Transferring tracks between TouchMix and DAW
A utility application – TouchMix DAW Utility - that facilitates transferring tracks between TouchMix mixers and Digital Audio Workstations is available
for download at www.qsc.com. The application runs on Mac or Windows computers.
Sample Rate
In general, use 44.1 kHz for CD projects, and 48 kHz for video projects. Do not change sample rate while recording.
To View or Change Sample Rate:
Menu
Sample Rate 44.1 kHz 48 kHz
Multi-Track Recording
All TouchMix models are capable of recording all audio inputs plus a stereo mix directly to a USB hard-drive (see above). The audio is captures as a
32-bit, floating point wave file.
Recording and Playback Capacity
• TouchMix-30 Pro: 32 tracks (30 inputs + stereo mix)
• TouchMix-16: 22 tracks (20 inputs + stereo mix)
• TouchMix-8: 14 tracks (12 inputs + stereo mix)
Connect a hard-drive (see above) to one of the USB inputs of the mixer.

for each channel you want to record.
Once all the channels you wish to record have been armed, touch (Record Button) to begin recording. Touch the (Stop) button to end recording.
NOTE:
User buttons may be assigned to Arm / Disarm and select Track or Input as the source for all channels at once. "User
Buttons" on page 24
IMPORTANT:
Do not unplug your TouchMix until you have stopped recording! If you do, your recorded tracks will not be usable. You
must end the Session by touching the STOP button on the transport control. Doing so writes a header file that is needed in order to
play back the recording or import it into a DAW.
The TouchMix mixers permit over-dubs, however only the last recorded track will play back on the mixer. Earlier passes are left on the drive and
may be imported into a DAW.
