acidbass Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi All Anyone using one of these for live mixing? Thinking about picking one up. I currently use a QU 16 (which isn't mine) controlled by iPad - I gather it's pretty much exactly the same bar the physical faders and knobs. Thoughts welcome Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Same software. Same goodness. 4U rack amd that is it. Apart from missing the child like joy I always get from flying faders there is nothing not to love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzodar Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yep, I've just upgraded to a QU-SB and am very happy with it. Slightly more complicated UI than the Mackie DL I was using before but now I'm familiar with it it's pretty straight forward. Fits in an SKB shallow rack case (4U) with an Airport Express router velcro'd to the top of the inside of the rack and is a nice compact solution.

Not used the Mackie but familiar with Qu Pad etc so hopefully should be a straightforward transition.[/color] [color=black]Thanks for the feedback!

pmjos Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I was going to get one but went for the QU16. I found working off a pad restrictive. Only a personal view. I got a stand so I could 'hang' the QU16 and its takes up much less space. Can still use a pad if I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Sonically no. There is no denying that the physical work surface of the qu16 is very convenient, but the convenience of a 4U box amd no multicore tip it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
