Tip when adjustning your sends to fx engine you can press and hold the reset button the left side of the console while giving the channel fader a little nudge upwards and the fader will automaticly set to 0.0db :)

Hi, thank you so much for all the videos. Could you please make a video about the possible use and setting of other effects for SQ: Tube Stage Preamp, Opto Compressor, MultiBD Multiband Compressor, DynEQ4 Dynamic EQ ... ?

[khanyaphaswana]

Please teach on how to set up plug ins on a SQ5 console from a laptop

[Ploeter]

The ADT doubler is also a lot of fun on Vocals. Run them through a group and insert fx 5, 6, 7 or 8 on it

Great content! Really appreciate you going through this. I’m the FOH engineer for a mobile church and this is particularly helpful to see when I only get access to my SQ5 for 8 hours on a Sunday.
Was wondering for future be videos.. is there a way you can zoom in on your overhead shots so the specifics of your adjustments can be seen better?

[Chimpster]

Thanks for the explanation.
Any chance you could break it down a bit further?
Thanks

Selecting fx return personally is important to change master oresle it runes you fx sends i think

[shannonrock]

Also any videos with the QSC Touchmix 30 would be superb

[shannonrock]

Would you be able to post the settings you adjusted, ie the pre delays the eqs the reverb time etc, great video

[DbiPro]

Brother! I have a request for a video. James I know you must have other things in your plate and plans to execute but one huge thing I could really use right now is how to take a microphone that’s in any input and then duplicate that Chanel into another line so I can send one to an in ear monitor and the other to the house and livestream mix.

who are the artists? Which song title? Great song song! Great video as well thanks very much!!

[Guns]

I want to know Hypabass & Stereo enhacer on SQ

[guywinters]

If I have a multitrack SQ Drive USB recording (on a USB SSD), can I practice FX mixing from those channels, too? That might make it easier for me to get a better broadcast mix configured before we go live, since "tech rehearsal" doesn't seem to be a thing in our world.

And dont forget to eq the effects accordingly aswell.
