@@AttawayAudio so I am getting a 16 channel mixer for my church and wanted some guidance in hooking it up need to know if I should get an amplifier too im using like about 6 mics key broad base guitar and drum set
Dear sir, you are great in explanation!!!! I need to know that I have a ground loop (Hum) of my guitar amplifier when infixed to the electric guitar. To eliminate the noise, is it possible to setup DI box in between Amp and guitar??? Thanks
so I just got an alto live 2404 and using a cymatic track for 24 I/o but the mix sound super muddy compared to when I produced it. I have all the stereo channels panel to each side etc and it still doesn't sound the same. Please help!
Dear Sir, I have an unclear point about 1/4 inch input jack connectors in mixing console. I want to know that whether we're can plug TS or TRS jacks? I need to clear out that these input are always mono???? If the 1/4 inch input connectors are mono, how can we plug stereo jack( if we need to fix a keyboard how can we use one channel??? Or need to use 2 channels to get the stereo picture???) I haven't seen plenty stereo inputs in console in general.
If you have a parallel output on the monitor, or if you have two outputs on your power amplifier for your monitor, yes, you can run them off the same auxiliary send.
Dear Sir, I want to know if I set the gain in right way, when I am setting Low shelf and High shelf of EQ, the volume meter goes more than unity gain. So should I set the gain back aftert set tye EQ????? Thanks
It’s likely that your console has enough headroom for your boosts on the EQ, but keep a close ear on it, and if you hear distortion, you can back down your preamp some.
please, I want to ask. if i have a personal monitor mixer behringer p16 and i have an analog mixer but i do not have a direct out . So what should I do ? and i have 2 aux only
If you have an insert, you can use a cable and "half patch" it to hack a direct out. Just don't push in the cable all the way, or you'll break the signal and get nothing to FOH
Well any mic is better than no mic. So yeah, a SM57 or 58 is going to work fine for some ambiance and room feeling for in-ear monitors. If you're wanting to get a really specific crowd sound for a broadcast mix, shotgun mics are king, especially if you can get them up high pointed toward the middle of the crowd, so that they're not just picking up the 4 people in the front row directly in front of them. Does that answer your question?
Hi i have a question, is it advisable to connect your small 12 channel mixer to a UPS? if so, what size UPS do you recommend? (VA). I have a Mackie 1202 vlz3 and one jbl eon 615 1000W active speaker. Thanks!!
I think a really nice power conditioner would be more beneficial than a UPS, unless your power browns out frequently. A UPS is really so you can save your work on a computer before shutting down, which doesn’t really happen on an analog console (the knobs stay RIGHT where you leave them when they power off suddenly 😂)
@@AttawayAudio thanks for your response! I did some research and came to that exact conclusion! i ended up getting a really nice furman m8x2. that should do it. thanks!!
You’d need an analog splitter to “clone” the mic inputs before they get to the digital console. We do this in the 24/7 prayer room at IHOPKC in case we need to update or reboot the SSL digital console
@@AttawayAudio I'm looking into buying a new mixer with 16 channels. What's a good option? I need to be able to send signal to monitors and speakers as well. Currently I'm using an old Yamaha 12 channels but I'm not happy with it at all. I can't figure out how to setup the gains for this one. Also can you put together the mono channels to have a stereo sound. I just couldn't figure out how to do it. Or how to put 2 instruments on them but one on L and one on R. I can hear both of them on L only.
@@esingerean putting different instruments on a single stereo channel is tricky. For little analog mixers, I like the Yamaha ones that have the one-knob compressor built-in. Just make sure you get enough preamps for the number of inputs you need, not just the total number of channels, which usually includes line inputs.
You’d need an audio interface with line inputs for all the channels you want to record, and connect that to the direct output jack. If you don’t have a direct output, you can “hack” it by using the insert jack but not seating it all the way, so it doesn’t break the connection inside the console. It’s unbalanced, but it does work!
