After using the same analog board for 15 years, this has been very helpful for transitioning.

Sir your content is amazing, thanks a lot sir

Great information, The lip smacking is a bit annoying. 😊

Superb production quality

Great video, im still trying to get my head around doing all this at a wedding. Minefield.

How do you get up to 48 channels IN on an SQ5? Would that only be achievable with a stage box? Also, if you had a stage box would those inputs be added on top of the inputs on the back of the console?

Great video Sir. Can I use this with CQ18T? Your response will be appreciated Sir.

Is it possible to send a DCA to other mixes and not only Main LR

I’ve used X32 for 10years. This is a very good introduction for those moving across or coming to sound for the first time, worth watching a couple of times. Highly recommended.

Hello There, can you do a video on naming channels and colours coding them? Thanks for your hard work.

Great discussion.

Been there done that. What I hate when there is a faux pas, they draw attention to it by making some comment rather than just carrying on as if nothing really happened. “Aah I’m back, you can hear me” (because the sound engineer stuffed up).

Awesome break down. Thanks for making the use of compression so understandable.

Very helpful

We love to use them for DJs on festivals. Stereo Out into 2 channels. 1 channel for the Cue/Monitor Out from the Pioneer Desk itself and one with reversed adapter as output for the onstage monitor.

Can these be used with an analog mixer to send signal direct to a ethernet port on my Mac/Logic Pro?

I have been a live sound engineer for 15 years and I have never believed into an "average" level, especially when it comes to a singer. Levels from a singer can be dramatically dinamyc at times and I always trusted my ears instead of a meete. Plus using 45db of gain in a live music scenario it will only gives you troubles, especially if you are mixing monitors from front of house. I'd rather have a quiter gain instead of feedbacks. It's a good video, but to me it's very theorical and not very practical.

140 HPF Shelf 268 hz -5DB 470hz -7db medium Q 980hz -5DB 1.9khz -5DB 5khz +2DB That’s my male vocal very generic very useful

Hey, i do all of this but then when i go to the group the insert option doesnt come up! Any ideas on why? thanks

Watchout also microphones that are sensitive when pronuouncing the letter 'S' so much treble.

this is the best video i have found on youtube about this topic than you

By looking at the numbers, your HD video got more views compared to your 4k video.

Yes, you're right - there's no visible difference between your 4k and HD videos.

Hi, we recently installed an SQ5 in our Church. I’ve been doing sound tech for a while here and there. When the guys came in to install the mixer I asked if we should turn down the level of the sends to the front of house to allow for what you’re talk about in this video but they said no. This means my signal for most things is quite low but they’re loud as. What should I do?

TLDR: It is DEFINITELY worth it to render 1080 footage in 4K and upload in 4K. The playback is much higher quality with the 4K setting on, regardless of screen resolution. Full explanation: I have a 1080 monitor. I opened both videos in separate tabs, selected 1080p for both, paused the video at the start, skipped to 1:00 using the arrow keys, and then switched between tabs using ctrl + tab number to compare. The difference when both are in 1080p is small, but noticeable. The details of the 4K version are slightly sharper, such as the North Face logo, shirt color seams, beard hair, and some other skin features. However, the 4K version actually has some potentially undesirable smoothness in 1080p, such as the large areas of shirt color or the couch cushions, where it can look a bit blurrier. I think it likely looks nicer in motion though. The REAL difference is when you play the 4K version in 4K and the 1080 version in 1080. There is absolutely no contest. The 4K version is leagues better than the 1080 version. Every single detail in the video is sharper, the colors are richer and less blurry, and all textures are more clear. Easy comparison points are the eyes, beard, fingers, couch cushions, North Face Logo, and t-shirt. The background is relatively equal. For this secondary comparison alone, it is absolutely worth it to render a 1080 video in 4K and upload it as such. I also just did some localized testing, and I found that in Premiere Pro at least, rendering a 1080 sequence in 4K got me BETTER quality results than putting 1080 footage in a 4K sequence and rendering in 4K. This was true regardless of if I used set to frame size or scale to frame size in the 4K sequence. I also found that Hardware encoding provided better results than software encoding, at least with the H.265 encoder. These comparisons were done with bitrate and all other settings the same and by screenshotting full screen images from the same time in each render and zooming in with a photo editing program to compare fine details and textures. Just thought I'd share. Thanks for the comparison videos!

