@bobng4280 Hi, you might have to adjust a fader and then try to save it as a Factory Preset... If this doesn't work, I'm not sure what could be the problem...
Allen & Heath CQ18T how many OHM headphones can you connect?
Hi, I've been using the beyerdynamic DT 770 PROs (250 OHM) model and they work just fine.
and the voice is loud?
@@ArmanMartirosyan79 Yes. There is enough volume to get the headphones loud. Elements like the vocals are loud and clear through the headphones.
ok, thanks
Auto Feedback Correction is the worst thing ever created for live sound.
why?
@@luki_eh Well this would be a very long reply. But in short it’s lazy to use. The singer can be in the feedback zone the entire performance with the frequencies all cut out and sounding thin next to the monitors or mains with no feedback and the volume thin and reduced . Without the lazy feedback reduction the sound guy can pick out a few problem frequencies by turning the pa way up , and walking the mic around near the speakers, before the show . Then the sound is full and the vocals aren’t being thinned out in the mains if they get too close to the monitors or mains and they end up lost in the mix . Learn your frequencies like we use to. Feedback is a tool to gauge setting up a great front of house sound and can be manually reduced in 1 or 2 frequencies, and not automatically compensating and reducing 12 frequencies like the entire vocal mix. But you can’t learn it overnight and people have no patience today so the sound is awful when compared to a knowledgeable sound guy.
@@toddclarke1580 The tech is really a game changer if you are short of time to play around . With the spectrum analyzer its incredibly convenient and fast. Using the tech is much faster than old school ringing and far more precise. One can do it old school with this mixer of course but if you're mixing a festival or multiple bands its all about time. I suggest using the analyzer to find the problem frequencies and then turning off the auto ride function or adjust its sensitivity if possible. Just ordered it yesterday. Was going for the ui24 but the inability to easily acquire a large touch screen for it without having to add other outboard gear that would raise the price of admission almost half more forced me to reconsider . The A&H is a better unit all around and cheaper so .... I dont think its patience so much as convenience . I also know most that complain about the use of tech are technically illiterate and to (lazy and intellectually apathetic or challenged to grasp tech) . Its mostly laziness , as Im 64 myself and most people my age fall in those aforementioned categories . I guess its hard to teach the old dog a new trick.
Terrible tutorial it's just too slow
