Additional info: I noticed 4 frames(which isnt terrible or noticeable to average viewers) but if you are a meticulous person, you will notice. So I used audio/video sync test video to be able to get the precise number of frames of delay and it was exactly four frames. If your atem mini output is set to 24fps, 1 frame will be 41.67ms delay. So for 4frames, you need -167ms delay to correct the sync isse. This can be corrected in OBS with the offset sync in audio advanced setting. If you are not using OBS and you don't have the money for expensive mixers with delay functions, you can pick up a Beringher Shark FBQ 100 feedback destroyer on amazon for $120. It has a delay feature. And delay your audio from there before inputting it into the atem and you are good to go. I personally prefer the Atem Mini to the Atem Mini Pro because I like the fact that I can record my HDMI out to my external monitor with gives me a prores file than the very highly compressed file of the USB C of the pro. Also on the pro version u cant be recording to the Usb C disk and be connected to your system with the chord at thesame time. Just doesn't work. Multiview is good but it is not as important to me as been able to record my files in prores on a recorder monitor. I already have my hack around multiview on the Atem mini. For $300 less, I very much prefer the Atem mini to the pro

From the ATEM Software, the audio meters were showing fine levels.

This is a common issue with lots of the prosumer cameras these days too (ie Sony a6400, awesome KZread camera, no headphone jack). An external HDMI monitor with headphone jack works great! I got a cheap Neewer 5.5" Monitor and the audio quality is great.

The reason why the knobs are turned left and right is to prevent mouse lift when in live broadcast. There's more real estate on a monitor to drag the mouse width wise compared to height wise. Also, another good reason why you would want to split an audio channel to be separate is when you have a preamp connected to your camera like most sony's and lumix hardware. If you have the XLR device say for the lumix cameras, you'll want to control those separately if they are on two different people in the shot.

It's a real shame they didn't add the sidechain trigger feature on the Compressor and gate from the Davinci Resolve Fairlight mixer, then you could do some useful ducking of audio channels such as music or ambient/room mics with the compressor or gate when using the mic inputs. Could be really useful when live streaming from a venue or pubic space.

Thank you very much 👍

Hey Ryan thanks for the video. I've been using the pro for about a year now but, due to church renovation, had occasion to reconfigure our setup. What I wanted to do was to connect the mixer output from the choir loft into mic 2 and the output from the "house" mixer into mic 1. What I discovered, unless I've got a hardware issue or erroneous setup, is that you can't mix mic 1 & 2 within the Atem Mini Pro. I can't find any documentation the proves or disproves this.

Hi Ryan, thank you. I was hoping you could help me with something: my intention is to broadcast a stereo recording of my music I play live via my mixer (the only reason for the atem is to switch cameras from one area of the studio or another (piano, guitar, etc.), but that's purely visual. For this purpose, would there be any advantage to go for the extreme iso rather than the pro iso?

Thank you for this! We have our audio coming from the behringer x32. Headphone monitoring out of the mixer sounds PERFECT but upon hearing the audio of the saved video from the AMP the audio was pretty distorted (even though the levels showed pretty normal). After watching your video, I just realized I didn't switch the input from MIC to LINE, could that be what caused so much distortion? I realize lots of factors could be the issue but just curious if the MIC and LINE setting would make such a difference in general. Thank you for your time!

Hi! Thanks for the question and sorry about the late reply. I took the last month of the year off from KZread. I believe that is your issue. If it sounds good on the mixer, it should sound good on the broadcast. It was probably that line input option that was messing it up for you. It can definitely cause a LOT of distortion. Have you been able to try it with the inputs set to Line? Also, if you can, monitor your levels on the multi-view. In the ATEM Software Control, you can adjust the trim of the audio coming in by adjusting the knob at the top of the channel. Make sure you never hit the red.

