Don't apologize. I am ALSO a long time "studio recording engineer" of DECADES and if you KNOW how to use "signal to noise ratio" to your advantage, have an EAR and then use your expertise as a producer you can make beautiful audio things happen with even a 4-track 1/8" cassette with overdubs/ping-ponging tracks on said 1/8" cassette ... trust me... kids these days have no idea how many THOUSANDS of $$$ even old-school producers THINK YOU NEED to make something sound "good". I will say this to those EGOs... it's ART. Get over yourselves. Great video. Thank you... not sure HOW i found this youtube? but i will leave or just keep typing until....
Maybe it's Audacity even:
(Audacity prefs, audio i/o)
In the "Recording" section use the "Channels" dropdown menu to select the number of channels you wish to use. A "Channel" (also known as a "track") refers to the number of audio signals you wish to use to record or playback. A mono recording uses one audio signal (1 channel), and a stereo recording records two audio signals (2 channels).
Audacity defaults to "1 (mono)" so you can leave it at this if you are recording from a mono audio input. Most microphones are only capable of producing a mono signal. Select "2 (stereo)" if you are recording from a stereo audio input such as a cassette or mini disc player (or a stereo microphone). It is possible to select up to 16 channels but do not select more than 2 unless you have something other than a 'normal' sound card.
I'm not sure it's that, I'm usually good about setting Audacity to record with two channels, and looking back at the master file, it says that the track is in stereo, and shows two waveforms. The direct feed version was done through another computer running Audacity, and the stereo there came out fine.
@@bax2004 When you create an audacity project you specify if the recording will be in mono or stereo but the Audio i/o section in preferences is different to this, so it's possible to be creating a stereo file from a mono source and Audacity defaults to mono in the audio i/o.
Check the mixer settings on your computer. I think the computers input is set to mono/center. If you pan the left and right channels on the computers mixer, perhaps you can get stereo. It might default to centre so that it is easy for people to use microphones. Worth checking as there might not be a problem at all. So far the mixer seems to be sounding okay at least from this youtube video. Maybe run a few things in and get a mix going for another video.
I have done that (in fact the computer I used that day to record the video was completely different to the one I typically use). I have run the same test with the mixer's internal recorder recording to a flash drive and it is also in mono (VLC's media info even said it is in mono, and there are no options to change that on the mixer's firmware).
Checking the mixer setting on the computer it says that I am running on analog stereo duplex (so stereo in stereo out), so we seem to be good there.
THANK YOU! i commented on the other video about bad audio! lol
Can this mixer be used with a DAW? Controlling the DAW faders etc?
Unfortunately it cannot. The built in USB/bluetooth connection is only able to handle audio recording and playback, not anything that would allow for DAW control (like MIDI CC).
Thanks for the shout out!
It definitely sounded mono when you were in usb mode. Not a dealbreaker, as I've seen many live videos done in mono that sound surprisingly good.
.... But the noise you demonstrated was what I consider to be the biggest of the caveats you were talking about.)
I didn't hear it as much in the audio coming from your mic... which is promising, since I'm only wanting the mixer to stream live bands.
Would you agree with that assessment? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a name brand mixer at 3x the price?
I would agree with that assessment, really the noise i was referring to was a not-too-high pitched whine (and only noticeable with volume turned up) when the USB port is plugged into a computer, and all faders are down. The noise was a bit higher in the video because the background music was coming from a cassette tape i recorded for a previous review (with noise reduction turned off). The compressor i added in post may have also had something to do with it.
@@bax2004 thanks again. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
These look OK but how does anyone get by without any effects especially no reverb? What is the REP knob for btw?
I guess external effects would help people get by. There is the AUX send/return bus for that. The REP knob is for setting how many times the sound repeats before completely going silent.
What effects do you use? What do you expect?
COULD I RUN A WHOLE BAND THROUGH THIS MIXER FOR A LIVE PERFORMANCE?
You probably could, it depends on the size of your band.
@@bax2004 CAN YOU PLEASE SUGGEST A GOOD AMP OF A MODERATE PRICE TO PAIR WITH THE MIXER? THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE.
@@larvael32 im not really sure if i can suggest a good amp because i don’t use this mixer for live performance type things. I also haven’t looked in that part of the pro audio space in a while.
soo many wasted word. i cant figure out what this is about. maybe aderall
