Working with the Groups (Qu-24, Qu-32, Qu-SB, Qu-Pac)
Choose whether you want the Group to operate as an
audio group or a stereo mix. Go to the Grp master
Routing
screen.
Changing mode resets the associated parameters.
Audio Group (default)
CH (mono) and ST (stereo) input channels and FX
returns can be routed to groups. Group routing follows
the channel faders and pan. They do not have send
levels.
You can use a Group to combine several channels for
single fader level control to a separate stereo output,
or sub mix to LR, Mixes and Matrix, or to apply
processing to several channels, for example:
Stereo drum sub mix
Compressor over several backing singers
Single EQ over several lavalier microphones
Grouping signals for recording or ME monitoring
Grouping channels for ducking
Grouping channels for AMM master level control
For sub mixing – Assign channels to the Group instead
of LR, then assign the Group to LR.
Access the Group masters using the Master Strip Grp
Mix
keys. The keys illuminate purple when in Group
mode.
Stereo Mix
Groups can become stereo mixes with send levels and
dedicated pan. They behave the same as Mix5-6, 7-8
and 9-10. Mixes can route to the Matrix. Mixes cannot
be routed to LR or other mixes.
You can use this to expand the number of stereo
mixes available, for example when you need more
monitor mixes or are working with more than 3 stereo
in-ear systems.
Access these Mix masters using the Master Strip Grp
Mix
keys. The keys illuminate blue when in Mix mode.
