Hi, Pls assist. I just bought the Mackie pro fx 1 2v3 The usb connection from my MacBook Pro only works through control room and headphones but won’t work with main outs. Listened to your great tutorial but didn’t hear much about the usb connection. Thanks.
I don't have a Mackie mixer but a Behringer and you explained this better than anyone else I've searched. Even people that had the same mixer as I couldn't make me understand. Great job!
It is cool how similar concepts can be from skill to skill; a "bus" is like a nested clip (premiere pro) or a compound clip (davinci resolve), or a group in illustrator/photoshop or a smart object in photoshop. A bus is a composite of individual signals which can then be adjusted or effected as a group. I guess the difference here is that the hardware itself determines how many busses, or groups, there are, and to some degree, what goes into them.
@@joelsamthomas816 The similar way of thinking applies to various types control for audio or video. Putting several items into one bucket and then adjusting the bucket in order to adjust everything in that bucket. I was saying many types of controls/editing use the same concept: grouping individual items together and then adjusting the whole group, rather than each independent item. I hope your day is amazing. And Jesus loves you!
This video was eye opening and gave a lot of information I had wanted to know. Music recordings and concerts will never be the same now that I have this knowledge. I knew it was a complicated process; however, like many things, I had no idea how deep that rabbit hole went. Thank you!
Jeez .. . . . Mitch sure gets down to business . . . . . pronto ! ! I went in to this with a lot of questions; came out thinking about buying one of these. Way to go Mitch ! !
Great review! Question? I have a Yamaha MG 166cx. For some reason, when I plug microphones in, they are always on. And it doesn’t matter if I push the on off button, the microphone stays on. But, I can turn the sound off with the PFL button. Also, the faders don’t turn the volume up or down, I can only control the volume with the master. Do you know what this means?
Now if you wanted to run a guitar or bass from your amp into your mixer into your PA system would you mix up the amp and then plug the mic into the mixer?
It is a mono signal however he is sending the signal to the main left & right speakers via the LR button. This will come out of both speakers equally then you can use the pan knob to put more of the signal through the left or right speaker however suits.
I have a American audio dcd pro 310 rack mount dual cd player, can I connect this to the Mackie mixer and channel fade songs from one cd to the next cd
Hey, Roger. Good question! If you have a mixer with two stereo inputs like the Mackie Mix8 you could manually adjust the knobs to do a cross fade: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Mix8--mackie-mix8-8-channel-compact-mixer A better way to do this is to use a two channel DJ mixer like the Allen & Heath Xone:23, which gives you one fader to fade between the CD signals as well as discreet way to monitor the channel before switching so that you can make sure the right song is playing: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Xone23--allen-and-heath-xone23-22-dj-mixer Give me a ring if you have further questions.

Hello. Can you tell me what USB mixers has already an audio interface integrated in it and I won't need to buy a separate piece of hardware like focusrite? Please somebody help me with this! I want to be able to use it with my xlr mic and also with my headphones at home for livestreams or other things
I can recommend the Peavey PV6 BT. It has USB out and is already interfaced. This means you only will get two tracks in your DAW, but it's worth the price of only about $160.00.
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
Great video Mitch. You are a professional to the inth degree. Love your work. I enjoyed watching this video. I have the Mixer basics down, but your video is great to refresh us on the in and outs of a mixer, or a great primer for the first time user. Again Great video!
Anyone want to mix the following song for myself? The name of the song is "magician man behind the curtain". The lyrics are the following: boom shakalaka laka boom shakalaka laka boom shakalaka laka boom!!!! Allah Allah Allah ka boom!!! Allah Allah Allah boom!!! kaboom!!! moomba!!!!! mooba!!!!! kaboom!!!!! It's needs a " magi
What an amazing video tutorial. Mitch Gallagher is highly efficient and skilled at presenting tech and user info. Whenever you see a video authored by him...stop and tune in. You will learn. This 12 minute video is a perfect example of how his every word means something important and no fluff. It is like this with every video he does. Someone else would take an hour to do what he does in 12 minutes. Thank you, Mitch, for your superb teachings. I am a fan! :)
Thank you so much Mitch and Sweetwater. We are in the early formation stages of our band, just writing & playing music. We have not made it to this step yet but know we need to get to this point. This was certainly an intimidating subject but you've made it clear and catered to my level understanding. Keep those learning videos come. I/we really do appreciate it.
I had a big ambition and bought Avid S3 together with I dock... There is so little information about how to use those gears together so I don't use them at all (yet). Maybe it was a mistake. I am a musician and I try to progress learning a lot of music tech. But most tutorials are for people that already know most of it. This one was very informative and grounded. Moore of that!! Thank's
This device (and the guy operating it) is what created 99.9 percent of "stars" A lot of singers dont know how to sing live so thats when this device comes in By manipulating the sounds you can correct all the "bad" parts of it and make it sound great Nobody ever gives credit to the board guy and thats very sad.
Great video , when you pan a stereo sound into 2 channels, you have to perform every action on both channels precisely to have the same result on every channel. to avoid this i know i can use the stereo input channels. the problem that i have is, i have too many hardware synths and drum machines where i run out of stereo inputs. how can i solve this problem without using the panning option?
I very recently purchased this exact same mixer. This tutorial is very well done. Both your language and visual demonstrations are full of clarity which help simplify a rather complex concept; audio engineering. Thank you for this great video! Cheers
I have recently been recruited to assist in our church audio and visual group. Upon first interaction with the audio mixer board I was instantly intimidated. Thanks to your video tutorial I better understand the fundamentals of audio mixer board and more comfortable with the device. Thanks for such a great video for understanding the fundamentals and allowing me to better participate and provide a positive experience. Will be following for more understanding and learning, again thanks for a great video.
I have the Mackie Onyx12 with built in Bluetooth, SD card slot and FX. seems like it may be a better and more versatile mixer would you say? But your lesson with this model is great for me as a brush-up, because it's very similar to mine.
Hello everyone! I'm new to the channel and the subject and just had a couple of easy question anyone please feel free to answer! I've been practicing the Law of Attraction for awhile now and would like to make positive affirmation subliminal music? Meaning I'd like to record my voice underneath music (very very very low) saying things like I AM HEALTHY, I AM LOVE, I AM POSITIVE AND ETC then place the music or calming sound music over those positive affirmations. If these audio mixer are able to do this, can you please recommend the bare minimum that I would need. My intentions is to go with a 4 channel audio mixer, then what else is needed? Condenser or Dynamic mics? The mixer would strictly be used for making subliminals and not DJing! I'd would like to thank you in advance, thanks! BB
Can you please do a video or direct me to a video by Sweetwater for using a mixer for using with an in ear monitor. I just purchase a Behringer Powered Speaker. It does not allow for an in ear monitor being use. I needed it more for a MP3 player and two mic use for small venues. Thank you
I guess it’s no different then AI. Looks like alot of manipulation of sound, some of it artificial from the get go. It appears that you don’t have to be a very talented musician, singer after you get through the artificial manipulation. So, after watching this video, why is Sheryl Crow so upset?
Excellent well explained video. We need him to do a synth video, for, most synth explanation videos are often not very well explained, as they are explained from a perspective that assumes previous experience and knowledge He did lose me once he got to creating busses, though
Yes it is so helpful but as a professional recording how to give connection in the digital mixing Console like O2R , SSL etc or 24 channel analog mixture , and how to connect the sound card like MOTU , Apollo etc which is 24 in and out sound card . How to connect with computer and atlast the aux send effect to the head phone can any one share it plz ...
