9.12 Working with the Groups (Qu-24, Qu-32, 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.
