Many thanks for the detailed info, we are shanty/ Irish band with our own P.A to set up, never find enough time to carry out a proper sound check of the venue, this video gives us a clearer picture of what we need to do, time to crack the whip. keep the videos coming they are a great help.

When can we expect the mics for live setting video? This is terrific content really!

Good video mate. I just bought a new house with a big den for jamming and the feedback is crazy. If speaker placement isnt doing the trick would you reccomend higher vocal compression? My guitarist tells me its the way the house is made and the metal behind the walls is causing bad reverberation. I may have to buy sound proof foam.

Thank you Abut Gain in Digital mixer.. help me and change my music .

Super explain

Great video. Thanks!

great information! would love to see a video on how to connect the hardware graphic EQ to one of those small mixers. Thank you!

These video is very nice i love very much ❤ . These video also helps for the Biguners, its very clearly explained. Thank you so much sir , can u upload more videos related to sound 😊

Sounded like a good idea then after 2 videos …… nothing ! Shame

great info

Great video, Brother! Very nice presentation.

Just found this video accidentally…this is very useful video..and so i hit the botton subscribed..

Excellent, just excellent. Thank you!

Yes yes sir

Nice

Great video brother

Is your intro on Spotify? its fire just busted out a little boogie

Waiting for further videos ❤

I stumbled upon your video and this was absolutely great information. I subscribed halfway through once I realized how great you were and providing information. Thank you so much!

thanks for all the great info.

Just amazing ! Thanks lot !

I was watching because in my last gig, I had someone speaking and I couldnt get my volume high enough without feed back. In watching this video, I think my lows were too mixer highs, mids and especially the lows will too high. I will try it out at my next gig. Also with people speaking, it is hard to get them to talk into the microphone properly causing me to turn up the gain and volume. I'm using a dynamic microphone (Shure SM58), would a different microphone be better in a live event?

This is a good instructional video, easy to understand, but that background music is so distracting, you dont need it, this is not MTV, please re-upload this video minus the background music. Thank you. i'm a subscriber.

This was a Gold Mine Of information for a lot of Musicians learning to mix live sound, Great video bro. 🔥🔥🔥 PS: Just make sure to drop the background music when doing those sound checks.👊

this was great , thank u so much really helped. Can u do a vid for Dis and setting our levels

Goldmine of must-have live sound info. So many musicians don't understand these concepts. Subbed.

Thanks for this, i really dont think you need the background music at all in my opinion, or have it really really low in general. Its useful content and I found it distracting. Keep it up thankyou!

Great video but lose the background music. When you were doing the microphone test at around 5.40 it wasnt helping.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Great video, please post more about this topic

I watched your video just now after having mic volume trouble at my gig last night. After watching your video, i discovered that the PAD button on my mic channel had inadvrtently been pressed, im assuming when i was packing it to take to the gig. The PAD button isnt the easiest to see and i didnt realise that this is its function. So that explained why i had to turn my mic volume on the mixer ridiculously high to get a decent level of sound! Got my mixer out after watching your video and spotted it immediately! Problem solved thanks to your video! Have subscribed and looking forward to more tips. Many thanks.

Thanks, nicely explained and in line with the way i set up. Just need to get the rest of the band on board to understand gain ! I have subscribed and look forward to further videos.

Sorry but have to criticise you set up process. Setting up your system and having already set your amplifiers whether in your mixing desk, stand alone, or contained within the speaker cab itself to 0db (unity) before having established all of your input and output levels on your mixing desk is just asking for trouble (usually the loud screaming trouble from your speakers that makes you want to drink bleach). Unless you really know the venue (especially if it's a small venue) Turn your amps right down (whether in your mixer, stand alone, or in speaker). Set each and all of your input channel gains (with EQ flat) and then and only then, using one on stage microphone. Bring your main outputs up to unity (hopefully no sound from your PA, good thing, if you've got noise then bad thing) Bring microphone (slowly....) up to unity. Then! assuming you have no squeaky squeally sounds, gently increase the gain of your amplifier(s) until you start to hear the microphone "feedback". IMPORTANT! The feedback frequency may not necessarily be a high pitch/note, it may well be a low end rumble/boom. What you will hear is if you hold the amplifier gain steady that the feedback tone will start to increase in level. When this occurs pull the microphone down fully. All things being equal your feedback will disappear. You now have a good idea of at what point your system goes into feedback. If your PA is going into feedback before you've made any real change to the input gain of your amps then you're using way to big amps/speakers for the gig. Conversely if you're running your amps flat out and still not pushing the system into feedback you may well struggle during the gig itself. However the important factor is knowing where and when your system starts to feed back. From that point you can start using techniques such as Speaker placement, Changing Mic types, System and Input channel EQ as an aid to help you get a few more db in level out of your system. IMPORTANT POINT Every venue has a point at which you can make a microphone on stage feedback. If it's an arena sized venue you'll need a lot of amps and speakers but there will be a point you can make the mic feed back. If it's a pub sized gig then that feedback point is going to take a much lower number of speaker power to achieve and regardless of how much you spend on the quality of kit at your disposal, You will hit Feedback it's about how you avoid getting there too soon, but get there you will

Nice clearly presented information, look forward to seeing further content on more advanced themes. 👍

Most valuable part of this based on what I've observed out int he wild is - "don't use guitar cable from powered PA to speakers" . Nice video; I look forward to the next ones

Brilliant video! This is just the guide I’ve been looking for - simple, clearly explained and very useful!! Thank you ☺️
