Hello guys, how are you all doing? The Question is that after purchasing QC i have downloaded presets from cloud and been playing it hard, later on when i have plugged my QC to my Scarlett Solo using output 3 and multi out the preset i have downloaded, i am not being able to make it sound better while recording in my DAW. Please suggest me how to I/O proper settings. ---

You have to add a mono bus output in your daw on usb5. And modify the preset on QC using this input. On daw you have to record using input 1 and as output the new mono bus…(u5) and you can have four line , u5 u6 u7 u8 with the same way of work, where QC Is a external processor , and PC Is all disponible for synths drums etc etc. I use QC as “plugin”…🙂 You have to use QC also as audioboard, for me It Is VERY nice ---

I don’t get it can you please be kind enough to tell me about more of usb5,6,7,8 etc what you mean by usb5 ? Is that an option in my DAW which in my case is cubase? How do I make preset in my QC for mono output?? ---
