8.16 Utility – Qu-Drive
This screen lets you check and format a USB device
(key or hard drive) for use with Qu-Drive. Once
formatted you do not need to format it again.
Note – Formatting the USB device will erase all current
data on it. If you want to keep this then make sure you
archive the data elsewhere first.
Note – For reliable performance we recommend you
first format your USB device using the Qu mixer
Format utility. Once formatted use this with Qu only.
Do not use the device for other applications.
Note – Use a USB HDD (hard disk drive), not a key, for
Qu-Drive stereo and multitrack recording and
playback. A USB key can be used for data transfer but
is not recommended for audio.
Plug in the USB device. Wait for the mixer to read the
drive. The status window displays information about
the USB device:
File system: OK (no need to format)
File system: Unsupported (you need to format it)
Touch Format to start formatting. When complete, wait
a few seconds for the mixer to read the key. If
successful the status window will display ‘OK’.
Note – Do not remove the USB device or turn off
power while until formatting is complete.
For more information on working with USB refer to the
‘Understanding Qu-Drive and USB’ article available in
the Qu Knowledgebase on the Allen & Heath web site.
