I am impressed of how you demonstrate the features, not just saying that they are there. ALOT of the reviews are geared for the person that knows the jargon.
And can instinctively know what buttons to push, and what they do.
I am not that person. I wish someone would develop a training app for a vertual machine for the TouchMix 30 pro.
Thank you for your efforts. .. and good work. ..
Very helpful video for someone like me who is going from my old analog Soundcraft 16 channel to the QSC 16. Thank you so much for all of this information!
Great little mixer. I use one regularly for various acoustic shows and it does great.
wow, choc-a-block with features, what a little gem this little mixer is. Thanks for the video, cheers!!!
this console is extremely powerful. i am a freelance a/v tech in toronto and using the ipad app, i discovered all the features that are not easily seen on the unit itself.
great little desk. if they made a remote 32 channel head for i/o it would be amazing.
they could do it for pennies, and make millions.
Best explanation of features yet, excellent
Thanks Chris!
excellent and clear description of the desk. Helps me greatly in my move to the digital realm of desks. Thanks
Your welcome Scott, thanks for watching and thanks for reaching out and saying hello!
My favorite feature on this board is the ability to save mixes and recall them later. I've only ever seen that on much larger, more expensive boards.
You'll pry my Touchmix-16 from my cold dead hands!
Very nice videos, very supportive 👍
Great job on these videos-Thank you.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate the support!
Can only agree with the many comments of professionalism of presentation and the fact that, unlike more than 90% of audio review videos (including my own), you do a superb job of recording the audio so there is very little room ambience. Thank you!
Henry Van Weeren Thanks Henry, I appreciate the positive feedback! Hope you have a great day ✌🏼
The QSC TouchMix 30 takes the 8 to a whole 'nother level. I would be VERY tempted to buy that model. Will there be an Episode 2 for the Presonus featured in video #112 soon :) ?
@@DcSoundOp You have a great evening too!
Loved my Xair16 so much I sold it to upgrade to the Midas MR18. (On order.)
You can draw in eq: no need for the knobs! Super handy.
monomerx001 Those are both on the top of my list to get a hold of for an in depth review in the near future for sure! Incredible little mixers for the price!
Great review/tutorial
Thank you!
My Phones jack isn't working and I can't find it in settings where to pick what you route to it. I see the volume adjust up or down when you tap one the heaphone button - but no details on routing channels to it.
Now I use the 1/4 Aux 3 and 4 to use with headphones but I thought Phones was all channels.
Can you delay the right main output and not the left? Or would you need to setup an aux send for some delay speakers?
I love your detailed tutorial, question, can you do a tutorial for us Dj's I look all over RUclips and no luck... I use all qsc equipments, two subs to k12s top and the touchMix.. with two mc's... thanks Ray
Is there a way to eq your room with a room mic like a drive eco function?
you are awesome!
Thanks! You seem pretty cool too 👍🏼
Great review! BTW, have you tested the mic pre's?
Richard Amoroso Thanks Richard! So the mic pre thing... it’s a very popular question, but one that’s mostly impossible to answer. On a digital console, how do you isolate the pre from the rest of the signal chain? How do you decide if it’s the preamp stage or the a/d converter or the signal chain as a whole that you want to credit or blame for what you hear.
I’ve had people who complain “x-console has noisy pres” on gigs, but then I see them mix and their gain structure is bananas... so I tend to take those opinions cautiously as well.
I’m not saying that a good pres are without merit, only that marketing over the years has put WAY too much emphasis on ‘great pres’ or ‘xxx designed pres’ (I’m looking at you Midas!) for it to mean anything anymore.
Sweet Thanks !!
Muito bom !!!!
Muito obrigado!
Nice.
very clear informative video! thanks for not chatting to hear your own voice lol
You prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend recently :)
@Malachi Nova yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
Hi, how do you setup DR-05 for recording from mixer? Do you use some kind of pad or just lower the input sensitivity?
Hi Milko, with the DR-05 I simply turn the input down like you suggested. I always carry one of these cables in my bag amzn.to/2mP2XnR for connecting a mono feed to these types of small recorders.
It never hurts to have a pad or two on hand for unusual situations, I've always been a fan of the old-school Shure pads - amzn.to/2mP4oT6
A company I work for used to have an OLD soundcraft mixer (if I remember correctly) that had no pads built in, & they would carry a bin of like 16 or 24 of those Shure pads with the mixer!! That's nearly $1k in pads for a mixer that wasn't worth nearly that much. The mixer is long gone, but those pads are still going strong!
I'm deciding between this and the Allen & Heath Qu Pac. These are both fairly complicated products but I will mainly use this for corporate conference settings where there are lots of wireless microphones and I would ideally like to lessen the feedback for a clean main out but also have a solid channel-isolated recording. Both this and the Qu-Pac will do the job, but I don't know if I'll need the dSnake option on the A&H mixer, but that seems to make it feel more future proof (but 16 XLR channels seems like a lot already anyway and the TouchMix 16 is very light in weight compared to the QuPac)
Thanks for the message. It sounds like you've still got some deciding to do on the features (like a digital snake) that are going to be the most important to you. If a digital snake is something you're thinking you'll want down the line, I'd start moving that direction now.
I'm not experienced with the Qu Pac, but there are lots of other similarly priced options (Midas, Behringer etc.) for that type of configuration. Maybe find someone who can rent or loan you one to try out before you spend big money on a whole setup.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the response, I will probably have to test extensively. The digital snake seems to be a much more solid option so I can have a stage box with about 12 wired mics.
From my research I noticed some people saying that the TouchMixes get hot and also eventually become somewhat unstable. i.e. random shut downs. Has this happened to you at all?
Also, to add something new to the mix is that I really like the RTA function on the QSC mixers (I saw this somewhere for the TM16 & TM30). However, I think a dbx Driverack PA2 is what I'm leaning towards together with the Qu-Pac.
