This was I believe a brilliant demonstration to this wonderful Allen& Heath CQ .... I am certainly a novice when it comes to mixers but this seems to be the one to go for as I'm terrified of sooo many sliders where as this has a the CQ-18 has a full touch screen and can also be used as a replacement to my Audio Interface I believe. Mr TR Hughes, thank you kindy for your demo and clarity. I have just subscribed to your channel as it's brilliant. I wish you have one for beginners for the CQ-18 at a slower pace I suppose :) Thank you kindly once again. From Melbourne, Australia

Thanks for a refreshingly concise and clear review! Just gone over to bose S1Pro speaker, then Bose T-series mixer, then came across the CQ via google and wow! Looks like it THIS decade's way to go... Bose T1 is good but this appears to raise the bar many levels. And that iPad connection looks like a life changer, go out into the audience and adjust the mix. Boom!

If you are using the onboard digital effects for EQ and compression etc, then you want to record that into a pc or ipad DAW, post-processing, does it add alot of latency per filter/effect?
@tylerrayhughes 6 ай бұрын
Zero latency. All of the processing is done by the mixer.

There is a built in memory for saving scenes. The SD card slot is for recording/virtual soundcheck.

Hi Tyler I got a question on a analog mixer usually you can solo a channel and mute all other channels, Is there a way to do it on this mixer if you find a way please let me know all there is a headphone icon and you have to be wearing a headphone to use it as a solo fixture thanks again

@tylerrayhughes 10 ай бұрын
I would also! I don’t think that’ll be part of the line up however. This console is missing some things that larger channel boards have such as DCA. 32 channels without DCA could be a bear.

Are all FX idiot friendly with those arbitrary buttons, or there are full featured FX to choose from? Also, are those 4 FX fixed, or you can set for example 3 reverbs and one delay, or any other combination? Thanks.
@tylerrayhughes 9 ай бұрын
After using the console more I would have to say that the FX section is the weakest link. The effects are barely usable and there is no way to eq them. Very unsatisfied with it and wish they would update immediately

@@tylerrayhughes I own both, Behringer XR and Soundcraft Ui, although Soundcraft has fewer options for editing it is still a professional tool, but the Behringer is incredible as it can be tweaked to death with sidechain, sending signals from every possible point in the chain, and it has exactly the same software on the cheapest XR12 as on the X32, no limits. What costs double the price with this CQ, really difficult to understand. The effects are really a joke, made to be simple for a hairdresser. And the artificial limitations for smaller one is really an insult to common sense.

How many iPads can connect at the same time to control its monitor channel
@tylerrayhughes 9 ай бұрын
Haven’t maxed it out, but I’ve so far had 1 iPad on the main control, and 3 phones on monitor mixes. I would imagine you could connect as many devices as there are outputs. So maybe 6 phones 2 iPads?

I see 2 important defects: 1 - is missing a Hardware Master Out Volume control. If something happens in lIve you need direct control on master out to quit the volume/noise/problem 2 - small LCD (7 inches) with small buttons and not really fast in-touch reaction. People are now used to havw a fast touch reaction like smartphones

if you play on live stages, you owe it to yourself to ditch the SM58 for an Audix OM-7 You will never want to use anything else. There's a lil bit of a learning curve because the pattern is super tight on it but theres absolutely nothing better for natural feedback suppression, and they sound great too. If you try one pop in and drop a comment on what you think. Ive been using mine for many years after going through many other mics and fighting stage feedback.

@BillyBlaze7 6 ай бұрын
@@tylerrayhughes you will love it, but you really have to eat the mic, and trail off notes requires just moving your mouth like half an inch. One other thing is your mixer has to be able to supply high gain (most do).
