    Thank you! I've read so many forum posts talking about using compressors, but none of them suggest a starting point for the values. I haven't heard about limiters, but it seems like a specialized compressor. I'm gonna look more into those.

    Trying the limiter this week - so far during service #1 it's working well. I was boosting already through make up gain on the stream matrix pair but this adds a bit more. Along with the Stereo enhancer and other things, it makes the X32 operate like higher priced systems. Finally getting the most out of the X32 for online. However, the Behringer Wing has my eye for more capabilities... The reason is more possible effects per channel. Looking to consider doing that swap in 2022.

    We just got a used x32 and started noticing that the livestream volume was very low. I applied what you said in the above video and it worked great. Thank you. Then I realized that the singers were much loader than spoken voice, so we mixed that to where we are pretty close. Then this Sunday one of the singers started to talk before he sang, and even though the volume of his mic was perfect for singing, when he talked we could just barely hear him. Any thoughts on this?

      I know this is an old post. Just like the analogue board, if you distort early in a signal stream, turning down the gain downstream will only give you a quieter distorted signal. Monitor the signal gains every place you can, and every channel you can, and make sure you aren’t distorting anywhere.

  • @reevesterling9500
    @reevesterling9500 Год назад +2

    This guy is a wealth of knowledge but this isn't a great solution to the problem. If you have room to boost the stream mixbus by 12 db, you did not gain stage properly and this will overdrive a weak signal. On the flipside, if you did gain stage properly and you try this, you will ruin all your hard work because an insert boost is post preamp. Once your mixbus is averaging around -12 Db, if the stream still isnt loud enough, you're probably degrading the signal with output cable conversions. Try sending the mixbus via USB/ethernet/dante if your soundboard supports it. But improper gain staging is most likely the issue.

      If you are listening on a phone, this will always be the case. Phones speakers cannot produce much bass. If you are listening through quality speakers and there is still no bass, you'll want to check your EQ settings and make sure the bass isn't being cut out of our live stream mix.

    Great information. I using a 2nd mixer for my live stream. I have a Soundcraft Ui24 for my live stream mixer. On my master output that's where my limiter is located. I down loaded your cheat sheet and I do understand that this cheat sheet is setup for a X32 mixer and you did say that this would work on any mixer. The only setting I have on my limiter is a threshold, ratio, attack, release and gain and hard knee button. My knee button will only go to hard knee or soft knee setting and it do not have a volume gain and I do not have a stereo link nor auto gain on my limiter settings. As for squeeze setup goes is that same as the threshold. Can you help me out with the setting.

My only concern is that many of our sound engineers have a pretty basic understanding of the system, so they may allow compression to go well beyond 3dB.

    Audio QUALITY issue: streaming to RUclips
    Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is fed from our old Soundstream analogue console.
    Sound Quality Good when recorded on camera.
    Sound Quality good out of the HDMI from camera. (Plugged HDMI from camera into TV)
    HDMI to USB 4K adapter is used to connect to a PC.
    The issue so far seems to be live streaming directly using a BROWSER. Our RUclips channel uses low quality sound CODEC compression when we live stream this way. (it sounds awful).
    When we used the software OSD the quality was great.
    Now the big question, Is there any way of forcing the stream [using a browser] to load HD video and to NOT compress the AUDIO?

    • @collabworship
      @collabworship  3 года назад

    Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness.
    Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
    Jesus is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
    Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. 💖🔥🕊️🙏
    Praise God Hallelujah Jesus🙏💖
    In Jesus powerful name🙏🔥🕊️ 💖

    Cheat sheet is a signup scam....what the crap? All links require personal information to get the supplied help. Damn shame you aren't just helpful and are using the church and other people's issues to turn a profit by collecting and selling email addresses.
