Something I discovered when recording from the USB to Audacity that people might find useful. As you said, the PC recognises the USB audio as "microphone". As a result, Windows is set to record in mono. If Audacity is set to record in stereo this causes both Audacity channels to have the same content as only one of the channels coming from the mixer. The result is that one of the channels is entirely missing - not always easy to pick because the channel that is recorded is sent to both Audacity channels. The solution is to right click over the speaker icon on the PC (by the system clock), select "Sounds", go to the recording tab, right-click over the USB Audio CODEC, select "Properties", go to the "Advanced" tab, in the "Default Format" section make sure the dropdown menu is set to "2 channel 16-bit 44100Hz". I hope that helps somebody.

Is it possible to listen to an input (on mixer headphones) from the computer whilst also recording from the mixer back to the computer. For example listening to a click track being played from a DAW on the PC whilst recording on a separate track on the DAW a guitar plugged into the mixer. It is important to not get the click track recording back with the guitar. I have struggled with this one for some time now. Many thanks.

Hi, thank you so much. I watched all your three presentations in one go. It is very informative. I was trying to get some ideas about our Allen and Heath ZED 428. I was trying to get some answers about how to export sounds (Mics (voice) and electric Organs) into a Behringer UM2. After watching your presentations, I don't think I need the Behringer. However, the reason why I want to get the Behringer, is because of having the microphone and electric organs feed to my laptop for connecting to Zoom broadcasting or communication software. I presume that 2trk Out will be the right connection to export the sound. and I presume that Main out will also do the job as well. Thank you.

Hi, wow you are a pro in doing these reviews. Detailed! I have a newbie question. I have a relatively neutral amp, acoustic image double shot with a Clarus SL head. I'd like to use this at home, and at live locations, to do small performances, with a double bass, mic, es339, and synth. I want to very much protect this amp so it looks like I bought the wrong one (zed 10 FX without the mutes) Bummer. Any tips how I can mitigate? And the true newbie question, I don't understand the Main Mix Inserts. I put a jack from here to my lowz/highz input on my Clarus amp. I could see that the main volumes are now completely bypassed. The channel becomes a master on its own in effect. I guess I am doing something very wrong there, but it was a much stronger signal, less feedback on the amp. Less gain needed. Can you help with some basics for me on these two channels? And I guess you suggest "use the aux" for this amp? Thanks a million.
@GLBProductions2 жыл бұрын
You can simulate the effect of the mute switch by just turning the volume knob all the way down - either the individual channel or the main mix level. The main mix inserts are basically an input and output combined into one connector, and need to be used with a particular type of cable called an insert cable - I have a video about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3JaZ2OfNl5btk Have a look at that video and see if it answers your questions 😄

I'd like to reiterate what others have said here: nothing but great tutorial, explained clearly slowly and in detail. Sadly this has taught me what I didnt want to hear - my ZED10 is a wasted purchase! From your USB section, am I right in understanding.... if I have a synth connected to ST2 this will disable USB audio from PC, because you mentioned the playback fader has to be zeroed. So, Id have to connect the synth to the playback analogue inputs so that the USB then come in on ST2 channel? If so, this is NUTS!
@GLBProductions4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! It goes like this: - If there is something connected to the ST2 analog inputs the USB signal will appear at the playback fader (knob in the case of your ZED10). - If there is something connected to the playback in ANALOG inputs the USB signal will appear at the ST2 channel. - If both ST2 and playback in ANALOG inputs are used, the USB signal goes NOWHERE. - The analog inputs always override the USB input. - No combination of the above will 'disable' the USB audio - it will just not be routed to any of the channels. The outgoing USB audio will still function. - So, if your synth is connected to ST2, the USB signal will still be available at the playback knob - this is how the mixer is designed to operate 😊

There ARE some mixers where the USB signal is returned a a completely separate input, sometimes just a knob going to the main mix and nowhere else. I'm not sure but I suspect the reason in this case is to give the user maximum flexibility in the smallest possible package - you have a full-featured input that can be used for either analog or USB, without having to lengthen the mixer's chassis. Even with 5 synths hooked up you can still monitor the incoming USB signal through the headphones or monitor outs by pressing the playback button under the 'phones select' section - so perhaps that has solved your problem 😉

For the second aux using the FX channel, this is post-fade as you mentioned. Do you have any tips on how to use this as a monitor? We have this mixer and I would prefer two pre-fade aux but I need to work with what we have.
@GLBProductions Жыл бұрын
The big problem with using a post-fader aux send for monitors is that the monitor mix and level will change as you move the faders, which can be very frustrating for musicians and singers. If you also need to use the mixer's internal FX, this idea is a non-starter in my opinion. It may be a better idea to try and modify your stage setup to work with just a single monitor mix containing just the vocals. On the other hand, if your set up does not entail much fader movement, it could work fine.
@echan101 Жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for the advice! I will ask what their normal set up is. I am definitely used to pre-fade aux for monitor wedges.

