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

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.

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

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?

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! :)

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
