Dude it’s like y’all read my mind. I was just thinking about this like 3 hours ago!
Mind readers.
So a tip to go off of that is to do as Ozark said come out of you controller into separate channels on the mixer, but. when you come out of the external Main mixer one of the outs should go to your subs and the other out should got to your tops. and then sub should be daisy chain as well tops. so tops to tops and sub with sub. This is how the pan he did will trully work. So Now you have independant control of your subs/low and you tops separately. If you are usiing colum array speakers with out another sub..Than you dont have to do all of this just one cable from controller to mixer and one main out than dasiy chain. Happy Gigging
Good one boss! I’ve barely used external mixers in my time, but I can see the value of having an external to be able to control some of those features and to get better sound.
External mixer = CONTROL!
Great video! What's your thoughts on Mackie Mixers? I have considered getting one because i would like to have an output for subs. The ability to have my subs & 12s on different output sources would be great to me.
We’re all in. They’ve served us well. Mackie has been in the game for a minute and we love the ability to mute in the board itself. This little mixer is perfect for the events we run.
Oh no!!!!!! I was a fan until you held the microphone... lmao!!! Noooo!! The other 99% of the video is spot on!! One other thing some Sound Engineers may disagree with is running XLR (Line) into an XLR (mic) the way you ran your controller to your mixer, but I say as long as it doesn't sound distorted, then you're good... The "ideal" way should be XLR From the Controller into 1/4" on the Mixer (Mackie in this example) but same two channels and you are absolutely correct about the panning!!
No way would we adapt the XLR down to 1/4 when we can go direct. One less option to fail. As for the mic placement, it’s not being covered up. We’re chilling in the studio, not at an event.
@@ozarkmixdj It's equally as bad, muscle memory and you're showing people, by example, how to hold the mic. I'm not sure how 1/4 inch would fail... what I'm referring to is that XLR on your mixer is designed for a Mic input, which is lower in gain. Mackie would not put 1/4 plugs if they were designed to "fail" As a matter of fact , most external mixers make it a point to include 1/4 inch plugs... not to fail, but to make sure there are enough Line inputs.
@@DJFrancisco Thanks for the input. Much love.
I second the XLR to 1/4”
Rev! Thanks for the tip!
Any time!
Always looking out. 💪🏆
solid tips
Rev! What's good homie!
Which external mixer is that? I need one
Mackie! We love them.
Mackie ProFX10v3
So for your left & right pan, is your channel that’s all the way left, the left XLR running to the left speaker? Or does it matter?
It doesn’t matter honestly. As long as one channel is full left and the other is full right it’ll give you true stereo separation.
The XLR inputs on the Mackie mixer are mic input and your sending a line signal from the Rand One. Thats a no no! You want to use the 6.5mm jack "Line" inputs for the signal coming from the Rane One. Mic inputs have pre amps in them sending a line signal creates a hot signal not good my friend.
Are you running your software output mono or stereo ?
Always stereo
