 USB recording and playback 

USB B Streaming – Connect an Apple

®

 Mac or Windows

®

 PC 

computer  to  the  rear  panel  USB  B  port  to  stream  up  to  32 

channels of audio in both directions and send MIDI messages. 

You can download the Allen & Heath 

DAW Control driver

 (for 

Mac  computer  only)  to  convert  the  Qu  MIDI  Strip  messages 

into  HUI  or  Mackie  Control  protocol.  Download  the  Allen  & 

Heath 

Qu Windows driver

 to stream standard MIDI messages 

to a PC. 

Set the Qu MIDI channel number using the 

Setup / Control / 

MIDI

 screen. 

 

Qu-Drive  recording  direct  to  USB  drive  –  You  can  record 

stereo

  or 

18-track  multitrack

  direct  to  a  USB  storage  device 

plugged into the front panel Qu-Drive port. 

Note

 - Qu-Drive recording requires the USB storage device to 

support high sustained transfer rates. Not all USB devices will 

guarantee flawless performance. To find out more please refer 

to the ‘

Understanding Qu-Drive and USB

’ document in the Qu 

Knowledgebase on the Allen & Heath  web site. Use the USB 

storage device with the Qu mixer only. Do not use it for other 

applications. 

Format  the  USB  device  on  the  Qu  mixer  before  recording 

using  the 

Setup  /  Utility  /  Qu-Drive

  screen.  This  clears  the 

drive and sets up the Qu directory structure. 

Patch  the  sources  to  record  using  the 

Setup  /  I/O  Patch  / 

USB  Audio

  screen.  Use  the  rotary  to  spin  through  available 

sources  to  each  of  the  18  tracks.  Press  the 

Fn

  key  ‘+1’  to 

increment quickly through the tracks. Choose channel sources 

to be from Insert Sends or Direct Out. 

Stereo  recording  uses  the  same  source  as  multitrack  CH17 

and 18. 

Record  Stereo  or  Multitrack  using  the 

Home  /  Qu-Drive

 

screen.  Recording  creates WAV  files in  Qu  directories  on  the 

USB device. 

  Do  not  edit  the  name  or  contents  of  files  on  the  USB 

device.  To  avoid  errors,  we  recommend  you  reformat  the 

device on the Qu mixer before your next session if you copy or 

delete files using a computer. 

Play back Stereo or Multitrack using the 

Processing

 screen 

Preamp page 

Fn

 key view. Choose ‘USB’ as the source to the 

channels. Select ‘Qu-Drive’ as the Global USB Source. 

Using  SoftKeys  for  transport  control  –  You  can  assign 

transport  controls  for  stereo  or  multitrack  recording  or 

playback  using  the 

Setup  /  Control  /  SoftKeys

  screen.  For 

example,  to  arm,  start  and  stop  recordings  while  using  the 

screen for other mixing functions.
