  • In this video I'll show you how to use an Aux feed from your sound board for your live streaming audio. First I'll show you how to connect the mixer to your camera, and then I'll show you some methods for mixing on an AUX output.
    Several comments have mentioned phantom power connected to the input of the mixer. The R800 does not output phantom power on it's Mic input. (It only works with battery operated condensers or dynamic mics.) If you're camera does have phantom power on it's mic input, then you may need to use a phantom power blocker: amzn.to/2Mg9pRT

      Hi first thank you for taking the time to share all of this imformation, my Church only started streaming due to the cov 19, we have a GL4000 Allen and Heath analog desk with additional equipment eqs, effects, delays and compressors.After watching your video with the Q16 I was wondering how to go about doing the similar on the analog desk.
      Should i come from the aux on the desk into the eq then to input on the compressor and out from the compressor to the input on the camera?
      look forward to your advice

    This is gold! Great advice, as I'm a church multimedia guy. I did this for my church and had to figure all of these on my own, which took a long time. Having this video would've eliminated a lot of guesswork and trial & errors. I remember how we had to figure out how to eliminate ground loop on camcorder as well. What a hard lesson to learn, as we heard this awful buzz coming from our uploaded church service, which we couldn't get rid of. Later, we used DI box instead with ground lift, but I'd definitely try Ebtech Hum Eliminiator in the future.

    "For 90% of situations, the mix for the room and the mix for the stream are different." "You've got to think like you're mixing for a recording."
    Extra points for PANNING -- use that stereo field to sweeten up that mix!!
    Yes, Yes, Yes! Thank you so much for reminding us of the basics!! ;)
    RE: Lead Vocal getting buried, my preference is still to have the main vocal "pop" out front -- backup vox get panned / more FX.
    A criticism from my early years was that I would mix too "loud" for other peoples' tastes, so I've learned to mix from a "subtractive" approach: Instead of always thinking, "what needs to be LOUDER," I think, "What can I decrease in my mix, so other sounds are more prominent?" It's a great method to quiet a soundstage full of wedge monitors, you can reduce straining your ears in a personal IEM -- easy to quickly reduce a muddy mix.

    Great to hear you will do a room mic video, that is the stage we are about to get to. I've "hit that bell" to be ready for the upload.
    Bizarre how similar our setup is to your video, Taking a Aux from a Qu24, channels 9&10, first into a low end camcorder, then discovering we needed an attenuator (line to mic). Now upgraded to a Blackmagic TVSHD.
    The iPad control app for the Qu desk has been perfect for me to mix a stream and leave the main house PA operator to do his job.

    Hello, super great video and very helpful of what our church would like to do in the future. We currently have a Yamaha TF 5 digital mixer and was wanting to either get a separate small mixer just for the live stream as you suggested or if possible connecting the mixer to a computer with a DAW. But there's not a lot of great videos that talk about how to work a DAW. Maybe you can make a video on that in the future, as your videos are very straightforward and easier to understand than others. Thank you and keep up the great work!

    Thanks for this concise, informational video. Could you elaborate on how you got Aux output to be in Stereo, that too, with reverb effects? We're looking to get the sound of the keyboard in Stereo and also pan some vocalists with reverb and echo effects, but we're unable to do so in our Aux mix using the Soundcraft UI24r, a fairly advanced mixer. So I think this is something to do with the concept rather than the equipment.

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  3 года назад

      The Qu has stereo aux sends, but essentially the same thing can be accomplished by using 2 aux outputs, and varying the volume to one or the other to pan between them.

    Good job! I was just explaining this same concept to a fellow church a couple of days ago. I'm going to send the guy this video. They are still using an analog mixer. I could imagine someone who isn't familiar with digital consoles could be really confused by this. Do you think you could make a follow-up video explaining the same process on an analog board?
    FYI: Your Aux output sounds like the L and R are out of phase. Toward the end, it is corrected.

The other two is dry vocals getting streamed and no AR Mics. Should resolve this soon. Not sure what you think about this been using subgroup 3&4 instead of a post fader aux send for Livestream. Drums and piano only assigned to sub 3&4. Will do the same with AR Mics.

