Incredible video! Learned more in 20 minutes than I have in 10 years playing shows

@andrewildschutz5356 Год назад

I hope that you are not working in this environment, because it shouldn’t take long to understand the basic principal and to set it up.

@andrewildschutz5356 Год назад

@UCjaf0CxnYIk-nqfB8WBcHhw I’m just talking about the reality in our society. We don’t have time to teach for 10 years to learn that. I also liked the video and it’s pretty straightforward which is really good. You also don’t know me to judge me if I know everything better. It’s not my character and I do work in that environment. Just where i live, it’s not allowed to work if you don’t have any degree in it. Ideally bachelor/ master as audio engineer or apprenticeship as an audiovisual technician which takes up to 3-4 years. Many neighbouring countries don’t require any diplomas and the majority of the countries do whatever they see fit in creative studies. So complicated sometimes. However, I wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for 2023 👌

God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen! God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen! God bless you all, I will keep you in my prayers!

I have to agree with the majority. This is such an informative video and presented/edited perfectly for a concise and understandable demonstration of a basic live setup. I’m glad that it has given people confidence to setup there own gear. It is rare to see such information delivered this way on RU-vid so well done for achieving it.

@owensingh29 Год назад

Thank you so much for a great presentation sir...I now know where I was going wrong.

@jbass_1993 Год назад

I've been playing bass in bands for years but I've always been terrified to do any of this. I just ordered my own system so I could do sound, and this video made me feel a lot better. Thank you so much. This is well done

@MichaelBaeronPhoto 9 месяцев назад

What an absolute gem of a guy. Probably the best instructional video I've ever watched. Well done Sir!

@gabrielrangel4041 Год назад

Literally the most informative video I've ever seen and been watching RU-vid for 18 years 😄 thank you so much!!!

@icicilfonseka1462 2 года назад

Explained a complex subject in a clear easy to understand and organised way. Well done mate. Keep up the good work. I learned a lot in 20 minutes.

@rccghouseofpraisehampton4910 Год назад

Wow! This is the most detailed and most educating video I have watched on setting up PA system.....You are a professor on this. Thanks for this exceptional presentation/teaching.

@caferive Год назад

Well, I have watched a countless number of YT videos on setting up PA systems and in particular using a mixer desk properly and this is the best by a mile that I have seen. No jargon, just logical, practical and systematic processes made simple, thank you

@MRVIDEOMASTER-yw1qw Год назад

@SavedPulley Год назад

Wonderfully done God bless you my brother in Jesus's Name!

@Sergio-yi8od 2 года назад

Amazingly well done, the info straight forward but explained in a very understandable way. Thank you

@abigailmotsomi7305 2 года назад

Best explanation of PA system setup I've ever come across. I know zilch about sound quality, components and preparation. Yet after listening to this I can definitely make a correct and well informed effort in setting up sound system. Thanks

@nowhearthis5067 8 месяцев назад

Finally, a well constructed and informative video on mixers. I've searched for something like this for the last 2 years. So glad I caught up with it.

@Yellowjacket1977 Год назад

Very good video! I've been a sound tech for 45 years. You have explained the basics very clearly! For our 7-piece band, especially on a smaller stage, we use a single floor monitor in front of the lead vocalists/piano player in Aux 1, and 2 side-fill monitors on a tripod stand for the band from Aux 2. That seems to cover the stage for us rather nicely.

@wilnewyork1 Год назад

Imagine your explanation, he doesn't have 45 years of experience...

@Rahulnpx Год назад

Amazing clarity and simplicity in this packed educational video. Please keep up the good work ☺️ !!!

@suchdeep8583 Год назад

@fernandofuentes6924 Год назад

@billedwards2385 Год назад

Excellent Tutorial ,, as a beginner i learned more than any other method. Thank you very much.

@in2gadgets 2 года назад

Wonderful video, mate - I am more versed with some of these principles when I'm doing home recording, but should I ever have to get involved with live work, this is the first one I'll come back to. Thanks so much!!

@marypetrie930 11 месяцев назад

A brilliant explanation. Best I have seen on youtube.

@Bassynater2500 Год назад

Incredibly informed video that’s laid out in a way that just about anyone can understand! I really appreciate this video, I’m in the process of getting PA’s and some stuff for my keyboard set up at shows. I have an AKAI MPC KEY 61 and I make beats with a singer as well so I need speakers with a full response range and be able to kick some sounds out as well! Your setup tips for placing PA’s makes so much sense and have played countless bars that almost set up the entire opposite design that you have and I hear constant feedback and issues with tone from the speakers. Greatly appreciate this tutorial!!

@abelduenas987 2 года назад

Usually the problem with subs on each side of the stage creates a power alley and bass cancelation in the middle of the room. It’s much better to place a couple of subs centered in front of the stage in cardioid mode
