Nooooo don’t run your first two XLR channels 1&2 from your mixer/controllers! The first 2 channels are for MICs and that’s what the compression knobs are used for. The last 2 mic channels you’re using for you and your client won’t have compression controls (cause they’re only on the first 2 channels). Plus the first 4 channels open up for 4 mics if needed. Use an XLR to quarter inch balanced or the RCA channels from your mixer or controller. Wayyy better than this because as long as it’s not a million feet long the sound will be crisp as an XLR connection because of the short distance. XLR cables are great because you can run them long as heck with no degradation. Also you won’t have to pad the signal like you did (again it’s louder because it’s really for feeding boosted signal for mics)…

@@anewk9868What’re your thoughts on running a sub via AUX/BOOTH outs? I typically run my sub that way. My PA TOPs via MAIN OUTS.

@@DJHEV I guess it’s a personal thing (because a lot of people do that) but although it gives “separate control” it doesn’t do the subs justice (frequency wise) because you’re still sending a full range signal to the sub. I could go down a rabbit hole of “correct” sub options but at the end of the day it’s fine nowadays whether it’s correct or not lol. Don’t let me get started on using booth outs to subs and mic outputs people use directly from controllers with trash processors lol

Looks like the first two channels have compression controls. You may like using those for mics instead. Not so much yours but definitely for your clients or anyone who rarely uses mics. Helps keep the volume constant whether you get people who whisper OR talk too loud. Nice mixer and super smart to use one. Great video

Bro, please run the Dj mixer on the Stereo input , life will be balance!, then your mic from 1 & 2 as suggested from everyone.Keep this is mind , Split the signal of Subs and the top. your mic signal doesn't need to go to subs just low ends! Those QCS will sound even better! During a dinner time you don't need subs and you have controls of the Tops and Subs individually. During the nite I like to push my subs so the split help me push it real good!( Making the intro sound)! a push ! 🤣🙂

How do you split the signal of subs & tops

@hollywoodthedj1673 16 күн бұрын

@@rd2_angel320.. you run your tops into the main output then if that mixing board has an aux out you run the sub to the Aux so you can have separate control to turn that up and down when ever you need!

My dude run channel 3/4 on for your dj controller channel 1& 2 for your mics. As someone who has been using those Yamaha boards for the last 8 years. The mg10 is channel 3/4

No idea why y'all done just use 5/6 or 7/8. One volume knob/slider same output.

This might work but it's not the right way to use the mixer. You should pan channel 1 and 2, Left and Right. No buttons should be pushed, and the gains should be all the way down.

You have a great mixer. Why in the world would you put it into a Yamaha mixer? That is garbage? 😂

@JV-nl7lh 7 ай бұрын

Using an external mixer has been a lifesaver for my setup as well. Don't worry about the effects on each channel. You're using a mixer with digital effects and as long as you aren't sending effects to your channels it won't affect your sound quality.

Is it away to use a passive speaker to a amplifier to a phone set up??

Then we get Cleveland Terry who never uses an external mixer as he believes his controller can handle his speakers and microphone all by itself.

@oldschooldjernie 3 ай бұрын

To give Terry credit is that he has a point. Why in the heck would someone spend $2000 for a controller and get a shitty mic section? Or even worse yet--- buy the $3000 opus one and have a lackluster mic section. And then add to that--- buy a cheap $129 Yamaha mixer for your output? I could understand a $99 Numark Mix Track or Hercules pile of crap but thats it. Most of these nerds use nice controllers so it doesn't make sense to buy an external mixer.

You have a great Controller with better sound quality. Unless you are with a band don’t use a mixer . You will notice the sound quality from Rev7 is better than from Yamaha MG10

PAD button is for attenuate volume for LINE in, MIC needs more "gain" so you turn "Off" pad for that gain mic needs

Great info I had now from you, I noticed that you did not turn the trim in the external mixer, after making sure all volume levels are not peaking red, can I use the trim buttons to gain more volume? Of course, making sure not peaking red.

Would running the L/R out of the board into inputs 1/2 on the mixer cause it to be in mono on the output? I thought you’d have to run a XLR to TRS from the board to the mixer to one of the other channels like 3 to keep the stereo output

One thing I do is in meticulously document every aspect of my equipment and how it’s setup in Obsidian. It comes in very handy when I need a checklist or when ordering replacements and spares.
