We accidently saved over a scene on our SQ7 Allen and Heath board and not sure if we can even get that scene back. We are using channels 31 and 32 and pointing those to our USB1/2. On our reaper pc we are getting the feed but I have lost output 8 on the rear of the board going to our streaming equipment. How do i get the sound back going to output 8 on the back of the board. Currently the USB1/2 works and reaper is getting it via that connection.
It sounds like the routing to that output socket has been changed. If everything else in the scene is still working correctly, all you need to do is remake the patch to that socket. This is covered in the user guide.
If you are on firmware version 1.6.x (the latest), it’s on page 23.
If you are on firmware 1.5.x, it’s on page 17.
Unless you previously saved that scene or show file on another device, there is no way to “restore” the overwritten scene.
It is possible to save these files to a USB drive inserted into the console, or I believe you can save them to a device running the SQ Mixpad app. If there is a backup available, then you should be able to restore what was over written. However that is probably a “long shot” because most people don’t make these types of backups regularly.
Also, keep in mind that by restoring a backup show/scene file, you are going to loose any changes that were made to the system after the backup file was created. If it’s been a while since it was created, you may loose out on a lot of changes.
PS - if the scene is a “critical” scene (ie your custom default starting scene), I would recommend saving the scene a second time much farther down in the scene list as a backup. This way if someone accidentally over writes the “normal” scene, you can scroll down the list to find the “backup” scene and recall it. Once the system is back in a desired working state, then save the “normal” scene again to “restore” it.
This is a great way to “backup” scenes without have to worry about USB drives, etc. But just keep in mind that you need to save both scenes (normal and backup) when you make changes. Otherwise the “backup” scene might be woefully out of date and missing a lot of desired changes.
