Is it possible for you guys to make the DynEQ as an insert on every channel like the Dyn8 is for the dLive and Avants? This would be so helpful! Please and thank you!
I’m not sure if you are asking for the option to “insert” the Dyn8 into a channel/buss directly (instead of using an FX rack slot) or if you are asking for enough instances to allow you to insert an instance on every channel/buss. Or perhaps both things…..
Just keep in mind that while the Dyn8 plugin is “inserted” directly into a channel/buss with the Avantis and DLive systems (and doesn’t use an FX slot), those systems are not powerful enough to allow a Dyn8 to be inserted on every channel or buss. There are only 16 Dyn8 instances available on the Avantis and 64 instances available on the DLive system.
Yeah sorry…I guess that was a little unclear…what I would like is to be able to insert the DynEQ plugin (separate instances ) on each channel of the QU-5 (not as an FX rack) …the same way the the dLive is able to insert the Dyn8. Does that make sense? Thanks!

You should be able to insert a FX Rack into a channel/buss already, so I am guessing it is the second thing. Just keep in mind that while the Dyn8 plugin is “inserted” into a channel/buss with the Avantis and DLive systems, those systems are not powerful enough to allow a Dyn8 to be inserted on every channel or buss.

Perhaps just as a supplement to sic0048’s comment:
Using the very powerful and power-hungry Dyn8 in multiple channels (and even additional to their DEEP Engines) with Avantis and dLive is only possible through specially dedicated hardware components.
QU and SQ don’t have these, so we should be happy and impressed to be able to run at least half of a Dyn8 in a normal FX engine.
Yes I do understand that the Dyn8 is only for Avantis and dLive and so far I’m liking the new Qu-5…I would just like to be able to use the DynEQ (half of the Dyn8 lol) I purchased on more than one channel as an insert, not limited to an fx aux mix. I may just have to use my Waves SuperRack but I’d rather keep it quick and simple

You can insert any of your 6 FX engines as an insert FX into a channel, thus giving you the option to use up to 6 DynEQ4s.
Yes that’s true…6 FX as an insert on 6 channels only…unless I’m missing something. I can use one as an insert on my Vox buss and another on my Drum buss but I would prefer to have it on each channel itself. I do appreciate your help and advice!

But I hope you understood that the necessary hardware for that simply doesn’t exist on your QU.
To boil your request down to its simplest form, you are requesting the ability to use DynEQ outside of the normal FX racks. This would “free up” the FX racks to be used for something else. In order to make this work however, the console has to have enough “spare” processing power to effectively double the current level of FX processing - with the option of 6 DynEQ being inserted into channels and 6 FX racks available to use for something else instead of just 6 FX racks like it is today.
I can’t speak to the actual processing power inside of any of the consoles and how much is or isn’t currently being utilized, but I do know that historically A&H has designed their consoles to pretty much use/maximize the processing power “out of the box”. (Which is the most cost effective way to design them). So I would say the chances of your request being technically possible at this point in time is probably pretty low.
I don’t say that in an effort to “squash” your request, but only to make sure everyone has a realistic idea of what might or might not be possible. That being said, I want to reiterate that I have no real knowledge of the new QU system and what is possible or not, so I absolutely could be wrong with my assumptions.
That was excellently put! If it’s not possible, then I’ll will just have to carry on the way it is and keep on smilin’ lol. Thanks so much!

I guess I’m not ready to let go of this just yet lol…if the new Qu is “DEEP ready” as stated, then why aren’t we able to choose the DynEqQ in place of the default eq as we are able to do so with the compressors? Just asking

Normally, the following should suffice: Because the DynEQ isn’t a DEEP FX.
But for you a bit more: It’s a completely different FX category.
I actually hoped you’d already understood this, and now I can only try it once more in a similar way.
Avantis, for example, has 16 dedicated Dyn8 engines specifically to implement such EQs in just 16 (!) channels out of approximately 100 possible.
The consoles below the Avantis don’t have a Dyn8 engine, but A&H has at least designed to run half a Dyn8 within a standard FX engine on the SQ and QU2.0.
Unfortunately, that’s what you’ll have to make do with.
Please forget your apparent assumption: FX is FX - it doesn’t matter whether it’s a regular EQ or a much more complex and power-hungry dynamic multiband EQ.
It’s similar like you’d want to compete in Formula 1 with a standard VW Golf.
And sorry for a side question: Why do you quote so strangely every time, and after your reply?
