Thank you for doing this.

Thanks for your videos. I learned so much from them. Cheers!!

Hey - that was a very clever and useful approach to this install. Thanks for your creativity!

Your video was the first video that made since, thank you for keeping it simple for us dummies

Excellent review. I can tell you have great ears

Wow I was completely about to give up on the presonus until I landed here, how can one ever thank you enough for this well worthed tutorial, so excellently made and explained, Thank you so so so much, I'm on to part 5 now, I hope you can help me with these 2 questions I have, you mention about rising up your speakers levels to distorting and then pulling back, but when a venue or bar has people in the very last thing I want to do is blow their ear drums out, how do i get round this, is it by keeping the main fader on the desk down, no that don't make sense do it I'm cutting the sound then going to my speakers, and then what about setting up my active subs levels, 🤔 also with regards to plugging your guitar directly into the desk is this not right and should it go through a di box first, I've plugged my keyboards directly and they sound perfect but my electric guitar and acoustic don't, and finally adding reverb and delay to my guitar channel how can I do this, I have my vocal reverb and delay set to sub 3 and 4, but last night I seem to have my reverb riding along the main also and can't take it out of here, I'm learning, I'll get there eventually, but your videos so far I'm taking notes to put into practice later, but seriously thanks for this amazing amazing free tutorial, patron saint of the presonus digital desk, also finally where do I get to find your cheat sheet on setting up my individual instruments and vocals etc, ✨👍

Thank you

You the man. Thank you for your service. SL is a remarkable machine, helper! Not as if learning a DAW app wasn't enough. ; )

I dnt know how to use this will it work to my LPC007?

How do u. Take. Off. The. Gr. Signal. Lite. Off

Sir, do you know if on a 16.0.2 USB there is a way to NOT route a channel to the Main output bus? Most mixers have channel routing buttons. But I don't see, unless I'm missing something. Was hoping buried in UC but not that I can tell. This is a major design flaw if no way to change.

Hello Sorry but I have this picture on page 4. Why ? On FX

Hi Derek, I know its been a few years since you did this tutorial, but I only recently bought a 2nd hand presonus 16:4:2 mixer and honestly it's mainly because of your amazing well put together videos I was able to perform 1st night with this desk, I'm completely new to the digital world of mixers, also with in relation to powered speakers namely the RCF 935a's under which I have the Behringer B1500xp's subs, latest gig my mic was constantly whistling when trying to get my vocal above the backing tracks, in this video tutorial you mentioned a very important point on matching the powered tops to the desk, I normally have them set about 12 o clock position but last night this setting certainly did not suit the venue, I brought them to 2 o clock made a difference but still mic was constant feedback when I try to boost the level fader, these RCF's are very powerful but where was I going wrong, as I said I do sing and play with backing tracks but I was forcing myself vocally, my speakers were definately not set right also backing tracks were over dominating, For my tracks from my ipad I'm using 2 channels on the desk and I used a bright piano preset to work from as there's no preset on the desk for tracks, I just used it as a starting point, I hope you will give me some insight as to where I may be going wrong here, also the Eq sheet you put together where will I find this to print off, well done on your super tutorials here, I'll have to bring my desk in house and follow as you go through all your chapters on this super desk, await your reply and thanks

12 years later... yes, I still use CDs

Very helpful. Thanks. I used the board for 2 years as FoH for a popular local wedding band, but I did't own and did not set up. Now have my own and trying to figure out routing. did hit that subscribe button for your efforts.

I have no echo or delay on microphone please help

Thank you! I dumpster dived @ my church's junk removal work day and found this type of system. The manual was as uninformative as you said. Great video!

Great video tutorial. I just bought this mixer and trying to get round to it. How can I send to the stage monitor(aux1) the soundtrack coming from my pc through Tape in, from the back of the mixer where my pc is connected?

