I have purchased previous tutorials and have found them informative and very helpful, especially coming from an analog background, so thank you David.

We are going from an analog board to a digital board and that alone can be a bit overwhelming. We came across this video that really made it much clearer to us and we have watched it over and over with the board in front of us using it as a tutorial. They do a great job of breaking it up in sections so it is easier to digest. I intend on purchasing more Pro Audio videos as they are really great quality and they have proven to be a huge help.
Richard Jaensch
Great Place to Start
Learning a new digital board coming from an analog is intimidating. There is so much more the digital can do and so there is so much more to learn. This course packs a lot of information into 2-1/2 hours. I have now watched it twice and I adsorbed more info the second time. Don't expect to watch it once and retain everything. I am ordering the Live Sound course now that I see the wealth of information I will get.

Allen & Heath SQ Series Course
That's it. At last I found a Course that solved all my Newby Problems at digital Live Mixing and in a way I could understand the enormus possibilities this Mixer has. Great teaching by David Wills. Thanks a lot.

Easy to follow Instructional
I have a couple of courses and they're all easy to follow and they demonstrate in pretty good detail the functions you'll be using in a real life situation.
Alexandre Cotnoir
Great!
Just started into the course and was pleased to find included a nice Mixing 101 video, great for a newbie like me. I look forward to more gems like this!

Great tutorial
Kevin OGarra
Awesome course.
A really good course to help you get oriented with the sq series routings, workflow etc. A really great starting point for any level sound engineer. Cant beat the price either. Recommended.

Allen Heath video on SQ5,6,and7
Hey David the video on SQ series was great. I was able to learn guite a bit more on the sq 7 For anyone that hasn't taken the online or video on this series. It's well worth the money. Thank-you very much for taking the time to show and demonstrate these Larry J.

From guessing to knowing!
The Allen & Heath SQ Tutorial provided much needed technical information in an easily understandable manner. It enabled me to quickly find and fix some problems that I have struggled with for a long time. I highly recommend all the ProAudio tutorials for beginners and more advanced church AV staff.

Great SQ Videos
It was great to have someone to through what everything does in detail. We got our sound system a couple of years ago. So, thank you so much Dave.

Fantastic Tutorial!!
I could have used more on the I/O but, otherwise it was fantastic.
John Owings
Allen & Heath SQ series
Amazing and comprehensive tutorial over that SQ series.
Craig Livaich
Exactly what I was looking for….
I was complainimg to my Sweetwater rep that Allen and Heath videos are too quick and condensed to grasp the scope of the SQ5. They are more marketing videos, where I wanted training videos. I found many on YouTube that addressed a small portirom of the board, but they were scattered about. I needed a start to finish package. Someone who understood the foundation of learning, and taught sequentially, where each video drew on what came before.
Then I found David. The course is comprehensive and at the proper pace to learn what the board is capable of. It sets you up to begin learning as no one can teach experience, one needs to dig in and get ones hands on the workflows to master the board. Maybe others who come with more experience with digital boards would feel differently.
Some subjects need a bit more depth. Id like to see him add to what he has created as we (the end users) call for help with certain subjects…. Id like to see greater detail on the record and playback for,example.
David is so approachable, I may ask him if he wiling do additional in depth amendments of the boards setup and workflows. Like a masterclass of the SQ series. I’d pay for it.
Bottom line A+
Will buy additional courses. We are lucky to have this man, doing what he does.
Simon Gyamfi
Good tutorials and very helpful.
Good tutorials and very helpful. Takes time to explain. Still learning We are yet to set up our sq-7.
Riccardi Denis
well explain!
Its easy to follow.

Very comprehensive tutorial on a very versatile table
This tutorial does not suppose any prior knowledge of the SQ mixing table. Of course as this is a sound engineer tool you need to understand the basics of what you can do with sound. No worries, you can follow other tutorials on gain, compression etc… I had no
Experience whatsoever with the SQ table (I know Allen & Heath) and I was able to perform a show with a small band afterwards. I took some notes and pictures and I was literally ready to do the job on a SQ7. Ok you don’t know all the tips and tricks, but it gives confidence. That helps a lot. The rest is experimenting and experience.

