Allen & Heath CQ-18T: What is a quick channel? Why use it? Playthrough with Line 6 Helix!
Рет қаралды 9,161
Күн бұрынHello and welcome back to my second video on the Allen & Heath CQ18T! Today I will be covering an amazing feature on the CQ-18T, Quick Channels! These can help expediate the mixing process, find a good sound that each band member enjoys, and also teach you tips and tricks for properly EQ-ing and mixing instruments on your own. This can cut down sound check and mixing times tremendously! I will also demonstrate some guitar play-throughs at the end of the video. Please listen with headphones to catch the differences clearly.
This is not the only option, with the CQ-18T, you can also setup complete channels where they are fully flat with no coloring and you employ your own Eq, compressor, gates through the mixer interface. But if you are someone like me who is still learning and grasping wear each instrument sonically falls in a mix this can help guide you and teach you some tricks to becoming a better live or studio sound mixer!
Please be sure to like and subscribe if you find these videos helpful and let me know if there were anything would like to specify see!

I’m a Sax player & audio engineer of 40 plus yrs. Needed to go compact & im a stickler for sound quality, ease of use & having fun. Love this mixer. It’s loaded with a lot of features. I sometimes use a stereo backing tracks with my tenor sax. The input gain monitor & compressor keep all my tracks even & the sound is as good as it gets. It’s got a lot of choices & they all seem to sound great.

I'd love to hear this in a live setting, and using it to record Multitrack - either to an SD card or (if possible) via USB. I hope to see something like that covered soon. Thanks!

On your next video can you please show how you combine two inputs. Example: if you want to run stereo (L&R) out from a synthesizer in to the CQ18. So L from the synthesizer goes in to input 1 on the CQ18 and R goes in to input 2. How do you combine them to create a stereo channel instead of 2 seperate mono channels?

Absolutely, you can certainly link two mono channels and make them stereo (L&R) I do not have a synth on hand as it is at our practice room but I can run a ping pong delay or something on the helix and show the bouncing. I’ll try and think of some other ways to make the stereo pop but I will certainly add this in the next video! Thank you for the recommendation and thank you for watching!

Thinking about buying one of these....my drummer plays roland electronic drums into a roland amp, then i run out of his D.I. from the amp imto my board....what setting would i use for that you think?

My drummer uses an acoustic drum set so it’s usually just the various mic spots, but there is an overarching spot labeled “drums” and it is two monos linked as a stereo setup. You could also knock it to just one single mono channel. It would really come down to if you guys would like him to be in stereo or mono out. Hopefully this is what you meant? If not let me know and I’ll try to re word it! Thanks for watching

do you keep your mic in the pockets or in the bathroom

Isn't it also true that you can begin with a quick channel, and then convert it in order to observe what was happening under the hood?

Yes
@Abellyisforjelly 7 ай бұрын
You can’t convert it back though, you’ll have to start over
@stevenwendt9944 7 ай бұрын
Yes you absolutely can convert it to view what is going on, I actually just recently figured that out. You also can convert it back to a quick channel! I was bouncing back and forth today and rehearsal to view some PEQ ideas!

For an audio engineering video this had terribly low volume, I had my computer speakers turned up to max & was still barely able to hear this.
