😂 Kelvin you did well...some of us didn't know this about analog mixers...greetings from Ghana

[@BethsaleelMabeaBoua]

This is the best EQ tutorial ever. Very straightforward with clear language. All the other instructors use complexe technical words! Thanks for that

[@gracechurchwarrnambool6912]

Hey Kelvin. Once again, such a great video! Your use of graphics helped me so much on understanding the parmetric controls on the MG 24. Thanks so much for all the time spent. Pete

[@deejaysammyb8008]

Funny how he dropped this 2 years ago and it's just helping people out now

[@MrTerryRay1]

Thanks Kelvin for this video. I've watched many videos and your video explains eq most clearly. I like how you explain a band, then show us what cutting and boosting frequencies are and how to do it. I subscribed because I'd like to learn more from you about audio. Blessings to you!

[@KelvinEriaganoma]

You’re welcome TerryRay. I’m glad you found value from the video. Stay blessed.

[@mahadevlover0030]

Nice information Thanks sir

[@darlingtonmanyimbeng1834]

Hello, Mr. Kelvin, please can you try to connect the mixing console with amplifier and crossover, and speakers. Because i wish to understand how the Amplifiers and crossovers are being connect to speakers. And also on how to use auxilliarys channels to assign them on different channels from the mixing console to the amplifier to the speakers. Please!!!!

[@Matthew_175]

Thanks sir Kelvin, your teaches really wonderful, im grateful i meet you but please i have a question ❓

[@goodlistener6046]

Master kelvin great video. Pls we use this same mixer in church and we don’t have a sound guy right now. Pls what is the right tuning for my bass guitar channel. I’d really appreciate it if u can help me out sir

[@amerd.encourager9636]

Hello your video is good but my English is bad. Can i ask, the hi pass filter should be all press down. On vocals. But up on bass and guitars and drums???? Or vice versa? Thank you for your reply and God bless you

[@DanielAkaneme]

Please how do i know what frequency my analogue mixer eq bands (lows and high are set to)

[@Betterlifebetteryou24]

Please how do I connect my mixer to my computer to show graphical representation of whatever I do just like how you're doing with the eq

[@KelvinEriaganoma]

You really can’t do that with an analog mixer. The EQ adjustment I made on the mixer and the corresponding graphical illustrations shown in the video, were done differently. I synced them in edit. 😎

[@Betterlifebetteryou24]

@@KelvinEriaganoma Thanks for the Feedback Sir. My next question is; We use the same console as yours in our church, we find difficulty in recording our live sessions. Do we need an Audio interface or there's a way out. 2. Whenever we connect a reference headphone we only hear one part that's the Left only

Hi Kelvin, my god I have seen so many video clips of people explaining this topic, but you my friend have explained it so so well, I just purchased the new Mackie 16fx V3 mixing desk, and i usually keep all control knobs at 12-o-clock position, yes I know this is not correct and I have found last nights gig basically bringing my High up fully to get the crisp vocal in after here, the mic I use is the Beyerdynamic M88tg love thi for its tone and throw, but all the way full with the high is really not good, If I angle my 935a rcf top in slightly towards I get the weird feedback shrill interference, puzzled as to what this is, for the fx I use number 12 on this desk reverb with slight Delay and my main output is set to unity 00, So first off should the button for my vocals cutting be actually on, I'm a baritone vocalist, should I never be touching 12 position on my low, it was explained so well I could see what wave I was getting from you showing the diagram of eq band while at the same time the control knobs on the desk, and the image I'm now seeing in relation to my Mackie pro16fx is scary, can you do a little research on this desk and is it as good as it's reviewers give it and how I should be setting my eq, Thanks Kelvin, I'm now subscribed to your channel its a credit to you, Martin

[@olloyhadibo8303]

Thank you brother you made me understand more better than my lecture.

[@alfredkirubaraj]

Hi brother.... Which software you used for spectrum analyser... when you change in mixer there is change in software... Wt software is that... How did you do that....

[@KelvinEriaganoma]

I used the built-in Parametric EQ from Cakewalk by Bandlab. However, The mixer EQ adjustment and the software adjustment were done differently. I synced them in edit. Thanks for reaching out.

[@Nachristos]

How do you achieve the screen on the left to show what you are mixing

[@kanakacooking1015]

Thank you brother, awesome job you doing..

[@MatthewHenkle]

Thank you! That is very helpful

[@mr_luke19]

Hey Kelvin, would like to find out, on which instruments would you use the pad button? And in what circumstances would you use it? Also does these eq settings also apply to connecting cordless/wireless mics

[@gregdinger2967]

Newly subscribed. Your channel content and presentation style are excellent. Thanks so much!

Ciao Kelvin, volevo sapere come posso verificare con grafico come da tua descrizione ed eventualmente quale programma utilizzi e quali sono i collegamenti sul mixer per vedere il grafico? Grazie Renato **************** Hi Kelvin, I wanted to know how I can check with graph as per your description and possibly which program you use and what are the connections on the mixer to see the graph?
