hi all, i have a qu-pac and i need to reply the same mix of the LR main outs, to another stereo mix …for example mix 9-10.
i need to have the same mix withouts faders on mix-9-10…or better…for example , when i move the volume fader of ch1 in LR mix, the mix 9-10 will reply in automatic this variations without set the fader of chan1 in mix 9-10…is this possible?
any help will be appreciate.
thank you!

There are three obvious options:

Use analogue splitter cables?
Use Alt-Out?

But there is a better way - since you mentioned the QuPac - use a Matrix out - and just route the LR mix into it…

thanks for the answer.

1)i don’t want use a cable split, i need to use another pair of out because i need different volume . es: LR at -20db…and mix 9-10 at 0db.
2) i’ve tried alt-out, but the volume of the alt-out is post LR : if the LR volume is set low…alt-out is low too.

i must try the Matrix…can someone point me in the right way?
thanks to all!

Press {Channel Button}, Select [FX,Mix] [L+R]
Press {Routing Button}, Select [Matrix] Tab, set to Pre Fade, adjust level as required.

You will also need to route the matrix to a the Alt outs:

Press {Setup}, select [I/O patch} and [Local]
Change the Alt Out to your chosen matrix.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, but this one should work…

And I’ve just realised that Alt out can be switched to L+R pre fade anyway, without needing a matrix.

If you’re just after a copy of LR, the 2trk outs do exactly that.

Or - since you don’t want the LR master volume to affect the second mix… (My mistake)
You could just route everything Post Fade to Mix 9-10 and set all the send faders at unity.

MarkPAman: switch L+R to pre fade in alt-out work at 100% …thanks for the tip. now volume are indipendent.
DavidCo: the 2trk out is a good idea but don’t have separate volume …it depend from the main mix.

thanks again!!

If you make every channel Post and set it to 0 db in Mix 9-10, all the levels should be same as on LR. But will it also have FX sends on it?

10

yes…i have fx. is it a problem?

i have set all faders at 0db on mix 9-10…all work fine now.

Days ago I tried exactly that, but I didn’t have my FX1 on vocals on Mix 9-10 (which was side fill Mix). How do I change that?

12

Put the FX return into the mix (as if it were a channel)

i’ve understand the Matrix now, but i have a question: in qu-pac where are the xlr out of Matrix 1-2 /3-4? i can assign Matrix only
to alt-out!
qu-24 and 32 have xlr out for this.

is that right…or not?

midijay,

You are correct, while Qu24/32 have dedicated XLR outs on the rear, Qu-Pac uses AES, Alt-out or dSNAKE to expose group or matrix outputs. The Alt-outs are still balanced though, so easy to convert back to XLR.
