Podcast Mix Minus | Complete Tutorial How to Set Up & Record Mix Minus Skype

[@phcphcphc]

Finally. I have seen 50+ videos on mix minus. This is the first explanation in words and graphics that made 100% sense. NOW I get it. Thanks.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Glad it helped!

[@okkanym]

finally someone on this planet who is embrassing the welcome clear presentation of mix-minus skype set with a mixer

[@RyanUrlacher]

TY

[@HarryHawk]

A lot of very famous podcaster tech guys talk about Mix Minus but their 'free' instructions always seem to manage to leave something out.. Thanks for the fully detailed and complete instructions!

[@RyanUrlacher]

Awesome feedback Harry. I couldn't agree more. That is why I made this video. I wanted to make it easy to understand and not confuse like so many others.

[@HarryHawk]

In particular one with many steps all in amazing rich detail, except for one step which says "connect Skype Computer" with a very misleading diagram and no other details.

[@WallStreet749]

Gee you really get it. Thank you for the detailed and comprehensive explanation unlike other videos that just show and tell you how to plug in cables. You actually tell us why we need to do these things and what the equipment does and how it interacts with the mixer/equipment. I'm subscribing with a big thumbs up! Thanks again. Just ride! :)

[@imranmuneer1924]

Finally a video that explains all this in a coherent and intelligent manner. Thanks for uploading this.

[@RyanUrlacher]

+Syed “SIM” Muneer Makes me smile Syed. Thanks brother. That is why I made it in the first place. Nothing but confusing videos out there. Wish I had more time to make these "tech" videos. Maybe will get some time soon.

[@redgreen73]

Brand new to this whole recording thing ... watched a ton of videos ... this was the most detailed one I found. Very easy to follow and I was able to figure out my problem right away. Excellent. Thanks

[@RyanUrlacher]

Super glad it was helpful. Thx for the shout out.

[@Juchrisad]

Well done video for neophytes like me -You made it so simple. Thanks for taking the time and posting this - I watch so me many videos trying to understand this and I got it now thanks to your simple and easy to understand instructions.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Just awesome! thanks and glad the video helped.

[@BillConradConsultant]

Well explained. I have been trying to figure out the mix minus for sometime.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thanks for the feedback Bill. So glad it was helpful.

[@jhurlbur]

This is the best tutorial on mix minus I have seen! Thanks

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thank you so much John!

[@RagingChickenPress]

Thanks so much for this video. I've watched a dozen or so tutorials, and yours is by far the best. Thanks for helping me up my game!

[@okkanym]

indeed

[@davidfreeman638]

Great stuff Ryan. Now I have a functional picture, in my head, of a Mix-Minus. Thanks for breaking it down for an old guy to grasp. :)

[@RyanUrlacher]

David Freeman Your very welcome David. Glad the video was useful!

[@blazingdan]

Fantastic video! Thanks for this. Heading over to your site to look for more.

[@RyanUrlacher]

blazingdan Thanks for commenting and super glad the video was helpful.

[@charlieross-BRM]

Very helpful Ryan. I've felt like a bit of a tool, buying a nice mixer with two AUX sends, hearing about this mystical "Mix - Minus" for a long time and not knowing how to put it together or even what is was good for. Mind you, up to this year I haven't been attempting Skype or podcasts, just recording a few microphones directly to DAW software on a desktop PC and stitching in music files to create pre-planned shows. I'll definitely check out your other tutorials.

[@RyanUrlacher]

+Charlie Ross Glad you found my video helpful.. Thank you for taking the time to share you appreciation. Take care!

Great video. Very helpful. Subscribed and got the Griffin iMic with your Amazon Associates. Thank you for taking the time to put all this together.

[@JCROnlineMarketing]

Thanks Ryan for your Video. I finally understood the Mix Minus setups., and thanks too for the great content on your Website Cheers..

[@RyanUrlacher]

Jacques RAYMOND Love to hear success like that Jacques. Super glad it was helpful.

[@RelateGREAT]

Super helpful and clearly explained. Thanks tons!!!

[@RyanUrlacher]

Jonathan Sherman Thanks Jonathan. Glad I could help out.

