How to use an Audio Mixer

[@k4kfh]

Good video, but I have found it works better to tell people that gain is analogous to sensitivity rather than volume. A short demo of ridiculously high gain where you can hear someone chewing gum across the room helps to drive this idea home, and seems to make better engineers in the end, at least in my experience.

[@WalapalaW]

Hampton Thank you that was my question

[@pdavis4853]

Great analogy. That makes much more sense to me.

[@UgwuSunday-ew1oj]

this is a good video and a nice tutorial. We explained and easy to understand

[@l.3752]

Best and simplest video I’ve seen thanks a lot

[@BingeNews]

8:16 lmao

[@paulc3960]

Thank you. Good video. Precise and get to the main points.

[@anandvardhan4185]

Brief and precise. Good video

[@mahimasinha3007]

Really beneficial. Thanks a bunch. Expecting more in the chain.

[@trusarmor4957]

this is so helpful and super well done, thanks

[@carlitoxb110]

to the point great video thank you

[@pranayjaspervijayanand]

This is amazing. Helped

[@amy-leeward939]

THIS IS SO COOL

[@HenryYong]

I have always thought that the Fader should be all set to 0db and using Gain to adjust volume, then fader to mix the output. ie. Gain Staging.

[@SeanLaMontagne]

I would check out some mixing videos from Dave Rat

[@pdavis4853]

Awesomeness dude!! I have been looking cross-eyed at the console in my church loft since we started streaming a few months ago due to covid. Only now am I getting into the details of managing audio quirks. You just clarified a bunch of things for me. Thank you!!!!!!

[@rudolph_007]

Thank for the video bro. Now I can handle a mixer basics.

[@backstab86]

nice, except that the volume fader is not for adjusting if the volume on the performer is to high or low, its the level sent to the master. the volume from the performer is the gain.

[@backstab86]

and the volume from the singer is not volume. its signal. It needs to be processed before becoming volume.

[@owenbradbury8962]

This video is amazing and got me really interested in the idea of getting a mixer

[@Hue_Nery]

So much missing information. What is a PFL? (Prefader line) and why would I want to use it? You are explains the high and low shelf but the video is showing a hand tweaking mids at the same time. Panning creates your stereo image. It isn’t just “like” a stereo image it becomes stereo when you pan. I’ve no doubt you know what you’re doing but you need to write a script so that everyone understands you clearly. Particularly with a console like this. If a person doesn’t understand what all the buttons do, it can become extremely frustrating.

[@jeroenfigee]

really cool leader !! :-) Thumbs up from me.

[@buxtonofficial4280]

I recently bought myself a audio mixer and I have a friend who needs me to master his track. How do I actually get the audio that he sent me into my mixer for me to work on?

[@PeterT435]

I wonder why some people use their analog mixers connecting to computer monitors? Is it just for recording (or) displaying what they do on the mixers on the monitors? I can't think about it. Thanks.

[@technologetic]

Sometimes it is for displaying the levels or metering. Even though the desk is analog, some of the features can be used digitally.

[@kariahola463]

You could have balanced the video intro and outro audio volume to your narrative ... ;-)

[@akramcharif7040]

Really benefit

[@christianseverin5992]

Great intro into how a mixer works.

[@alexisbangin]

So if I have an audio interface (apollo twin) do i still need this one?

[@socks4290]

I think no,but give your interface to me

[@atomas59]

Well if your video is aim at a beginner. Seem to me, that he must be really confuse by now....Send, Aux, Faders, Volume et Level....Really confusing stuff, and all those bottons...would have start by stating that every slices are the same...)))

[@thedisappointment9003]

ben shapiro ?

[@pauletherington781]

Hi mate, I’ve always been interested in getting a mixing desk. I don’t know much about them. Watched a few videos, but that’s it. Can you tell me what I would need to get set up please, i.e: Mixing desk, reverb machine, converter, speakers, etc? Thanks a lot. Paul

[@SalehQattan]

*Hi, can u do some mixer for me ??*

[@heyniiarmah]

You have a great video, however, you did not talk about what I was looking forward to. The USB. how do you increase the volume for ?

[@dingo3077]

I have a question. I have a powered mixer. I have a couple of the channels that don't have XLR but has 1/4 inputs. If need be, can I use a XLR to 1/4 adapter to plug a mic into that channel? The channels does still have a preamp on the strip. This link will show you the mixer I use. @

[@jackkemp7256]

Can you guess what the man in the commercial before the video uses to grow his busyness? I wish I couldn't. Darn KZbin ad repetition.

[@nicholaskuusoyir1735]

Wonderful video. I'd like to know more about graphic EQ and the digital multi effects

[@spaceyaliens]

hello mate what would you say is a better desk the soundcraft 22MTK or this one? Thanks mate

[@biukucanoe]

did you tell how to set the trimmer and slider level anywhere?

[@whospink4538]

if it possible to plug in an amp head directly into the mixer input and not mic the speaker ?

[@larrywatson3842]

Understandable, and simple, good job !

[@lechevarria478]

simple and straight to the point. Thank you

[@ellepayne7906]

I have the software for a live mixing board(yamahaM7CL). I need to set this mixing board up for an ensemble. I have the list of instruments, mics, and effects. I need everything properly labeled and patched properly so that all I have to do is plug my thumb drive into the console for rehearsal.

