I’m looking for some assistance with my CQ12T. I want to create separate mixes for my in-ears, my microphone, and my Bluetooth audio. Ideally, I’d like to have one custom layer for the main house mix and another separate layer dedicated solely to my in-ears. This way, I can control the in-ear mix without affecting the main output.
Currently, when I adjust my microphone level, it also changes in my in-ears, and I want to avoid that. Is it possible to set this up on the CQ12T, and if so, how can I do it? Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
My apologies for the duplicate post! It wasn’t intentional, but I missed the earlier reply because I rarely check the forum and I don’t receive notifications on my old Hotmail account. I’ll update that soon so I’m more aware in the future.
Regarding my question about splitting channels: I understand that you need to send the channel to the main to get effects, but I’m looking for a way to route the channel only to the monitors, without sending it to the main mix. Does anyone have a solution for this? That way, I can have effects on the monitors but not on the main output.
Thanks a lot for your help, and again, sorry for the confusion!
Using prefade mix that sends to your monitors will do just that but you would need to select that mix to adjust the monitors, the channel faders become the aux sends.
Selecting the aux mix mode is more or less like selecting another layer.
The mic split for inputs…you can use a Y cable would give you complete independent processing for your monitors, you just un-assign the split channels from the main mix,
As mentioned in the other thread: If you switch your in-ear mix to Pre Fader, as is the default setting, its levels would be independent of the Main mix.
Regarding the FX: One limitation of these entry-level mixers is that the FX Returns of the 6 Out mixes cannot be set Pre Fader to the FX Return of the Main mix.
Therefore, an FX can only be mixed to an Out if it is also audible in the Main mix (unless you try a compromise with extreme fader settings: as quiet as possible in the Main mix – as loud as possible in the IEM mix).
A “normal” workaround for this limitation, in my opinion, would be to simply ignore your normal Main mix (although the faders of input channels and FX returns in this mix would still need to be at 0dB) and instead use an Out pair for your PA system.
Here, you would have hypothetical settings for your “new Main mix” (Out 1 + 2) and your IEM mix (Out 3 + 4), each with different FX 1 and 2 blended in.
Thank you so much for the information. I’m going to experiment with it a bit, and this is a very clear explanation. I had hoped that I could turn off the channel, but that’s not possible at the moment. Maybe it will be implemented in a future update, and until then, we’ll have to make do with what’s possible
Is it possible to assign only the Send to control for the in-ear mix to Custom Layer B on the CQ12T, so that Layer B exclusively controls the in-ear Send to and not the main mix,i think not, always push on the sent to button I think
Yes, that’s how it will be: I think you need to press the Send To button for that.
But does it make any difference whether you switch between the layers or the mixes?
If so, the block diagram would be incorrect, as it shows that your reverb could only be sent to Out1 if the Reverb Return to Main LR (your first diagram) were open (there is only post-fader).
Unfortunately, I’ve repeatedly found that the block diagrams contain errors.
Apparently, A&H doesn’t place enough emphasis on proper documentation.
If this is the case again, then some of my previous statements of course are also incorrect - sorry.
I also can’t find anywhere in the QU MixPad where I can switch FX Returns Pre/Post.
This would mean that you can never mute FX on an Out (neither with Trail On nor Trail Off).?
Why it’s sometimes called OUT or AUX and sometimes LEV or SEND is unclear.?
And the option to send an FX Return to another FX seems also to have been completely omitted?
No wonder users keep stumbling over things like this when they’re either not documented at all or are incorrectly documented.
