1:49 that ascending direct I/O patch shortcut I didn't know even existed on the console, thanks!

[kackbraten]

Came here to see which expansion i need for multitrack recording with the SQ... well, i am pleasantly surprised!

[David-zlnk]

Thanks for the video! I definitely trust my ears when it comes to mixing, but audio engineering is so intertwined with IT and software now more than ever!

Great video. Can you do a video showing how to setup the SQ to logic for a church livestream?

[blackjono]

I personally like to use the tie-lines to usb. As I don't want any show eq or processing to go to record. Better for virtual soundcheck too, so you don't eq twice etc.

[peterfolliard]

Awesome video, thanks for this! Would you be willing to upload your Pro Tools I/O Settings (.pio)?

[robertfreese]

This is a wonderful video. I am about to try this at our church, with a SQ 7 mixer using a new MacBook Pro laptop and the DAW is Cubase Pro 13. Any help, advice or literature you could recommend would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

[evanzeemusic]

I am putting my hand up for a logic tutorial as well.

[ultrastar]

Please do another with the less used DAW, FL Studio

Great video. The channels going from the SQ mixer are pre or post faders?

[soundidesign]

Hi. Thanks so much for the video! Is it possible to do a mix for the audience with the desk and also a seperate mix on my mac using studio one 4 at the same time?
Its for a live church event and a livestream.
Will i need dante?

Great video! Got the audio to return from PT landing on the USB input of the SQ (happy about that), but not on the channel 1 and channel 2 strip, as is in your video. I’m sure I’m doing something silly….

[revelationevents]

Hey im seriously thinking about getting the sq7. It’s my first full console. Question is how reliable is it? I’ve seen a few posts reporting different problems. How reliable is it?

[KevinDerryberry]

Great video Thank you ! Question can you set up soft buttons to start, stop, record, rew, fwd etc?

[leirumanuel]

Hi. One question. Using Daw mode, can you use the mixer fxs like an SSL?

[milanosde]

Hi, great video. Would you do the same for Logic? Is it possible to do a virtual soundcheck recording and playing back with a thumb thumbdrive?

[MrMike]

I tried this last weekend and it worked just as you said it would. Only problem is we had much lower gain on the Protools end than the desk itself. Is there a fix for this?

[robertsweigert]

Thanks for the concise video. I use tracks live for tracking (i know no longer supported) and recently ran into trouble connecting on MAC based "catalina" system. It seems there is something new in the security functions of Apple's newer os that prevents linking. Has that been your experience ? (i do not use protools live because of Ilok and wifi issues. Thank you !

[sounddramaturgy]

hello, thank you for video🤗can I do the same thing just on madi port?

[daviddaw]

This is very helpful, but I have been trying to set-up ProTools routing where I feed the console channels 1-32 into PT as you have, but instead of routing PT output in stereo to just the first 2 console inputs, I want to monitor each individual PT track playback on the 32 USB inputs of different console layers, to set-up control room and musician monitor-mixes for tracking and overdubbing. (ie. console layer 1 would be the 32 mixer inputs feeding PT, but console layers 2, 3, 4 etc, would be the 32 individual ProTools channel playback). Any advice you might offer would be GREATLY appreciated! (the ProTools output routing is what has me stumped!
