How a Radio Station Works : Radio Station Equipment: On-Air Mixing Board

this guy has never heard of the gain function..

This is a broadcast mixer. Mackie doesn't make a mixer with all the features an old broadcast mixer has.

how do i put the phone on my radio im using a 4 watt station

[SmashCOBamberg]

@cleosimble u r probably gonna need a special phone with an audio output and input jack. Or you could just use a regular one and hack it up by opening it up and tapping into the connections.

Nice video, though who in the world still uses this Flintstones mixer (besides you of course) ?

Honestly , the Mackie is two generations above the main mixer. Why not using the Mackie as the main mixer and the old Fred Flintsone as the secondary mixer?

Does anyone else get freakin annoyed by the words on the video!?!?! If I wanted to read about it I wouldn't be on YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!

[jeeisenz]

Very nice. it should also be noted that some studios have their board wired to trigger "remote starts". What this mean is the second you open a channel (turn it on) , it sends a signal to whatever input you selected to start playing. So if you don't have something cued right, it can burn you.

IMHO, there's a time/place for 'nit-picking' the idiosyncrasies of another person's video...and Youtube isn't one of them! Consider the 'crowd' who is watching the video and then ask yourself.."would they know what a potentiameters is, or would that just confuse them more?

i love when idiot s like you comment on videos pretending to be a genius. oh and fyi u do not want to peak at the red. The red signals that the station has to amplify the sound to get it to that desired level......its ok for music to max in the mid reds

[JTtheLAR]

@cks1001 I still try to keep it out of the red.

I find it hilarious that he calls a 20 odd year old ward beck console aka "board" ancient. It's seen some better days be the look of it....

I'm running a rotary pot QRK console thta's almost 40 years old on my internet stream

still, very good basic explanation. using the mackey to expand the input capability of the WBS...very common practice in any radio studio.

thanks for the reply!

as re: ancient:

i just don't want to give the impression that we are running some kind of 'modern' operation here... we look pretty sad compared to people with today's digital boards. but it's nice to know we're not alone!

[SunnyShahFilms]

@snarfdude internet stream, so ppl listen your radio on internet ? huh