A great resource for the Allen & Heath SQ6
I am the least technical person on our church tech team. When we purchased a Allen & Heath SQ6 for broadcasting our services, I was really intimidated by the new board. Thanks to David's awesome tutorial, I am no longer afraid of it and look forward to volunteering to run it every chance I get. David's thorough and easy step by step explanations make it very simple to understand. I am definitely not an expert yet. But thanks to David's training I feel like I am getting better each week. I would highly recommend this tutorial for anyone looking to learn how to master the SQ6. Thank you very much David! Your years of experience and excellent teaching are definitely helping the rest of us out! Keep up the great work!

The course is great, I am a video person and have recently got an SQ6 to manage and the course is great. As a novice I was really scared but the course is walking me through all the components of the mixer. Only half way through the course but really recommend it.

Excellent resources from beginners through to advanced
I recently purchased the tutorials on the Allen and Heath SQ series after using the console for a couple of years in a high school setting. I wanted to hone my skills on the advanced functions and settings to use in school productions and have found the tutorials invaluable. I can refer back to specific sections and topics as they are well organised. Some of the basics videos could potentially be shown to the students I am teaching to operate the console in their year 11-12 course. Great to have this complete resource in one place.
Brad May
Great presentation and easy to follow
This is an excellent walk-through of the SQ boards. David is a great teacher, and he makes you feel at ease while learning by distilling the important points down into actionable information. He does so with a smile as well, which helps :)
Stephane Guillemette
SQ6 training review
After watching it seems like every single video ever made about the SQ-6 mixer on youtube and working with my board for over two years, I still had some questions that I just could not find any answers for. Until I landed on David's SQ training video. I was pretty experienced with my board and knew quite a bit going into the training but I finally put the last pieces together and was able to configure some pretty complex routing, recording and monitoring setup thanks to David's excellent teachings. Definitively the best $30 I've spent since the day I got my SQ-6 back in March of 2019. If David were to come out with an "advanced / expert" version showing more complex setups and configurations, especially recording a large concert to a DAW I would be all over that in a minute without question.
If you own an Allen and Heath SQ mixer, BUY this course NOW. You will not regret it, I just wished I would have found it 2 years ago as opposed to last month !.
Cheers,
Stephane

Good overview and clear explanation of the device. There is lot it can do and Dave explains it very nicely. I have watched the different videos a number of times now.

Great training course! David is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He does a great job with each little detail and lays it out so it makes sense. I am a visual learner. I have watched this course in full once and plan to watch it several more times. This is by far the best training I have found on the Allen & Heath SQ technology. Thank you David!

A&H SQ7 training
Hi, I purchased your A&H SQ7 training are are very glad I did. The traning was spot on for a newbie like me. I have been watching som other trainings online, but your course is absolutely the best I have seen when it comes to simplicity and how to use this mixer in a structured way. I will absolutely recomend this, specialy for anyone like me that are fairly new to this game. Thx a lot for making this course.
Philip Borgnes
Fantastic start to learning SQ6
We just swapped out our soundboard from a 24 channel Mackie analog mixer to the SQ6. And, I had a day to basically learn how to use the SQ6 to support FOH and streaming at our church. David's training was the lifesaver I needed to get up and running quickly. The feedback (the good kind) was great! People commented how good the audio sounded in the room compared to what we had been able to do with our previous board. There is much more to learn on this board, but without David's tutorial I would have been lost.

This tutorial was just what I needed to get me started and than made it possible to use this complex piece of equipment. Your teaching method matches my learning style. Thank you for the way you patiently explained each part of the SQ7.

I ahve been using the board for over a year now. This course filled in many of the blanks i had. Fantastic!! Thank you.

