SQ7 Controlling Mixes with L&R

SQ SQ General Discussions
1

I inherited a SQ7 and I am puzzled by something. For some of the Mixes (2,5 & 6) the L&R faders control
Mix 2,5, & 6 fader volume - but not the master - IOWs if I am on L&R and have Fader 1 all the way down

  • then no signal is sent to 2,5,7 6 - whose faders are at unity - then when I bring the Channel 1 Fader
    up - so goes Mix 2,5 ,& 6 - but only to the level I raise the L&R Channel 1 fader.

It’s not a DCA - and they are not set to the Matrix’s - I can’t figure out how this is done - any ideas?

Your description is very confused!

What are the L&R faders?
Maybe the Mixes are set to pre fader or post fader?

How do you set the Mixes to PreFader/PostFader?

I found out what is happening;

But I don’t want to use the SQ App - I want to do it on the board - does anyone know how to do that?
Sorry but I’m a rookie on the SQ series.

I dont want to be rude, but that is very Basic stuff described in the Manual. Please have a Look and come Back, If that is unclear.

Also there is a really good series of official Tutorials in the YouTube Channel of a&h, maybe watch them too? Maybe Keith also explains IT there…

It is basic stuff - but if you don’t know how to describe it - at least for me - it is impossible to fine.
But I figured it out - and the Manual Page it is on.

Method 1 - Page 27

Select Mix 1
Hold Down the ‘Pre Fade’ key
The ‘Select Key’ on each channel shows green if the mix is pre fade - press each select key and the
green goes out.
Set each channel fader to db
Repeat for other mixes

Method 2 - Page 28

Select Mix 1
Select the Master Fader for Mix 1
Press Routing
Select 'Mix Sends form Screen
You now have a ‘Pre’ or 'Post button on screen for all channels on each mix Use this to select ‘Post’
Repeat for other mixes.

I could do without the judgement - some of us our new to the mixers.

Yeah… My Feeling is,that the Forum should be used after the Manual and the Tutorial Videos – Not instead. That should be a Natural way even for new Users and has nothing to with judgement.

If you don’t know what it’s called or the Technique involved - how do you look it up?

The quick start guide covers this as well.