[@TrentEngland]

Great video, got me across the finish line on my setup. Thanks!

[@phillyguntraining]

Extraordinarily helpful, clear and a huge help! Thank you so very much!!!!

[@jantherthepanther]

Informative video. Thanks a lot. I was just curious how to record my iphone conversations to my computer instead of skype using a very similar set-up (usb mixer, microphone, computer, etc) Thank you.

[@SarahFritts]

Hey! Thank you so much for your high quality video complete with line in and out pictures. They are very helpful. I was wondering, though....I have a new iMac so I don't have an audio out. You recommend the Griffin imic. Can I use the Behringer UCA222 instead? Do they do the same thing?

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thanks for watching Sarah. I hope to get some time to make some more vids, but super busy with my main podcast. Yah Sarah. Neither my iMac and MacBook pro have audio out. So, I just got two Griffin iMics and they work perfect. Here is an Amazon affiliate link if you choose to purchase: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BVV2IC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000BVV2IC&linkCode=as2&tag=lawabibik0a-20

[@SarahFritts]

Ryan Urlacher Thanks! That helps. I assume the iMic goes where the green and pink lines are in your video next to the computer. Also, if you provide an affiliate link to amazon of the cables I need, I will click on them. I notice you have shownotes embedded into youtube. It would be helpful to have active links in there to amazon. I am about to buy some equipment so as a way to help you out, I will wait until this evening to buy my stuff in the hopes you have time to provide those affiliate links. Also, I don't know what software you use, but do you only record onto the Roland or is there a way to record directly into Audition on the computer AND the external recorder. Thanks and Cheers!

[@bobjohnson2363]

Awesome video. How do I take phone calls with my cell phone. Most of the videos on youtube sand not correct. If you have time..

[@marcocarulli1663]

Great video. Question.I am using a laptop with Skype and a Behringer USB secondary sound card. The laptop only has a hadphones jack. How do I do a mix/minus with just a headphone hack?

[@RicardoMendesTalks]

Awesome tutorial. Very helpful and explanatory. Thank you for sharing

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thanks Ricardo for the feedback. Super glad it was helpful!!

[@TheSeanBampton]

I know this is a very old video, but it's so great in explaining (almost) everything. My only question is, why the dual 1/4" TS into the board from the 3.5 mm? Couldn't you go single 3.5 mm TRS to single 1/4" TRS? Many thanks for any help :)

[@screencastmagazine7144]

Awesome video, your a good teacher.. I need to know how to do the setup your using but I have the xenyx 802. can I still have the same setup with this mixer?

[@RyanUrlacher]

+screencast magazine I don't have any personal experience with that mixer. Sorry :-(

[@screencastmagazine7144]

+Ryan Urlacher thanks Ryan for answering my questions. I will be going ahead and purchasing a mackie 1202vlz. Will this do the job if I purchase your podcast training?

[@donleverette6835]

Never mind bro, I missed the Griffin recommendation at the beginning. thanks so much!

[@RyanUrlacher]

No prob

[@captainlou9677]

Can I use Guitar Cables at Main Out into my recorder?

[@charlesschlaudraff908]

Thanks, Ryan! Great detailed video that includes every step (unlike most others). I think I can do the same thing using a Scarlett 6i6 Audio Interface and its included MixControl software. I have an iRig 2 and plan on recording phone calls with iPhone for a Podcast. I think I can just create a separate mix for the callers so they do not hear their own voices. Person at Guitar Center said this is entirely possible, so I think it's a go. Thoughts?

[@RyanUrlacher]

***** Awesome and thanks for the feedback!

[@charlesschlaudraff908]

Ryan Urlacher Do you think what I've described will work?

[@mindlove]

I have a Mackie 1202 VLZ4 and it looks almost the same but with more channels BUT ALSO the aux part I'm supposed to turn all the way down has Aux 1 and Aux 2 knobs. Which do I turn down and why are their two?

[@jakenewlove1985]

Very helpful and explained everything which is great!

[@selfexpressionmusic]

Yeah but tracks aren't seperated?

