Frequently Asked Questions
The DX168/X provides 64 inputs and 32 outputs via SLink, significantly expanding the I/O capacity beyond the SQ6's onboard connections.
SQ-Drive provides a convenient way to capture multi-track live performances directly to USB, though post-processing and mastering will still be required for a truly polished result.
While the touchscreen is intuitive, mastering the advanced routing and DEEP plugin integration requires some dedicated time and practice, though the included workflow is generally well-designed.
