How to Use an Audio Mixer Board Tutorial Mixing

Hi Adam, what is the meaning of PFL buttton and its purpose?thank you

💖

Po-ten-chee-om-it-or

where did you get your mixer, can you please put a link down?!

Hi, my name is Robson, i am From Brasil, Greetings, I hope you are well, I need some help, I have this table, but it has no power supply, can you tell me its specifications: Input x Output and Amperage?
In advance, thank you very much!

Why do we need 48 volts to run a condenser microphone ?

I have a similar board and I want to do a simple mic into the board and to the interface. I have an outboard EQ which has a set of RCA input jacks and RCA output jacks. I don't know how to connect it to EQ the mic. How do I connect all that up?

Thanks for doing this.

Very usefull for me, Adam, thouhg I have no PFL anyway. Thanx!

I can verify everything Adam said in this video is correct.

Who are you speaking to? I'm not a beginner and can say - you're not a teacher...

Was this made in the 90's? That Beringer looks like they got it out of the bottom of a stuffed closet. I'm sure they cleaned it off with a damp rag and said, "just use that one for the damned tutorial."

This is too confusing

Or some thing like that. I`m wondering if this guy knows what he`s talking about. Why didn`t he tell us which mixer he was demonstrating from the beginig. He makes me nourvous `cause he can`t talk proper like.

You people act as if mixing boards are an out dated form of technology that's no longer in use, at all, currently in the music industry. When in reality sound company's that are significantly experienced, with great notoriety in the live sound reinforcement technology industry, do shows for some very well known majority label artists, all while utilizing the incredibly useful support of a mixing board. Although, I will say, that in most instances more sophisticated, as well as far more technologically enhanced mixing boards are typically implemented than the small mixing board depicted in the video shown above.

I learn something new today

he sounds like TimTheTatMan hahah... good video mate

You were concerned leaving the Behringer mixer on unattended, that it might catch on fire. I hate to tell you bro but the Behringer gear, the early stuff that came out back in the day...that was an actual concern when the gear was in use during a live event or a budget recording session. It’d start sparking and smoking and then burst into flames. No joke 😆. It even had a built-in alarm system. When sparks and smoke started up, there’d be this gawd awful screeching in the mains and then everything would go quiet. That’s when the flames would start coming out of the back where the power input was.

That description is from a personal experience of mine at a church where I was the board operator about 20 years ago. I’m sitting at the desk minding the store during the sermon and I thought I saw some sparks shooting out of the vent slits over where the power cable went in and then i thought I saw smoke. When it screeched, died and caught fire, I hit the master switch to off on the power conditioner, grabbed the fire extinguisher that was next to the desk that the board sat on and as I was hosing the base of the flames with retardant, I exclaimed loudly, “Come out of him Satan. Be ye cast out of poor brother Behringer. The power of Jesus compels you. Leave him beelzebub.” About then I got the fire put out. There was some laughter and some applause. That’s probably my funniest FOH board operator experience and why for the next 10 years I’d not touch anything with the Behringer brand on it that used more than a 9 volt battery.

Do you have any links you can post for the software you are using to test out the board?

Anyone know how to get your bass guitar sound to come out of the bass drum using a mixing board

Have the same board. Can confirm it's shitiness. Channels burn out while I'm sleeping lol

The fore head

So confusing...you shouldnt make tutorials

Would you look at that!!! I unearthed some of my dad's stuff, found a mixing board, but I don't know how to use one - a lot of stuff to look at. To the "internets" I went, find a video tutorial of some individual who is nice enough to share his know-how about mixer boards. Knowing that it's probably going to be the same concept across different brands, I clicked on the thumbnail from google results regardless of what the brand might be. Lo and behold! I have exactly the same mixer! MX2004A - only yours is blue. I have a silver variant. Haha! I couldn't be any happier!

Very recently (2019), for the first time in quite sometime, I felt the pull to go back to an analog desk, after watching videos and reading articles about the new SSL Origin analog console ( especially since its priced at around $50k, which is ridiculously inexpensive for an SSL).
Starting out in ‘79/‘80, I came up in the era of tape machines, LFC’s, OB Racks and Patch Bays, and while there are some things that I DON’T miss about those days, I really do miss the tactile side of the craft; and, there was definitely something about the sonic vibe that was unique...
It seemed that mixes were easier ( and quicker) to dial in on a desk, than on a DAW. Perhaps it was was because of the inherent limitations of the format; the fact that we weren’t obsessing (or couldn’t) over every tiny, minute detail, as can be done very easily in a DAW. Decisions had to be made, and committed to, because there wasn’t the hundreds of tracks available, with frame accurate editing and the easy ability to move things around on the timeline in the song. And the sound seemed to come together more quickly, with a pleasing cohesion and smoothness...
But... then I’m jarred back to reality, and I remember the other side of analog, the not so good things: constant maintenance of desks and tape machines, editing tape with a grease pencil, razor blade, editing block and editing tape-and there was no “undo” button if you messed up an edit. In addition to that, the electric bill, as a result of having all that gear powered up all the time, the seemingly endless miles of cable to tie in every OB processor and tape machine track to every patch point on a 144 pt TT bay, that was connected to every aux, insert, DO, DI, and track and bus send and return of the desk... along with “total recall”, which in fact wasn’t even close to being “total” at all...
I still think your video is valuable though- it’s a great lesson in signal chain, routing, gain structure, etc., and the knowledge of these things can easily be translated to virtual consoles in DAW’s.
Thanks. 🙏

Awesome video!!! This helped me a lot!

Is that Ron Howard’s brother????

Hello,
How are you?
I hope all is well.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

I recently both a Yamaha mg12xu audio mixer.
Can you please give me some guidance, detail instruction, diagram on how to connect the following equipment together:
1 pioneer djm mixer
3 power amplifiers
1 behringer equalizer fbq3102
1 bbe 882i sonic maximizer
2 shure wireless microphone


Thank you so much for your time, I look forward to your reply.
Have a good day.

Thank you,

apollo justice brought me here

Is it true that the very best microphones in the world are your ears?

You did not explain why you moved slider up to 0 db

It has been a few years ago since I last use an audio mixer board. This instructional video is a great help for me to review how it is operated. I would like to ask how you call that player that appears on the left side of the video screen. I've seen that in an audio vault or monitor before.

Great tutorial, cut your nails bro.

I found this video useful

This guy looks like he eats toe fungus.

Worst

nice i want v bucks

Thanx

What app do you use?

OMG BRO YOU LOOK LIKE LESTER FROM GTA V

Do all mixers have dual 1/4 cable output?
