Thanks for the great advice and all the help given to me by following your instructions regarding the studio editing (DVD's, email, etc.)

Wow, was a great video, and the vocals joined...I JUST LOVED IT!! Really, thanks!! ;-)

This is one of the first videos I watched when starting in the whole recording and sound engineering business. Now I'm here a couple of months later and finally understand all of these things. Good luck to you guys who are starting to work with music! My advice to you is to find a youtuber who you like that produces music and watch all his videos. When hearing every concept in context and how he uses it in his production you get familiar with them really quick. Try RecordingRevolution for example :D

That's encouraging. I'm just learning about all of this stuff and it's pretty overwhelming.

Great explanation of subgroup assignment cross platform

This video should be called... "How to assign sub groups and why!" Thanks for your info :)

Yes, I think the subgroups were both getting the stereo sound, where you would want to link them up in order to get Left and Right separately from the original drum-channels. I also think that once you link them up it automatically pans as it should, so no manual panning is needed once they are linked.

lots to know....will be re watching. thank you.

great work David cheers paul

Thanks for posting!

I love these consoles. Most people in the business don't like them for live sound. I love this desk. I have QSC rig and use a 24.4.2 first series. and it works good for me. some times I use the presets if I'm in a hurry and then i only have minor adjustments. what I don't like is it throws a limiter on almost every channel on the presets but that's an easy fix. run the channels and turn it off. The console isn't huge so I don't really worry about the sub groups. I use one for delay and one for verb. some times I'll put the drums and vocals on the other two.

Lookin at this video can't wait tell I master everything

Love this great job

I appreciate your work.

I really recomended starting with the vocals first, especailly if your new. sometimes you can find yourself running 2 issues, 1 that you hav got this great drum sound and you bring up the vocal mics which are picking up spill from the kit and now the drums dont sound right. 2 you run out of space for the vocals. the vocals are the most important usually so it kind of makes more sense to start with the vocals and build up round that. I also find it really usefull to have the drums and bass play on there own to get the rythm and bass working well together. Great video for those just starting out

Hey I'm learning alot since I'm watching this video

Nice...easy to grasp.

great stuff.. thanks

When sending a signal to an output in stereo, you can move that sound more to the left, or right by panning.

Nice stuff dude !

very good mixer nice demo thanks

Very informative!

Du bist echt ein richtig cooler dude 😎

Nice, Thanks David :)

fantastic!!!!!!

I LIKE THIS GUY... UR A BORN TEACHER

This will almost always be the case. The room is affecting the sound at different frequencies before it gets to your ear. You need a 'discrete' or separate mix for recording. In large systems, there maybe 'direct outs' from one board to an entire 2nd board (so it can be independently EQ'd, etc...will need a 2nd person) or multi-track recorder (for editing later). You can use a free Aux channel (2 for stereo) if they are available. This will at least give you level blend control.

Very informative video. Shame I didn't find it earlier. What is the song being mixed? Sounds great.

yes, he could have stereo linked the subs. Its the correct way to do it. Even the drum overheads could be stereo linked

Thanks

I was mixing a live worship service for a live KZread stream when I didn't hear my lead singer. Well we have a a 24 channel main mixer and a separate 16 channel mixer for the live stream. So 8 xlr cables which are connected to instruments and mics arent being fed into the live stream. Well one of the cables just happened to belong to my lead singer. So I'm scrabbling to figure out what to unplug so I can connect the mic. What helped is that the xlr cables have color tape which match the color tape around microphones. However instruments didn't have tape. But I did learn after the fact that we have 3 snakes with 8 xlrs. One snake belong to the drums. The other snake belong to 8 mics. And the other snake belong to instruments. I'm thinking we should get another mixer to accommodate the other 16 channels so that we don't have to keep unplugging stuff. BTW we have that same mixer.

cool thanks

at 1:50 you bring up the kick and talk about bleed through, but I can't hear it with you talking over it. But overall thank you for a nice video.

thank you sir

I learnt a few trick from a cool mix engineer called Raz Klinghoffer when he mixed my song ...

Wish I could do this stuff!!!

Great presentation! I'm thinking to buy the exact console you got there. I need to know something though.. Lets say I do my recordings with it into Cubase for ex.. Can I or can I not add effects, pan, or mix the tracks from the console after I recorded them? For ex to add compressor from the unit to an uncompressed track already recorded? Please make me buy this one:)

les agradecería si pudieran subir el tutorial en español.. excelente video

If your limited to four subgroups I run a mono live mix and subgroup the vocals to one, drums to two, bass guitar to three and guitars to four. If there is a keyboard or second guitar I’d run the bass to the main out and sub the keyboard/second guitar to that subgroup. Why run a stereo mix in a small club? My thoughts. Thanks for sharing

Nice song

Sub'd. Thanks!

Hi, great tutorial. I am starting my own live sound engineering company. How much should I be charging per hour for my services?

Hey sir How about you do a video about dj PA System set up and how to tune the system properly for the dance floor.💃🏽

Great vid, but I was waiting for the number 5, mixing monitors. Where is it?

Are there any classes you can take to learn more about the presonus mixer?

Hi sir which software used in live sound for measurements sound system {pa, subwoofers} etc?

Boom, boom, boom, boom boom!

for the stereo drum subgroup, don't you have to stereo link the subgroups as well?

agree with daneeehhhh's comments

In a live setting should you really pan ANYTHING extreme left and right (overheads) as most live mixes are mono??

please i have a question.. When two pieces of equipment are grounded to different AC outlets, a hum may be produced. What has occurred? A. A ground loop. B. An overdub. C. An echo. D. An edit.