Very cool video. QSC does give output delay, which is very nice, but they don't give RTA...
They do now! (Firmware V3)
Some of these had issues with the power supply. If yours is shutting off intermittently on it's own, just call QSC and they'll send you a new power supply.
Thanks for the solid advise!
I need help is there a way for me to get the mixer to output into a mic that can be connect to a laptop? I have several mic that are attach to the mixer but I need it to connect to the laptop mic as a single source.
Hi, if you need to connect to a laptop's mic input to get audio into it, the easiest way with this mixer would be to create an AUX send and adapt that output to the 3.5mm connector for the laptop. I keep a few of these on hand for working with laptops or phones with a combo jack - amzn.to/3yg1Fqe (Affiliate link) but otherwise you'll just need to turn down the AUX send output to get a low enough level. Alternatively you could use an inline pad to get the level reduced, something in the -35 to -55 range would work well. Let me know if that makes sense, or if you have any more questions!
can you record to protools and use the touchmix as the interface??
Touchmix 30 can.
Hi ! If you use a digital mixer, you still need an external equalizer component set up?
This mixer has graphic and parametric eq built in at the outputs. The channel EQ is very usable too & there is an RTA function built in to help you find the trouble frequencies. I've done tons of small and large events with just the TouchMix and it works great. Thanks for the message Thanh!
This is probably an ignorant question but where and how to is Monitors? I want to send certain mics front and others to players I.e. vocals, instrument. Thanks
Hey John, so typically on mixing consoles now you won't use the 'monitors' output for sending mixes to musicians. You're not the only one to be thrown a curveball by this, it gets a lot of folks. The way we do it is with AUX sends, which this mixer has a bunch. Each musician gets an aux send for their mix, and that gives you control over what each of them hear. Pre-fade aux sends are useful for sending mixes to musicians, since once you set a level it will stay there. Post fade aux-sends are useful for things like reverb or effects, where you want the level being sent to track as you turn things up and down in the main mix. Let me know if that makes sense when you're looking at your mixer again.
How can u get a monitor in ear mix for iems? I cant seem to anything when I connect my iems to the headphones jack
Hey, good question. You typically wouldn't connect your IEMs directly to the headphone output of a mixer, although you certainly could do it that way. With a regular pair of IEM's connected to the headphone output, you should hear something though. Do regular headphones work with your mixer?
You may consider checking out pg.98 in the manual about how the headphone & cue modes work - www.qsc.com/resource-files/productresources/mix/q_mix_tmix_8_16_30_usermanual.pdf
In most cases though for IEMs, you would create an aux mix for each musician, which would feed their individual in-ear monitors. Typically, the IEM's are connected to either a wireless or hardwired unit that acts as a headphone amplifier, simple mixer and in many cases a limiting or protection circuit.
I would need to know a bit more about your setup and how you have things connected, routed etc. before I could help much more.
DcSoundOp thanx for replying , I’ve been using a basic behringer q802 portable mixer that I just connect the headphone out to my iems, I use a 12ft cord that I attach to my belt and just plug my iems directly to, I figure the headphones out should have a signal but I’m not hearing anything outta mine. I appreciate ur response , als I’m just a singer guitarist , i use 2 inputs , 3 sometimes
Oh, right on... so on a TouchMix, it's very easy to miss, but you've got to hit the [Monitor] button and then use the main knob to adjust the headphone level, it is often all the way off from the factory.
Let me know if that helps.
DcSoundOp discovered the “CUE” button !!!!
Can I route my down line speakers out of an Aux bus and still access the delay function?
Not sure I understand what you mean by 'down line' speakers, but yes, you can access delay on all aux outputs. Thanks for the question!
Thanks. 4 speakers - 2 at the stage, 2 more that are 20 feet away.
Hi! Hi have a big problem: I recorded evertything and when I exported it to toucmix app and then put it on a daw, the volume is soooooooo low, an unbelievable sound, I'm desperate, can you help me? thank you so much
꧁ Anima Latina ꧂ Hi, depending on what you’ve recorded and what software you are using, you may want to normalize the tracks. Did you have good levels in the mixer during the performance?
@@DcSoundOp yes It you have an email i can show you them by a pic. I tried on logic X pro and reaper

Great video about a great little mixer!
Does it have a USB audio interface?
No these do not have that functionality. They're great little mixers though.
@@DcSoundOp Totally agree with you!
Pristine sound, great FX - lots of options and ease of use, not to mention a built-in manual, rather than the usual PDF files you get from most companies.
I hope I can find a workable way to power these off-grid.
The other big drawback to me is the lack of a USB interface, which is hard to figure, given how cheap USB interfaces are to integrate.
I've heard from some users, that tracks recorded to external hard disc arrive in a jumble on your DAW system and need to be re-aligned to work on... That is one thing that doesn't adhere to QSC's "no compromises" stance.
QSC told me to buy a TouchMix 30 Pro, which does have a USB interface.
But that is nearly as bulky as my existing SQ-5, wich has higher specs, so why bother? Its the small size and weight I'm interested in.
you said you can only have a mixer in a job that has hardware control, than in a couple months you buy a soundcraft and is already disapointed with it. But i, in 3 years never had a single problem with my DL1608.
Have you done the DL1608 yet?
I haven't had the chance to yet unfortunately. Thanks for the message!
we should talk about the x32 rack
I’d love to get a hold of one to review, but it’s a fair chunk of money to buy one. There are so many x32 videos out by folks who use them everyday, It’s hard to commit the money for me.
if you have a $5000. 8000watt PA system you don"t want to run it with a $400 mixer. The Touch mix is definatly the way to go.
Great little mixer. I use one regularly for various acoustic shows and it does great.