[@ChefDecay]

My mixer is a mackie ProFX8v2 with a usb connection on the back. I also have a tascam DR-40 with a mini usb port. I fail to see any other input ports on the tascam. How do you suggest I connect the DR-40 PM recorder to the mixer?

[@Spoonhandle]

Thank you for the great video and especially for the diagram.

[@RyanUrlacher]

+SpoonHandle Super glad the video was helpful.

[@motorcityhypnotist6512]

Hey Ryan. Any chance you could explain the set up with the call coming into my I-phone 6 (rather than Skype) and using my computer for music/sound effects?

[@RobertLVideos]

Very informative! Thanks I'm wondering about cable brands that are good quality. Any suggestion on what brand(s) to go with?

[@ryanurlacher1553]

Glad you liked the video! I'd go with Mackie for certain. Solid and built very well. Work horses. Here are a couple of links (affiliate). No additional cost to you, but if you click through and purchase I get a small commission.

[@donleverette6835]

Awesome vid Ryan thanks! How do you run cable from computer to mixer and the mix minus back to computer if I only have 1 port on computer?

[@dharmadiner4169]

Ryan..can the main out go back into the laptop since i am using garage band?..can i use one laptop?

[@bacthanh2137]

* you are # 1 and the best. Many thanks, Sir*

[@atthedoop]

if I'm just doing VoIP, and no recording of any kind, couldnt I just plug the aux send into my line in?

[@daviesgreen1039]

You have a great tutorial but i am not sure if i am not doing it right or if its even possible to do a mix minus on a behringer 1204USB mixer.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Looked at the 1204 for you. Looks like it has what it needs to me.

[@daviesgreen1039]

I do not see a main out jack on mixer. Only a balanced xlr main out.

[@clmecca]

Awesome video. Question I'm using a Zoom H6 as my external recorder. Primarily I have my mic connected to one of the lines into the H6 and then my cohost through Skype on another Input. For mixing purposes is there a way to separate the same tracks coming through the mixer into the external recorder. For example my mic is considered one line my co-host line#2 soundboard as line#3 etc? Hope my question makes sense.

[@RyanUrlacher]

USB mixers allow for separate track recording, but not analog mixers.

[@anarchyradio6368]

Having a huge issue trying to use skype on remotes with my laptop that has an universal headphone/mic jack. We can't seem to get the mic mix from the board into my pc and into skype. I've adjusted the skype mic settings, but for some reason nothing seems to work! Any suggestions or advice? Can't seem to get the stereo mic mix to work and not the microphone built into my laptop.

[@ryancouncil6318]

This was very informative. Thank you.

[@RyanUrlacher]

You're very welcome and thanks for the feedback.

[@MiketheWineGuy]

hey Ryan, thanks for the mix minus tutorial. it helped to clarify the complexity of all the inputs & outputs. I know each setup is "slightly" different, but 2 quick questions... (1) do I need 2 sound cards to make this work & (2) do I need to make any sound setting adjustments to either my Windows laptop or my Skype account. I got everything set up as per your video, but could not hear my guest. running your setup thru my Behringer Q802 mixer & monitering output thru my Tascam DR-40 recorder. Thanks man!

[@KyleDempster]

Hi +ryan urlacher, just got into some serious mixer setup thanks to your videos. I just bought the mackie profx 12v2. I noticed it doesn't have an AUX Send, but I thought I could do a mix minus using the FX send. The FX send doesn't seem to send anything for me. Any tips or should I look into a different mixer?

[@RyanUrlacher]

+Kyle Dempster I'd look for a mixer with Aux sends for sure. It is the easiest way to get the mix minus your looking for.

[@texassportsconsulting9397]

Not sure if this has been answered already, so I apologize if it has. I have the Behringer Xenyx 892 mixer and my Stereo Aux Return has a L & R port, instead of just one like your Aux Send has. Would I just need to hook up another 1/8" TRS to 1/4" TS (x2) cable to send the Skype back to the computer?

[@RyanUrlacher]

Texas Sports Consulting I would hate to steer you wrong. I have no personal experience with the Xenys 8932 mixer..Sorry

[@smallscalelife]

Really nicely done. This clarified a lot for me. I have lost audio on 2 podcasts just using Skype and Audacity on my computer, so it is time to use my Roland recorder on these interviews. I am done losing audio. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, and I am an idiot. Anyway, this was a great tutorial, and I learned a lot. Question: you show two different mixers on this tutorial. Seems like the second one has more options. Would you recommend the second mixer over the first?