Hey, great video, but I think it have been done a little wrong. If you want to get the sound in stereo, You have to link the two sub group together, don't pan them ;-) You can easy hear the difference between 2:53 and 5:33. I don't now how it is on other mixers but I am really sure that you have to do that on the Presonus.

l liked it

Simply put...what is panning?

Dude Yamaha M7Cl is the way to go! but presonus has a pretty good rep i guess

When I control the stage and get the signal out the main speakers sounding the way I need to, I find out that the recording sound is no where near what I was looking for. I have tried recording thru the headphone out an even the usb out. Is there a quick fix so both signals sound professional. I am a novice at a church in Nashville, TN.

I’m using the 16.4.2 using qsc 12.2 as tops and ks118 sub two issues I’m trying to send my sub into the back of my mixer (mono) and assign it to a subgroup fader is that doable? Also im getting air sounds out of all my speakers with volume control @ 0db on the back of the rear and everything in the board is gained underneath -10db what could be the issue

How can i print in my daw pro tools 2 in window?

What if your not recording live instruments, just wanna use it for my cubase or fl studios for mixing

Ken This guy got so many good stuff take a look fuck

Please what is the name of the mixer you are using?

yeah, but try to contact presonus customer service, tech support or anything like that, you could probably figure a fix yourself before you get a response from presonus.

can I connect bass or guitar in that way: bass/e.guitar -> cabel guitar -> noise gate -> cabel guitar -> concert mixer

What is the song title.Please tell me.

Can you please let me know how should be the faders level, in channel strip and main?

@stackman120

As close to zero as you can manage with gain staging. This will give you the most control to fine tune the level as the fader is logarithmic in its scale.

still a better myxer than my in 2017 lol

What's the name of the mixer console?

Dumb question. But, Do they make pre recorded audio to practice mixing without an actual band setup? If so, where can i get it?

Just play through actual songs through the board from an iPod or whatever. Then, you can mess with actual tunes you know.

It would have been nice if you had highlighted the outstanding feature: FAT channel as input/output meter bridge while you were mixing. You've missed something there.

Which board was this?

Hello friends... Does anyone use this mixer in the studio?? Be sure to let me know if I have any questions... Thank you

You mean fader that is mic input should be near zero and main also near zero. And control input from gain.

can i apply?

hello. what happen if i put the drums on sub1 and main and then i assing the sub1 fader to the main as well? does it affect the sound?

The drums will be twice as loud. You want the drums going to just sub 1, not sub 1 and the main.

Where do you live?

I want to know the name of that mixter

What's the name of the song who sing it?

what is the song name?

The "link" button my friend. You need to find the "link" button on this mixer.

helo there..i'm struggling over where to pan or where to place sound while mixing is there any visual charts or anything that can tell me the correct position of sound placement?

@josephjones2410

The beauty and the struggle of it is, there is no right or wrong. typically kick, snare, bass guitar, and lead vocals are centered, and everything else is panned to make up the sound stage. just try to find a space where the instrument is clearly heard and is not masked by any other instrument.

it doesn't change anything, it's just more practical.

I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. I play in a small blues band and also own the PA. Keep in mind please that i'm working on a small budget. I have been running a system using just one Subwoofer. I'm about to add a second subwoofer on a deal I found. The sub in this deal is built the same as my current sub. Front loaded 15" ..Ported the same too but a little more powerful. Will it be a bad thing that they are not the same brand?

Although he said using 2 sub groups would preserve the stereo image, when he brought up the two sub groups the stereo image was mono, not stereo. Either he did something wrong, or this is not possible.

+Will Gaines Absolutely false statement. Can you back that up a bit? It's an amazing mixer. In fact, the whole line up of digital mixers from Presonus are outstanding products. I personally run 3 of their boards and have for the past couple years in a multitude of environments. I own the 32.4.2ai, RM16.4.2ai, and RM 32.4.2ai. Feel free to ask away about anything you think makes these "the worst digital consoles you can buy". Otherwise don't make blanket comments about something you seem to know nothing about.

Yep they work the very same way.

The title is misleading, the video does not deal with EQ, Compression and Gates.

Video of Japanese sound operator speaker tuning contest kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoGll7BqacSZe5s.html

05:55 - bass bus is kinda pointless, heh i bet he regrets saying that now :D

Ok. Why are you panning that hat? The crowd is not hearing in stereo, unless you're passing out headphones to everyone. What you accomplish is half of your room not being able to hear the hat as well as the other half.

d

Title has little to do with the video, no EQ, Compression and Gates are shown.

I like to deal with gates etc first so the drummer isn't sat there waiting for you to dick around with everyone else

How to mix live sound..... then doesn't have any live sound!!!!. Try doing that with live instruments and it's nowhere as easy. The vocals are probably the only thing you'd hear clearly without interference from amps e.t.c.

did not get your name… your wrong about one Item in the first 5 mins…. Subgroups… its not like a Mackie where you need 2 subgroups for stereo… The Subgroup faders are Stereo. so if your drums are Panned.. you only need to use one subgroup. and your Panning will Follow… same if you use a stereo Effect Ping pong delay as an example.. and use subgroup 4 as your fader. it will ping pong both Left and right with the one subgroup. You do not need to use subgroups 1 and 2 for stereo drums…… you are also aware you can use your Aux A and B inputs for Stereo Keyboards. and End up with 28 usable channels with Faders on this 24 channel board.

@Infraredgrills

absolutely not correct. I own this mixer and the subgroups are mono. For stereo subbing, a pair of subs has to be used. In this video, he made the mistake of not using the "link" button. This would have married sub 1 and 2, and handled them as one, and applied all the panning and what not.

False advertising with the title here. At least give us a link to a video that shows (Levels, EQ, Compression and Gates)

How is this relevant?
