How Analog Mixing Consoles Work - Using a Allen & Heath Console

How Analog Mixing Consoles Work - Using a Allen & Heath Console GL3800
At 6:00 minutes of this video. I had the line input button explained backwards. You leave the line button up for XLR inputs and down for line level inputs such as instruments in the 1/4 TRS connections in the back of that channel.

I bought an Allen & Heath GL3300 and it’s great to have this video as a reference. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@areyoujelton]

This is the best breakdown of a mixing console I’ve seen. Thank you. This even helps me with my Tascam Model 16. As you said, they all typically have similar layouts. Thank you.

[@HellagooDtv]

I know a lot of this but you did a great job re explaining this. Salute

[@Bitapart]

Wow thank you for that Video. I just bought a GSR-24M and going to set it up for hybridmixing. This video really helped me to understand the console better! Thanks so much

[@TheRealNewBlackMusic]

Wishing you much success for you and your Channel keep letting them know about analog

[@TheSoundtec]

Love to see a video from your Matrix to your I/O interface and how you play back from your DAW.

[@atcordice]

Yo bro great session and very informative...

[@leepluck3776]

You can kinda create a solo by using a group mute, make it mute all and just unmute what you want to hear

[@MarkBragg]

That's how I do it

[@michaelshreve6455]

Great information! Can you switch the direct outs to post fader? So, you can send the signal to your DAW with preamp, and EQ.

[@marksmusicplace3627]

you can. some Allen and heaths , you have to do it by a jumper inside the consoles but some consoles its the matter of switching from pre to post by a button.

[@mthompson965]

Great video, you have the right concept but your terms are all over the place.

[@Roscoewade369]

Very Educational

[@bobdimartino6738]

thank you for responding

[@atcordice]

I would like you to do a video on plugins on the inserts of the analog mixer. And if the plugins sound different on the analog mixer vs out from the sound card

[@psychedelic6841]

Oh ok I’ll go rewatch the video thanks

[@marksmusicplace3627]

what equipment do you have and maybe I can help you out as far as a setup

[@passionate3249]

Woo Woo This is video is one of the best i have ever watch, you have held nothing back many many thanks. which there was a way i could bless you. my Church has a GL4000 and we have quite a bit of outboard equipment but i am sure after watching this that there is so much that can be connected. is there anyway i can drop you an email? Again thanks very much. God Bless

[@marksmusicplace3627]

thanks for watching. My email is [e-mail]

[@thomas9469]

Brother man we have the GL 2400 model Allen health at the church. Do u know how I able to do live stream Facebook from the mixer to get the quality sound out. Thanks.

[@JulianFernandez]

thanks!

[@topa1798]

thank you :)

[@bobdimartino6738]

i just bought one said has two power supplies so it said no power cables to run it. is it worth it and are the power cables expensive?

[@marksmusicplace3627]

as far as the console. I have no complaints about the tone quality. Allen&Heath stop making this console years ago so i am not if you can call their tech line about getting another power cable. These consoles come with a RPS11 power supply so i don't know how you would acquire another cable other than maybe eBay.

[@claytonkingtv]

I have an extra cable i can sell you. its for the gl300.

[@claytonkingtv]

or we can sawp the cable for a power supply seens you have 2 and no cable.

Hey Mark I have a question if you have a mixing console and a audio interface and you take the monitor out puts from the mixing console and connect it to the audio interface inputs and connect a xlr mic to your mixing console and then connect your usb cable from your interface to your computer would you be able to record in to your DAW that way

[@marksmusicplace3627]

yes. your DAW should see the input source as soon as you arm the track in the DAW.

[@psychedelic6841]

Hi Mark do you have a video we’re you show how all the out board gear is connected to your Mixng console

[@marksmusicplace3627]

Yes. I did a video on patchbays. this video explains the basics of how gear would be connected to the console.

[@psychedelic6841]

Can you show how to hook up the mixing console to pro tools or any other daw how do you connect it

[@marksmusicplace3627]

i can do a video on it.

[@marksmusicplace3627]

i'm sorry, I had to think about your question. I was thinking about the audio interface outputs. The allen and heath console i own is the older fully analog console so it can not control DAWs I have to use my M Audio CTRL49 and my presonus faderport to control my daw. The console is just used to hear the tracks through my console.and used external outboard gear, Allen& Heath do sell a console known as the GS-R24M which can act as a analog console. USB and DAW Controller.

[@psychedelic6841]

Ok it fine

[@audiolego]

Wowwww

[@davidkeller8084]

So what is the 8 channel Behringer for?

[@marksmusicplace3627]

I used to use it record into the audio interface and it was also my mixer input for blogging but I stop using it for that and now I use it for a small keyboard mixer setup.

[@davidkeller8084]

@@marksmusicplace3627 Just thought it looked out of place with the Allen & Heath

[@psychedelic6841]

Hey mark Can you make a video about usb mixers

[@marksmusicplace3627]

No problem I will post one tomorrow

[@psychedelic6841]

Oh no I was just wondering because I want to be a producer when I graduate high school and I’m trying to learn how to use gear because I am more of a analog user and not used to digital

[@marksmusicplace3627]

Oh ok I understand.

[@WillsJazzLoft]

00:01:20 that's a ' simple ' mixing console. Then show me what's sophisticated and intricate !!! Man, I'm scared of you 🤣😂

[@muzikstore7984]

Let me ask you this, you wanna sell it?

[@marksmusicplace3627]

for the right price, depends
