Audio Excellence: Mixer Setup 101

[version2media]

does a mixer from a PA system work the same as this mixer or are they different?

for example, like this mixer below? I saw this at a local audio shop, would this work or live broadcasting such as play by play for games/podcasting?

Stagg SMIX 4M4S US Multi-Channel Stereo Mixer

Thanks for that Steve, i've been out of practice and it seems your videos are the best help i've found online so far. Great videos! :)

[livemusicjames]

Steve, great video. One question, should the individual channel faders be set to 0, when you are controlling the incoming signal with the gain control, to set the meters correctly. regards James

Shot steve this video helped alot.....Amios de vunchi_!

[bigbangcreation]

bro that was awesome. the song isnt that bad 'TAKE ON ME'. why do so many mixers don't have xlr outputs? this one is just str8 4ward. churr 4 that cuz.

[audioexcellence]

yea..many of the cheaper mixers use 1/4 inch outputs because they are cheaper to buy and the holes for such connectors can be drilled instead of machine cut. thanks so much for the feedback and comment. we are very glad it was helpful. thanks

[ercspy]

@audioexcellence .... can i connect my guitar in this mixer

[mrtheroosterdude]

The song wasn't too good, but your video really helped. My friends and i are 13 and trying to start a band, and we all have no experience with mixers so thanks this video really made our lives a lot easier.

[audioexcellence]

i agree the song isn't good...but it was free. glad the video helped and thanks for writing!

[123lott123]

can anyone help me hook up my turntables and mic through my mixer, and have the mixer out to my computer so i could record scratching?

[csantos1964]

Masterfader(s) is/are the main outputs on the right, in the case of this mixer called main mix, the individual channel volumes are called channel faders or input faders.

Haha "I'm not from England"!

[audioexcellence]

[audioexcellence]

thanks jiffijaffi!

does a Behringer mixer come with a cable?? and if so will i be able 2 plug dis cable into an m-audio usb inetrface?!?

[audioexcellence]

it come with a power cable. depending on the model of bhringer mixer. usually an m-audio box has xlr inputs..you will need to come out the channels either with a direct out (probably quarter inch) or the main outputs (which could be either xlr or quarter inch depending on the model of mixer) and into your m audio device. hope this helps...

[QuoteMe93]

can u give me links 2 buy all f dis!??!

IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL !

[QuoteMe93]

i might get dese mixers can utell if dey come wid cables i need!??!

Behringer EURORACK UB802 Mixer

and

Behringer EURORACK UB1202 Mixer

are dese good?!?

[audioexcellence]

they are alright for a cheaper mixer. they will come with a power supply and you will need turnaround to get from quarter inch to xlr so that you can use the left and right outputs to send to your maudio interface.

[QuoteMe93]

can help on what 2 type in [google] ?? so i can buy them!

[AverageJoeFlims]

I love that song take on me

[audioexcellence]

thanks so much! we like it too...
