- Got an Allen & Heath CQ-series mixer and can't figure out how to get audio to and from your computer (stereo or multitrack)? This is the tutorial guide for you. I demo this using the CQ-12T, but it also applies to the CQ-18T and CQ-20B.

This is exactly what I was looking for thanks
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I love this mixer, it's perfect for my live band needs. Can you show how to use backing tracks, click and audio goes to monitor output, and only audio to main outputs
Sadly, I had to return it to A&H so I can't. That's a great idea though!
yes you can. I have a CQ20b.
can you do more with this than rode podcaster 2
Those products are aimed at different markets. From a shear input standpoints, yes the A&H mixer does more. It also has some features that are aimed at live or studio recording that the Rode doesn't. However, the Rode has some podcast-specific features the A&H doesn't have. So it really depends on what your main usage is.
This is beautiful Sir. I missed the Cable part from the mixer. Is it from the usb b?
Thanks! If I understnad your question correctly, the CQ mixer connects to your computer using a USB-B (on the mixer) to a USB-A (on your computer). They supply a cable. Let me know if that's not what you meant.
Good job on your channel Apostle Praise God
@@Ambientes thank you very much my great Sir
I want a different mix to come out for livestream than the house mix, and have the flexibility to change individual channels for that bus/matrix mix just for the livestream without affecting what is heard on the house mix. I am a little confused on this as we currently have an old analog mixer we want to replace, and not sure if I can do what we want to do on the CQ series (Separate mixes that can be set up for house and livestream). Can you set up a dedicated mix just for the livestream on this?
Hi and that's an important question! Now, I don't have the unit anymore as I had to return it, but I'm pretty sure it can do what you want. You have those six outputs, and you can set them so they're stereo pairs (1/2, 3/4 etc). You independently set the levels of what you're sending to these monitor outputs, and it doesn't affect the main mix. You can also pan independently as well, as far as I can tell from reading the manual. You can also monitor each output via headphones. So...yes. Probably. :) I would just verify with A&H in case I missed something, since I can't actually test it.
Is it possible to record through a mobile device for videos or live streams?
Do you mean use the phone as a source? Yes! You can choose Bluetooth as an input source. I didn’t get a chance to try it while I still had the mixer in-hand.
Could you teach us how to use this mixer to stream with obs?
Sadly, I had to return it to A&H because it was only on loan.
