Wonderful lecture, thanks so much!!!

So smooth 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Very informative. Thanks

I use subgroups to enable the channel strip fader to run at zero (and of course input sensitivity at zero/line level which is crucial), ergo unity. I arrange the groups into Hot signal and Cold signal. Hot will see the group faders running below zero and the Cold group faders at zero or maybe a little higher depending on system gain structure post console. This way you can mix at a high fader resolution which typically sees the channel faders moving just plus or minus 2-3dB during the gig. Using zero as a reference point just makes life easier as demoed in the video.

I LOVE MAKING DUB WITH ME RE 150 hoping to snag the 301! love the video !

Can someone direct me to resources for the studies he is referencing.

Thank you!

pan left and right that you cant even hear in this video? cool awesome

Played a formative part of my mid-20's onwards, back in the 80's & 90's. Such an influential producer & live-mix engineer. Cut such a unique path for his own sound - along w/ working on albums/live shows with so many mavericks/oddballs & vastly under-rated singers/musicians from Jamaica. (Bim Sherman - r.i.p.)

Had countless great nights @ Tackhead, Mark Stewart, Keith LeBlanc, Dub Syndicate, On-U-Sound gigs in Edinburgh during the mid/late 80's >>> 90's. Thanks, Adrian & the On-U-Sound crew of performers.

Hi we have 2 roland 5000 we would like to know how to connect to both of them because we don’t know which way ,so many ways,we have 3 roland s2416,We want to use one from monitors and then the other one for the front what we can do for the fix this problem

I'm struggling so hard to produce good audio for my short movies and it seems like boom mics or shot guns are the way to go. Or I haven't perfected the lav. Good vid.

Prima video, maar 2 dingen: die valse zangeres aan het intro kost je geloofwaardigheid, er is meer nodig dan een leuk uiterlijk. En het steenkolenengels... maak dan de video gewoon in het Nederlands.

Great video, i actually stood along side you at a Prodigy gig in Manchester, was cool as fuck

I think the uploader of this video never checked the video before uploading! or he messd up

Thanks Adrian, you're an inspiration. Very generous of you to share your knowledge in this way. I'ved loved your music from the release of Echomania. The recent record with another favrouite musician, Sonic Boom, is magical x

It’s fabulous to hear Bob’s voice crisply and clear through that superior microphone. He is a pure genius! Starting at such an early age of fourteen on HAM radio, he devoted himself to being the best he could be. His parents supported his learning as a child, and he excelled to remarkable heights within the science and technology of sound. I lived two blocks from him in his village of Marissa, IL.

Man, he got the best job in da world, ja!

Modulation Frequencies are not reatched by the Dual Channel FFt Analyzers. So Measurung FULL STI via these softwares is an incorrect procedure

Ok what about signal to noise ratio? Ridiculous.

Bob sold me a pair of PR31BW mics and challenged me to try them on overheads. Best purchase EVER! They reject noise from the air conditioner, from my wife's footsteps upstairs, car doors outside.... whereas all my other brands pick up EVERYTHING unwanted. I plan to buy more soon. They're an all around mic.

Part man, part mixing board. Amazing to see the incredible skills so honed. One of my best life moments was going up to the balcony at an On-U Sound System gig at University of London Union and finding that Adrian Sherwood was up there working the desk while Mark Stewart stood next to him toasting on the mic (with the crowd down on the main floor not realizing).

Good stuff 😊

Rectums and floortums DO come with more low end, yes.

So incredibly articulate at explaining these very complex concepts in understandable language. Thank you!

Wow, that is awesome!

Hey dad, make me a backing track.

Comprehensive discussion right here!

Learned a lot here. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Must be notted that it is not ideal to sub-gain inputs with digital desk because : you need the signal to come in as hot as possible to have the highest bit resolution on inputs converters. On Digital desk you might try to gain up the hottest you can before peak and then use a trim to put digital signal down to have your fader at 0db mark .

This technique is terrible for gain structuring and signal-to-noise ratio management.

Bob is the man

Great video!!

So why do I have to turn on the volume almost to distortion to hear your voice ? Exactly on this video !?

Dude I dig your means of explanation

every ten seconds "yeah" LMAOOOO

Спасибо!

interesting thoughts, he really knows everything :)

Dropped some gems here!

this was fascinating from start to finish, one of the most interesting talks on any topic that I've heard in a while! His passion for microphones really comes through, this is a guy who loves mics and I like them more as a result of hearing him talk about them :)

Thank you sir for your packaged information

vocals, snare, kick. in that order.

Both sides of the argument are correct: (1) Technically speaking, this method is not optimal gain staging (2) This method is highly practical especially that modern equipment have lower noise floors. I recommend Dave Rat's "Optimize Gain Structure" video where he discusses how to achieve the best of both worlds.

Best vid on youtube hands down, thanks Marcel!

This all makes absolute sense to me. Crystal clear. I’ve always thought I was a bit mad thinking like this, but the most spiritual experience of my life so far was the first time I heard a massive sound system outside. The way he talks about music listening as meditation. Everything. Amazing interview. I also happen to have a lot of experience with psychedelics, and I can tell you this type of thinking becomes even more clear. Seeing the connections between sound, vibration and patterns is just mind blowing. Super interesting guy.

Thanks a lot. Very interesting and very well presented.

Genuinely lovely bloke. Saw the On-U sound just after lockdown and Adrian was very gracious with his time after the gig and a joy to watch on the desk,

Overly loud guitarists. Is it possible to invert the foh guitar signal to reduce perceived volume? I'm just guessing.

I'm going to buy and try placing sE bass drum V Kick Drum Microphone with Classic and Modern Voices Supercardioid near hi hat snare and bass for a single mic set up. What do you guys think? Also should I get a balanced or unbalanced. Mic cable to 1/4     

Fantastic summary. I have 4 similar mics are yours is the only video that has provided such great info