[@RyanUrlacher]

Both great mixers for sure. It all depends on what your going to do and how many inputs your going to use etc....For 99% of podcasters this mixer would be just perfect and have room to grow. This is the one I've used for years now. amzn.to/2der5zL

[@BillConradConsultant]

Can I still use Sound recorder recording off my MAC?

[@RyanUrlacher]

I record into my external recorder and also on "Call Recorder" on my MAC. That way I have two devices recording as a backup.

[@WCWMidnight]

Thanks for responding to our post about your videos. However, the link you sent does NOT show the HOW TO PODCAST video series you mentioned. Do you still have those?

[@michaelslack2801]

Hey bro Ryan two things sir. 1...Awesome vid! Thank you for the post very very helpful. 2...I have a Behringer MDX 2100 that I picked up off of ebay last year real cheap (Yes it works) but I haven't really gotten around to figuring out how to use it yet. Will your MDX 4600 video tell me what I need to do with my 2100 by chance? Thank you for your time sir I do look forward to hearing from you...In closing once again killer video well done!

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thanks Michael! Super glad you found it useful. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the 2100, so I'm not certain. Sorry for that

[@michaelslack2801]

Ryan Urlacher Not a problem my brother. Folks that know me will tell ya I'm like a bloodhound in many regards...I don't give up and I'm not afraid to ask questions. I will be checking out your content. I have no doubt there is something there that I can learn. May I express to you a hearty "Thank you!" for your timely response. Keep up the fine work sir and before I forget...are you related to the Bears (former) linebacker Brian Urlacher by chance? I'm in Roswell NM, and Brian Urlacher is also from this state oh and btw I'm not a Bears fan per se' (lol) actually I'm from the OAKLAND bayarea...you figure it out ha ha. Thank you for your time. I will be in touch...

Podcast Mix Minus | Complete Tutorial on How to Set Up & Record Mix Minus Skype How to set up and record using a mix minus: This is a complete tutorial video on how to set up, use and record a mix minus in a podcast/broadcast type environment. AFFILIATE LINK: Please consider using my Amazon affiliate link to purchase any items if this free information and video were helpful to you. If you are a podcaster of into broadcast media of any kind then there will come a time when you want to record an interview via Skype or another online service. Most of us podcasters use a mixer of some kind. I use a Mackie 1202-VLZ4 right now in my podcast studio. I have always used Mackie mixers for podcasting and have nothing but great things to say about them. If you are using a mixer and going to record an interview then you will want to set up a mix minus. If you don't, then the person on the other end of Skype will get a loop back and hear their own voice and it will likely be delayed. This is extremely annoying and it is very hard to keep your train of thought, so get rid of the loop back with a mix minus. Setting up a mix minus is very easy once you watch the above free tutorial video. I also provided you with adiagram (below) of how to set up a mix minus for your future reference. It is the same diagram I use in the video. Simply put, you are sending the person on the other end of Skype your entire mix, minus their own voice using the "aux send" out port and turning the "aux" knob for that particular channel strip off on your mixer. Your mix includes your mic inputs, Skype/computer conversation input, and another device such as an iPad or computer for your music input if you like. You then run a 1//8 inch TRS to 1/4 inch TS cable from you mixer out of the "aux send" port back into the 1/8 inch TRS (3.5 mm input jack) on your computer. All you have to do then is turn the "aux" knob on the channel strip your Skype conversation is on counter-clockwise until it is off. Boom, you have a mix minus. If this doesn't make much sense I guarantee it will when you watch the video. Griffin iMic PodcastAFFILIATE LINK: Many newer computers only come withe a 3.5mm headphone jack out and not a 3.5mm input jack and you will need both for a mix minus podcast interview. To accomplish this I suggest you purchase a Griffin iMic, which connects to your computer via USB and then has both a 3.5 mm output and input jack. Minimum items you will need for a mix minus: Computer/Skype 1/8 inch TRS to dual 1/4 inch TS cable (computer to mixer)(a second cable if you are going to hook up another input device such as and iPad for music) 1/8 inch TRS to 1/4 inch TS cable (mixer back to your computer via the "aux send" port) Griffin iMic (if you computer doesn't have both a 3.5 mm output and input jack) Additional: I always record into an external recording device and I use the Roland R-05 Digital Recorder. I prefer this over recording back into another computer using Garage Band or Audacity. Some podcasters do it this way, but I explain in my complete "Learn to Podcast" video tutorial series why that may not be such a good idea.