I've been dropping back into this guys videos on the 1642 for the last 10 years. A massive thank you! The videos are fantastic

great video, descriptive yet short, sweet, and to the point without extra dialog and fluff. Well done

I have the Presonus 24.4.2 Mixer, I'm missing something, I've been working on this mixer for 3 weeks and my basic understanding is pretty good now, My question is, Is there a way to use the fat channel to eq individual channels in the AUX"s, What my problem is my Aux mix is Aux 1, If I EQ my mic to sound good everybody elses mics are muddy, if I adjust the EQ on everybody elses Mics and make them sound good my mic flips out, it starts squealing, high pitch uncontrollable feed back, If I compromise the eq settings the whole systems sounds pretty bad, If I could just EQ my mic in the Auxes I think I could fix it, HELP

Thank you 🙏

Cool VDOs. Thanks so much 4 charing them. I have watched the entire tutorial more then once and still learning a new step every time. Very well explained.

SM58 sounded amazing 30 years ago...but since then there are so many Mics that way miles superior. Yeah... all the overblown hype about sm58 being tough after being abused for many years and still works; I can say the same about many Mics too. All my Mics made by Sennheiser, AKG and many other brands still work even after so many years of abuse....so pls stop all the overblown hype about sm58 being so tough cos so many Mics are equally tough!

She look like she about to go to Christmas Convocation lolololol

Thank you so much!!

Nevermind I got it you broke it down lol

I know this is old I just recently purchased a 24.4.2 mixer I wanted to get it brand new but it's already discontinued I can't figure out the the rest of the Auxes like when I connect mic number 3 I tried to link aux 5 and 6 for mic 3 but I can hear the instrumental when I hit the mix in flip mode but I can't hear the microphone I can only hear the mic coming out of the monitors again I know this is old maybe you got an answer I tried to check everything also I can hear mic 2 in aux 1 and 2 but I can't hear mic 2 in aux 3 and 4 and I can hear mic 1 in aux 1 and 2 both mics 1 and 2 can be heard in aux 1 and 2.

Fantabulous! Thank you!

Still (or especially) useful information many years later! Thank you!

Hello i dont have the aux assign setting on my mixer? How do i route the effects for my aux mix.

Hi, is the firmware of your SL 16.4.2 updated? I couldn't find that (fx page 4)-aux route settings in my SL. My SL firmware is 1.50a, build 190

If you have a bad singer, NO mic will hide it lol. To say a bad singer's flaws will be hidden with certain types of mics is just not true. Some mics have more clarity than others, sure, but no mic will hide the faults of a bad singer.

i have some microphone bt idont no how works i order for sien

God this is still hilarious

awesome videos thank you so so much keep them coming! I like when you clearly and slowly show and explain where a button is and what it does.

alot of ums and ahs and uhh...

Really cool dude. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I’m finding it very helpful.

super helpful!

I don’t have that page 4 on the fx menu, help. Is my PreSonus too old or does it need an update or something ?

And to add...there are guys that have more high- tech videos than you but your still are the most precise and helpful very easy to understand and follow

TEN years later and this video has helped me beyond words..I purchased a used board hadn't a clue where to get started!

God bless your soul bro for taking the time to help me here! Thank you very much!

How to turn up tape source into an aux output

I have no presets in my board, how can i get them?

I have owned a set of K12's for 6 years, ive ran them in multiple venues and settings, i owned a set of EV's prior to and the QSC's have passed up the EV's. The EV's were ok, but nowhere near my K-12's. Now im running 2 JBL 835w's. Plus a Jbl 828sp

Our sound guy relocated so these video trainings have been great in 2020.

I have a presonus studio live mixer 24.4.2, I use it as an audio interface but for recording (DAW studio one 5 ) the gain is too small and the wavesform are thin. can I use PreSonus Studio Channel Mic Tube PreAmp to solve the problem, and can I cause noise when using it. thank you for the help

How do we get a copy of the cheat sheet? My email is [email protected]

Your the Man!!!
