To say you hate feedback i think you need to be more specific as to what kind of feedback you are referring to . Unwanted feedback as opposed to intentional deliberated wanted feedback. Guitar feedback when used properly can be very musical creating beautiful textures you would otherwise not be able to do without it. Frank Zappa's use of feedback is incredible and extremely controlled. Pete Townsends use of feedback is a vital part of his music. Dont hate these types of feedback. In fact i love that type of feedback. So when you make a blanket statement I hate feedback without excluding the kind of feedback some of us love may be slightly confusing to an idiot. hahahhh idiot lives matter!!!

SM57 has better high end - and sounds louder, but you can adjust that in the mix. Honestly, for the price, the WM isn't bad at all. I'm actually amazed at the sound of that little thing. All of its "problems" which are subjective in the first place, can be handled in the DAW. I find your corporation worship troubling. Shure doesn't need the money - and we don't need your capitalist brand worship. I can imagine you saying, "You shouldn't steal from Walmart."

I had the real thing of this copy and it died on me for no apparent reason. I didnt drop ot out of a helicopter. Lol. I bought this weymic and to tell the truth, i really like it. I like the open sound on it as compared to its cousin. Ive tried it on snare, toms, vocals, and electrical guitar and may be getting a few more for my toms. Im no expert but i have been mixing and recording for 20 years so take my opinion with a grain of salt. As far as ethical/moral views....I guess I will burn in hell.

About three quarters into this, when he was going over options for reducing level without affecting gain and fader unity but before getting to 'sub-groups', I was guessing, "Enable the -20db pad?".. Then he said 'sub-groups' and I'm like.. But I'm using an analog mixer. I guess this is the wrong video for me.

i was used to play the virtual mix in my home studio through the Midas M32C with DL32 which i mix with during live performances. Logical if you want to prepare something for the next gig. Recently i decided to mix one of the tracks in the box. When i heard the snare i was amazed because i had never heard it like that through my digital mixing console. In the studio i use a small Audient iD22 interface, i am convinced now, very good stuff! Very nice to hear that (most) A/D conversion can not absorb/reproduce the transients well, thx!

Is it ideal to mix with channel faders at unity or have the master bus or Mains fader at unity?

@WorshipSoundGuy Ай бұрын

Ideally both! Like I talked about during the video, getting your channel faders at unity depends on getting your input gain and subgroups set up correctly, but your mains fader depends on the levels that you set on your PA system/amps. I’d turn the fader up to unity and then adjust your amp levels so that the overall volume in the room feels correct. That way you have a set point where you know you’re hitting the level that you want when your mains fader is at unity.

@freddyroy Ай бұрын

@@WorshipSoundGuy Ah Perfect, that's just the way I have been doing it. I rather have both at unity and cut the amps or speakers even at -3dB. Always felt this helps with maintaining a constant level as well as control all feedback issues! Thanks

@markwillride Ай бұрын

Thank you for the effort and quality you put into these videos to help us. Regarding gain, if the total output of a mic after preamp, processing, amp, and main speakers remains constant, can gain settings make any difference in feedback? Or asked a different way, if I turn down the gain a bit and push up the fader to get the same volume, won’t the feedback issue problem be unchanged? Isn’t the real culprit the overall amplification of the signal regardless of the combination of gain, fader, and amp power settings? If not, why can’t we get to a higher volume in a problematic room by just lowering the gain and cranking up our amp?

@WorshipSoundGuy Ай бұрын

That’s a great question, and the answer is… it depends. If you adjust gain on a channel, you’re affecting the level going in to all your channel processing (EQ, compression, gate, pre-fader effects, etc) and changing how much level you feed into that processing can absolutely change when your signal reaches feedback. On the other hand, turning up the fader is affecting the level AFTER all the channel processing which can have different results. It’s important to also remember that turning up the fader is going to raise the level of the signal going into the group/master processing that’s happening later on down the signal chain. It really has to do with what processing is happening on the channel. Theoretically, if there was no processing happening, changing the signal level at the fader or with gain would do almost the same thing, but once any processing gets added things start to change a lot.

Does a sub-mixer work the same as a sub-group? For example, I'm using a smaller mixer for the drums (due to lack of channels) and sending stereo to the main mixer. Would my output from the submixer be the same as the gain level from a subgroup?

@052RC Ай бұрын

Output is a volume control, not gain. Gain is more important to get right. It can harm the signal, where a volume control can't alter it at all. I would treat the drum mixer as a line level source on one of the main mixers channels. Also, I don't see why you would need stereo. It doesn't really apply. The 2 channels on the drum mixer should be identical, so you would only need to use 1.

