I do NOT want to record sounds, and then work from there. For some sounds I want to be able to send it to Ableton and use much more complex effect racks on the sound to get those special results.Īnd last but not least: I want all the above in real-time. When I look at my tracks now, I’m rarely go beyond 24 audio tracks in total (hardware and plugins).Īlso for some sounds, the normal route off gate, compressor, EQ and a combined effects channel isn’t good enough. But while doing so, I don’t want to give up any off the analog inputs. Being able to send them back into the mixer and work hands-on from there would be a dream. But for now, I still use a lot off plugins like Native Instruments Massive and others, so I don’t want to loose these. I want to have a mixer to have more hands-on and use Ableton more and more only for the midi.
To end, I’ll try to explain what I’m truly looking for: How many internal FX does the Qu have? I see 4 slots, but on the side only two buttons? Is this simultanously? For example, can I send the analog ins from my hardware synth into Ableton, process them inside Ableton with some plugins, and return them into the Qu in realtime for further processing?Ĭontinuing on the point before, with that many IO’s, what is the expected latency?įor the build in compressor and gate: Can you do side-chaining on them? How is the build quality? Will it reach 10 years or more (studio use)Īccording to the brochure, the QU-16 can send 24 and return 22 channels through USB into a DAW (my case Ableton). I never worked with Allen & Heath before.

How stable are the Windows drivers? Any problems occured?

My system: I’m running Ableton Live 9 on a Windows 7 64 bit. The mixer will be used only for studio use with hardware synths, drum machines to make EDM style music.īut it’s expensive so I want to do my homework and not get a cat in a bag. So instead of buying an expansion through ADAT, I thought why not a digital mixer like the Allen & Heath Qu-16? Then I will also have the hands-on experience when mixing the tracks. I now came to a point that my audio interface is out off analog ins.
Nice to see.Īt the end of last year I have made the decision to go more to hardware then doing everything inside Ableton Live with plugins. But this seems like a very nice community with many people jumping in. I’ve been scrolling through these forums already and many answers are solved, some not so clear yet.
