This helps so much! Thank you! Have a Happy and Blessed New Year!

[@foursquarecommunitychurch9195]

I am loving this dive into series III mixers

[@lovgren777]

Outstanding video and content on the Presonus mixers and UC Surface. You're a big help.

[@Life4deathmusic]

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful!

[@Its_Kaleb_]

Just got a StudioLive Series III for my church, so very happy you’re doing this series. Also been watching some of your guides for mixing instruments. Do you have a guide for mixing an electronic drum set, where you can’t necessarily mix the individual drums on separate channels? Any recommendations on which drum to split from the rest (eg, kick on left channel, rest of the kit on right), or to keep all combined?

[@cosmosmusic802]

This is very clear and helpful. Working with a SL32 and with an SLR32 as a stagebox, I've been struggling trying to understand that mixes are being sent to the stagebox as Aux sends (Mix 1 = Aux Send 1.... Mix n = Aux Send n). This seems basic, but yours is the first video I've found that confirms this.

[@SeanMontemayor]

Great vid! I'll probably need to watch it a few times though!

[@ifeanyinelson6043]

Hi. We just purchased the 32SX for our church and it’s been great. I’d like to find out how I can route the FOH through a matrix output.

[@RobertPeavieJr]

Love your videos. Can you please do a video on SD card recording, playback through mixer and how to then save/copy those settings to the mixer for future performance?

[@AttawayAudio]

That one's coming in a few weeks... good thing you're subscribed 🤣🤣

[@guidokstworshipmusic]

Nice video Thank you very much. Is it possible to apply this process in mixing ⁉️ Like analog summing ⁉️ Thank you

[@CaptRobCT]

How can I route my AUX/Mix via AVB to my stage box? Do you have a video that covers that? Otherwise this was very helpful. Thanks!

[@roberthunter124]

very helpful - well designed teaching - thanks

[@AttawayAudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Alex_Martz]

Hi, but if you assign channels to a subgroup, that subgroup to the main mix, and also the same input channels straight to the stereo mix bus at the same time that will cause phasing issues due to the extra delay of the processing bus, or is it already delay compensated?... what's the latency for each extra bus assignment?, On DiGiCo is 14 samples of delay

[@Racinjason1000]

I'm thinking about buying this for my recording studio. I'm still researching it. I'm sure I will have some questions later.

[@alexChook]

We use the Studiolive 32SX. Is there a way to get the master fader to control the volume of the subwoofer AUX bus?

[@mattminikus4603]

Would you know how to incorporate external hardware FX? I’m having a terrible time trying to use a SPL Deeseer. I keep getting squeals.

[@thierrysooprayen9334]

Hi there ,do you know a way to "loopback" audio back to a DAW on the series 3 plz? For example ,i use Superior Drummer multi out.i'm trying to route kick,snare etc to individual channel on the mixer and send all those individual channels back to my DAW to record as audio track.Presonus customer care could not help me 😅

[@aerojoea]

Is it possible to send the FlexMix in Aux mode to FX A-D to add reverb to it before sending it to a dedicated monitor wedge?

[@uavhonamphaga5523]

HI I just got StudioLive 32sx and i am trying to do ourboard mix. how do i record this outboard mix to SD card as a final L-R mix? I tried selecting Main L and R on the live recording section but it does not send any levels on what i record

[@luisfreddysperezruiz9094]

when you mixing using subgroups like for vocal, the fx go over subgroups or go direct to the main mix ??

[@kennynyc15153]

i bought a studiolive32s and never was able to use sd card function bought all types of reccomended cards and it doesnt allow it , dont know if faulty machine , can you do a video of using it thanks

[@carltonmoncrieffe1516]

Hi, what is the best setup you'd recommend for flivestream?