Hello! Sorry for my english. Nice to find your KZread channel. Thanks for the video and congratulations. The 3 more interesting parts for me have been audio splitting, switch between mic and line inputs and audio delay. Most of the people is more from video and treat as deep as you the audio things for these units. I still didn't decide from mini or mini pro... What a doubt! I have some questions I would like to share with you and your audience. First: If we enter to any atem mini or mini pro from a mixer that has XLR outputs how should be bought or soldered the connectors? I think Atems mini mic inputs are TRRS in which contacts are from tip to sleeve inL is tip - inR is ring 1- ground is ring 2 - mono input is sleeve (remember that XLR1 is ground, 2 is signal, 3 is invert signal). if the atem mini input is balanced audio it'l be signal is tip, invert signal is ring and sleeve is ground... Second: I was wondering if it could be used atems mini as usb streaming, with OBS or any other stream app or directly to KZread or any other live video platform, I could use my digital mixer as an interface and get the audio inside de computer directly from there. Third and the most difficult one: I know it can be used atems mini by usb for online meetings or classes but what about using atem mini pro as a direct streamer to the internet router, be able to use it for those meetings with a external mixer? I would like for example to plug my ipad for the zoom class as HDMI input but also divide audio inputs and outputs to the mixer to make outside the box the multiplex connection with zoom class. How do you or any of your audience would do that? I guess I'd need a splitter from lightning to hdmi and other lightning and then an audio splitting from input and output and then plug the audio output of the ipad to a one mixer channel and to the ipad send all except that audio input from an auxiliary output from the mixer? Thanks in advace for your attention and your answers. Greetings!

@RyanKnowsNothing

Hi Juan! Thanks for checking out the video! That is one of the more interesting things I found was that you could actually switch between mic and line on the inputs! First Answer: Usually a TRRS is for a headphone plus microphone into a device that supports that. I would hazard a guess that these are Stereo TRS connections on the inside as it has no headphone functionality, but is a stereo (line) or balanced (mic) input. Alex Pettit has a cable he uses, but here is an XLR version I found that looks pretty good on Amazon: amzn.to/3cZY9FH Second Answer: On the original you have to go into something like OBS or a separate streaming box to get to KZread. With the Pro you can stream direct or through OBS or straight to KZread from the Ethernet jack. OBS is actually a great way to sync the audio from an external mixer with your stream because OBS has a delay function. I'm working on a video that will go more in depth with this. Third Answer: If I am understanding you correctly, you want to split the audio from you HDMI Zoom feed? There are ways to do that. I found a box that will extract the audio from you over an unbalanced signal that you could feed to your mixer, and it will split the HDMI so you could run to an external monitor and also the ATEM Mini: amzn.to/3ebHkb6. I think the ATEM Mini and the Pro would have to be plugged into your computer via USB to be used with Zoom, Skype, Teams and other meeting services. You might be able to do a round-a-bout setup in OBS, but I haven't delved that far into it. Hopefully that helped a little bit! Thanks for the questions and good luck!

I'm a little late to the show here. Great info!. I just bought one of these for my wife's youtube Channel. I have a Zoom Podtrack P8 for audio capture so I'll be running out of that into the ATEM. Does the ATEM store the most recent settings or will it need to be setup again each time? We are planning on recording straight to disk via the USB C and won't have a computer hooked up unless we are live streaming. At least that is the plan for now.

Much thanks for this great 2-part video, much much appreciated! Now: How do you suggest one go about monitoring, since you wisely recommend trusting one's ears? I ask because since there is no headphone/line out, I am listening to the audio sent out via HDMI to my DELL monitor (and then listening via the headphone jack on that). And what I am finding there is that I cannot trust the up-to-8-frame-delay feature: when things sound good on the monitor out (DELL monitor), they record with delay, i.e. the camera and lapel mic are out of synch by, say, 5 frames. So how can one trust what one hears, and where does one hear it? Also, the way it seems, the only way to check synch is to record to an external drive and open that file in VLC or another media player and see if audio and picture are in synch... this is very cumbersome. If audio monitoring could be trusted, it owuld be great... so is it? And where/how?

And definitely would be great you could test out the combination of the atem mini/pro with the rodecaster pro (and maybe dealing with any delay issues related to it). Would it be feasible to use one of the HDMI Inputs at the Atem to feed in the rodecaster pro output getting rid of the delay issue (in terms of having the same HDMI delay or is the delay more related to the transfer of data for the video signal)?

