Live Mixing Tips Full Band - Creating Moments

[@fundumbmentaltrades2433]

thanks for the videos man. Truly a godsend. I was just getting ready to go run sound and they told me they had this board. It's my first live sound gig and I wasn't familiar with the board. I prayed that I would find some work doing sound. and out of the blue, I got my first gig. God lead me there and now he's led me here. Thanks god bless.

Love the vids. My compact will arrive tomorrow. Even though you and I have completely different output. Your knowledge has been invaluable.

[@joelmathejojo]

Awesome, Dave Rat Talked about the same thing in his live mixing strategy video, really great tip for sure, glad to see it in action now. Thank you.

[@DrewBrashler]

I love Dave Rat's videos! Thanks for the comment, Joel!

[@dennisparker635]

Dave Rat also said you shouldn’t ride continuously ride the faders trying to be perfect and you should let the band play and be natural.

[@ra4fun4me]

I use the same dcas to pull/push band and vocals. Great demonstration!

[@HamAviationFilms]

Great Video! I think I'll have to try that out at the next event.

[@Tom-kp2lv]

Any chance you can do a vid showing how to set up the routing so that the DCAs are post compression?

[@josephdixon1688]

Yes!

[@afamchibuzor347]

Great video. Thanks for sharing... Can you do a complete breakdown of this particular mix? Thanks!

[@paulmorrey733]

Thanks Drew

[@KatanaSFB3000]

Hello. Tell me please, what should be the sound level on the indicators? I keep the input level of each channel at -18dB. I also keep the overall mix at -18dB. And you have a sound level near clipping. Isn't that a lot for a digital mixer?

[@luisramonpachecoclaudon9963]

Buen día Ing. Lo que veo en los medidores del máster Fader es que la señal está demasiado caliente y llega hasta el clip de distorcion.

[@theosel3498]

Hello please could you do a video on how you eq the sound for the whole mix through the full ranges, subwoofers and monitors

[@DjSandy46901]

Great vid Drew. Isn't that kick too loud?

[@mmargan]

Drums overall are too loud, sounds like a drum cover mix...

[@jpridgard5687]

@@mmargan He’s possibly mixing this on a sound system or studio monitor setup in his room, but I do agree - especially kick and snare.

[@cameronclarkhull]

really cool demonstration. Currently learning theatre mixing on that exact console, would love to get a band in to mix :)

[@coscrupi]

Girl backround singer off centre left doing high harmony. Very nice voice !

[@lalomaldonado72902]

I noticed a lot of clipping on the meter. Is there a reason you didn’t pull back?

[@randyhobbs1514]

Thanks for sharing. I have a question to ask about something different on the x32. Have a screenshot, how can I send it to you?

[@lifespringschurch29073]

Awesome job drew! Who is the male singer or what church is it? so we can look it up! He sounds amazing!

[@jasonengle6835]

Great demonstration. Though I wish you would have explained some of the other adjustments you were making. What was the red channel that was up almost all the way? Be awesome if you did more videos like this, covering the artistic side of mixing.

[@justus9694]

Red channel seems to be the bass guitar

[@DrewBrashler]

J.G. is correct, it is the Bass guitar. He was playing pretty lightly on this song, so I needed to push him up more. I'll definitely be making more of these that talk about more parts of how I mix. Keep an eye out for them!

[@lucianogm]

Great video Drew! Could you describe how you route each track into groups and busses?

[@NiM-San]

Can you make a video about EQ and Compression on instrumentation

[@mikecarter5515]

Hi Drew, thank you for your video , what reverb are you using on the video and how come when he started talking the reverb is not that noticeable

[@miraclesoundco8911]

Respectfully, why are you clipping the board?

[@DrewBrashler]

Great question and thanks for keeping me straight! 1, I was a bit clumsy on this mix and 2, I typically will push my board into the orange so that I don't have to compress the board mix as much for proper levels on KZbin. But I agree, I shouldn't have been hitting the clip on the board.

[@joser08rodriguez]

Would you happen to have a video on how to setup a click track to only be hear in the ear monitors ? We’re running into not being able to give more volume on the click track it keeps coming out of the mains

[@khnervick]

Select the click channel. Turn OFF the routing to the speakers (Main Bus & Mono Bus buttons just to the left of the display panel). Your click track will now only be hear in the in ears.

[@nicolauadriaroraimundo6719]

Gosto muito de acompanhar o seu canal muito obrigado por ajudar

[@tonylancer7367]

Drew, you are such a gem! You've made me a bit more comfortable and confident with the X32. I'd love to know your favourite effects on the X32 and on it? Listening to the mix, I heard a "fast" delay instead of the traditional slower delay, wondering if it's just song specific or always like that.

[@Jude_Farley]

what is the red channel

[@hezekiahcharles6754]

You are clipping the master output... Kick and snare are too loud...

[@danielfmyers]

I do similar but with the master

[@dannymedina8916]

I also use the master, but might have to try using the DCA's

[@itsmatchew]

Not super experienced here, but I feel like using the DCAs would be better. Open for discussion if I’m wrong though

[@ДмитрийПопков-ф3з]

Hi, how to record a band and then play them on channels on berenher x32?

[@justus9694]

he used an extension card in this video which records 32 tracks to USB or SD card. Other option is to use the standard 32x32 USB Interface card and record to a DAW on a connected PC.

[@DrewBrashler]

J.G. nailed it! I'm using the Behringer X-Live card on my X32. Check out my videos on the Behringer X-Live card: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYGnlmSGmLOYkJI. I'm using this with the SD card for multi-track recording and playback to all of the channels on my X32. I end up using the user defined section on the right side of the board for pressing play on the card. I have 4 videos on the X-Live card already up on KZbin, so check them out!

[@ДмитрийПопков-ф3з]

@@DrewBrashler thank you very much

[@ДмитрийПопков-ф3з]

@@DrewBrashler I want to say that you are doing a very good job, it is actually a great blessing. The EQ and compressor settings were suitable for our vocalists and I am very very happy with this work. Also, the video about the delay for snare drum helped to improve the sound quality. I would also like to know about electric guitars, we have two of them, and it's a big problem for me to find a place for them in mixing so that they don't bother anyone. A couple of tips about tuning effects for guitars and EQ and compressor. Sorry for my English, I use a translator.

[@caltapavel]

Hi, For my taste Is kick way too much.

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

I do the same but more a production thing. I mean.. sometimes the band misses the opportunity to let the audience take over so I lower the vocals. Such an atmosphere changer when you let the congregation singing be the loudest in the room

[@jjax633]

Not a fan of panning toms?

[@Sikhlobhaiyo]

Lovely. I m also a sound engineer in news channel aaj tak. I would like to work with you.