[@MichaelG_]

Nice video! I am doing a concert and I don't know how to use an audio mixer. This video really helped!

[@kitchentable1362]

Never do a concert if you dont even know how to use the gear

[@shalomsaji8019]

You probably shouldn't do a concert if you don't know how to use a mixer.

The preamp gain is the most important stage of the set up

[@JankoFrancisty]

I'm an analog freak to the bone.. But as i'm watching this.. i'm glad plug-ins and DAW's exist.. Analog mixing is too time consuming.

[@weissenbachryann2449]

tuyệt vời

[@venator5]

Question. Is it possible to extract instruments or deconstruck a song with a mixing board?

[@atomas59]

Extract from a soundtrack already mixed, you mean. In that case the answer would be NO.

[@mickypoo4622]

A nice simple explanation made very clear. I just got my first compact 6 channel mixing desk today for gigging! Keep up the good work and many thanks.

[@PapadumGeek]

Do you do any live mixing your self?

[@technologetic]

yes a bit! how about yourself?

[@PapadumGeek]

Technologetic lol, *live mixing

[@PapadumGeek]

I work as a Audio Technician :)

[@technologetic]

oh cool! what kind of gigs do you do

[@burakdeveli2121]

VERY HELPFUL VIDEIO THANKS A LOT!

[@dirtyconsole2247]

Always looks angry. lol your facial expressions are so intense.

[@gohjohan]

If you have to monitor all 24 different sources, your facial expression will be the same. For the 1st time 2 weeks ago, I tried it with 8 different sources and it was hard, especially when I have not watched this video until just now!

[@Banjomute]

Great video. Thanks. For my ears, a bit slower and with a bit more annunciation would help. Might just be me though. (If you are kind enough to make more vids. :-)

[@tritowns]

Gain until mic clips... then turn it down so it doesn't clip... that's max gain for that mic... then set the rest accordingly... hope that makes sense

[@djrahimkhan8614]

[@Spentelectrons]

[@williamwinston7864]

Great video, thanks for making it!

[@oskarterlecki5649]

How would you use a mixer in a DAW?

[@Hue_Nery]

You need a mixer that is also an interface. Many mixers with USB out only output two channels. Namely the stereo bus or main bus. Yamaha/Strindberg have mixers which allow for multiple simultaneous recording. In reality, a mixer isn’t really necessary with a DAW since most don’t act as control surfaces as well as interfaces. Depending on how many inputs you need simultaneously a 2-8 input interface will be much more affordable. If you still have FireWire with a removable chipset, look for a used Mackie Onyx board. The 16 i will allow you to fold back channels to your Mixer so you can mix analogue and record your mix back to two channels in your DAW. Otherwise a simple interface works just fine and often will allow for all the routing available in many mixers. Even allowing for hardware sends and inserts. The more money you spend of course, the better.

[@blu6646]

Real good vid man

[@InSaiyanShinobi]

does any 1 know how to setup a mixer for twitch live streaming like for music your discord , desktop of your pc and others like if so plz let me know man i dont know how to set this up lol really new to this

A kid stuck in the analogue age. Digital is the way to go

[@wedfrest]

Lol okay mate

[@weirdskyreallyweird.5519]

or maybe he doesnt want to or cant afford to pay three times the price for a digital mixer

[@ConwayBob]

This A&H board sounds great, is quite usable, and is highly affordable. I've got one and love it. A 24-channel digital board is probably going to sound great too, but it won't be anywhere near as affordable as this analog thingie, at least not in the near future. Keep in mind also that even the most expensive digital mixing board is going to need analog microphone preamps ahead of its A-D converters. Your voice and ears, mate, are still going to remain entirely analog.

[@danpreston564]

Hmmm. You said plug the microphone in and set the level without telling them how to set the level. A little explanation of the correct use of the PFL to set the gain correctly would have been a useful addition to this video.

[@michaelsoweto4744]

Especially since that's the primary purpose of PFL in the first place.

[@danpreston564]

michael soweto I played a gig last month where I ran my mixer as a sub mix into the house mixer. The sound guy at the venue didn’t know how to use PFL to set levels. I was horrified.

[@michaelsoweto4744]

I've been a sound engineer for 30 years, and I can't tell you how many house sound peeps I've had to school - many of which have supposedly had formal training (those can be the worst). So, let me just say in defense of some of them, that setting proper gain structure can be tricky, especially if you're in a small venue. Trim is subjective, and sometimes you simply cannot rely on PFL to set input levels and end up having ample headroom to create a proper mix. So, there is a time and place for gain structure rules to be honored or ignored (mostly). In these cases, it's all about getting the most gain you that you NEED, without overdriving the channel. In a perfect world, when we run line levels into a board, we can go by the "unity gain" rule, because all line levels (by default) are at zero db within the chain anyway... and in this case, there really isn't much need to use PFL to get the right input level because input trim would be set on the sub mixer anyway. In these cases, I simply find peak, and reduce gain on each input equally in order to maximize headroom. This may "look" incorrect at face value to someone who isn't familiar with the the venue, and I've had sound engineers try to call me out based on their visual observations, but the proof is in the pudding... and they always concede that "it looks wrong, but it sounds spectacular". And THAT is what's important, right?