SQ7 New User
Your tutorial is the exact thing I needed to jump start my "hands-on" training with an A&H SQ7 console. I'm an "old analog guy" too, with over 20 years in live sound reinforcement (small local bands and church applications), and after an 8-year hiatus am getting back into volunteering my time with a new church. The SQ7 is a bit intimidating at first glance, but your tutorial has shown me tips and best practices to use that I know will have me regaining my confidence in a short time. Definitely worth the cost, and I recommend it to anyone needing first-time instruction or a refresher course on this equipment. Thanks for making this available.
Allen- rural Iowa
Just what I needed
I learned how to handle my church's SQ-5 from YouTube videos, but there was a lot missing, and I spent a lot of time watching videos that repeated the same concepts. Now in this one DVD I have all that I need both for me, and to help teach others how to use the board. This will assure my obsolescence down the road, which is the whole idea, to raise up others that can free you to lead in other areas!
Derek Baker
Simple, easy-to-follow course
This course was very easy to follow and shows the power of this board by taking you through step-by-step instructions on where to make your adjustments, how to reorganize controls and pre-sets, as well as save new settings for different users (musicians/inputs).
Highly recommend this course if you're an SQ owner and looking forward to checking out other courses

Amazing step by step tutoring for the SQ7!
I needed to quickly learn as I bought fir a job and had no idea how to even use the basics! I’m now instantly proficient and couldn’t do without this!
Ted Nashville TN
Very Helpful!
This video series really speeds up familiarization of the SQ5 mixer. My application was bringing this amazing mixer into my studio solely to handle digital, analog, and CV synths. I would definitely recommend this series given the professional production and the content. If I have one niggle, it would be I have issues with certain accents and it would be wonderful if this video had sub-titles to keep me focused. With all that said, this is a beautifully produced learning aid and highly recommended. G’day. Ted Nashville TN

SQ Series Video Tutorial
This video takes a user through a series of tasks on using the SQ series mixing consoles. These console have many feature & functions which can over whelm a beginner, but the instructor takes you through step by step on each process to help you gain thorough understanding of how to accomplish tasks and gain understanding of the processes involved. I like the hands on approach to learning and you can quick go back and review if needed with this video training. Covers a lot of areas so good for beginners or more advanced users.
Ben K
SQ6 Tutorial
This video series was a great value to me. I was lost trying to track down videos on youtube and never really had a good linear mental model of what was going on. This series really straightened me out to the point where I can easily navigate the SQ6 and its features. After watching this tutorial I have been able to teach others. It was also a very efficient, fun, and engaging production.
Francois Seguin
Amazing tutorial!
Greatly appreciated this video tutorial. As a beginner, I was overwhelmed by all the features on my new Allen and Heath SQ6. This tutorial helped me a great deal!!
MICHAEL DAVID MILLER
Audio Guys Doing Video?
Overall, I found the material to be in a nice logical order. Having looked at a number of the A&H videos, I didn't find as orderly an approach. You folks did a far better job of that than A&H.
As per my title, audio guys like to laugh at "vidiots" trying to do audio. When I hear the instructor say on your video, "I'm not sure if you can see this", my video training sez, wait a minute, we should cut in a closer shot to show this more clearly. This happened a few times, and left me wondering what was being shown. Sometimes you went almost too close when selecting something on the touchscreen, then you almost miss the hand on the encoder knob making an adjustment.
The closeups you show of the touchscreen area for instance are better, straight on shots. I noticed in the A&H videos that some of the closeups were done at slightly odd angles.
Unfortunately, the SQ Reference Guide I have is a bit light on detail of the mixer surface, so I can't really see everything I want.
All told, I am happy that I purchased this material. It gives a good, logical tour through the console. These are the best videos on the SQ console that I've seen to date.
Thank you.
Ewen Erickson
SQ made easy!!!
Been going through this tutorial for tech at my church, its spectacular! Not quite done yet but I've learned way more than I would have on Youtube. Great buy whether you have the SQ 5,6 or 7
Kurt Christenson
Huge amount of info!
The SQ series has all the capabilities that an amateur sound person will ever need and far more than most of us understand how properly use - or even know about. David gives a clear intro to the functions of the SQ series along with when and why you should use them. If you have a choice between this DVD and the User’s Manual, chose the DVD.
Ryan
Great Course!
Easy to follow, step by step. Learned everything I needed to get started on the SQ-5. I plan to purchase additional classes!
Michael Ebaugh
Clear, Useful, On-target Training- Well Done. Highly Recommended!
I enjoyed the clear explanations, positive attitude and expert guidance. Even though I am an experienced AH Sound Tech (SQ6, GLD80, QU) I learned some new things that filled in some gaps. I am looking at possibly purchasing additional seats for new Sound Techs at our church this coming summer.

