Nice Job sir! I find it amazing how simple things can be when the instructor teaches from the heart. Your appreciation and knowledge of sound and recording techniques is apparent in the ease with which you can convey it to people watching your videos. Thanks!
@motojeff jeff ive been interning at a theatre for 6 months and have been waiting for the sound guy to teach me what youve taught me in 40 minutes. a dvd with additional things would help as well. very happy about your videos and i truly appreciate it.
Jeff, you are a very good teacher. I have already learned a lot and I'm only on vid #5! I would most definitely buy your DVD. Keep up the good work man!
another good video. I would like to add that phantom power can be on at any time with most mics that do not need it. I do not advise it because its better to be safe than sorry. If anyone out there has a ribbon mic and a cheap board that does not have phantom switches, or only has a master phantom switch, be very careful about not sending phantom power to a ribbon mic. It usually, especially on older mics, will instantly burn the ribbon out. you will see smoke and that will be the end of it
@braden90 Yes - that can be accomplished by routing the signals (i.e all drum mics) to a sub-group, and then place the compressor/EQ/whatever... on that sub group as an insert
@rolandiron I prefer a good guitar mic, you dont get the right sound if you go direct. Unless you are wanting a clean sound. part 2- I would suggest using inserts on the sub groups for a compressor, to get an overall compression,
I did not know that,,, letting the smoke out of the microphones is always a bad thing. I appreciate your feedback on my other videos and will be very careful with ribbon microphones.
Hey Jeff, maybe you should cover the differance beetween ballanced and unballanced signals. I allready understand it, burt I think it would be good to tell people on that.
You were going a little bit fast (for my learning abilities anyway :P) But all in all these are great videos. This has helped me a lot so good job (Y) Great info and not boring :) Congrats
does the direct out mean channel solo and works post insert jack i.e. vocal in -> compressor -> reverb -> path to other channel for mix effect and take out, like I need take out channel from master mix (i.e fader down) and send somewhere else like use two colums independently
I have the Allen and Heath mixwizard console on the inputs it has a selector switch or button labeled line or pad does this mean that you can have a line and an XLR connected and toggle between the two?
@85bmw528eguy Yeah,,, I did not write the numbers on the back. It was another soundguy who used my mixer. I tried and tried to get those stupid numbers off. He used some kind of paint pen. Carb cleaner, lacquer thinner, and rubbing compound - nothing worked .... Note to other people who own mixers. Make sure the guy who uses your equipment knows he can't modify it. Even if he's renting it from you for 6 months.
Well yeah, Midas, Studer, Digitech, are some of the top of the line mixers out there. All starting at 20 to $30,000.... In that price range the Allen and Heath, Yamahas, and Soundcrafts are just as good... maybe better in some areas. I assume you took out an OLD worn out mixer?
hey how can we send individual track from DAW to an analog mixer to do the mix do you know if you do please help and what do i need to make work thanks
I have a question, I have had a LOT of emails asking me to make a quality DVD covering all of this information. I am considering this but before I do (and spend the money to make it)- can you give a thumbs up to this comment if you honestly think you would purchase a DVD covering everything from mixers, to equipment to speaker and amp set up? Thanks, Jeff
@bradliebler Ha Ha Ha,,, Seriously? You need to give more input for that answer, how many channels, what is the use, how many monitor outs, and is it going to be portable or installed....
Nice Job sir! I find it amazing how simple things can be when the instructor teaches from the heart. Your appreciation and knowledge of sound and recording techniques is apparent in the ease with which you can convey it to people watching your videos. Thanks!
For someone that is starting music adventure it is real treasure to get this knowledge. Once more big thanks for this tutorial video. Great job!

Thanks for explaining Phantom for the first time to me. I always wondered why it was there.
You was extremely helpful and I truly want to thank you for this video I'm a beginner at mixing and you made it allot easier for me. Much appreciation
I liked the way you clearly explained it all. Thank you and keep on keeping on, sound is love.
I will have more advanced videos on how to use a mixer when I get the time. Im glad I am able to share some of my experience to help others.

Dude, your videos rock. I'm learning so much.
@braden90 Yes - that can be accomplished by routing the signals (i.e all drum mics) to a sub-group, and then place the compressor/EQ/whatever... on that sub group as an insert
the cable used to connect it is an I/O or an input/output, so the signal is carried back on the same cable
yes,,, the main inserts can be used for eq's and compressors over the whole signal
@drummerb0y117 Cords? The mic cords? yes they all use XLR mic style cables.
@rolandiron I prefer a good guitar mic, you dont get the right sound if you go direct. Unless you are wanting a clean sound.
part 2- I would suggest using inserts on the sub groups for a compressor, to get an overall compression,
No problem, I hope this helps you a bit
I did not know that,,, letting the smoke out of the microphones is always a bad thing. I appreciate your feedback on my other videos and will be very careful with ribbon microphones.
@movie14editer I thought I did, but it turns out that was for a music magazine that I wrote for, I will get more vids up soon
@rolandiron I am going to start working on a good DVD, since I am getting enough response to make it worth while...
@motojeff yeah,i would buy it bro...

@SNIPER7631 thx
great job!
Would that be a better way to hook up the EQ etc? I have them hooked up in series ... Out of board, into EQ, out of EQ, into amp ... etc.
Thank you sir, i learn a lot !

@drummerb0y117" Put out the same?" that is a very open question.. Same of what? signal? range? max dB? what exactly are you asking?
Great video...please use a tripod and focus thank you.
I have the Allen and Heath mixwizard console on the inputs it has a selector switch or button labeled line or pad does this mean that you can have a line and an XLR connected and toggle between the two?
how to take different outputs from a mixer to a soundcard to make multi track recording.
I have "main ins" on the back of my Behringer 2442. What it this used for?
If i put a "compressor" in there would that compress everything?
Did you say you'd use the line in for s wireless mic?? Why?? I have an xlr cable from the receiver to the channel. Is that wrong?
@lawdawg139 thx

So with insert cables you can loop effects ? but wouldnt that cause major feed back and overdrive ? Help !!!
can line inputs be stereo or single channels ? or we can only pan mono singles any way we want ?
hey how can we send individual track from DAW to an analog mixer to do the mix
do you know if you do please help and what do i need to make work
thanks
Thank u so much

@bradliebler They are nice,,,
@RileyBurgess Allen & Heath GL2400. (:
how much is a Soundboard
I most likely would watch your youtube videos. If you haven't already, I would suggest monetizing your videos with google adsense.
@unarchi :)