So the Rodecaster Pro might have a different delay time to lest say an analog mixer, just depending on how much processing is going on in the Rodecaster Pro and the analog/digital conversion.

Theoretically it should be possible with that mono XLR Female to 3.5mm. The thing to look out for is that the SM7B is a fairly low gain mic, meaning you have to crank the preamp to get a good level, and that ends up cranking the noise floor as well. Look into getting a Cloudlifter CL-1. it boosts the signal before the preamp so you get a really clean, strong sound out of the preamp. Amazon has them for about $150: amzn.to/2XrpKKN

I just recorded an interview with two people and each person had a lav. I put the mics on each camera and had them both on during recording. Will it now record separate tracks or keep them as a single mono track?

What I do to fix the audio delay is I use a Zoom H8 and connect the Lakato wireless stereo guitar system into it, then plug the Lakato receiver into camera 1. Turn off audio follows video, set the first camera to use the mic / line in input, turn off the audio on the ATEM for the other three cameras. I record acoustic piano recordings with generally one vocal (usually speaking) so I can place the Zoom six to eight feet from the piano, have the speaker stand in front of the zoom, and the recording is quite impressive. If I have the option, I can take a microphone and plug it directly into the zoom if that is an option (in this case, I will usually place the zoom inside the piano to reduce room noise). It is a bizarre oversight that they don't delay the audio and Im not sure this is firmware fixable, but just use the camera's audio input and problem is solved, no syncing necessary.

great - thank you

Hello, thanks for the video, a lot to learn! would you recommend to use the Rodecaster Pro as audio mixer to connect to the line input of the Atem mini Pro and to solve the audio delay issue, use between the Rodecaster and the Atem a BEHRINGER Feedback Destroyer Pro or something cheaper than that, do you think that would cause a loss of audio quality of the Rodecaster? thanks for your reply and keep up the great content

The Rodecaster Pro is an awesome piece of equipment and I think that is a dang good mixer to pair with the ATEM Mini Pro. I haven't checked out the Behringer piece to closely but it looks like it'd get the job done. Here's a cheaper option on Amazon that looks pretty easy to operate amzn.to/3cXhbwl. It is unbalanced, but if you're running short distances that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the question! Hopefully it helps!

Here I am watching right now 😁😭I love KZread

Hey, for an all things audio post I would have expected some info on cabling. If I missed it, sorry, long video. Given the "audio split" showed two tracks (L/R) per Mic input I am guessing these 1/8" jacks are stereo unbalanced rather than mini-TRS balanced mono inputs? So 4 mic preamps total (2 per input)? You mention using digital mixer delay to fix sync between analog and digital (hdmi) inputs. What about using an hdmi audio embedder and then using an HDMI input for your external audio rather than the analog inputs? I'm guessing the sync there will be better if you can spare an HDMI port. It certainly should be cheaper than needing to buy an audio mixer with built-in delay function I would think. Downside might be is more conversions as I am guessing all the digital audio inputs are converted to analog for mixing in the Atem Mini before re-encoding for output? Or is it a digital mixer with digital-digital encoding on output?

Hi Ryan, Question I am curious to know what Mic your using for this video. This sounds great and I see that your speaking normally and it is picking up your voice perfectly clear. Please let me know and thank you in advance.

Great ViD! Good to have a sound engineer's full run-through on the Atem's features. A few questions; can I internally sidechain the comp on say HDMI inp 1 from the analog 1 input? Am I able to plug in a stereo source into audio inp 1, and a mono source into audio inp 2? Working with a producer who has this, and encountered some odd behavior; depending on panning, the audio from jack one will appear on the mixer channel for jack 2, despite no source plugged into jack 2.

Hey Jesse! Thanks for the kind words. It was definitely something that needed to be addressed. Unfortunately there isn't a sidechain option that I can see. That'd be cool if there was. Yes you can plug a mono source into one, and a stereo into the other. All the inputs are technically unbalanced stereo inputs, but in the software you can split the channels so each side of the stereo input acts as a single mono input, which lets you pan each side to the center. That's a weird thing happening with the sources being switched. I wonder if something is up with the ATEM. Thanks man! Hope this helps!

