Quick overview of the new Allen and Heath SQ5 digital mixing console. I only got the desk at the weekend so still learning but hopefully it will give people an idea. Thanks

Hi Ronnie, nice work. Please, please please can you do a quick video on how you made your rack mount kit. I know they're available to buy but they're expensive and I'm sure I could make one. Would love to see how you did it, even if it's just a few drawings or a few photos of yours. Cheers!

Hey James, I have no problem doing that for you but this house of mine is mental for the foreseeable and it would take some time to haul the desk out and get something worthwhile done for you. I will do my best. In the meantime these are the guys you'd need, not sure of the price but I would say around 65/70 euro www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=1163&o=&offset=&c=80&s=80

@@ronnieduignan thanks for the answer! That is great, cause I want to order one like right now. Its just not easy to find out the things that maybe not so good, about any music gear, because most of the videos come from music stores... Since nothing is "perfect", they shouldn't be so shy about mentioning the occasional issue or missing feature, like with this one, a lot of people say it has less FX available than the Qu series, instead you're supposed to pay through the nose to unlock the ones that are already installed from the factory. In spite of that, for my purposes I don't see a better digital console than the SQ series at the moment.
@SuperRiki816 жыл бұрын
Could i send a channel through the usb to ableton and listen to the "return" of the processed signal from ableton as an insert on the same channel? So let's say a Moog on input 1, routed to ableton via usb and monitor the returned audio on channel 1? Also, what's the latency from DAW in this setup?
@ronnieduignan4 жыл бұрын
Apologies for the delay. Yes, you can insert any processing on a computer on a channel and the latency is still less than .07 of a second :)

Hi Ronnie, a great video tutorial for the desk, I have referenced it many times over the last two years. I'm in a similar position to you with regards looking after the mixer in relation to the band I am in. I'm interested in how you set up your in ears to have the main LR mix and added your bass and vocals as necessary, would you be able to advise how you set this up for your in ears? Many thanks.

Hey there, press the FX button and select the second FX bank on the left. Hit library and select the delay you want to use and apply. Then go to the rear view of the effect and ensure that it is not set as an insert on any channel or group or mix. Let me know if you get sorted

@ronnieduignan5 жыл бұрын
Hey I have had the Yamaha TF1 and it works great as an audio interface with your DAW but it has no DAW controls. The Allen and Heath Sq can be used as a DAW controller and it allows the ability to record 32 tracks through USB at 96khz sample rate, I would definitely go for the SQ. Plus the Yamaha although sounds great, is limited to basic features. Enjoy

Hey Timothy, I send my FOH LR directly into a speaker controller system - Fohhn FC8 where all the crosccovers are set for subs and mid high speakers. An Aux/mix bus can also be used set to post fader level for a mono send into sub amplifiers from instruments you want to send to the subs, e.g. kick drum, bass, floor tom, etc.
