I appreciate the workflow. The idea of isolating the talkback between monitors is super cool!
thanks
Thanks for Great videos.
thank you, thanks for watching
Awesome, helpful video Domenico. Thank you for sharing!
Question: You plugged the laptop into the network port of the SQ, but what if I need to have a router plugged into the network port of the SQ to use an ipad for control? Have you had success using a network switch with this setup? Do you have any recommendations for switchers that you know work with your setup?
Thank you for all of your extensive knowledge on this subject!
Joel
Hello Joel,
thank you for watching.
Yes you can use without any problem a normal ethernet swither, something like this amzn.to/43YBWmr
@@imdomtrotta - Would you be interested in doing a video showing how you setup your switcher? Explaining how it all works together? I'm not familiar with networking in the audio world. Well, networking in general, really. LOL
@@joelglaser5657 I will try to make one. what do you want to see? the all process?
@@imdomtrotta - Yes, whatever information that you can share as far as how it's all hooked up and why. Your general thoughts on how you use networking in audio.
Thank you so much for considering this!
Hey great video btw have you seen a way to use the new allen & heath cq18t with companion?
Hello there, thank you for watching! at the moment there isn't any module for the CQ Series
@@imdomtrotta appreciate the reply. im hoping they make one soon I guess it just hasn’t been out long enough yet
Hey, great to see this working. Do you know if this woyld work with loupedeck? It s basically a streamdeck with with knobs ... would it bepossible for instance to click on FX1 button and to have the 4 knobs on the left assigned to the sendToFader ... and the 4 knobs at the right some parameters of the fx itself ....
uhmm you need to see if you can use that with companion, try to check on the bitfocus website and see if it's possible
A Loupedeck currently isn’t able to be used with companion. It would be great to have those features though!
@@DanBamberAudio the razer stream controller seems to be compatible. But other question, is there a sort of midi-learn function on the loupedeck or streamdeck?
@@vinz440 The Razer is a repackaged Loupedeck, both of which aren't supported with Companion. Software is just reskinned but in razers adware synapse. The only encoders to currently work inside Companion is the TBar on XKeys. I bet that Elegato will bring out a contender to the Loupe&Razer which hopefully the developers will add to the list of compatible controllers.
Anyone know if similar functions can be achieved with touch portal on the sq
Hi, I have a new band to work with this week. They are using qlab and live mics/ instruments. They request a monitor mixer and foh. I have sat for monitor mix and sq6 for foh. Live (local) input to sq5 are channels 1 to 14, qlab (via USB input) 15 to 26.
Will the q lab 'self populate' the sq5? And will those settings also populate the sq6 (front of house)?
I assume the 2 desks will be connected via a link?
Thanks
Sorry, sq5 for monitor mix desk!
Hello @mshep6318, so this is how I will approach this.
1. you will need a Slink to be able to connect the 2 desk FOH and MON
2. USB B to your Qlab Machine
3. You will need to patch the USB B Channel (Qlab output) to channel 15 to 26.
4. Use Tie Liens to send your Qlab Channel to your Monitor Desk
Hey, maybe a stupid question ... but -after setup- can you connect the streamdeck directly to the sq ?
Yeah you can connect the stream deck at any time
@@imdomtrotta ow ... that s cool because i just saw on other sites that a pc was needed ... but if you say that we can connect the streamdeck to the sq without pc/laptop that would be awesome
@@vinz440 Hey sorry didn't undestad your question before. You will ALWAYS need a PC/Laptop to make the stream deck work. You need the Companion app installed on the pc and link this to the desk as I showed in the video
You can run companion on a Raspberry Pi, they're not very expensive and can be really useful in this situation.
Once again, I'm putting in an ip address as instructed and not getting a connection. Why does it look so easy?
make sure that you PC/MAC is in the same range IP of your SQ.
example:
SQ: 192.168.1.2
PC/MAC: 192.168.1.3
and in the companion APP you need to put the SQ ip address can you find in the Network Setup page.
I always suggest to use more than just SQ and PC have a router that will take care of DCHP and distribution of IP
@@imdomtrotta my pc starts with a 169. And the qu starts with 192. Do I change the ip on my pc or the mixer?
@@Aspauli you need be on static ip if you not using a router.
so you need to change on your PC
I am using a router, I am connected to my pc and the mixer
cool make sure they are all the same ip range and static ip@@Aspauli
