I am new to all this technical stuff. With all the videos I've watched on how to use a mixing console, this one ACTUALLY teaches how to set a board. Thank you!

[@groovydjs]

Glad it helped!

[@charanebot6423]

Thank you for this. I'm all new to this and since we are just starting out with new instruments in my church, I'm the one in the best position to control and manage the sound. So your information on the basics is really very much appreciated from this end.

[@msh6865]

Initial setup just got a lot easier for those paying attention to this video. Great info!

[@Don_of_the_Dad]

This popped up the exact week I was trying to learn this. Thanks!

[@reedburke7762]

I am really enjoying all the new videos, don’t know what you are talking about a lot of the time but none the less, enjoyable! Happy to hear you regularly again Dr. Groovy.

[@The_Macaroon]

I feel smarter for watching this. Thanks Scott.

[@WickedFesterBand]

Thanks Scott! Great information here.

[@tommyhunter9641]

Great video. I'm new at running my own band sound and it is still an adventure. Last time was very good. Thanks for the tips. I enjoy your videos up here in Howell Mi. Take care and stay well. And I will too.

[@JerryAulenbach]

I appreciate the tip about revisiting the gain after doing the basic eq

[@groovydjs]

My pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@tatialo37]

I'm always fiddling with this at church!!! Tell the rest don't touch!!!

[@OregonDARRYL]

I've been singing for many years now and learned this - I point the mic at my mouth - but not my mouth at the mic. I sing over it - past it - to eliminate puffing sounds. I hold the mic from one to two inches from my mouth. This method works great.

[@chriskerrick1452]

Thanks Doctor great video as always. i am still learning everyday. You really help us all. Thank you

[@billnelson9413]

Thank you! This should be required learning!

[@justinjohnson8816]

Thanks for sharing this. Ive been wanting to learn how to use a mixing board for a long time.

[@charlesperry3022]

Great video Dr Groovy

[@RoosterStone]

Awesome instructional video Scott, you have no idea how glad I am to see this, not every band, power trio, musician, guitarist has a dedicated sound man handy, especially these days! (drummer/sound man's taking care of his aging mom), so this has truly been helpful. Been thinking about ya bud, I truly hope you're feeling better; still cracking funny ass jokes and sounding good & strong, hope you stay well! ''Loved channel long time', keep up the good work!

[@MelodyMaker218]

Awesome thanks Scott!

[@MasterMINDProductions]

Bro said I need some sizzle on here! Love it 💪🏾❤️

[@matthewlunsford4351]

Thanks, this was informative and I learned how to setup board.

[@a1b1bcsologuy]

Good Job Scott

[@mr.keebler7927]

Loved the mix wizard console!

[@cameronstilliens7163]

Thanks for the video Scott! I am wanting to learn more and more about sound and all that goes with it. You’ve helped take away some fear of how to run a sound board. Thank you for all ya do!

[@samgwillym]

Fantastic video affected my live mixing 10fold thanks

[@pauldritsas6047]

Love it very groovy!!! thank you

[@groovydjs]

Rock on!

[@chromemusic4401]

You weren’t kidding when you said you’re loud. I get some karaoke singers that swallow the mic and muddy up my mix!! I have to change gain settings for them

[@groovydjs]

Here's a great example how it's done in a pro setting by one of the biggest pros around. I hope you dig it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZe7XnWJhJKEbq8

[@mikesmith3084]

Keep it real and raw. Great 👌

[@kestermckain9092]

Great, frank,simple & clear.tks.

[@groovydjs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@whitesands928]

Thank you mate, learned a lot and having a look at our church’s desk it need a whole lot of adjusting. 👍

[@groovydjs]

My pleasure, I'm glad that you found this useful.

[@FanatKINO]

Wow, I was always learning from you about "how to properly use gear". I even have bought video about PA systems in the past. You have impact my knowlage A LOT. You just cant imagine how much I was watching you and how much I fallow your advices to this day. Your tips are always working 100%. Thanks master Groovy. I am happy you continue to do this. Greetings from Lithuania

[@groovydjs]

Thanks my friend! I'll keep on sharing stuff as long as SOMEONE will learn something from it. I'm thankful that you have hung in there with me. Stay safe and stay groovy!

[@martinmichaels234]

super useful cheers!

[@groovydjs]

Glad it helped! All my best.

[@rodneyechalar1079]

yeah! last year I found a fender runaway pedal, I lost that one to bidding.this year there was another, somebody bought it right underneath me . I'm still in search of, never going give up.

[@justme8108]

Always interesting!

