Hello everyone! I became a happy owner of QU-SB. How to correctly send FX effects to the monitor line (eg MIX 5-6), so that it does not affect the main RL? Thank you in advance.
You do it the same as any other channel:
-
Select your Mix. The faders now function to send the channels to that Mix without any effect on your L/R mains bus.
-
Select layer 2 (St1/2/3, Fx returns/sends, Mix levels) and raise the Fx return fader to feed the currently selected Mix.
You’re done.
Except that QU-SB does not actually have a “layer 2” as you’ll be mixing from an iPad!
So, select the FX tab (left of screen) to get to the effects returns and add then to Mix 5+6 in the same way as you would for a mic.
Thanks for answers. I will write in detail.
I connect a vocal microphone with an 3 Pin XLR Female To Dual Male Audio Adapter Cable (Y cables) to channel 5 for the RL and to channel 6 (pre fader) for the monitor line (mix 5-6). I send the hall effect to channels 5 and 6. Everything is working.
But, when I turn off channel 5, it is audible with fx processing (hall) in the monitor line (mix 5-6).
How to get rid of this? Thank you.
So, how are your effects set up. You can not send them to channel 5 and 6, though you could have set up effects as an insert on these. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean your sending the FX returns to Mix 5+6?
If you’re using 2 channels for the vocal and you want different effects for monitor & FOH (L+R) you’ll need 2 effects engines to get them acting independently.
I have one vocal channel (5) going to the total mix of LR, and the second (6) (It is parallel to channel 5) goes only to the monitor lines. This channel for monitor lines has another equalization, but the effects are the same as in channel 5.
Sorry, it’s hard for me to explain. Attached photos. Thank you.

So you basically want 2 exact copies of Tanya going to LR and mix 5/6, only with different eq’ing and you don’t want “Tanya” and “Monit” to influence each other in any way ?

Giga, you’re right!
When I turn off Tanya’s channel(5), somehow the effects go to the main (LR).
Thank you.
Un-assign the monitor channel from the mains.
Go to your mains fader layer, push the (green, I think) Assign button on the left side of the console. All channels assigned to the mains will show a green light. While holding the Assign button, go to the monitor channel and de-select it. The green channel indicator light will go out and you should be good to go.
I suggest reading up on assigning channels, channel pre- post- and such stuff in the Manual.
Can you post the scene in which this happens ? Maybe on your cloudaccount ? I’d like to check this on my machine…
Giga
Thanks for the answer.
Dick, I have a mixing console QU-SB and there are no layers.
I’m mixing with the ipad.
Giga, it will be in the afternoon.
Giga, I attached the photos above.
Try on the first photo (IMG_0263.PNG) channel Tanya “off” or put the fader on “0”
The rest is done in other photos. It should turn out like mine. Thanks for the help.
No, I mean a copy of the scene as it is stored on your Qu-drive that I can copy to my Qu-Drive. Nice touch with the photos btw…

Ok - think I see the problem.
Looking at the second photo, try not sending the monitor channel (6) to the effects. So FX1 only gets the TANYA Ch(5) signal.
Is this what you want?
Likely it is - you’ll need to burn a second FX unit to supply the monitors
Mark! I need the effect on channel 6 in the monitor line and the effect on channel 5, which would have been heard in the main RL. They should not depend on each other.
Bob! I need all four fx effects for different musical instruments (drums,back vocal etc).
If you’re using all 4 effects units already, that’s it, unless you patch an external unit.
You need 2 units for these two sources to be independent of each other.
At the moment, I’m still not 100% what it is you want to be able to do. If you can tell us exactly what it that you need to control, there may be a clever way to work around with the groups and/or DCAs.
FX units aren’t magical - the input has the effect applied and there is a single output. You can’t separate the vocals afterwards…
I’d just use the FX from the FOH channel to supply the Monitor (assuming I gave them any FX at all)
Here’s my scene.
It seems to me that this will be more visible.

Leave as is, just turn off channel 5 “Tanya” and turn on channel 6 “Monit” (pre in mix 5-6) and say. Listen to the main RL, why do the effects sound there ???
Look at the photos.

Thank you.
From your previous set of photos, you’re sending Channel 6 to the FX, as well as Channel 5.
So the effects unit makes a reverb sound from the combination of those two sources, which then comes “out” of the effects unit, through the FX return channel, where you’re sending it to L+R and Mix 5+6.