    Like many churches, we struggled to get a streaming setup for our Masses. We are currently using our parish communications director's iPad to stream directly to Facebook. But, we are applying for a grant for a permanent streaming setup. Our plan is to use PTZOptics cameras and feed an aux from the board to the 3.5mm line level in on the camera closest to the sound board. This is basically how you explain things in this video, correct? I just want to make sure since I am the project manager for this project and the only experience I have is streaming video games from my xbox directly to Twitch; which basically makes me the parish expert on streaming, or so I'm told.

      If that cable run is more then several feet, I would just get a USB audio interface and run your audio from the mixer to that. It's pretty easy to sync audio in OBS, so no need to run a long cable. Any USB audio interface will work, behringer um2, or focusrite 2i2.

    Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful. My church is putting together a live stream set up but I am slightly confused. As of right now, we are just live streaming the sermon, no music. We are planning to do a one camera set up connected to a laptop. For that setup regarding the audio, would you suggest using the Behringer audio interface from the soundboard into the computer or using the set up you mentioned in this video? Also, would you suggest investing in a streaming software like VMix or just using OBS? Thank you so much!

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  4 года назад

      Any kind of audio interface will have better sound then a cheap camera's preamps, so if your mixer has an audio interface, or you already have an audio interface, use that. You'll just have to do a little work in the streaming software to sync your audio and video, but it's not that hard and it's a one time thing. If all you need to do is stream, then OBS is fine, I would use that until you figure out something you can't do, and vMix can. Just be sure you have a decent computer, where most people get frustrated the first time with OBS is trying to do something beyond what their computer is capable of.

      If I were trying to accomplish this as cheaply as possible, I'd get a PC (tower, not laptop) that has USB3 built in. Then add a second USB3 PCI controller to it. (amzn.to/2S90kwa) Then get two AJA u-taps (amzn.to/2S9sHu8) connect one to the built in USB and the other to the added PCI card - you need two USB controllers so that each USB controller can supply enough power to power each u-tap. Put a second SSD hard drive (amzn.to/2ClV8j9) in the PC for recording and use OBS software to stream and record at the same time. (watch this video about how to set that up: ruclips.net/video/yTt5IxFWaEM/видео.html Then finally choose two cameras to use, really depends on what your budget is.

When you turn the reverb up on 9 and 10 for the vocals is that not the same reverb that you would use for the LR mix? I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to have different reverb levels on the same channel for the different aux?

      Compression is the solution to achieve louder average levels. Unfortunately for it to sound decent it's best to apply compression at several levels (not just one on the mix bus) and that will be hard to do with an analog desk. Do you have any compressors available for you to put on inserts?

    Hi Steven! Been really enjoying your videos! What’s your suggestion when you are forced to be far away from the mixer and have the ATEM mini eighth inch input? I know there are some issues when you start running longer cables. Thanks!

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  3 года назад +1

      What distance are you talking? To run audio long distances you want to run balanced, so probably the simplest solution would be to run balanced from your mixer and then convert from balanced to unbalanced for the connection to the Mini. If it's a really crazy distance, or through multiple rooms, etc then you could go dante over a network. Use this to ingest audio (amzn.to/3nu8LT0) and this to output to your Mini (amzn.to/2I2GrXu)

    HUGE thanks for all your videos; they have been a great help to our church! We have setup a Canon HF R80 through the AJA U-TAP to Facebook live. We are sending an Aux MIx from our board to the Mic In of the camera, but the audio is very poor. It sounds overly compressed. I would like to try your suggestion of an inline attenuator but our Aux Out is 1/4". Is there a 1/4" attenuator you would recommend? Or is it possible that the poor, overly compressed sound we are streaming is coming coming from somewhere else? When I listen to the recorded audio directly on the camera, not streamed through Facebook, it sounds pretty good. Could it improve the audio to go directly into the computer and mix it with the video using OBS? Thanks again for all your instructional videos!

