Gain staging will help with that. You also need to make sure any other gain structures are good also. For example if your mics also have a preamp and gain knob on the receiver that connects to your mixer via xlr or ts cables, you need to make sure you also have plenty headroom on it as well. I turn ours up to 1/3 of the way and up the gain on the mixer for the rest of the way. Distortion may also come from other instruments that have their gain up to high such as keyboards or guitars. You can have the gain right on the mixer but still be distorted if other gain structures aren't right or if you have bad cables.
Great explanation....I have the larger mackie board and I get a decent sound for my band... I have to mix onstage because we're just a local cover band... we get compliments on our sound, but I've never really done it right....I'm thinking this will point me in the right direction!
Is there any recommended way to set up a sound mixer (PMP6000) that multiple singers can use the same mic? I struggle with this at a music jam where different people use the same mic. The individuals expect the system to compensate for their changes in volume and the ever varying mic placement distance. Trying to explain to them how to use the mic has not helped and trying to constantly adjust the channel volume or even gain has not been a good solution. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
It took 11 minutes for you to get to actually gain staging to mic. I know what the buttons are called, I don't need to know what the knobs are, just the settings and levels.
Good video. Most of these videos show digital consoles so its good to find an analog tutorial.
This was a great explanation. Thanks
How do u set it up on the board for no clipping and distortion on dat board because all u did was the gain

Hey I got a question
Hello Engineer, can I know between gain and fader which has clean voice? And where should I add gain? Thank you! 🙏

Rude Solo lets you know if a channel is still in solo mode.
I always thought that was a funny wording for that. Haha
@@towlermedialol. Right?
It’s to remind the guitar players of the band to end their solo because it’s going on 5 minutes now and that’s enough. It’s starting to get rude.
Great video!