[@izaakzolis2790]

When I apply Parametric Eq or graphic Eq to a subgroup it doesn’t work I don’t know why, the channels are only assigned to the subgroup and Not the Mix, The subgroup is assigned to the Main and also the GEQ and the PEQ are ON, I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong

[@Garagemade236]

What do you usually send for broadcast Mix? Pre or post

[@MichaelGarcia03]

This video helped me so much. Can you possibly make a video showing how to make a broadcast mix using a matrix?

[@foursquarecommunitychurch9195]

Same, and same 👍

[@brandon_myers]

Agreed! Broadcast mix using matrix. Is it possible to have different/separate effects chains on individual inputs for in-house and broadcast? For example: is it possible to have more or less reverb on individual inputs rather than on just the whole matrix mix?

[@ShortyQue]

Can you link just main mix and mix 1?

[@mikeperdue9548]

Hello, So I have the Studiolive 64ch and want to do output to my other studiolive 32 to use for facebook and need to do atleast 30 channels and need to be able to separately EQ, Gate, Compressor just for FB and it not mess with house mix?

[@AttawayAudio]

Sounds like you need to master the AVB network to get those channels appearing on both consoles

[@johnh1267]

Hey James have you able to successfully connect studiolive 3 mixer to Logic Pro or proTools and get either of them to function correctly in DAW mode? Is it possible for you to do a Video on this..

[@AttawayAudio]

I haven't tried. Sorry!

[@uptownphotography]

Well done video James and timely info for me. Question Please: I would like to set up Aux sends (probably 4 of them) for mix down (like aux sends on an analog mixer) so that I could route specific tracks to external processors (if needed during a mix down). Where would the outputs be located on the back of the mixer (to route to the outboard gear) and where would I plug in the stereo returns on the mixer? I have the same 32S mixer...Thanks James. Phil NYC Area

[@CoderCoronet]

Hi. Thank you for the nice videos. I have a StudioLive 32S and just got the Eventide H9000R. Do you know if I can use the H9000R as effect inserts on the SL32S?

[@AttawayAudio]

Not as an insert on a channel strip, but you can use a flex mix to send to it, and then return it on an Aux input or another input channel.

[@CoderCoronet]

@@AttawayAudio Thanks. It would be nice to have a video from you demonstrating this. No pressure :)

[@DenverClark]

Great job. Yours is the most informative I've seen yet. Really dig the Pre 1 & 2 thing. How about EQ???Can you EQ the main LR out different than the Mono out? Assume they are going to two completely different systems.

[@AttawayAudio]

I think the mono out is just a sum of LR, but I could be mistaken

[@DenverClark]

@@AttawayAudio I believe that's correct. I just made a Matrix for the send I needed. It of course has its own EQ. Thanks for the reply

[@johnwilson7809]

Is there a way to mute the effects via a footswitch? Saw a guy did it with an older board that had channel inserts, but this board does not have those.

[@AttawayAudio]

I haven't seen a way to add a footswitch to mute the FX, but you could assign them to a mute group that's on the User Function keys if you'd like. I personally prefer having them assigned to a DCA so I can fade them rather than mute them.

[@niels__vdb]

Hi! Do you by any chance know if you can process (EQ, compress) every channel individually per monitor mix? I'm considering buying the 32ch rackversion for an IEM setup, but up until now I haven't found out of if this is possible or not :) Hope to hear from you. Thanks a million!

[@AttawayAudio]

Channel EQ is per input channel, but you CAN double-patch an input and get a separate amount of processing. For instance, if you have a singer dealing with the inner-hum and want to thin out their mic for their IEMs, but everyone else wants some fullness when they're following the lead vocal, you can patch the input twice and process one for the singer, and the other for the rest of the band independently.

[@niels__vdb]

@@AttawayAudio That's exactly why aI asked it:) thanks a million. This was helpfull!

[@rudygomez6996]

Hello. Can i connect a cable from subgroup out to one of my channel strips on mixer? For example to send delay from subgroup out into a channel strip and send that channel into reverb? Im worried this might cause electronic damage?

