Thank you for a great video. Your video is the only video that explain about aux and how it works. No one did like you did on RUclips. I am trying to learn basic how the sound board work. Have a blessed day
Thanks a lot for uploading all this useful and very helpful tips about setting up sound equipment... it really helps a lot like a newbie like me... now i'm learning a lot from your videos... more power to your videos... =D
Thank you so much...very informative...i set up a lexicon reverb/delay unit in just this way on aux 6, still not getting reverb like i want it, everythings on we're using a allen-heath 2400. got lexicon plugged in to the insert , there's still a line in and direct out port open. any suggestions?
Excellent Series of Video. Very Helpful. One question.,.and you metioned this briefly but can you please elaborate. 2-3 lead singers on chanel 1-3, One VirtulizerPro FX, How do I give different FX (Reverb) levels to each? (without using 3 FX boxes). You metioned it can be done my manipulating AUX levels.
@motojeff original channel is controling gain/volume and the slider on the empty channel only controls the effect? not sure I get this or the advantage over just using the insert feature to run the effects? trying to make sense of it all.
.i noticed you said steer clear of mackie and i was wonering why that is im new to this whole soundboard stuff and really like you videos and was just trying to get as much info as possible
Ryan Kiehle I have personally never seen a Mackie function properly, particularly the aux sends. It kinda pisses me off because I used to be excited to work with a Mackie but... they never work...
very informative video,...I have jumped from Tapco Mix 60 to Allen and Heath 16fx for my home studio and so many ins and outs have confused me,.Now the concept of aux is clear,..Is there any video dealing with alt out?
Say you have mic going into channel 1, use the aux to get another send from it, send the aux out to the effects unit, take the effects out back to an unused channel and send itto the main mix. that way you can control the effects into the mix, while still having a clear vocal signal....
@motojeff Great videos Jeff, lots of good info. Curious about the Mackie comment. I'm no big fan of Behringer either but I've always had good results with Mackie and haven't heard anything bad about them from anyone else. Could you elaborate? Thanks, Tom
im trying to debate if there is something wrong with the sound board at church or not, my question is when you have an aux 1 output from the sound board to an amp then to speakers, there should be no other sounds from the aux accept whats coming out of the aux 1 channel output to the speakers right ? . we have back speakers and front speakers, i have the aux amp just powering the back speakers yet it still registers on the second amp for the front speakers and the amps are not connected together in any way amp one is input from mains on board and amp to (aux) is just coming out of aux 1 to amp. is that a board issue?
Question: How do you get the INPUT for the MIC on the last example because it seems to me you are using both the MIC in and the LINE input? The way I understand from the vid, is you use MIC in, then send through AUX 6 into REVERB back into LINE IN, but you can't use both. Do you have to use two channels?
Jonathan Louie Yes, two channels. You will return your reverb into another channel via the line input but just make damn sure that your send is turned off or else you will be sending reverb back to reverb and then you got a clusterfuck. At that point your reverb volume will be controlled by a fader just like any other input and you can also eq the reverb which is a real treat if you've never had the option to do that before.
Thang Lian Cin Each in ear needs to be chained together. You only need one aux. Unless you are talking about everybody needs a different mix then that's a whole nother ball game. You can get a headphone amplifier which will have 4 or 8 channels, take your aux send into that amp and then Branch out to each in ear setup. Then each instrument can be turned up or down and sent to the in ears, then each person can control the overall volume.
if you only have two aux outs does that mean you can only have two monitors? because how you more than two mixes if there are only two lines of knobs...im talking about like on the mackie profx16 at my church
stanleycjohn If you only have two sends then yes, you'll only get two mixes but that doesn't dictate the actual amount of monitors, you can have one or a hundred and one monitors per send. That will just depend on your amplifier setup. You can take send one to channel 1 of your amp, then feed 2 or 4 monitors off that, lable it mix 1, take your second send into channel 2 of the same amp and run 2 or 4 monitors off that channel and call it mix 2.

Thank You.. Thank You... You make that so simple to understand how the Aux Sends - going out and in. Thanks.
@kenstar2 Presonus studiolive mixers seem to be very hot on the market right now. they are great for recording and live sound.

I really don't mind the shaking of the camera because I can see a little better once you get closer to the board!! Thanks

mrcooldude964 Are you checking your pre post fade option? You want them to be pre fade so they are not controlled by the channel fader.

The Yamaha Mgp32x also has 6 aux out but how do I make in ear system for more people?
Thang Lian Cin Each in ear needs to be chained together. You only need one aux. Unless you are talking about everybody needs a different mix then that's a whole nother ball game.

@kenstar2 steer clear of mackie and behringer. i like soundcraft, allen and heath, and yamaha
so each aux send will need it's own power amp to power the monitors or you need powered monitors?
Paul H Yes but since the sends are mono, you can use a single amp (2 channels) to run two sends and two banks of monitors each with its own mix.
great videos!!
Very helpful thank you!!

You would put it in an empty channel ... a channel with no mic pluged into it.
