Allen & Heath SQ5 ProTools & Dante Routing

[@rigovargas17]

Hello, can you do a video where you route a mixing session on protools so you use all the processing of the console and then print that into a stereo track? I guess you can use plugins too to make it a hybrid mix but the routing outputs is what I'm interested in. Thank you

This is possible, however we haven't purchased any plugins for the board and mostly use compression on vocals and some reverb and of course EQ. Just like in ProTools, the better plugs are for sale. However the basic compressors and reverbs are very good. What we do is record a stereo version of the house mix as well as multi track so that we have a final print right away and can also re-mix all tracks in ProTools plugins later if we want to. It's on the "to-do" list to show how we do this with the routing.

Will this ONLY do up to 32 channels or can I have more, like 48 or so? I would like to have more than 32. However, if I can only do 32, I will just save my money and do USB Streaming.

@@DavidAnthonyFlores Dante makes everything so much easier with routing flexibility. Expensive but we love it.
