I wish that there were instructions with this model that start at the "on" switch and end at a decent mix. Most of the videos on this are more of a advertisement than they are instructional....but I'm not giving up. Yours are, so far, the most informative that I've found yet. Keep up the good work!
@@J053B01L Knowing how to mix and knowing how to navigate a totally new product are two different things....just look at the previous comments. Life is tough. Being a cynic won't make it easier.
I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Allen and Heath need to pay you. I realize this is an “easy” mixer, but I haven’t messed with a mixer in over 10 years… a lot has changed. I fried my brain trying to learn it with their manual. I was gonna return it for something basic, but I like the features. I’m keeping it because of your videos. Thank you!
Hey thanks for these videos man! I recently got the CQ-18T and I'm spending time with it at home when I can - trying to get familiar with it before I gig with it. Your videos help, thanks. I hope to do some videos myself to help people on some struggles I had.
I have CQ-20b and did the same thing FBA and use a cheap mic and I was very surprise how well this work, great video I subscribed to you channel thanks
Hi. Last night I used the AFS on fixed mode on my new CQ18t and it worked great before the event started. Once it got louder in the room with all the musicians playing the ads kept on cutting frequencies and it affected the overall sound of the monitors and house sound. I also had it in the master out. My question is if once I ring the monitors and mains I will need to activate the Hold switch? Thanks for your help
Great Tutorial Demonstration!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Can't wait to get my CQ18... I wish it was automated to replace removed frequencies. when they're no longer an issue Ex: for a performer moving around on stage that may get a little feedback pending on where they're standing, but then moves... But the mic still sounded good with the issue frequencies removed... #Salute
Hey everyone. Thank you for the nice comments. Sorry for the late replies. I'm not a "You Tuber" so I don't check the comments on my videos too often. I'll respond to comments as soon as possible.
Hi, am I able to use the feedback assistant example only on the microphone input so that way if it applies filters to the microphone input, it won’t affect the overall sound of the keyboard
Great video, thank you! I just purchased a CQ12t but for some reason when I reset the filters using the iPad app, the CQ12 will glitch and stop playing audio. I have to restart the unit or load my Custom made scene again. Has this happened to anyone else?
I just got this one and having issues with the Bluetooth. It connects perfectly fine but after I’m playing music for about half way through the song it starts cutting out
Can u make a video of how to save a show, I’m coming from QSC where I always had my bands set up saved to a USB as a backup. From what I understand u can’t save scenes but u can save a show…
I have a QU16 that allows limiting access to functions based on login. Admin can do everything, I can limit a non-admin login to just the main faders, for example. Do the CQ series have the same feature?
Top you have a video on recording and playback from the SD card? The "manual" is very basic. I know they are trying not to have a big learning curve, however, there is not even one word about Gain or input levels under "Recording." Is there a way to message you?
If I wanted to plug my iPad into a channel to play music instead of Bluetooth can I do that? Thank you for your videos it’s really helpful I might be buying this.
Yes you can. If your iPad has a headphone jack, then you could simply use a 3.5 mm connector to a pair of dual quarter inch and just go in through the stereo channel.
I will Connect it with my Digitakt and Syntakt. Did the CQ18T Recognize the incoming channels (Tracks) from Digitakt and can i Edit the individually Tracks. Thanks for help and sorry for my Bad englisch
Can i get some serious answers about FBA. As i know its impossible to not hear feedback in order to FBA do his job. Any opinion what is better to use for live performance Fixed or Live mode? It make some sense for me for "fixed mode" because in live mode limits are removing automatically to old state.
Hot the hamburger menu top right and select reset. This will put a reset button on anything you can reset. This will clear everything at once on feedback assistant or other filters etc
I just got the cq20B and only managed to play around with it for the first time in rehearsal tonight. I use IEMs and usually just have them dry but I'm trying to figure out how to have a little of the FX that are being used on the drums and vox in the IEM. Tried to do it this evening and couldn't seem to get it to come through. Any advice?
On the processing screen, go to ST. Inputs/FX at the top. Then select Fx1 (right under that), Then hit "sends" at the bottom of FX1 - and adjust what output you want the FX to go to. That should do it.
The same way. You can see that I went to the processing screen and selected the main output and then tapped on its FBA. For an aux mix you would go that aux output and then click on that aux’s FBA.
Is there a way to bypass specific channels from the FBA filters? Say if you have only the room PA at a wedding and you set your filters with the FBA, can you bypass the stereo input, bluetooth, or any other non microphone channel so only the microphones are filtered and music is not affected?

100% agree
100% agree with this comment. They really need to do something like that.
There is a download manual on Allen and heath website you can print that goes over everything this board can do
Its not a mixer company's job to teach you how to be a live sound engineer. Hire someone if you need to.

Keep with it. Digital mixers are confusing, but this is by far the easiest one I've been around. Happy mixing.

Thank you. Your video on the Feedback Assostant is so much more informative than Allen & Heaths (which is as clear as mud).
Love when you said "thats definitely louder then i would probably ever want it as a wedge, thats rippin" lol
This was a very helpful video, and I really enjoy how easy it is to use this digital mixer.
Of course, I am subscribing to you for this one! Thanks, man!
Great video. Thanks for the information. Very informative.

They are automated. Use live mode like he shows at 5:30.

can you lock processing these settings?

Thank you so much I just ordered this system because of your reviews. Subscribing to your channel for sure.
Thank you. Where are you located and who did you order it from?
Located in Ohio bought it from Amazon be here Saturday.
I just learned how to play mixer. Can you show me how. Adjust PEQ to sing karaoke or not
I will Connect it with my Digitakt and Syntakt.
Did the CQ18T Recognize the incoming channels (Tracks) from Digitakt and can i Edit the individually Tracks.
Thanks for help and sorry for my Bad englisch
Bluetooth single breaks when using phone connection with it, any solution?
Howdy Jaylon,
I have the CQ12t and can't find the FBA in it and also can't load the firmware update, any suggestions?
Can i get some serious answers about FBA.
As i know its impossible to not hear feedback in order to FBA do his job. Any opinion what is better to use for live performance Fixed or Live mode?
It make some sense for me for "fixed mode" because in live mode limits are removing automatically to old state.
Hi are there any way to reset all filters back to 0 instead of doing it one by one? thanks
Hot the hamburger menu top right and select reset. This will put a reset button on anything you can reset. This will clear everything at once on feedback assistant or other filters etc
can you do this with cq 20?
I just got the cq20B and only managed to play around with it for the first time in rehearsal tonight.

Does it only apply to outputs ? Or can it apply to channels also ? Id like it to change the mic settings not the master l&r
Channel outputs only

How do I use the FBA on individual floor monitors? BTW, I'm an old school guy, new to the digital mixing world.
The same way. You can see that I went to the processing screen and selected the main output and then tapped on its FBA. For an aux mix you would go that aux output and then click on that aux’s FBA.
@@jaylonshane9673 Thanks, I'll give it a shot when I get home.
I think you will get a lot of praise from the singer when the singer hears his sound. 😅😁

It looks like you can run the FBA on individual channels as well as mix.