A Skype caller can't hear music that's played on the pc? Is there a way to fix this? Podcast decks are phenomenal for sfx and music but if they guest can't hear it? I use a Yamaha Mg10ux

[@hermenautas5031]

HELLO, I LIKE YOUR VIDEO, BUT IM HAVING A PROBLEM. WHEN I CONNECT MY IPAD, I CAN HEAR THE AUDIO THAT GOES OUT FROM IT ON MY HEADPHONES ON THE MIXER, BUT WHEN I TRY TO RECORD IT ON MY LAPTOP IT DOES NOT RECORD THE AUDIO FROM THE IPAD ONLY THE ONE FROM THE MIC. CAN YOU HELP ME'?

[@JavierDiaz619]

I podcast using streaker off of my iPad and or smartphone. Can we still do that using the mixer?

[@RyanUrlacher]

Never used streaker. I do use my mixer and stream via Mixlr in the past. Now I do everything on Blab through my mixer into my computer.

[@jpierson7181]

Help! I tried running a set up like this and my guests (via hangouts or skype) can hear the music but as soon as they talk, the music fades, swells and becomes muddy for them. How do I stop this from happening???

[@RyanUrlacher]

+Jaime Pierson Very typical for that to happen. Nothing can realy be done about it. When using Skype or G hangouts music over voice can sound bad to others on the other end.

[@rachelteasley5044]

am I missing something? my Dell has only 1, 3.5mm headphone jack and I'm using u.s.b. for my in and out signal , "music production " into audacity , my berringerq802 xenyx, some reason can't hear tracks in headphones on mixer, no tutorials for my situation, no eye cue I imagine

[@michaelslack2801]

Forgot to mention I have the "Made in the USA" Mackie 12 channel Micro series 1202 Mackie mixer. On a real tight budget here and picked this up on ebay for 80 bucks with free shipping. Also using a Zoom H2 for my recording...any thoughts on cables? Have a great day sir and keep up the fine work! Michael.

[@RyanUrlacher]

The cables I show in this video are exactly what you will need for the hookup. You'll need a Dual 1/4" TS to 1/8" TRS (3.5mm) to go from your mixer output into the Zoom. XLR mic cables of course to go into your mixer from you mic. You will need to go into your mixer from your computer with the sameDual "TS to 1/8" TRS (3.5mm). Just depends on how many mics and inputs/outputs you will have. Hope this helps. Here are some ideas and reasonable price. These are the exact cables I use. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068O3C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000068O3C&linkCode=as2&tag=youhitecred-20 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068O1P/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000068O1P&linkCode=as2&tag=youhitecred-20 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PAOMSY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002PAOMSY&linkCode=as2&tag=youhitecred-20

[@cnationchannel39]

Thank you for this video. Very useful. So, here's what's not working for me: caller cannot hear my audio unless I speak directly into the mic on my Galaxy s7. Every cable I use works. My mic on chan 1 works. FX Send works. Caller audio on 3/4 works. Killing FX return on 3/4 works. TRRS splitter on phone works. Everything works just like it should work with that one small exception: caller cannot hear me unless I speaking into the phone. What am I missing? EDIT: Upon further research, I've discovered this might be an OMTP vs CTIA issue. Ordering a CTIA splitter now. Will let you know!

[@ghostheadnow9628]

your laptop has an input?? mac??