[@AttawayAudio]

It's definitely doable... just keep the preamp down, or you'll clip the input channel. And don't create a feedback loop or you'll regret it 😀

[@rudygomez6996]

@@AttawayAudio thank you!

[@adammendoza3597]

PLEASE HELP. SIMPLE QUESTION...How do I get monitors to actually come on? Pugged into outputs on the back. Two simple monitors. Need to get them to come on. Tried Aux 1. No luck. Wha am I doing wrong? How do I get monitors to work???

[@rustyfritz7743]

You click the edit button underneath the monitor and headphone knobs and then the screen will pop up to select the routing and which mode you want to monitor in. You can monitor the main mix, any on the flex mixes or solo mode where it just monitor what solo is on. I monitor through flex mix 11-12. My other flex mixes are used as headphone mixes to the players and then I basically just don’t use the main mix. Make sure to stereo link the flex mix Also make sure you stereo width on the fat channel gets turned up to 100% for some reason. Its sets to zero (my headphones were in mono for a long time before I realized the stereo width)

[@JosueFlores-tm4sx]

HI. Can you save a scene in to your flexmix for every musician?

[@AttawayAudio]

that's a great question! ... I'll have to look into that one

[@carltonmoncrieffe1516]

Hi, what's the best setup you'd recommend for my church's livestream? And I enjoy you video. Thanks for sharing.

[@MichaelGarcia03]

Does anybody know if there’s a low pass filter on the series 3? cuz i know of course there’s a high pass cuz i use it very often.

[@alexChook]

You will have to use the final band as the low pass or another eq plugin. There is no dedicated one in the stock eq.

[@bluegrassjammer37kay]

I’ve never tried using the mixer for this purpose, but, there possibly a work around by using the Low Pass Filter settings within the stock FX Settings. (I have the Presonus Series 3 SL 32 channel mixer.) FX A: Vintage Plate Reverb FX B: 335 Digital Reverb FX C: Stereo Delay FX D: Mono Delay You could possibly route desired channel through one of the effects dry except for the Low Pass Filter setting to achieve the sound you are wanting. (I’m still learning how to use mixer, so, I may be way off base on this suggestion.)

[@AttawayAudio]

Only in the effects racks or some limited ones in some of the EQ plugins

[@Kon7ptor]

Nice but we can’t see the screen of your mixer

[@robint6234]

Studio live 64s can't route output first16 output

[@DavinPetersen]

I believe Auxen is the correct plural

[@Wes80Rob]

Commenting for the algorithm.

[@AttawayAudio]

well done

[@sickmessiah]

It should be said that the only way to get fx returns in a flew mix is with the matrix mix. Singers like reverbs.

[@AttawayAudio]

I can add reverb returns to my aux sends

[@sickmessiah]

@@AttawayAudio mine wouldnt let me for some reason through my earmix 16's . had to be matrix for me for some reason

[@KLRCAT]

How do you listen to the Aux outputs? or mix outputs? cause every time I've tried it's gone horribly wrong (as in, no audio or it starts muting channels). This desk is by far the worst desk I've ever used in my life. The patching is beyond stupid, and the "Fat channel" is probably the worst feature I've ever seen on a sound desk. I'd far rather mix on my XR18 than EVER touch another PreSonus desk. How are they still in business? who is buying these mixers?

[@AttawayAudio]

If you go to Mix/FX Master, you can solo the outputs there. Sorry you're having a tough time with it! It's got its pros and cons

[@KLRCAT]

​@@AttawayAudio I tried that, but when I solo'd the master channels it wasn't anything like what I was sending. For context, I taped the "Mix/FX Master" on the right side fader bank, I then solo'd "Aux 1" which is what I was sending on "Mix 1" but when I solo'd it all I was hearing was the kick drum (input 1) and that wasn't even turned up on Mix 1. I then kept hitting the "Next" button to see if I could find the "Mix 1" master instead of the "Aux 1" master, but I couldn't find it.