Purchased this course in preparation of transitioning from and old GB7 40 channel analog board to the new SQ7. Course was great. Explained the board operation and flow well. Study the videos a few days and was up and running with no issues on the the day the board was delivered.
Leon Gerry
Great customer service
Recently I purchased the SQ SERIES online tutorials, but I received the wrong one. David responded to my email in less than 24 hours and corrected the mistake. The series has been very informative and has helped me to do be able to train on the SQ7 off line using my iPad.

Allen & Heath Series: what you really need to know
This ProAudioEXP video on the Allen & Heath SQ series of mixers was hugely helpful in my decision to buy one of the mixers. The ProAudioEXP video reviews the SQ series in a way that is neither patronisingly simplistic nor does it assume that everyone is up to speed with mixer desks and mixing techniques and philosophy. I was subsequently able to confidently buy my SQ mixer safe in the knowledge that it had been thoroughly and expertly reviewed and explained. I can also use the video as a useful resource to remind me of some of the more detailed aspects of the desk as I progress.
On the strength of this video I went on to purchase the ProAudioEXP video on home recording which I can equally highly recommend. All in all I’m a very satisfied customer.
Dave also responded promptly and helpfully to a further request for clarification that I sent him.

Allen and Heath SQ series Tutorial
Thanks David! Very well thought out tutorial, with plenty of great information on the SQ series desks. It is worth every penny I paid for it, as have been all of your products. One of the really neat things about your courses is that you always have them to refer back to. I would recommended this to anyone new to the SQ series. Thanks for producing these wonderful classes.
Chris Quinlan
Allen and Heath SQ Series Video Tutorial (SQ5, SQ6, SQ7)
I wish this series went into a bit more depth, but that may make it harder to watch. It's a great series for those that have just got their feet wet on this console and want to learn about all the features that are "under the hood." I like the pace and clarity of the teaching. Great value!
William Galliford
Great Tutorial series on the Allen & Heath SQ Mixers
The videos in this series were very well done. It was well organized, and very well taught. I appreciated the detailed explanations of the Allen & Heath terminology. Though mixers do similar tasks, they often do things in a different order and use different terms and protocols. The instructor unlocked all those mysteries in a very clear and precise manner. I highly recommend this series.
Kevin Wildman
Training for SQ7
Just what I was looking for after trawling the web and not getting satisfaction from all the random tutorials on Youtube. Great to have someone walk through the process from newbee to intermediate user. Perfect for getting to know all the capability and features of the SQ Series of mixers.
Petar Poucki
Drumheads Review
Good Day! Im a Session drummer and play in a few projects. The board is used in my studio for band rehearsals to route Vox and keys into a small pa and sub out to mic pre-s to route into Apogee Ansemble into protools. A section of the tutorial that I have not seen is one to address the integration into pro tools. ( could be too varied and complicated due to the various systems. ) the over all tutorial is the best I’ve seen - as with many things musical if you can’t explain it to a 6 year old you probably don’t know it yourself. Clearly this is your world. Well done. Any help on use with pro tools / Mac / would be the cherry on the Sundae of board use.
Mihai Merca
Excelent
Great tutorial, this helped me a lot understanding how the SQ5 mixer works. Thanks
Mark Gosling
What we were looking for!
Our church bought a new SQ7 and the instal training consisted of “look up YouTube videos to learn how to use it”. When something went wrong we didn’t know how to fix it because we didn’t set it up or program the board. David’s course walked us through all the systems and capabilities we needed. In one week we took our system from moving faders to running a sound board. We can troubleshoot and program now in no time at all. I have watched theses videos three times already and learn new things each time. They are broken up into bite size classes so you can go back and find lessons you want to see again. We will be getting more specialty courses soon to enhance our program. Wish I would have found these sooner. It would have saved five months of frustration trying to learn our new system by trial and mostly error.
Mark Froelich
Well made series
I feel very comfortable looking at the SQ Series after having gone through this tutorial from David. Very confident that you will too have a solid foundation to work with these fantastic boards.
Russell
Fantastic tutorial!
As with all of David's tutorials, this is easy to follow and understand. Would highly recommend it, I've used the SQ a few times but never really gone further than the basics. This was very helpful.
Je'Mahl Ray
Great tutorial! But....
The tutorials are phenomenal! I am sort of a beginner. So for me some of the terminologies could have been explained a bit better. I am a professional Photographer and sometimes teach / mentor others. When I do so I try to give instructions on a crayon level where even a youth could understand.
In the mixing 101 certain terminologies could have been explained in more detail for clarity. Examples are compression, routing, aux sends... etc. just my opinion.
In the end, because I pick up pretty quick and I did additional research to get a better understanding. The tutorial does give you enough information to get in front of the board and operate it as needed.
Over all I am pleased!
keith murphy
great help
Was Definitely worth the money,and was a great help getting me up to speed with my churches new Sq5 mixer...........loved the teaching style and all the instruction that wasn't covered in the manual....thanks,it really helped a lot....

