4 years ago, when I started I was in a full panic mode and couldn't find anything useful to help me understand the sound better, having these videos would be awesome, but now it's also pretty cool to watch them to make sure I'm not being dumb somewhere, thanks!

@rajivpsaini 2 года назад

Cannot say how much good you are in teaching 👍👍👍. Calm, precise and to the point. Love it. Appreciate it.

@willieburks7251 Год назад

Very helpful video. I’m new to running sound and was having problems with feedback. This video gave me a complete breakdown on how to use a mixer proper. The unity levels on the slides helped me out a lot. Something I didn’t know.

@GeoZero 2 года назад

Very clear and concise video. On the Allen & Heath mixers (larger GL2400, GL2800, etc) you have to open the chassis to get to the direct out jumpers otherwise the faders will not change volume on the board in a recording situation per channel. I think that is a huge issue with their mixers and not something I had using say a Soundcraft LX7. I realize that they were designed primarily for live applications and live recording, but adding a button per channel would sure have helped. :)

@alexkingvideo 2 года назад

Yeah, honestly man you’re one of the most talented teachers I’ve ever witnessed. Please keep doing this.

@AudioUniversity 2 года назад

Thank you, Alexander! I really appreciate that.

@vickigsolomon1241 2 года назад

Outstanding! I wish I had found this channel BEFORE our performance. I rented a mixer because I've only got a 2-channel input on my DAI. I didn't quite know enough to make things sound good.

@Fabsurf101 2 года назад

Kyle, your explanation of the audio recording engineering process is most systematic and elucidating. The last video with the shotgun mic was also so helpful. As a hobbyist in music and photography, I find myself getting fascinating information to help me to explore the subject. So thank you very much!

@AudioUniversity 2 года назад

Thanks for watching, Sunny! I'm glad to hear this.

@Fabsurf101 2 года назад

Being an old fellow, I listened to all genres of music and love songwriters and recording artists from the 30s to 80s. My favourite would be the wrecking crew, George Martin and the Beach Boys etc. So I appreciate all the recording engineering requires to give us such memorable soundtracks of our lives. Your teaching of the subject is the one I always wonder about but am afraid to ask, for I wouldn't know where to even begin. So thanks again.

@Jhinz1 2 года назад

Thnx for the clear teaching. It is long time ago that I worked with mixer concoles. You gave me a good boost to remember it all again.

@SeanMcAnarney Год назад

Thank you! Just volunteered for AV guy at my church... I know your teaching will be a massive help to me / my little church.

@mandolinic 3 месяца назад

Very clear and most useful. I've used small mixers in the past, but they've generally lacked the facilities of a large mixer, so having everything explained in detail is really handy.

@dusannedeljkovic3318 7 месяцев назад

@rocketrollsvlogs7625 2 года назад

@junkawakami3193 2 года назад

speaking of loudness, setting it up on the amplifier instead of cranking the master fader is gold!

@AudioUniversity 2 года назад

Thanks! Glad to hear that!

@DanielDunn1222Music 27 дней назад

Exactly the kind of tutorial for beginner yet determined level people like myself. I'd love to see a video like this explaining how everything works plugged into that at a live show with different scenarios. I'm bootstrapping now though I'd pay a lot for that later for helping me learn what I need to for IATSE work I'll eventually be doing mixing sound live! And of course recording my future band tracks for albums. This is the very first video and time finding your channel, can't wait to learn more! Thank you.

@TomCee53 2 года назад

You’ve done a good job of explaining this mixer. It was a little quick, and you might have rushed though the terminology, but that’s just my opinion. The only technical comment I have is on your description of logarithmic scale on the faders. The reason for logarithmic vs linear is that our ears work in a logarithmic manner, meaning that from a dB standpoint, each dB of change sounds the same to us. The apparent change from -10 to -9 is the same as 1 to 2.

@JUSTO33344 2 года назад

I was about to comment about the same thing but your words describe it perfectly lol

@simon-d-m 2 года назад

That is true but irrelevant in this context. He is spot-on about working faders as close to "normal stop" (unity gain) as possible. Whenever I see a 1/3-open fader at a gig, I know the mixer hasn't got full control of the mix. It's very common and also indicates either ignorance or poor training. There is an idea called the "straight-line balance", meaning that when the balance is right to the ear, all the faders line up across the mixer, at normal-stop. Obviously you never "set and forget" but adjust all the time, but I worked with many superb mixers (people!) down the years, and the very best aimed for this. The other thing is that many desks (and mic inputs to other stuff) have gain in steps, not continuously variable ("thinking of you, Neve!), so you cannot mix on the gain presets, and they can also be a pain when setting up stereo pairs.

@oliviersadoulet337 Год назад

dB is already a logarithmic scale, the reason faders aren't linears is you can't have 3 meters long faders.

@davidscanlan Год назад

Awesome video! I always wondered how inserts worked... One comment, at 6:55. For studio mixing, I've always taken the opposite approach, where I keep the monitors at a higher volume and send less signal. I've found this gives less distortion since the speakers have all the power they need. It does probably mean a lower signal/noise ratio though.

@oliviersadoulet337 Год назад

most "serious" analog amp work best at max power so it doesn't surprise me.
