This is my first mixer.
When recording to a SD card I’m having two issues.
Thanks for any help!
Simply patch here all the Dir Outs you want to record.
If you’re referring to the headphone output:
Among other things, you can send also any of your mixes to the headphones using the PAFL button of the desired mix - PFL or AFL, depending on your settings.
This default 1&2 being L&R really REALLY annoys me. Un-necessary hassle and un-intuative.
Stick the L&R on the highest two tracks of the mixer!
What worries me is how many other tripwires are in the SQ range?
I’ve been seething about this for months now.

Huge thanks.
I was able to get the main left and right re-routed.
As far as the playback output to the 1/4 jack. I am able to use the PAFL button to hear each mix.
However when I hit the L/R or the PAFL on the main left or right mix (11/12) I get no sound.
What I’m trying to do is set the mix for the stereo mix for simple song recording.
Again big thanks. This this a big learning curve for me. I wish they had tutorials.
So I was also using the multitrack playback and seeing if I could use it as a virtual soundcheck but it appears all thr tracks come through on the USB output so going to say mix 1 (lead vocals) and adjusting individual levels doesn’t do anything.
Am I missing something for doing a virtual soundcheck off the SD multitrack?
I’m needy. I know.
For virtual soundcheck I use different IO libraries.
I’m intrigued. How does one set this up?
I’m not in front of the mixer right now, bit it’s something like this
Go to I/O page, patching the Inputs like yu kneed it for live, e.g. the hardware inputs
Still on the I/O page press the Library button (top right of the mixer) and save your settings, for example “live”
Then patching all the inputs you used for live, but this time choose the usb as source
Again save as library, this time named playback
Now you can switch between live and soundcheck by loading these two libs without affecting any other settings.
Don’t forget to write all needed channels to usb (I/O page go to tab Outputs → USB)
It’s a small compromise between the default of wanting to make a stereo recording (channels 1 and 2) of your Main LR mix and your default of always recording channels 1 through 32.
However, switching between these settings only takes a few seconds, and you’d normally have to patch anyway to specify only the tracks you actually want to record.
But if you don’t want to do that and always want to record the first 32 input channels, you can set this up and save it in your own standard show settings.
Without knowing exactly what you mean, as the complexity of a console increases, so does the learning curve, and you have to understand and internalize the purpose of all the features.
Perhaps a less complex and therefore simpler console would have been the better choice …
If you activate the PAFL on your Main LR mix and its fader is open (with “Output AFL” is On), you should also hear your Main LR mix through your headphones.
I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “or the PAFL on the main left or right mix (11/12)” at the moment.
Nope.
Complex and flexible is good.
What’s NOT good is unintuitive and downright unusual ways of doing things raising their ugly heads. Doesn’t matter that it can be ‘simply’ set as a preferred show setting. It’s crazy that it’s there in the first place.
Tripwires: In context, I meant other such unintuitive and downright unusual ways of doing things unexpectedly tripping me up in my workflow.
Nothing unusual about it. A&H presumably did some market research, and determined that someone who knew very little would want to record their output to stereo, i.e. USB ch 1&2. Someone who knew more would want to configure as needed. Makes sense to me.