@WorshipSoundGuy Ай бұрын

It’s a little different. In this particular instance, I’d treat your sub mixer as the main point to set gain for your drums, so set all your channel gains/processing appropriately, and then adjust your output from the sub mixer so that it comes into your main mixing board at an appropriate level.

Schon gewusst, mit der App Mixing Station kannst einen individuellen zusätzlichen Screen erstellen. Noch besser, du kannst dort in der App Szenen erstellen. Auch Kanal presets. Zum Beispiel bei GLD oder auch X32. Und dann diese zum Beispiel im Avantis einladen. Sprich du kannst die App für eine Migration nutzen. Funktioniert für 6 Hersteller. So musst du nicht alles von Grund auf einstellen. Noch nicht getestet. Denke funktioniert zu 90 Prozent. Das was bei den Mmeisten Mischern identisch ist, kein Problem, eher die FX Section, die von den Prozessoren Unterschiedlich sein kann, aber Unstimmigkeiten werden beim einladen in das andere Pult gemeldet. Und die Migration von GLD zu Avantis sollte kein Problem sein, anders herum könnte das rausfallen, was beim Geld nicht vorhanden ist, Kanäle 49 bis 64 zum Beispiel.

Ear damage begins to occur over 85 decibels. I was at a service where the volume was fluctuating between 100 Db & 107 Db. I brought my meter to the sound booth and showed the sound man the meter and told him it is damaging ears, and my ears were hurting. He calmly told me "I am not going to lower the volume" I had to leave. How is that walking in love? Why does it have to be so loud??? I am not talking personal preference, I am talking decibel meter readings.

@WorshipSoundGuy Ай бұрын

Ok, there’s a lot to unpack here. First, for hearing damage to occur at 85db, it would have to be an average of 85db across an 8 hour time period, so unless service goes for more than 8 hours and it’s constantly 85db, it’s going to be fine. At 92db, you can go continuously for 6 hours before any risk of damage occurs. At 95db you can go for 3 hours. This is according to OSHA regulations. Second, when making loudness measurements you want to make sure that your decibel meter is set up correctly. You want it to be set to “A-weighting” with “slow” response. Anything else is not going to give you the correct measurements. For a church service to hit 107, I’m guessing your meter was not set to these settings. I don’t mean to come across as harsh, but we have to be very careful about how we define terms like loudness and how we measure things. It’s just not as simple as “how loud did it get?”. We also have to talk about how long the exposure was for. And we have to make sure that our measurement tools are set correctly to make judgements on volume.

@kennethschweighardt4920 Ай бұрын

@@WorshipSoundGuy So you failed to report how long it takes to damage ears at 107 Db. Why?? BECAUSE YOU ARE SPINNING YOUR COMMENT TO APPEAR CORRECT. I'll take a wild guess you are a demoncrat and are going to vote Kamala. None of the readings matter when your ears are physically hurting. My question remains which you so 'conveniently' ignored: How is it walking in love if your volume level causes me pain, and I make you aware of it and you say in essence: "I do not care what I am doing is painfully hurting you".

Channel strip eq is a gain adjustment. The further up the faded is pushed , the brighter and more mids we get , so never eq at a lower fader volume , and expect it to be the same when you push the fader up louder.

@052RC Ай бұрын

A volume control is a passive device. It can't alter the signal, just attenuate it. If the signal is changing in some way, its not a volume control or something else is going on in the system. Channel faders are typically volume, not gain.

Lots of good here. I've always valued having eyes and ears on our services by a high performance team of Music Director, Choir Director, Band or instrument leader, and Audio Ministry team. This doesn't always mean an advanced degreed person or persons. But it does mean that the team is competent and always pursuing a truer and better mix. All have a say, and debrief and then carry forward any lessons learned. Good audio techs will double down on the appropriate mix (which you've also addressed). Anyone participating in the worship experience (including the congregation) really should be sensitive to things contributing to worship. That includes attitude (which you've addressed well). What one person likes may not be what another loves. Spiritual maturity needs to prevail. It also includes remaining sensitive to (as you said) how the service changes from moment to moment so that balance of insturment/voices accompaniment/punctuation requires monitoring. In this way warranted adjustments create unified expressions, coherently ebbing and flowing. When one aspect fails to honor the contribution of the other, too loud, or even to soft, slow or other can be the result. I appreciate your observations on how to handle when that 'sometimes' shows up as a complaint when there's nothing the audio team can do.

