I MUST give you props on this video. I'm a master in the digital world but struggled to understand outgear and A/D. This video 100x better than everyone I've watch from "master engineers" and companies. Didn't even have to rewind! Amazing!
Been waiting for a vid like this for ages. Absolutely first class.
Thank you thank you, got more to come!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Grayson Canaan Instablaster :)
This was really helpful for me. A lot of videos like to talk about consoles, but you actually got your hands dirty and showed us how the back of it is routed and how it actually functions in a session.
true.
Yeah not a problem, and I totally understand. When I first got the mixing console, I really wasn’t sure where to start! Then after you start working with it, it quickly becomes very manageable and you learn exactly how and where the signal flows
Finally some that’s actually explains it right. I’ve been looking for this type of video.Thank you!
Wish there had been a video like this when I was starting to get my head around this stuff years ago. Thanks Weezna. Also just wanted to say I love your studio - particularly that your gear is well chosen, customised and sprinkled with some great equipment but intelligently, not just top shelf 'everything' like you see in some YT productions. To me, shows you've put in the hard yards over the years and this comes through in your approach. I wish you great continued success! Keep the content flowing!
Adam Tulk thank you so much for saying that. Yes I have definitely gone through lots of equipment over the years and there is a piece of gear for everyone of my needs. I do absolutely love modifying and customizing gear so it really turns into more of a hobby for me! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words
Thanks for the video. Will this system work using digital mixers like the xr18 as well?
I found this video so helpful as I have the gl3300 and have been looking everywhere for something like this online. So thank you very much for your time and effort for putting these videos up you have finally helped me get my studio up and running
finally someone shows ALL the routing from A to Z !
DAMMIT FOR CENTURIES I NEEDED EXPLANTION, THIS THE BEST VIDEOOOO, NICE JOB
Great video brother. Love the technical stuff. This video really helps us amateurs optimize our routing. Thanks again.
Worlds Combined thank you, I appreciate that. Yeah and I have more videos to share about this setup!!
Great video. Finally someone gets it. Thank you so much for creating this. Highly appreciated.
Thanks Weezna, I am a big fan of yours, been following the channel for a while. This was really helpful and very easy and intuitive to understand. Appreciate your efforts man. Looking for more videos in future.
Thanks mate!
Thank you, I appreciate the support! I got more to show too!!!
Great video..Congratulations sir. First time I've seen a very clear giving all the steps when we have to setup a full studio recording step by step and its signal flow.
Beautiful setup. Thank you for this video. I plan on converting my studio to a hybrid setup like yours.
Well done Sir someone actually showing the signal path and where to connect cables 👍👍
Your desk is amazing. Truly amazing
Great versatile console setup. Great to see it finally in action.
RecordingStudio9.com thank you thank you. Yeah after I got the studio back up and running last year, I have switched how it has been used four times now. This is finally how I’m going to keep it, with my current workflow
Intelligent and articulate presentation - well organized and quite excellent - very nice production values also
Hey There Weezna,
Thanks for this informative video! Looking forward to this series!
Cheers from India!
Zidaan Roy hey not a problem, thanks for watching
Amazing information. Thank you for explaining all of this in great detail!
Thank you. I’ve been pondering the different routing options since I just got my Soundcraft Ghost back from a friend after many years. It’s 24 channel with also another 24 secondary’tape returns’ so essentially its 48 summable inputs.
Being that it’s for my home pre-production/writing/recording setup I’m hesitant to route everything to my patchbays & more keen to use the 8 buss outputs to route to the soundcard.
The thing I really enjoy about that configuration is that I just have to set everything to unity on the daw when recalling sessions. I personally find it more productive and inspiring to spend as little time outside the box and treating the computer more like a linear tape machine/hard disk recorder obviously with the advantages of a DAW but also being set up to treat it as a destructive recording configuration so I can make more spontaneous commitments [ie print things with their current channel settings/processing/fx/etc] and i have found my recordings / sound design / composition decisions come together more quick & succinctly with far less need for post processing.
It REALLY helps to have your video playing as I look over my own rig, far more than doodling a zillion theoretical configurations 😅 THANK YOU AGAIN
Good vid. I love the old A&H desks. I had the Saber Plus 24/24/16/2 back in the day. Made a lot of great recordings on it.