Thumbs up! Is this 12dB gain settings is also good for vocal recordings in Pro Tools? Thanks

1 request sir.. can u please make a proper video describing the actual difference between a GAIN & TRIM on a digital mixer.. please... Will be waiting. Thanx a tonn🌹🌹😇🥂🙏

Whooooo... Great video indeed... Have seen many videos related to compressor.. bt this one is the best i should say.. thank u sooo very much for the video sir... Wil be eagerly waiting for some more videos like these.. thnx a lottt..

Thank you very much for the useful tips especially those about the time management. Keep up wit those.

Can I use this for a DiGiCo S21? And, if not, wich 8 inputs audio rack can use for this mixer?

I think you're wrong about the cable shielding. There can't be any interference in the XLR signal; the interference is canceled out in the sum of the signals. In fact, a shielded cable is necessary because it uses it as ground. If it's not shielded, only 3 pairs can be used; one will be used as GND.

Thank you so much sir for your packaged information.

Can u explain how to control the amount of dry signal when I insert a reverb to a group ? U mentioned about the FX send but it doesn’t mean I still get my dry signal right? What about using Fx bus and what’s then send fader doing? Is it just acting like a master level for all signals that are sent to the Fx bus, basically like a DCA? Thanks 🙏🏻

the video is good but the Live training banner is kind off hiding some parts when the camera is changed. it would have been better if it was smaller or at all removed and just add a small badge to the top right something like that.

I like this thingy so much that now I have two of them. I have other recorders as well, and they are all amazing. But it is my go-to in most sitiatuations when I need a lav or want to have a remote microphone. Super handy.

Currently headed to a resort as a breakout floater. Operating a Roland XS84H and this mixer. Thank you so much for the run down 😭 y’all wish me luck lol

Good video. When I adjust gain to as high as 40, this induces feedback. But if I need that gain to achieve the right signal strength, what else could I do to get the level I need?

It’s super clear but i lose you once you talk about when to use which. I assumed that changing your mix for main L/R bus doesn’t influence any of your aux busses. But why would setting an input channel to post fader mean that changing your main L/R bus mix would also change any of the other busses?

Excellent video tutorial. I am learning a lot from you. Thanks a bunch. This mixer is very amazing, for it is highly customizable. I know that most of your tutorials applies to live events, however I can still relate to them even though I only use my SQ-5 in my recording studio.

can you do a video on how to use the compressor as a limiter and how to add a second compression on to the matrix if that is possible.

The extra FX Returns are for if you want more than 4 FX Units as you can setup an AUX to be and FX Send. Just depends on how many Busses and Axes you need for your show. The use case would be if you did a FOH/ Monitor split system where you don't need to use your Auxes for wedges or IEMs at FOH as you have a dedicated monitor console to do all of that. So you could setup a layout where you can run 8 FX Send & Returns & 8 Sub groups if you want if the console is only doing FOH only.

I am now in another church setting and bought a different brand of them via Amazon this week. I have opened them up and they use XLR connectors soldered directly onto the PCB. This makes swapping the connectors over much more difficult as the holes on the Female connector sit in a different location than the Male connector. So my advice is, if you are planning on doing a modification to these to switch one or more end points, go for the SSSnake ones, as otherwise you may find your can't do it easily if at all. I am sure the units I bought are fine if you just want a drop snake you don't want to mod. The ones I bought are these: Copkim 2 Pack 4 Channel 3 Pin Multi Network XLR Cable.

Are we able to get a channel plot sheet template

Good sir

Drum

but can explain Effects and Fx and also where and when to apply them

thanks so much for making these videos it helps alot. very easy and simple to understand. keep it up

Thank you for this video! So helpful. I love filming with the BMPCC, and will definitely add a grey card to the kit, thanks again!