Bin sehr zufrieden. Einziger Knackpunkt, sind die Softkeys, die man manuell beschriften muss. Kann sich doch keine merken. Vor allem wenn das Update kommt, das gerade neu bei der dLive Serie herausgekommen ist. Habe den Vorschlag gemacht dass man das über eine. App Oberfläche realisiert. Mit der Controller App kann man das teilweise Umsetzen. Dort sind aber nicht alle Möglichkeiten implementiert. Und da man das Manuell erstellen muss, gehen Änderungen nicht Synchron. Muss alles Manuel gemacht werden. Kennst du die Mixing Station App. Die ist besser als die A&H App. Da kannst du deine Oberflächen frei konfigurieren. Leider sind da auch noch nicht die Softkeys implementiert. Im Update kommen Actions, heißt eine frei Programmierbare Funktion. Zum Beispiel Talkback einzeln oder Band die man auf Softkeys legen kann. Ist Praktisch dann eine Szene die man Punktuell benutzt. Oder Umschaltung Probe, und Live.Hoffe das Update kommt dieses Jahr noch.😊. Gruß aus dem alten Deutschland.

I have a huge issue at our small church 😢 if I set the gain input level to hit a solid -18 the volume is extremely loud in very small changes on the fader. It’s so frustrating. Because I can’t even move the fader to the -10 db mark. I’m below that if my gain is hitting -18 db. This happens especially on the multitrack that we use. We don’t have guitar players so we use multitrack but yeah that’s my problem. I don’t know if I explained myself properly but help me! Haha thanks for the great video!

I am a bass player running sound for the band on performances with no provided sound. This is helpful as I use a Soundcraft 24r w/Ipad to mix. I have a problem with boominess from the bass and bass drum. I am guilty of lowering the faders to balance the volume in the room. Just getting into the sub mix as a tool! Thank you! Question, how can I combat boominess on the bass to get a clear sound? I set the gain, then the fader is always low before to boom stats, so I lower the fader and use the HPF to roll off at 100 HZs to lower the boom!

@PanRider939 4 ай бұрын

You don't really want too much HPF on the bass or the Kick if any, that's where they live. Try EQ'ing your room first. You'll need a reference mic, like the behringer EM3000, I bought my own for the purpose. You'll find a tutorial somewhere. You'll also need a source of pink noise if your console doesn't have it's own. See how it looks/sounds and EQ accordingly. That way you are not EQ'ing everything to solve a problem in your room and chasing your tail. Then everything that doesn't belong in the SUB, HPF up to the cross over frequency usually about 125Hz as everything has some amount of low in it. ESPECIALLY the vocal mics bring the HPF up to 150-200hz (men-ladies). What's contributing to your boominess is all of those open mics. Even on the drum kit there are pieces that don't have any low frequency like your snare and overheads for the cymbals, but they're picking stuff up stuff they've no business and sending it out, re-amplifying the low end, subtle but it all adds up. Cut 125hz out of your Acoustic guitar keep it bright, out of the sub and leave space for the bass and kick. Your low end will clean up immensely without blaming the bass and the kick drum 😀. Have fun.

Does anyone consider that the music IS TOO Quiet? Turn it down and ask those if they would like it louder. Why are church leaders asked to turn it down? Maybe because it is too loud. Let’s start low and work our way up. Let those who can’t “feel” the music be those asking for more volume. Most KZbin seem to be on the “ it is fine” program. Someone should honestly come out with a KZbin about the music being too quiet. I don’t need to “ feel the music” I need to participate with the music not compete with it

I always maintain proper gain levels start before the signal even leaves the stage. No point setting gain level on a singer holding the mic 2feet away and singing like a sparrow. Why would I set gain on a keyboard that the output level is only at 25%. Rule 1 get the best possible source, takes time and trust. Rule 2 then set gain. Gain staging starts on the stage. So I spend a third of my setup time on the stage with my tablet in hand, getting my team bedded in. I’ll get them to turn up their level, keyboard, guitar, bass, (they all do now) or get their nose on the microphone, and let them see me altering gain. The team see me working with them not against them and it fills them with confidence they relax. Secretly I’m teaching them how it all fits together. Then I have what I need, I leave them to set their own monitor mix and rehearse. I get on with my bit. They get compliments on the worship, they’re giving me a smile and a thumbs up as they leave. We don’t have a tech team. The sound engineer is listed on the worship team. Ok bottom of the list but somebody has to be. 😂
