Good video. Most of these videos show digital consoles so its good to find an analog tutorial.

[@cheefahdray2606]

This was a great explanation. Thanks

How do u set it up on the board for no clipping and distortion on dat board because all u did was the gain

[@bflo5210]

Great explanation....I have the larger mackie board and I get a decent sound for my band... I have to mix onstage because we're just a local cover band... we get compliments on our sound, but I've never really done it right....I'm thinking this will point me in the right direction!

Hey I got a question

[@alandust2188]

Is there any recommended way to set up a sound mixer (PMP6000) that multiple singers can use the same mic? I struggle with this at a music jam where different people use the same mic. The individuals expect the system to compensate for their changes in volume and the ever varying mic placement distance. Trying to explain to them how to use the mic has not helped and trying to constantly adjust the channel volume or even gain has not been a good solution. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hello Engineer, can I know between gain and fader which has clean voice? And where should I add gain? Thank you! 🙏

[@keithpaesel]

It took 11 minutes for you to get to actually gain staging to mic. I know what the buttons are called, I don't need to know what the knobs are, just the settings and levels.

Dynamics don’t require 48 volts

[@towlermedia]

Exactly right! If I said that somewhere in the video, I stand corrected.

[@nigell.8705]

Rude Solo lets you know if a channel is still in solo mode.

[@towlermedia]

I always thought that was a funny wording for that. Haha

[@harvesttemplecc]

​@@towlermedialol. Right?

[@dustinadair7893]

It’s to remind the guitar players of the band to end their solo because it’s going on 5 minutes now and that’s enough. It’s starting to get rude.
