Here's a small mixing desk, and a description of its basic features, and how to use them.
Old mixing desks are useful bits of kit - generally tough and maintenance free since the smoking ban (they don't generally like pints of Guinness over them though...)
0:00 - intro
0:48 - plugging a mic in
1:17 - adding EQ
1:51 - setting up the channel
2:41 - adjusting gain (or input level or trim)
4:21 - panning
4:34 - "ONE, TWO" - why is that phrase used to check a mic?
5:01 - adding reverb
6:10 - line inputs (as opposed to mic inputs)
7:57 - using a dedicated input for piped music at a gig
8:40 - signal flow and busses
Learning about advanced features of mixing desks are relaitvely straightforward if you're aware of the basics, and most importantly, signal flow.
Enjoy, and I hope it's of help!
