Since the CQ is a low-end device some of the screens are really kept simple and that is ok, but intuitivity some changed/additions would help:
-
Change the position of configuration screens. Some of them are in CONFIG, others are in HOME->Info/Storage/Firmware/Meters/Home. I am allways tapping around to find the screen I need. Home should only have Record, Scenes. Data could also be moved to CONFIG.
-
On the top screen there are state icons for USB/SD ; Bluetooth and WiFi. Why can’t you press them and get to the screen of that item directly?
-
It is not possible to name FX strips. They are always FX1-4 in naming. But as we can use a 3rd party tool. There is naming possible in the 3rd party tool and shown by Mixpad. So it should be easy to add this somewhere in a configscreen or in the FX screen.
-
FX units to Aux following the global pre-post of an Aux would be helpfull. With FX always postfader to Aux it is hard to maintain the right level of FX in an Aux mix
-
Possibility to NAME softbuttons would be nice. (And a 3 more ?) and or coloring like Avantis / dLive (green / red / blue etc)
-
When you tap and FX slot in the processing screen it always goes to FX unit 1. It would help that if you tap FX2-3-4 it would go to that unit instead of unit 1
-
The idea to have a Processing and Fader Screen could be great but I feel it to be a bit useless. To be able to choose what you see in the strip on the processing screen would help. And I am really missing the Mute button in the processing screen. To mute you have to go to the fader screen.
-
Playing USB audio files from a folder. Already asked really often. I would be grateful (also on all other platforms : SQ, Avantis, dLive)
-
Currently I see no use at all for Scenes. It is always a full state recall. And this it is the same a recalling a show. Some simple "what to recall"options would make usage of Scenes possible. a Simple Mute / UnMute of channels is not possible following a Scenes cue list.
-
The selected Mix for faders is only visible in the Faders screen! Please give it a allways visible place someware on the screen. When on Processing screen you just don’t know on which mix you are adjusting levels.
-
Yes I know that the CQ is a budget device, I would love to be able to connect any input socket in the available strips. Just for dual fed strips with different settings for Aux out and MainPA.
-
I tried to use the FBA in the CQ. Yes they work. That is the good part. But If you keep detecting it in Fixed mode… the musicians will start complaining that the sound is changing. That is because the false detections are added to the list of filers. After some time the complete band from 500-5k is notched out. For beginners this is a problem since they can’t find out what is going on and will start rising faders. Maybe have a maximum time window with count down for activating detection in Fixed mode?
-
I am using the recorder (USB and SD). too bad there is no date/time stamp possible as I read other threads. Please add the posibility to name a recording before recording. I am really struggeling when I am sorting out all recordings when I get home from several gigs in the weekend.
Well a lot of tips and suggestions. Let’s hope for the best that some of them are added in future releases
