yeah, straight to the point video.

This is really helpful. It's funny how, as soon as somebody starts talking about these aspects of looping and patching etc--even super experienced and skilled guys--they just don't seem to know how to verbalize the logic clearly. I guess the loops make their brains loop. So it's nice that this fellow really knows how to make ir clear to the viewer. Nice job.

That's awesome! Thank you so much for this great video!

Thank you that really helped. I was trying to figure this out on my mixer. Thank you really appreciate it.

Thank you so much...

Great video! Since my Bugera BC 15 doesn't have an effect loop and no output I was planning to do the same trick. And here we are, great trick and glad I see it making it happening . Only one question , does it really 100% replacing an amp fx loop?

damn you are an awesome explainer / illuminator.

i think this is just what i want! my mixer has a 'send' but no dedicated 'return'. many thanks! :-)

Thanks!

hi, first of all i am so thankful i came accross your channel!secondly i just got a soundcraft 16 analog console..but there is no insert jack for ext compressor etc,,so can i use this method?thirdly can i use any of the compressor left or right input ..i have fmr really nice compressor..thank u in adv

Incredible, you are a master, greetings from Nicaragua, Central America, I wanted to know how to connect an RC-300 to the 1202fx console and make all the channels LOOP, using the FX, but without losing the effects of the console, just bring the loop signal to the console, I don't know if I make myself understood, bring the loop pedal signal to the console, but continue using the effects of this same console, I would appreciate your help

thanks for sharing your great knowledge and please tell me wich button knob you are using to control reverb on channels,,is AUX KNOB BUTTON OR GAIN KNOB BUTTON?

Hey i just have one question. Does it have effect the entire channel of a mixer if i connect that in to left and right in the last channel of a mixer? Or it will not effect in other channel of a mixer like 1 2 and 3 channel if i just turn down the volume in aux channel 1 or 2 or 3?

TY for explaining! Is it also possible to not have original signal but only wet signal in sends?

I have some quetions. may i use that aux send to compressor limiter as a substitute audio processors?

Hi! may i know from where you connect your inputs or what is the sources of your inputs? Thanks!

I have two aux sends but one stereo return. Works fine with one efx going into mono return (efx comes out both speakers) but how can I use both efx sends and have both efx come out both speakers. Am I missing something? Like why would you have two sends with one return? I'm using a Yamaha 10/2 older model. Thanks

can you please help me? I have the echo/Mic amplifier which has the echo effects only apply to the microphone slots. Meaning I have to connect the microphone to one of the 2 Mic slots to get the echo. Can I connect the mono 1/4" jack from the Mixer to the the Mic slot on this Echo/Mic amplifier? This way I can connect 4 MIc connected to the Mixer. Thanks a lot

After you sent the signals out of aux 1 to the effect in on the effect board and the last two cables you connected from the effect board out are they both came out of the put of the effect board or came out of one in and one out of the effect going back to the stereo return? I would appreciate it if you could comment back..

what happens if you crank up the aux pot for two tracks at once? are you still able to have varying amount of reverb for the two tracks?

Does Aux send cable needs to be stereo jack cable or mono is ok?

could the same thing be done except with guitar effects pedals? Or might there be a level / impedence mismatch?

how do you get the internal effects into the AUX send for a monitor mix? Our AUX mix is dry. We can't seem to figure it out on our Behringer XENYX X2442 which looks kind of similar to the one you're using here.

Hi is there a way to connect the internal effects of one board into another board. I just want to use the effects of the board, and not plug any mics into that board.

What type of PL should i use is it balance or unbalanced?

What is stereo aux return then?

I use a single 1/4 inch stereo jack that has split Left & Right 1/4 jacks on the other end. I: 1) Plug single stereo 1/4 jack into Insert on audio mixer 2) plug the left (white) into the FX INPUT 3) plug the Right (red) into the FX OUTPUT. I do this to create an FX loop on a single channel. It works with my reverb guitar pedal.

