I thought I would add to feeds already posted to add another person requesting particular features. As a QU-24, QU-SB and now a CQ-20B user, there are a few features or requests, at least for my workflow;
- Custom layer - this is really needed to make the workflow nicer, and should be easily achieved.
- Custom mute groups assignable to the Soft keys is a rather important missing feature. Also, given the CQ-20B has no screen or solid features - it works purely off an iPad, a scribble strip/label automatically attached to the Soft keys has been badly missed. I would normally put physical tape next to each Soft key to remember its function. It is sometimes an issue remembering what each Soft key does, quickly.
- I agree with some other posts that the initial HPF control on the gain setting screen needs to be placed or doubled on the PEQ page for clarity.
- When first opening the Home Screen ‘Scenes’ page, it defaults to the first Scene position rather than the current ‘open’ Scene. I have this set to an initial clean settings Scene, and don’t really want to accidentally overwrite it.
- It is a bit disconcerting that when MixPad is not the main focus on my iPad - it loses connection. I can’t remember whether that happens on the QU-SB as well. In any case, surely that can be remedied?
Despite these feature requests, and a number from other users, A&H have really done a great job on this series, it is a powerfully featured smaller mixer that fills a gap in the market for a fully featured digital mixer where a larger series is not needed. I love using this mixer as much as the other, larger series ones.
