- Come along and learn how to get started from plugging a microphone or instrument into the Ui24r then setting up proper gain structure, set up the EQ, learn what a Compressor does, how do I set up a Gate?!?! Take it from plugging in to a live performance! Let me know what questions you have or what you want me to cover!
Leave it in the comments below!!!
Best video on this product out
Thanks! More to come. Ringing out a room and Interface Setup are coming soon!!!!
I have bought Ui24r for the church and will be installing this week. Your video is amazing and very straightforward to the subject. God bless you brother
Thank you!🙏 I was tasked with running my cover bands sound, since our old guitar player moved out of state. I was able to get by the first time but this video DEFINITELY will help me clean up what I noticed was a little off. 😬
Thank you!!!! Happy to help, throw questions my way if you have any questions
Totally enjoyed the tutorial and would like info on setting up and how to use view groups and how to upgrade mixer to Big D mode. Didn’t think I could use it on 15' MacBook Pro
Great video thank you. Could you elaborate on the recording function. So far my levels for the stereo and multi track recording seem too low. I don’t quite understand how to bring up the gain for that.
Sure, it all starts with a good game structure from the beginning. You have to make sure your gains are set right your levels are all hitting about -12 DB and relatively balanced. Then,
your multitrack and stereo recordings are picking up essentially what is going out in front of house. The easiest way to increase that gain level on your recording is to bring your master left right up to unity.
Then mix your live output as you would, and that should give you better gains.
Let me know
Hello, thank you for this video. Very helpful. Since you are doing many many Live events. Could you please share an exported JSON (Shows) file with a good setup? That will help us users like beginner users to analyze and learn from your full settings and logic. Once again thanks a lot for sharing t her knowledge.
Hello, thank you for this idea. And yes I will share one. Please subscribe to the channel as I am soon releasing a podcast that will cover a lot of these topics in depth. I look forward to working with you in the future. Let me know if you have any other questions.
You are doing it backwards. As a professional sound engineer I can say that without reservation before you can talk about setting levels on the console you must first set your amps to "Nominal" Nominals mean they are set to the highest level without attenuation. Usually this is "-0- ". The way I know a sound engineer ( Sound person) has no idea about theory is when I see the faders all over the place. To set up your mixer properly, you set the channel fader first, not last. All the channel faders should start at the "-0- or whatever the Nominal is, then the gain is added until you begin hearing feedback and then back it off enough to get some head room. If your channel faders are all over the place this means you didnt set up the gain function correctly. Go to any major concert and look at the faders, they are 90% across the screen, with one or two at maybe up to 20% dip. By the way I am on a number of some top performers live albums and have been a professional stadium sound engineer for 40+ years. Also when you are setting up your EQ on any channel ( Noting that you have ran a tone generator for the room EQ's for the Main output first and that is set) You can be more precise if you hit the RTA on any channel and see with your eyes how any person speaks/sings and adjust the EQ accordingly. The RTA will show you the persons exact heights and valleys, and you can adjust the accordingly. Also, if you set your EQ correctly you really dont need a de-esser. I would only insult people if I told you why they put De-essers and feedback eliminators on mixers now.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am aware of your method of mixing and it is a valid style. I’m unfamiliar with the term nominal, but I do know the term “unity gain”…. Which I believe are the same thing according to your description. And you are correct I forgot to mention, in this case the powered speakers, should be set to unity. Thank you for that observation. With respect to doing it “backwards” I believe that is an overstatement. The word I would use is “different.” There are multiple ways to skin a cat. Much like the term -Nominal- vs -Unity Gain- neither are wrong, just different. I learned something today from your method, now my toolbox is a little fuller, thank you. I’m impressed with your resume, congratulations. So, my question is, if all faders are at unity or “90%” as I could clearly see if I ever attended one of the concerts that you or your peers engineered and the gains are backed off just below feedback, how do you “mix” the individual levels. I.e. one vocalist louder than the other, or boost a guitar solo? Anyway, thanks again for your input, much appreciated and really brought clarity to is “sound guys”.
Thanks for your comment it's sort of validates my non-professional thoughts on gain structure as well, what's my first experience with digital mixing. I think early on there were a a few problems with some inferior preamps which made the learning curve a little rough. RTA is an awesome way to learn. I remember older sound guys back in the day who used stand-alone units back in the day. What amazes me is how different rooms can be and how things can change with an influx of a crowd. I'm just a dumb bass player singer who's been lucky enough to learn from respect and sound guys.
I don't think it works that way in this software. If you set the mix fader to 0 you get no sound. I believe this is an intentional feature so you can get your gain dialed in without pushing any sound out tot he house. then you can adjust your mix accordingly as you bring up the levels.