PAEXP SQ7 (KIS) Course is Best-In-Class
I head the Media Ministry at my church. We just bought the Allen & Heath SQ7 and I needed a way to get my team up to speed on it before we went live. Came across ProAudioEXP and David via a Google search. I read reviews and took a $30 gamble which really paid off. David is an excellent teacher and his video persona is very encouraging. Keep It Simple is the best way for first-timers to learn quickly and the SQ7 course hit the mark. My whole team went from nervous to confident in 7 well-timed sessions. We will be back for the Master Classes and other courses in the very near future. Finding this course was a real blessing.
Robert Thomas
David Wills Does It Again!
This mixer is amazing, but unfortunately, the manual tells you what it can do, but doesn't do much to show you how to do it. After watching this tutorial by David Wills, I have a much firmer grasp on how to use the unlimited potential of this awesome mixer! I have purchased all of the Masterclasses, and quite a few of the keyboard and studio tutorials, and I've always been impressed by how much I've learned. Also, because you own the tutorial, you can go back and learn even more the second time you watch it. Thank you David for another in a long line of very helpful tutorials!!!!

Allen & Heath SQ

SQ7 Killer Coarse
David,
you've knocked this course out the ball park. We just replaced our old Roland M400 V Mixer in the auditorium for the Allen and Heath SQ7 and BOOM!
Your tutorial videos made the transition process so easy. I would fully recommend this coarse.
Well done!
dennis huijberts
Awesome course.
This course gives you the best information you need.
Chris Sentman
Great course, mixer, _and_ teacher.
I am an SQ-6 user (House of Worship) and have been eager to get some structured instruction on the SQ line. The SQ-6 is my first digital console and my learning to this point has been very... tactical. I'd picked up just enough to run a Sunday morning but not much else.
When I saw that David was doing an SQ course I was all over it. Having first gotten acquainted with David through his 'Ultimate Live Sound School' course I was very confident this course would likewise be excellent. It was. David helped clear up many gray areas and now I feel considerably more confident supporting (and hopefully improving!) our sound.
Next, I plan on stepping into David's Compression and EQ masterclasses. Thanks for all you do, David!