Excellent stuff - you briefly mentioned “your hdmi audio input” - Is that how you are bringing in audio from a mixer? I am planning to mix my broadcast audio using logic or ableton fed from the house mixer - how would you bring that back in to the stream? (I was thinking of feeding the ATEM into Ecamm and adding the audio there from Dante but I like the idea of streaming right from the ATEM)

The HDMI audio is the audio coming from each HDMI input. On your Mac you can select the HDMI as your audio output from your computer and run it into the ATEM mini if you’d like. That might be nice because you may not have to adjust the audio delay at all. The quick and dirty way would be to get a feed from front of house and bring it into one of the 1/8” audio inputs on the back. Since the last update to the switcher included delay functionality you can easily compensate for that if needed.

I’m interested in the mini pro and now seriously thinking I should have my audio (XLR), go directly into my Mackie Onyx 16, then into Protools to record (up to three mics), and bring it back into the mini. Any thoughts?

Just to clarify, if I'm using the 3/4 outs on my Apollo x6 (or any interface for that matter) to go into the ATEM mics (lines) 1/2, will it also record a mic input on my cam (Lavaliers)? I'm thinking about recording it all to a dedicated SSD drive via the USB port. That way, I'm freeing up any types of processing for Pro Tools. I see you've labeled a stereo track "PT" in the mixer window. How are you feeding the mixer? I hope I'm making sense. lol Thanks!

Greetings, i have 4 lavaliere mics how do i assign each mic to its own track in the atem mini extreme pro iso?

Blackmagic update available today that "Adds adjustable audio delay on the analog inputs on ATEM Mini models."

Just saw that as well! Thanks for the update!

Love this video! super helpful! Quick question, does audio come out of the HDMI out as well? or is it just through the USB C out?

Both. The USBC sends it to whatever computer program you are using to stream or capture.

Thanks Richard!

Thanks Ryan I have a rodecaster outputting 1/4 inch to 3.5mm in the ATEM creating hissing and humming when there is silence via the xlr microphone I’ve try microphone and line settings on the ATEM Any clues or pointers to remove the hum hiss?

Hi Ryan, for a ENG feed I would like to insert the (n-1)audio into Mic2 and sent it with one of the cam's via HDMI2 to a laptop. So the audio on HDMI1out (life feed) is different from the audio on HDMI2 out (return to ENG). Is this possible?

Hi I was watching this video because I wanted to get the ATEM mini extreme with 3 cameras for recording panel discussions. my problem is I have a 4 way senheiser ew100 g4 luv system and I was going to run them through the sound craft mtk 12 digital mixer so I could mix them externally from the ATEM. I have two questions. you mentioned that you use a digital mixer also but I could not see any option in the item software for selecting an external sound card so I could get decent audio into the ATEM is this possible as I don't want to rely on the mini jacks. What digital mixer do you use, how do you delay the signal how do you select the digital sound card in the item software? Thanks

Thanks for this video! I have noticed that you're using Protools as your DAW, It will be quite helpful to make a tutorial that guide us how to measure the delay time between the audio and the video and then sync them using a delay plugin in Protools MasterTrack for example, I haven't seen a video like that in youtube and I think it will be quite useful for a lot o people :)

I’ll will definitely look into that. I use Pro Tools for most of my work other than these KZread videos. The workflow is usually a bit quicker in Resolve just using their audio engine. Thanks for the video suggestion! I’ll see what I can come up with!

Hello! Excuse me for my english. I still didn't even decided yet for buying Atem mini or mini pro, but I guess you can meassure it first of all recording yourself clapping one time with the computer through any of both atems as a web cam by usb input with the audio plugged in the mic inputs as line inputs and then import that video to pro tools and selecting from the first transient of that clap to the first frame of the clap in the video. In that way you I think you'll be able to see how much pro tools time indicators say is between. You should measure all the frame rates because it may vary depending on the frame rate you record, but I'm not sure. As you encrease frame rate it may be bigger the delay between audio and video, but this is all theoretical.

