    This is the best tutorial on this ever. Filled a lot of gaps for me. Thank you!

    Uptown, I can tell you I have the QU-16 and it is awesome. I use it as I/O for my DAW/Studio and it works great. Super easy to set up different mix outputs for different monitors, easy to have synths and other equipment hooked up to the mixer to record or just monitor. I did buy a StudioLive 16.0.2 and it has a dead stereo channel from the start, returned it, and got the QU-16. Allen & Heath have been making mixers for over 30 years and their stuff is good.

    You can also set up the soft keys on the Qu series to move DAW Control's bank up & down, meaning you can use the faders on any number of tracks 😉

    Looks good…what about panning controls and DAW plugins? Will the QU-32 interface with these controls as well?

    Hi, I've everything set up as explained in the video, I've got the audio leaving my DAW to my QU16 on each fader but the only way I can get audio into my DAW is by having the input set to local, it won't work when set to USB, any thoughts on how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

    Output is happening simultaneous am I right? during live, mixer is sending output to main L/R to PA, other stereo output available, and to the usb all at same time? thanks

    One quick question. the custom layer's great for the 16 inputs on my Qu-16, but how do I get my daw's master output fader to be controlled by the Qu-16?