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  4 года назад +1

      You will get the best results using an Audio Interface to bring the audio in. Any USB audio interface will have better pre-amps than the R800. I like the Focusrite 2i2 (amzn.to/2Py9OCk)

    Hi Steve, been watching your videos from way back, I've probably watched all of your videos and it helped me in setting up my church's Livestream.
    My setup
    1) NDI HX Camera on the iPad (connects via WiFi), previously used an omnidirectional mic connected to the iPad.
    2) OBS PC with NDI(connected via LAN)
    Last week we decided to pick Audio from the FOH Mixer into OBS and Dutch the audio coming from the iPad, there was sync issues, I tried to offset the sync using audio delay but we had situation where it synced perfectly and later got out of sync. I concluded the NDI HX connection over the WiFi is the culprit, so now I've decided to connect via LAN.
    My concern now is, we are planning on adding a second iPad for audience view, how do I manage the audio? If we sync audio for the main camera, do we have to sync audio for the secondary camera? Considering that the audio source (FOH Mixer audio) is essentially the same in OBS.

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  4 года назад

      Yes, you need to delay each input to your slowest source. If something is in sync and then gets out of sync, that's usually due to buffering. The computer wasn't able to keep up for some reason and had to buffer.

  • @jeffturner6384
    @jeffturner6384 2 года назад

    Thanks for video. How would you suggest live streaming church service from QU-24 to iphone or ipad for Facebook Live? Should I utilize usb output on mixer to device or should I use an analog output through a mix bus with xlr to 1/4" or 1/4" to 1/4"? I have direct boxes to reduce to mic level or I can purchase equipment used in your video. I realize I will have to setup usb routing if you recommend usb route. My question is not about how to set mix bus as mirrored main or independent as you have covered that very well but as a hardware question. The distance from mixer to ipad/iphone is 20 to 30 ft. Thanks

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  2 года назад

      I don't think you'll be able to run USB from the QU to an iPhone or iPad because it requires a specific driver from A&H. (I may be wrong, have you tried connecting the USB to your iPad to see if the audio device shows up?) You'll most likely need to go analog and use an analog audio interface in to the iDevice. If you can find one that takes line level all the better, I've connected a generic Lexicon audio device to an iPad and it worked.

    Great video Steven. I have a question regarding digital vs analog mixers. My church recently upgraded from a Mackie CFX-16 to a Allen and Heath QU-32. The audio for our livestream was coming off the Mackie board via RCA connection to a C-labs a/v amplified router and sent to our computer using an Elegato USB capture device. We are still able to stream video but we are not getting any audio going out on the livestream. My question is how can I recapture the audio back through the a/v router or is the digital signal not compatible with the Elegato capture device. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. God bless you for what you do for the church volunteer community.

      You can try using some isolation headphones like these: amzn.to/2D6v7Fs Then use the recording each week to inform your decisions going forward. Evaluate how much low end you had, room mic volume, etc and make adjustments knowing what you heard in the headphones and what it actually end up sounding like on the recording to inform each other and help get a better mix.

    Help please! I have a Panasonic an AG-HVX200 and a couple of more newer small Sony camcorders. I am working in stream labs and I have been able to establish all the cameras in the feed with video and audio but I am having a lag issue. I am using my Presonus 16.4.2 AI Along with a Yamaha MG 16 XU, the latter one being our direct streaming soundboard as the pre-cylinders does not have HDMI or USB outs. We are a six piece band and we are looking to of course live stream but also to improve on the quality of our work. Our biggest issue is that we are having a lag that we can’t seem to offset even following the general RUclips tutorials that claim to be able to fix it but have not in our case. So if you could give us any pointers on how to fix the lag issue and also how we might be able to better incorporate our personas board. We are using a Razer Ripsaw and a cheap HDMI along with a digital conversion unit to get the Panasonic feed into a digital format. So lagging is our biggest issue. We input our audio into the direct inns on cameras Which is then running to stream labs. Nothing we have done seems to help and I really did think that running it straight in the camera where it would join with the video and give us something closer to reality, but that has not happened! Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time

    We use a Behringer XAir mixer, and all of our instruments are connected directly to the mixer. Do you think that could be the problem? I saw a video where you had amps in some other room, and microphones on those amps. Why do you do that? Let me know, thanks.
