Allen & Heath SQ – Using Rack FX

Keith shows you the basics of applying effects via the 8 built-in high-quality rack effects units.

Built on our latest generation 96kHz FPGA XCVI core, SQ sets a new standard for compact digital mixers, delivering pristine, high resolution audio with a class-leading latency less than 0.7ms.

Keith, you’re a diamond. I had a brain fart moment on sending fx to my stereo in ears mixes and now I’m sorted again. Legend!

It's odd that the production quality of these videos is far superior to the more expensive desk (D-live). Thanks for the content either way.

hi Keith, we are using a sq6 and realized that there is no comp-button available in the fx-Return channel.. our goal is to comp the fx-return and feed the side chain with a vocal group.. is there a way to accomplish that? many thanks

[mickeyjimhickey]

Thanks for the videos. If we want to use different types of reverb on different channels, do we add the reverb fx into multiple slots?

hye keith... hmm i want to ask something.. why i cant sent the fx to aux??? i try to up fader fxreturn in my aux mix.. but the fx still nothing.. why??? and bfore this im using different strip but still same input..i means split the mic.. hehe exmple ip1(mic vocal 1) but routing in Main LR only and strip ip17 (mic vocal 1) but routing at aux2, 34 only..bcause i want to just vocal have some fx in my monitor/aux.. so the ip1 and ip17 (mic vocal1) sent fx some rverb and delay.. but the dfferent is amount of the FOH and MoH.. but this trick is working bfore this..but right now after update 1.5.1 this method not working. and if i try sent fx at ip17 for aux2, 3, 4 the fx is nothing but hear / have at main/ FOH.. pleasee helpppp.. pleaseee.. pleaseee #sorry fo my english..

HI. I wanted to ask you if possible. on Allen heath sq you can assign a waves reverb with waves rack but with usb using fx1 fx2 fx3 fx4 to avoid taking auxiliary outputs 1-12?

[RoyChartier]

But can you use ACTUAL inserts to outboard gear? I don't see insert jacks on the unit.

[johnlackner]

I ran into a snag with the SQ6. When I sent the input channels to a group, there is no FX output even though the FX send and return meters are lighting up. Is there a fix for this?

[needretire]

I was able to put reverb on fx1. However I tried to put delay and chorus on fx2 and fx3 respectively but that doesn't work. Any ideas?

[alexandervillegas]

HOW MANY EFFECTS (PLUGINS) CAN I PLACE FOR EACH CHANNEL OF THE CONSOLE, WITHOUT DELAYING.
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND PROFESSIONALISM

[danielsmith]

So I see that to adjust how much of a channel is going to FX mix 1-4, you click the respectable blue button on the right, but what about for effects channels 5-8? What is the best way to get to those and send output to them, or do I need to burn some of the aux mixes to have effects?

Hi, I askedfor little notes. about the sound I just want to let the sound goes away 100 tired then how ah. I sincerely thank.

Thanks for this clip... it really made my life easier.... I was wondering how to send FX to an aux mix (monitor). I love my sq6 each day more and more.
