    Man…you’re really good at explaining this stuff, especially for people who use some of this gear a little bit don’t understand it’s full functionality. I never really understood pre/postfaders till now. Thanks a lot 👍

    Awesome video on using the Aux! Firstly a massive thanks to Kettner Creative, it's thanks to you that I know how to use my MG12XU mixer. One question though, if I wanted to have multiple monitors with different mixes controlled by Aux1 would that be possible, or would I have to use aux2 for a separate mix and be limited to two monitor mixes? Thanks again for all the useful content!

    Very informative. Although I didn't understand how exactly to connect an effects unit (eg, reverb/delay) to my vocalists. I understand the Aux out and the Aux mix control, but how do I get vocals to go to the efx unit and then return?

    Hi, great channel, recently subbed. I purchased the Yamaha MG10XU for a live show that we will be taking on the road. I’m new to the audio mixing space. Your videos on this mixer have been most helpful, thank you. Question - I need to take two line outs from the mixer. One is to send the mix to an Atem Extreme for the livestream. The 2nd line out is to feed a house audio system. What are your recommendations for achieving this? Thanks in advance.

    I would use a 1/8" TRS to dual 1/4" TS cable (currentprice.io/14_to_dual_18) to go from your stereo outputs into your ATEM. Then send the XLR inputs to the house sound system.

    I connected yesterday a Zoom H6 via 1/4” cable on both ends to a mixing board, I connected it to an Aux and my final recording was pretty bad. I could barely hear the instruments and the vocals sounded at a distance. I activated the -20db pad on the Zoom. Those aux outputs were used for headphones, but the sound tech told me that I could use them. I am not sure what happened.

    What about stereo aux output ? Wouldn’t you have to use both aux one and two? Then you lose pre or post option. Why is it so elusive to find a budget mixer with 16 aux mono / 8 aux stereo outputs for iem mixes.😂 they seem to cost the earth.

    Most people looking for 8 stereo monitors would have an input list with more than 48 inputs. This would easily put you in the territory of a full scale digital setup.

    So Aux the Pre-Fader function means I can have different output besides the Main output? That means I can control the Aux volume separately from the Fader and not effecting the Main output, right?