Chances are the issue is in your 'phones select' section - make sure that all the switches are in the up position, and that none of the 'listen' buttons on the channels are pressed.

@@GLBProductions With all of the switches up, and listen buttons up, I get nothing in the headphones unless the main mix is turned up. Is'nt there a way to hear the headphones without the main turned up?
@GLBProductions3 жыл бұрын
That's the point of having the listen (aka PFL) buttons - they allow you to listen to the channel even with the level down. Unfortunately they sum to stereo channels to mono. If you need to monitor in stereo with the channel and/or main mix level(s) down, then you should monitor off the record bus instead. It's also worth mentioning that the 'normal' recording setup for a mixer like this is to connect your studio monitors to the MONITOR OUT bus, and connect your recorder to either the main mix outputs or the RECORD OUT bus.

When using the Aux for stage monitors, how can you have EQ control? I EQ my channels and the main front of house sounds great but the stage wedges don’t retain any of the EQ settings. Also, are the main outputs and the aux identical? I feel like my stage monitors are weaker when coming from the aux. My four monitors are all identical models so it seems like the aux changes the sound being monitored.
@GLBProductions5 жыл бұрын
That depends on the mixer - on some mixers the EQ control affects the aux sends as well. If this is not the case with yours you need to add a graphic or parametric EQ between the mixer and the monitors. The main outputs and aux outputs may or may not be identical - it depends on the mixer. One some the main outputs are transformer balanced whilst the aux outputs are only impedance balanced.

This mixer has no dedicated loopback mode - using the same computer to do recording and playback simultaneously can result in feedback.

Fantastic videos my friend. I hope you don't think that this is a silly question, its just that I'm a newbie to all this, and all I want to do is to play backing tracks from my ipad through the mixer, and sing to them direct into my android phone on live stream. At the moment, I'm going out from the main outputs with the appropriate lead into my phone. Is that the right thing to do ?, and also, how would you suggest I go into my mixer with my backing tracks for the best results. I own the Zed sixty 10fx by the way. Thanks in advance.
@GLBProductions2 жыл бұрын
Hi there Pete, nice to hear from you 😊 The alternative to your current setup would be to connect to your phone using the USB output, but I'm not sure if they mixer is compatible with Android devices and you seem to have a setup that works for you. I would connect your iPad using ST1 or ST2. You could also connect that via the USB input, if you prefer.
@Pete7Davies2 жыл бұрын
@@GLBProductions Thanks very much for your reply. Yes I agree regarding usb, but the problem I'm having with that, is that when I play the backing track into the mixer from the ipad, and I sing along to it live on facebook, when I listen back to the track, the backing music is only playing through one side of my headphones, my voice comes through both ok, but not the track.

It sounds like there is some compatibility issue there, in which case you can continue using an analog connection for the iPad.

@GLBProductions2 жыл бұрын
One thing you can experiment with is using a laptop in place of one of your devices. Given the age of the design, I suspect that the USB interface on the ZED series is optimised for this type of device rather than for phones/tablets. You can also try different USB cables. All the best with your music!
@morten15 жыл бұрын
So, if I don't use the USB plug at all, and I use the analogue "playback in" plugs.. Will that be the same as connecting to the ST2 channel? And/or will the "playback" fader still work for that? Other question: Is the "monitor out" signal post-fader?
@GLBProductions5 жыл бұрын
If you connect to just the playback in analog sockets, without anything else connected to the mixer, the signal will appear on BOTH the ST2 and the playback fader, so you can choose which one to use. Yes monitor out is post fader when set to the 'mix' position.

Hello! First of all, thank you very much for all your training videos, they’ve helped me a lot! I need to buy a mixer for live streaming and I have two questions that I wonder if you can help me with: 1) When using the USB output connected to a PC, can I control the volume through the faders (each channel and the master)? I ask that because I saw that mixers like Yamaha MG12XU and Mackie ProFX12v3 don't allow you to control the output volume through faders when using the USB connection. 2) I can't decide which mixer to buy: the Allen & Heath ZED60-14FX or the Soundcraft Signature 12. Do you have any suggestion about it? Again, thanks a lot for all your help!
@GLBProductions Жыл бұрын
Hello Felipe and thanks for watching :) I don't recommend either of these mixers for live streaming - they are relatively old designs and the USB interface is designed more for utility work such as playback of background music and simple 2-track recording. There are many mixers today that are specifically designed for livestreaming such as the Yamaha AG series and the Mackie DLZ - I suggest you take a look at those instead.

That's correct - the way to solve this problem is to set the USB source to the record bus, which will prevent the playback from being sent back to the recorder.
