SD card and ADT Doubler

Qu Qu General Discussions

Hi,

I am a QU6 user at a school and have 2 questions:

  1. Is it possible tu use other sd cards like this one: SanDisk Extreme Pro 64 GB, 200 MB/s
  2. ADT Doubler: Is it possible to set stereo spread to 0 (mono)?

Thanks, Bastian

  1. I can interpret your question in two ways:
  • If you want to use this exact card: I can’t test it myself, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t work.
  • If you want to use other cards: Yes.
  1. That doesn’t seem to be possible, but as an alternative, you could send the FX return to your mixes via a mono group, for example.

Hi,

thanks for your response.

I happen to test another SD card type and it worked fine so seems to be compatible.

Card type is: SanDisk Extreme Pro V30, 10, 200 MB/s, 64 GB

That ADT Doubler behaviour should be editable within the PlugIn but I will see how I can manage it with a mono group.

Best, Bastian

Stand by for SD based confusion.

The card slot on the Qu-5/6/7 series is an SDHC spec, which officially supports up to 32GB SDHC cards. SDXC cards will work but depending on the method they use to get extra speeds, you may have a variety of success - some slower SDXC cards won’t perform as well in an SDHC spec slot, but faster ones that exceed the spec should be fine. It becomes harder to guarantee performance the further you go from the SDHC spec. It’s the classic “your mileage may vary” situation.

Well, the A.D.T. is actually designed for the opposite purpose: generating a stereo signal from a mono signal.

A&H describe it as follows:

The ADT is very effective in creating stereo double and quad tracked voices from a mono input. There is also a stereo width enhancer. The tracked voices can be auto panned in the stereo field. The ADT is perfect for creating classic doubling effects, thickening programme on stage or developing a stereo sound field without resorting to chorusing.
The module is stereo in, stereo out (with software normalised mono input if the source is mono). ADT will create a stereo field from a mono source.

Incidentally, it’s also included in the flagship dLive in exactly the same version - also without a mono option.

Thanks, I will check stereo spread parameter next time at school.

I understand that ADT makes stereo out of a mono signal but moving to heavy from left to right for a vocalist sound a little unnatural to me. Thickening is what I am looking for.

I’m using the SanDisk Ultra SDXC UHS-I 64 GB without problems.

Hi Bastian,

If you turn the autopan speed/depth all the way down, then you will get an equal signal level on both left & right.
It’s still a stereo signal, but I myself use it in this manner regularly as a “thickener” - and if I may say so - it sounds great!
