American Audio Q-SD, Q-FXPRO and Q-record

First look November 2008

Contents of the video

Alright folks, in this video we're looking at these three mixers. They're all from a company called American Audio. Each one of them is known as a 19-inch rack mount mixer. In other words, that's 19 inches long. They're all, in a sense, identical except for this area down here. The top one is known as the QSD. The middle one is the QFX Pro. This one down here is the cue record. What I'm going to do now is just bring the camera down slightly and we'll have a closer look at the top one. Okay, what have we got here? Well, we've got an area there where we can put an SD card in. So, what we can do is I can download from my PC onto an SD card any music I want and then I can use that area there almost like a third turntable.

So, if I was to add, say, a CD player here and a CD player there, I could have that channel there on there. So in other words, two CD players, external CD players, and that would be my third music source. The next one down is exactly the same here, all of this area on the three units is identical. But the difference with the second one, which is known as the Cue FX Pro, is this guy here has got some effects in it. What have we got? We've got echo, we've got pan, trans, filter, auto filter, flanger, reverb and pitch shift. So, we can use some cool effects. Then if we look at the third one, which is called the Cue Record, what we can do here is I can fit this guy in. A little thumb drive and in the top of that I've got a one gigabyte card. I can put that in there and then that will allow me to record any one of the channels down here. So for example, I could have a record playing here and I could get this guy to record that record playing. Also what I could do, I can get this guy here if I switch to master

I can get it to record my set. Now I have done videos on the top one and the middle one previously. I will be doing another video on the bottom one in the near future. Practice and enjoy.
