The Mixing Triple Threat: 3 Essentials Every Audio Engineer Must Master

[@michaelivey1758]

39:41 Well guys, this one was very informative. I'm a DBSE ( Drive By Sound Engineer ). I have multiple churches that I service on Sundays and that came about as since 2014 I've installed ( 15 ) Full Sized X32s, ( 5 ) X32 Compacts, ( 3 ) X32 Producers, ( 3 ) M32Rs, ( 2 ) Behringer Wings, ( 1 ) XR18, and ( 1 ) Soundcraft UI24R. In my quest to train the volunteers to run these boards, it doesn't matter which one, that seems to be the issue that most of them have a problem with the gain structure. Somehow the illusion of set it and forget it seems to be a go to that they are most comfortable with. I liked the Triple Threat concept as I think that's going to make more information that some of the volunteers can relate to. I do try to emphasize the sweet spot ( -18 to-12 ) only to find my folks often are constantly adjusting the Gain instead of the fader. So not that I've viewed this video I'm going to make it my business to share it with them. Thanks for the clarity guys.

Yes, you should have a followup on "The Triple Threat. " We went thru this just last night in our church fellowship hall that has very bassy speakers. We had a political forum with five wireless mics and 12 speakers swapping mics speaking Low and High, at different distances from their mic. I went upstsirs and showed them to use HPF & fader adjustment due each speaker, with the result Not Muffled. Very good video, and now a new subscriber!

This is awesome advice. Even though I have a few years of experience, I still love to learn from vets to go to the next level. Thank you fellas.

i am happy for this video. it will help me a lot

[@arabiancryptoman]

Thanks

[@micahmuth4256]

could you do an audio triple threat in conjunction with Scovill? He has a great deep dive into gain during his into the lab days. I've dubbed it the Scovill doctrine and it's what i teach and preach when i work with my volunteers. to the point where i meter from pro tools in venue rms because the dlive is a peak meter and doesn't show negative values. just says 0. and 0 is -18 dbfs according to them. also doesn't meter rms. but anyway, I love this. I'm such a nerd

I appreciate what this video is trying to do but it’s not giving the science and technical principles enough respect. Lots of subjective statements about objective tools being used for a subjective role.

[@marcus_bowling]

Did you understand all of the science when you first started mixing? I know I didn't. I just needed to know what knobs to turn to make it happen. Gotta start somewhere!

[@christianmartinez1]

@@marcus_bowling lol. Of course not, but I did learn a lot of bad habits from some musicians turned “engineers”. Spent the last 10 years unlearning the bro science of sound. I think beginners deserve the chance to start off on the right path. I wish I did.
