Learn what all the knobs do an audio console in less time than it takes your drummer to set up his hi-hat (assuming he got there on time).
You probably learned live audio on the job with little formal training. I applaud you for diving in and simply "figuring things out", but sometimes this approach can leave cracks in your audio foundation. You've read, googled, or asked a colleague for the information you need to know in the moment to get things done. Nothing wrong with that!
However, sometimes it's good to start back at square one, and if you're there now, you're in great company. Much of the training out there assumes you have some audio experience and leaves you in the dust with advanced vocabulary and inside baseball. None of that today - I'll introduce concepts slowly and one at a time, giving them context as I go.
Today we'll cover the analog mixing console, the core piece of equipment in any audio gig. Knowing how to operate this with confidence gives you the key concepts understand the rest of the audio system (mics, speakers, etc.)
Let's jump in.

Would love to see a version on a digital console like the x32, and incorporating some things you always get with digital (compression, busses/subgroups, etc)
Hey there michael! I would love to ask for a video showing and explaining how to tune a soundsystem within a place like a pub or bar where the speaker placements really arent ideal, and you need to deal with peoblems such as windows, noise escaping and what can and cannot be done in situations like that! I think it would also show something i find lacking within your videos (not in a bad way) but how would you go about measuring a system with multiple speakers placed differently playing the same signal, and how can you identify problems with a setup like that rather than always just measuring on axis with a main hang or one left right system 👍 Otherwise amazing work, ive learned so much from you and i cannot wait to learn much more! Gonna be uploading a bunch of traces from any speaker i can get my hands on aswell! 💪
I am definitely going to use this video for training purposes 😁 thanks so much Michael
You constantly put out great content and are one of the best teachers I’ve seen in a while. Keep up the great work, Michael!
Great video! Incredibly useful and concise. Bookmarked for helping teach others in the future 👍👍
Excellent video as an introduction to mixing! Sharing with all the appys right now!
Great video for beginners, would have loved this when I first started out. You should do a digital mixer like the Yamaha or DigiCo next, they're a lot of fun to unpack :)
Nice introduction video Michael! What I wonder is, how do you get separate signals of your recording for each channel? It's great way for practice if you have multitrack recording on your computer.
my thing ive been struggling with lately is moving from stereo outs to mono outs, and pan settings..
Untuk monitor apakah harus pre feder,terimah kasih
That's a very handful video for beginners!!!Of course, I would like it to be in Russian for my beginner friends who do not understand the video in English..🗿

Just got it fixed! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I was puzzled as to why they weren't pulling in and that answer it.
Stereo to digital
I can dial in a rock band in the fly in under 3 tunes, analog world warm, fat world, everything at your fingertips at birds eye view! Now harsh slow poking thru layers is a different pain. Logically, let's open up 10 ipads.

I can dial in a band in one song on a tablet. So what’s your point? It’s all about how comfortable you become with the tools you have. I am waaay slower on an actual console than a tablet and I can have FOH setup and broke down in seconds compared to an actual console and it weighs less than a pound to carry not to mention it takes up way less space.