With Pro Tools on a Mac, you can technically set the Audio Engine to the ATEM Pro as HDMI options will show up there. Then you can play the output of Pro Tools over your stream.

Hey Juan! Check out my reply on your other comment!

I've got two XLR's coming out of a sound desk. How would I get these into the ATEM Mini Pro. Is it just a matter of getting a 1/8 inch to two XLR cable or would I get two single 1/8 inch to single XLR cables and put one lead into mic 1 and the other into mic 2 on the back of the ATEM?

I'm sorry if I missed it, but can you tell me: does each HDMI AUDIO source stay "switched on" if I switch from one cam to the next? I have 3 cams and 3 mics stretching longer than 30 meters, and I would just like to use the cam's audio inputs for all the mics instead of the line-ins in order to avoid possible signal noise w/ 30m 3.5mm cables. Thanks a lot!

Hey Jordan! Thanks for commenting. If you have the HDMI’s audio input set to “ON” it will keep the mic on the whole time regardless of switching cameras. If you have the AFV, or Audio Follows Video selected, it will turn off the mic when you cut away from that camera, and turn it on when you cut to it. Best practice in your case is to just turn them all “ON” and leave them. Hope that helps.

Thank you for this video. I have a hum when using the line input? Any suggestions of what would cause that

Great video, many thanks 🙏. I think I’m going to w/ pro iso version. If I may ask you please to direct us for a document that easily explains audio feature like filters, gain and frequency so we can take advantage of such features on the device. Appreciated

Hey Max! If you search on KZread there are some great tutorials on EQ and Compression that might help out. But I'd say the best way to learn how to use EQ and Compression is by doing.

WOW, Awesome Video Ryan@hi-tech on life, as I am a lifelong Musician getting into streaming (just learning about video). Trying to start with live audio first. I am looking into the Focusrite Clarrett Pre8 usb. When I get to my video options, is the ATEM Mini a Good fit with the Focusrite Clarrett Pre8 usb (utilizing the pres on the Clarrett, and maybe going line level to the ATEM)? Are the ATEM Mini and Focusrite compatible? Or separate systems? Thank you for your Time and Consideration.

Thanks Brian! I hear the Clarrett is pretty nice! I haven’t had a hands on with it yet, but I hope to in the future. I think the biggest thing is getting that clean signal into the ATEM. I’m not sure if it has a direct monitor function or not. If not you just have to mix things through the Focusrite control software or with a bit more latency, through a DAW.

Great video. I just got the ATEM Mini Pro ISO. How do you monitor the sound?

As you've probably noticed there's no headphone jack on the Mini Pro (there is on the Extreme). I always plug my headphones into the monitor I use for multi-view output. It's not a great solution because if the quality of the circuitry of the screen is poor, then you'll be left a bit blind (or whatever the audio equivalent would be). An alternative would be to use a device that has HDMI feed through (In and Out) plus a headphone socket. An example would be an Atomos Ninja Blade

Hi, Thanks it was helpful! My question is how can I insert my digital sound from my Midas air18 via USB cable into ATEM Mini pro. I Livestream now via OBS, but I want to stream via ATEM Mini Pro and avoid PC, but there are only analogue inputs. I have connected the computer (digital mixer connected to this PC via USB) to ATEM Mini Pro through HDMI and tried to forward sound, but didn't work. Only the sound of a video was perfectly there, but not the sound of the digital console 🙁 Do you have some idea, how can I solve this. Thx

Any issues when you use mic inputs and switching among multiple cameras? Does the "mic in" audio synch with the video?

If any of the mic inputs or HDMI inputs are set to “ON” it will feed the program audio output. So, you could have every single source on and it wouldn’t matter which camera you switched between, your audio would stay the same. It’s when you push the AFV or “Audio Follows Video” that it will cut the audio from a source. And unfortunately no. The audio coming in through the mic inputs won’t be in sync. I am working on a video that will go through how to identify the delay and a few ideas on how to fix it.

Absolute W video. I had a lot of money softowing in in a good ti of my life where I would spend it on dumb stuff. But one of the few good
