Learn the easiest way to do virtual soundcheck on the Allen & Heath SQ using the built-in SQ Drive. This video walks you through how to set it up and make it easy to access your QU Drive inputs for playback.
Man, this is the type of feature that puts the SQ so much further ahead of the X32 (and since the Wing doesn't have a waves card, it makes it better than the wing too). Since Behringer treats the USB inputs as part of the card slot, you can't simultaneously run a waves card AND usb virtual tracks. On the SQ, the usb is a separate I/O than the card slot, so I can run the virtual tracks as my input and still use the card slot to insert fx from a waves card on the channel strip and dial in any presets I'm trying to accomplish on the waves racks without a band in the room. Huge.
Hey, thanks for this video! It helps a lot. I have a question- is there a way to record the virtual soundcheck exactly as we hear it, including all the FX and adjustments? I've tried multiple methods, even got the LiveTrax, but it's not working as expected. I'd really appreciate any guidance you can provide!
Do you mean each channel after processing or the final main signal? If you want to record each channel after processing, instead of Tie Lines, use Outputs->IP Direct Outputs, as well as the used Buses and FX in Mix Out and Rack FX respectively. You have to make sure that the Direct Out ist Post Comp/Dela: Routing > Direct Out Settings > Global Direct Out Settings. Is that what you mean?
@@peanutjam Hey, thank you for your response! What you said is great, and I will definitely need this information.
My question is: How can I record the virtual sound, even if it's just stereo (not multitrack)?
For example, I record 16 channels on the SQ-Drive. After recording the multitrack, I can play it back and adjust the virtual sound as I like. My question is: How can I now record this adjusted virtual sound-including effects, EQ, and other processing-into a DAW?
I hope this makes sense.
Hi, you said we will need a beefy thumb drive to record, so how big of a thumb drive will i require ?
Can you use this to mix an aux send for Live streaming?
Does setting it up to record during a live session/ church service affect all of its outputs such as to FOH and online streaming. I was going to try and record worship during a live service but FOH also controls the online streaming via a matrix, will routing the inputs to record affect the matrix output for streaming?
there's a maximum storage capacity on flash drive that supports the console ? and if I want to connect a ssd for multi track recording on sq drive port, its possible ?
Yes, you can use an SSD. According to Google: "The maximum USB drive size for an Allen & Heath SQ is 2 TB, limited by the FAT32 file system."
Can I use a thumb drive or any SSD drive to make that virtual recording. I always thought you had to use a computer or laptop.
A thumb drive or SSD is fine. You can use a computer to record into a DAW, but if you want to simply record them for playback on the mixer, using the SQ Drive is definitely the simpler option 🙂
Now would I be able to take that recording on the drive and take it to a daw? And edit it maybe for a video or just for mixing training
Can I do virtual sound check from via Dante. (The multitracks are on a computer with Dante Vitual Sound Card anf the SQ has the Dante Card)
Sure can! Just a matter of routing.