Yes that would work. Remember to make sure your aux volume is turned to a suitable level. Likely send it to a mic input & mess around with audio setting in your laptop so it recognizes the audio. If you can't find a mic input you could use a USB audio adapter (I use a Behringer U Control) HTID.

Very good video. Would it be possible to connect a compressor in the same way through the Aux?

@kandr21400

I was just reading a book today that described multi-effects processors. I'm guessing you could come out of the aux, go into the multi-effects processor and loop back to the mixer. The ME processor has reverb, delay, eq, and compressor.

Yup. Kinda figured. You've confirmed. Mucous Garcia.

We can put equalizer?

Pretty much every video or forum i watch/read on how to do this is doing something wrong somewhere in explaining how to do this. I've been trying on both my mixers & no matter what I try It doesn't work when I follow the instructions in said video or forum post.

this is the dude from the roland sp808 video tutorial!

Thanks for this tutorial. One more question, for anyone, really: Is it standard, or "acceptable" to use to different effects (types and levels) on different instruments. For example, say I use my Lexicon mx200 for some Plate Reverb on the vocal track, would it be too much of a conflict of signals to use the board's internal effects, say, on the drums and then use some external effects (like a Boss multi effects processor) for my guitar signal? I suppose the answer is that there really are no rules and it's largely trial and error, but any general rules of thumb that might shorten my learning curve are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've been recording music myself for around 20 years. I mostly tried on purpose to use the bare minimum of effects on my instruments, except some distorted guitars, occasionally distortion on the bass, & maybe some subtle effects on vocals, but had to find other ways to do it. So I haven't tried this at all until the last few years & here's the thing... No matter what video I watch, what forum I read, or whatever else I try, It doesn't work. I've got 2 mixers I've tried this on & none of the videos I've watched will work with my aux or effect sends either. (Even the manuals for both mixers explain how to do this & it just won't work.) So I'd love to know this too.

My question is: when you create an effect loop, how come there is no audio feedback screaming sound (like holding a mike near a loudspeaker)?

@tiaxanderson9725

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm not an expert, but I believe I can answer that one. When you hold a mic to a loudspeaker the signal that the speaker is outputting is picked up directly by the mic and (presumably) amplified, which is then send to the speakers which sends it to the mic etc etc. Each time amplifying the amplified signal; creating a feedback loop. When an effects loop is created the (let's keep it simple) mic sends it's signal (also presumably amplified) to both the main out and to the aux, the aux has an audio processor connected which adds an effect, and then sends the output to a *new* input. So while the effects loop causes a loop from the mixer to the mixer, it doesn't send the signal to the same input, thus no feedback. I suspect that if the aux knob of 11/12 was turned up we _would_ get a feedback loop as the signal is picked up by 11/12, send to aux, processed, and then send back to 11/12.

@dadrobit700

6 жыл бұрын

Late reply but here's hoping this helps. :) Although the signal strength overall is indeed increased, it all depends on just how much reverb you apply through the reverb pots. Although the FX returns are at unity gain, they only receive as much signal as you send to them through the AUX send pots. Add only a little reverb on the guitar and the overall mix is not going to be anywhere near doubled, louder by a bit, but not doubled. Add tons of reverb on every channel and you're going to have a very loud and messy mix. Maybe you want to cut out a lot of the dry signal, (original sound) and dump a lot of the wet signal, (the reverb sound) in for a wash of reverb while keeping the master levels in line? Who knows what's best for your taste, it's just as much an art as it is a science, it's all up to you on what you do. Essentially, in the end it's up to the mixing engineer to make sure that the dry signal and wet signal are mixed so that the whole thing remains at a balanced and tasteful level.

Yes, mixing for dummies:). ...And on your second mini-sized mixingdesk the auxilairies seems to be transported under the eq on the channelstrip! Oh no, you're learning on a Mackie, the least common desk....Just like some idiots drive on the left side of the road:)From Mongolia i believe...

With the Yamaha signature 12 u can not plug in a separate reverb or delay unit u can run it threw but will have no control over each channel.
