    Netting Started You just got your new TouchMix-30 Pro and can’t wait to try it out on your next show. But since TouchMix-30 Pro is a digital mixer there are lots of things you can do off-line to save time during setup and help you get acquainted with your mixer. We highly recommend spending a little quality time with the mixer before taking it to a show for the first time.

    • Omit Routing: When switched on, the scene will be recalled without making any change to routing such as subgroup assignments and pre/post selections. Your TouchMix-30 Pro is loaded with pre-defined scenes for various kinds of performances. You can find the one that’s most like the show you’ll be mixing and start there.

  • Page 11: Auxiliary Outputs

    Audio effects (FX) such as reverb, delay, chorus, pitch shift (pitch change) and pitch correct are essential in today’s audio production. The TouchMix-30 Pro has six multi-effects processors or “engines”. All of these processors may be configured to be one of six different effects including Lush Reverb, Dense Reverb, Chorus, Mono Delay, Stereo Delay and Pitch Shift.

  • Page 12: Name The Effects Channels (Or Mixes)

    Name the Effects Channels (or Mixes) In the middle of a show it’s easy to forget which effect was intended for what performers or instruments so this would be a great time to name the Effects Send channels. For example, you might name an FX channel “Voc Delay” or “Drum Rev”. FX Masters 1-8 FX 1 Setup...

  • Page 13: Pitch Correct

    Pitch Correct Pitch Correct Inputs 1-8 To assign Pitch Correct to a channel: In 1 Enable The Pitch Correct Effect is somewhat different than the Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Pitch Shift Effects. Pitch Correct can only be used on one input channel at a time and there is one Pitch Correct effect.

  • Page 17: Ireless Connection To Existing Network

    Connection to Existing Network When this method is used, TouchMix-30 Pro uses a wireless connection to an external router. Wi-Fi devices connect to TouchMix-30 Pro via the external router. Make sure a compatible USB Wi-Fi adapter is installed in one of the mixer’s USB ports.

    QSC NXD Amplifier Settings If you are using a QSC GXD amplifier, you can optimize the gain and sensitivity for use with your TouchMix-30 Pro. Refer to See "GXD Amp Settings" on page 51 Phantom Power (+48V) Most condenser microphones and some direct boxes require phantom power from the mixer. On TouchMix-30 Pro, phantom power may be turned on or off on a per channel basis.

  • Page 20: Auxiliary (Stage Monitor) Mixes

    Auxiliary (Stage Monitor) Mixes There are two general approaches to setting up stage monitor mixes: Input by Input With all the performers on stage, ask each performer in turn to play or sing just one thing (Kick, Snare, Guitar, Sax, etc). Ask each performer how much of that instrument they want in their monitor.

The E-Series voicings are intended for use with other amplifiers that lack DSP. An “X” suffix after the preset name indicates the preset is intended for use with a sub-woofer.

  • Page 23: Recording

    • For 44.1 kHz – Space required (in MB) = 10.6 x minutes x tracks It is good practice to have more disk space available than you need. If the drive is nearly full, TouchMix-30 Pro has to look for nooks and crannies of available space.

  • Page 24: Multi-Track Playback & Mix Down

    Multi-Track Recording The TouchMix-30 Pro is capable of recording 32 tracks of 32-bit, floating-point audio directly to a USB hard-drive (see above). Inputs 1 – 30 are the source for thirty of these tracks. Two additional tracks may be recorded from either the Main L/R output or Auxiliaries 13 & 14.

  • Page 26: Anti-Feedback System

    • Repeat until you have achieved sufficient system gain without feedback. Using the Feedback izard The tricky part is to identify the feedback frequencies. Fortunately, you don’t need to identify them because the TouchMix-30 Pro has built-in tools to do that for you. Here’s how to use those tools.

  • Page 27: More About The Anti-Feedback System

    Real Time Analyzer (RTA) An audio Real Time Analyzer breaks the spectrum into frequency bands – 1/3 octave bands for the TouchMix-30 Pro RTA – and displays the amplitude of the signal in each band. It is useful for visualizing the frequency balance of a signal and for identifying feedback frequencies.

  • Page 28: Mutes

    Copy & Paste The TouchMix-30 Pro has a powerful but simple copy and paste function that is operated by the U7 (copy) and U8 (paste) buttons. Copy and Paste is context sensitive so that what you are looking at is what will be copied. Only like things may be copied and pasted from and to each other. For example, a PEQ cannot be pasted to a GEQ.

  • Page 29: Patch Matrix

    The TouchMix-30 Pro has audio inputs plus a set of graphical controls and processing for each audio channel. Let’s call these “Inputs” and “Channels”. By default, the audio for Input 1 is controlled and processed by Channel 1, Input 2 is controlled and processed by Channel 2 and…, well you get the idea.
  • Page 30 To access the Patch Matrix: Patch Matrix Menu NOTE!: When the Patch Matrix is loaded for the first time after the mixer was powered on, it may take a few moments to display. The Patch Matrix displays the Analog Inputs across the top of the screen and the Destination Channels down the right side. Connection is indicated with lines and a blue circle.

    Before proceeding with the Tuning Wizard, listen to your system in the room using material with which you are familiar. Many contemporary loudspeaker systems – especially powered loudspeakers such as the QSC K, KW and KLA series – have been carefully tuned by design and will sound very good with little or no additional equalization.
  • Page 32 . The mixer produces the test signal and captures the measurement data. NOTE!: Each output of the TouchMix-30 Pro actually has two graphic equalizers. One is used by the Tuning Wizard to apply corrections based on the measurement data. Settings for this equalizer are indicated by the outlined or “ghost” fader caps on the GEQ screen. The other equalizer may be adjusted by the user or a target tuning can be applied by the wizard.