[@im-un-fragile]

Thanks Ryan for the great vid. The best one I've seen so far to explain the mix minus process. I have a quick question though - I have a Mackie 402VLZ4 mixer and what I'm trying to set up in my voice over studio is a way to use Skype as a phone patch so I can have directed sessions. Everything I've set up so far works great except two things (I think!) - 1) How (if possible with the 402) do I have the Skype input (the VO directions) on a separate channel using the "stereo pan" function? The idea is to not have a take ruined if the session director coughs or something in their background is noisy while I'm talking as I wouldn't be able to edit that out. 2) Is there a mix minus workaround if the mixer doesn't have a Aux Send? Thanks again for the great video and hope you can help. Cheers!

[@RyanUrlacher]

There are mixers that have a usb out that can record multi multi channel, but the one you have does not have that capability. That would be my suggestion so each audio is on a separate track.

[@michaelslack2801]

Hello Ryan how are ya today? I just subscribed to you and I'm looking forward to some awesome info. I have a question sir. A friend of mine gave me two perfectly good Dell OptiPlex putters (The old flat gray ones) they work just fine and can carry a Skype load while surfing believe it or not. What I plan on doing is to run each one with there own channel on my Mackie mixer so I can have a Guest caller and a listener caller lines. Using additional sound cards is confusing to me and my buddy says I can do the same thing with additional putters...your thoughts sir.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Boy, I will try to help. I think I know what you are describing. If you wan't to have more than one Skype caller you can do so. There are other options like Google Hangouts and some others where you can have multiple persons on the same call.

I have a Mackie 802vlz4. Everything pretty much looks the same as the 802vlz3. Here's my question. I have a Zoom h5. I'll be using just one mic in my set up, not 3. And I'll be making use of the mix minus setup as you've described to record a Skype caller. In the Zoom h5, you have two recording options, namely, stereo or multi. Which should I use? My plan is to edit the interview in post production using garageband, etc. BTW, do you use wav or convert to mp3? I have a mac for editing purposes. Thanks.

[@RyanUrlacher]

+CuteMonster I always record in .wav for the best quality. After post edit I convert to mp3 and upload to my audio media hosting service. Honestly, I have never used the zoom H5, so I am not familiar with the settings etc. I use the Roland R05 and back up to a Tascam DR-60 at the same time. Those I am familiar with.

Great stuff!!! I am setting up my audio studio and am having some trouble. I watched your videos on youtube and thought they were great. Here is my specific issue: I have my mix minus set up. Everything works but the audio from skype is terribly "hot". I have all my levels on the mixing board turned way down and when i send it to my other computer and into adobe audition it is terribly hot. But because I have the levels turned down so low on my board I can hardly hear it through my headset even though it is blowing up my levels in adobe audition. What advice can you give me....I am trying to get as good of quality interviews as I can. My audio by the way through the board is quite good and has not been an issue at all. tried turning the volume down to 50% on the skype computer and still does not work...If you could assist me would be greatly appreciated.

[@RyanUrlacher]

+Jeff Tigger Erhardt Super glad you liked the videos Jeff. So many things to address. It is another computer with Skype going into the mixer. If so, make sure the output levels are down a bit on that device. Also, the computer with Audition you are going into may need the "input" levels in settings turned down. A few things to try. If you need one on one consulting (fee) you can hit me up at www.yourhitechredneck.com/contact & we can see if we can find a time.

[@RFLMX]

how are you supposed to hear the person on skype if you have those cables in the outputs of the laptop?

[@RyanUrlacher]

Just set it up how the video shows and you'll see how it all works and sounds. This is how it's done

[@RFLMX]

i m using a behringer xenyx Q802 USB mixer and I have someone skype. My issue is when I have the TRS cable which is on the 5/6 channel hooked up to my phone the person on skype can t hear what i m playing on the 5.6 channel

[@RFLMX]

They can hear me on my mic and I can hear them on the channel they are on which is 3/4

[@BravingTheOutDoors]

I'm from the UK What's the cheapest, simplest, mixer I can get that will do the job for a podcats of two people from different countries using skype? We already have mics and an external recorder but no mixer

[@RyanUrlacher]

I'll refer you to Ray Ortega over at The Podcaster's Studio. He did a great test on sub $100 mixers for podcasting. Here is the link: thepodcastersstudio.com/sub-100-mixers-shootout/