Maaaan I love you for this. I can't afford for now to go to a sound engineer school. But this is what I needed to get a very solid starting knowledge. Keep going!
This is a great video. Learned a few things here.
I do enjoy videos like this. I don't have any of the stuff you have (LOL) but I like see how the routing and recording is done on analog consoles. Thanks
Yeah not a problem, thanks for watching!
Very good info. You cleared up allot of confusion with routing. Thanks
Excellent Video... Thanks for your work in making a great and very clear tutorial on this stuff..All the Best to You!
You're very welcome and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. This is gold.
This is a fantastic Video ! Helped me out alot as I use a Soundcraft MH3. I really hope you can do more like this.. BIG THANKS! Merry Christmas .
So much informative... Crystal clear of consoles.... Love it ❤ frm 🇮🇳
The best explanation ever made
I keep coming back to this video.
Hope to see part 2 soon :)
This is my dream setup…. What ever digital gears and DAW come in market I believe that mixing in analogue mixing console is the ultimate mixing setup we can get and it’s always my wish to do mixing in analogue even if we record in a DAW……
any way thanks to you sir for this vedio, it was a great vedio……….
Thanks for the video. I think I’m gonna stay with DAW mix console for a while.
Amazing in depth tutorial.. Thank you!
Good work, buddy. Many thanks. 😊
Thanks for posting this.
So many useful tips in there! thx man!
Very well explained. Thank you!
Thanks for this video! Awesome
Great video, thanks so much
Thank you for this video!
Hey Bro, The studio desk was more than enough for me to subscribe... But definitely a topic...
GOAT, thanks a lot bro!
I know a Lexicon MPX 100 unit when i see one. I had mine since.. 2000. The only downside is the thin wire on their Wall wart adapter that it came with. I do love the colored cabling, which i am working on. Makes things a lot more easier to know what goes with what, and to where.
Very helpful, thank you!
Excellent teaching!
My Dad has, and back in the early 80's recorded on, the exact same Sony consumer model of reel to really machine.
wow so thank you !! so helpful!!!
Super Info.
Thanks Sir.
The quality of the cables is very critical here!
finally lol glad to see you bro bro
Shazamm the iPad Producer Ha ha yeah it’s been tough finding time to do these videos. Fortunately the studio has been busy which obviously occupies a good chunk of my time. But I think I will finally have more time in the future to continue with these videos
Thank you very much!
super thanks..great help.
cloyd lobaton yeah no problem, thanks for watching
this dude never worked on a real Neve console. lol. will never hire this type of bozo. andrew schepp is a great guy but not even in my top ten producer/mixer/engineer
Liked and sub’d.
Many thanks.
Great vid man. Just picked up a 40ch gl3300 and looking to run the direct outs into my preSonus Studiolive 24ch for tracking. Wondering if I need to change any factory settings to the console to use EQ and preamp section for some flavor before digitizing. I'll also be attempting analog summing so not sure if I should split 24ch into post fade and 16 into prefade pertaining to TRS direct outs. Your vids are definitely helping me figure this board out. I just sourced and ordered parts to build a DC power source for it. Ready to fire it up and record some drums and guitars 🙌
LOVE
Thank you Ryan
No problem!!!
I too have an Alexis midiverb II and a quadraverb!
So glad I live in the age of the DAW haha. Great info to have though!
Super well done video. Just in time.
Curious what model AD/DA convertors are you using. Thanks....
Phil

Amazing Video. Amazing video Tutorial. Regards from Portugal Lisbon. What analog mixer do you have ?
🎉🎉
What units are you using as your meter bridge? I watched several vids of your👍, looking for the one where you go through your setup....nevermind I found it. Good work and thanks for the info
*Thankyou so much*
*Love you from india*
*This video is exellent*
*We want more detailed video*
Thank you, yes another video is coming soon!
@@TrueSoundTV it's 1:18am still i'm online
Apple niceeee
Thank you
You're welcome
Hey, great video!! I was wondering if there was a way to have your dbx compressor come AFTER the EQ of the console. Is this possible?
how did u print.. from where did u get the final stereo signal ... from the console main outs or from the bus ..