[@rickyl9540]

Wondrous clarity of cutting edge detail rarely found else ware on any platform of information revelation... I am experiencing evocative tonal re birthing and aural magnanimity!! Mmm Feels Good!!

[@rickyl9540]

And there's so many pretty knobs!!

[@dabig_sho6684]

Celine is kinda good at what she does though lol Love your vids, the shared knowledge, and refreshing entertainment Scott! Rock on!

[@ClovisChitwood]

If I knew this 30 years ago I might be a rock star now, or maybe not

[@riansholiqin]

I experienced trouble when setting the gain in the mixer without the PFL button and only two main LED meter indicator lights were available, namely 'Signal' and 'Peak' only. Whereas in the channel strip there is only a 'peak' lamp, which is related to the knob gain on the channel itself. Are there good instructions sir?

[@jamescrofts7747]

Great video! I Nice mixing board.I jusr bought my first Allen and Heath mixer. ZED-18 and I very impressed how well it sounds. I was wondering how you compare A&H with other mixers.

[@JohnJohnson-bo5sv]

Thank You, this is terrific info and not info that is easy to come by. I appreciate your sharing your experience. In other vids you talk about the Strat Plus (late 80's - 90's) being the best Strats, but you have also said that the Japanese were better? not sure how this works? do you have any favorites among the MIJ and do you know of a reliable seller (in Japan?) to deal with.

[@joecheckacoustic6582]

Great tutorial 👍 thank you

[@groovydjs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stuarttomlinson802]

Cheers !

[@Ditch1221]

Hi Scott , I’m old and new to all this. Is the set up the same if you’re going from a mixing board into a computer to record ? Thank you kindly.

[@jamesclare7203]

How can I hook up effect for vocal when I need Aux1-5 for monitors. Is there a way to use aux 6 as the effects and have each vocal channel have the effects needed?channel

[@chappie505ec]

Can I change my analog mixer and upgrade it to a digital mixer? DJM 600

[@miningmonkey760]

Yo Scott thank you did this short tutorial on the famous volume knob at the top, lol.

[@groovydjs]

Amazing that I can talk almost 20 minutes about one knob huh? lol

[@bramabull111]

My unity gain goes to 11

[@robinmorris5416]

Yeah man, this is great, and the reason after doing the band for 20 + years, we do our own sound, why is it, that 80% of genuine sound techs think they know everything, but really, they don't know squat..I've been in many gigs where the soundman is in charge, and God help you if you offer any suggestions that will make you sound better. They get instantly offended, then they go all in on jacking up your sound. I realize they can work with alot of new bands and they may not have the experience to know what they may need, or not need. But a band that's been playing consistently for the last 24 years, just might know the difference of at least a few frequencies. I know, I like alot of lows, and low mids in my vox. And alot of mids, and high mids in my guitar, and I like to lower mids in my bass, and have plenty of lows and highs as I like a good thick roundwound slappy basstone, but I play with a pick. not my fingers, and, no muddy ass flatwounds.. can you please do a full tutorial on setting up an entire band from startup through mixing, to breakdown, and loadout. Alot of people just don't realize how hard the work is to be in a working band. A 12hr day can lead to 3 or 4 hours of travel, 2hrs of settup, 2 hours of breakdown, and loadout. All this for a 2 to 4 hr show. I'm sometimes exhausted by the time it's showtime, but then after the first note, I'm all into til the end. Then, breakdown,and loadout sucks. .

[@Riffman42]

Great explanation of the gain knob, Scott! I kind of wish you would've also talked more about the faders, unity gain, master volume, and power amp setting to finish up the gain structure.

[@groovydjs]

Many thanks. I'll go through all of that as well and string them all together.

[@jamiedavis9055]

@@groovydjs did you get a chance to string them together Scott? Would love to watch them. Keep up the good work!

[@dustinscott5628]

Hey Scott thanks for doing these reviews, might be a dumb question but I haven't done PA in a long time, can you connect an external effects processor to this unit? Europower PMP2000 is the one I'm referring to.

[@groovydjs]

Hey, my pleasure. I wish there was a way to patch in external effects. There aren't any Aux. sends on that unit.

[@dogboyy2k12]

thx

[@garywood5604]

Where do you have the main volume fader control set while setting while you’re setting up the individual channels

[@groovydjs]

Hi there. Everything is set at "0". That's about 2/3 the way up.

[@weakcannow]

Is this for production song OR for live sound and recording

[@groovydjs]

This particular video was geared at live mixing, but the same structure will apply for recording etc.

[@weakcannow]

@@groovydjs also applys midi music production 🙌