Thankyou
Your gain staging was Very helpful bought , Pream, Compressor , Interface,so what buy next
Hey that's awesome, glad i could help!
Thank you so much!!. Can I also use a Mackie Onyx 3280 and have a connection through that SSL Converter as well? I take it it would work with just about any Console?
Thank you
😵💫Thanks
thanks
I am setting up to use an analog 48 channel Mackie onyx and was wondering which interface wound be better? The universal audio pros with 8 channels are really nice but they are outrageous my expensive.
Is there a better option?
Weezna, what kind of video camera do you use? It's so gorgeous and clear
Hey did you ever put up that video on how you wired up the xdesk with your Daw for mixing….etc
Won't it be possible for you take the direct out from the two FX Returns and send them to the A/D Converter as FX Return channels?? Just wanted to know. Great explainer video btw!!!
Would love to see a video on routing audio back from the daw into the mixer
From the a/d converter interface to mixer.
how many analog external compressors needed for 16 tracks? i saw 2 in your rack, but do you use same those 2s compeessors in 16 tracks or u got some more for the rest 14 tracks?
I have always searched for such a video and I could not find it. it's very comprehensive and I have really learnt a lot. I will no longer be afraid to walk into a studio with such routing. I have a question or rather a clarification. on your stereo channels, is it the custom that you made or it is originally stereo?
Trevor absolutely, glad to help out. So those four stereo channels come standard with any of the GL series. I just moved the location of where the stereo channels typically are on this console
Hi. What do you think about plug the external pre amp to insert point of the console instead the line connector?
i realize this a long time ago but how do you feel about the KT pultec clones? still use them? useful to you in mastering/etc?
This is amazing info for youtube!! Much appreciated!!
Weezna, the converters and card you are using (SSL) are not available anymore, if someone wanted to emulate your setup for a gl4800 what would be the recommended hardware options regarding converters?
Does using the analog effects illuminate using digital plug ins once the signal is routed to the DAW?
8:40 are the send & returns on the mixer balanced or why are you using trs cables instead of ts ?
Hello there! hey, what do you think about these preamps, are they silent? sounds good like any another interface preamp out there?... I would like tracking drums with 18 mics and the Presonus quantum 4848 32 lines I/O. I would like to know if this console or another with direct outs are a good solution. I'm a little scare with that Big external power supply, for noise or somethings like that. In your experience, can you tell me what do you think?
Thanks, I'll wish an Allen heath GL4800 or GL4000 like you.
i have an analog mixer and a digital multiport sound interface. i would like to route all channels of my mixer to my sound interface and the soundcard output to the main mix of my mixer. would you recomment i wire the sends on the mixer to the sound interface inputs and the return on the mixer for capturing the output of the sound interface?
Can you make a video explaining what a channel strip consist of? For us new people:)
Thanks for the video. Please will this work using digital mixers like the xr18 and x32?
It really depends on the mixer, but in a lot of cases yes. The more important part is that it has a direct output for each channel. Not every single mixer has this, and a lot of the new digital mixers don’t. There are options to add direct outputs as an additional option, but you would have to check for that particular mixer
What if I have something that requires phantom power? Will it work without the XLR jack?
Where are your monitors plugged in? Interface or mixer?
What I want to know is how you connect your ADC to the computer, and then from the computer to the DAC. That's the part I really need to see. Optical? Does that mean I go straight into the back of my CPU using a tos link from the ADC? When I look at the back of my computer, I don't see any ADAT or Tos link in's or out's. What do I need in order to connect an ADC to my computer so I can send the sound signal to my DAW.
I have a gl2400 and can’t seem to sync it to my daw maybe I’m doing something wrong
Guys, may I ask what brand & model of the Converter?
what about the faders? if the audio goes out to the daw via the black direct out knob, then the faders dont affect mixing?
When I’m recording, the fader is the monitor level. When we get to the mixing phase, the fader dictates the output level for that particular channel
nice explanation, what type of multi cables do you use?
Thank you, I have a mix of elite core, whirlwind, and Magomi cables!
James Mosley out of Akron need your help with analog to daw setup
Very interesting and informative video really I liked it, thanks for sharing GOD BLESS..
