Absolutely exceptional. Expertise at the highest level, combined with a flawless presentation. Not only does Kyle possess a truly great understanding of all things audio, but he is a quite brilliant teacher, and having those two qualities side by side is so very rare. The very best of audio TH-camrs. Period.
The best free university with excellent and clear examples. A truly professional channel which teaches better than most traditional schools do. Mackie has chosen a good channel to sponsor. Looks like a neat little device if you are looking for such a thing
Thank you, I've been stumped for weeks on how those buttons on a mixer work. I've also been looking for tutorials, but most of them are too complicated. Finally I found this. I finally understand the buttons on a mixer.
These days no one bother to read 'user manual' until they face some serious issues with it. That's where these kind of presentations help us learn a lot, even more than the manual, like those tips and tricks. Well done!
Excellent! This should be mandatory viewing for any budding audio engineer. I wish I had it when I was learning the science in the 1960's! I really like the way you take everything step-by-step, from start to finish, leaving nothing unexplained.
Even though I don't have much use for it, I'm enjoying learning about production analogue equipment from this channel! I've always found this stuff interesting. When I was in school, we had lots of mixer boards like this (but older and cheaper). Some in the music/theater building, and even one to control the gym audio system. The one for the theater was the most advanced by far. There was a booth in the back of the building that had all the audio equipment, as well as the controls for the stage lighting. There was a massive equipment stack in the corner, full of gear I couldn't even begin to identify! I was once in charge of this booth for a theater production. I figured out the mic levels and the lighting controls (I made a script for where each slider needed to be at each scene), but everything else was a mystery. I was told just to ignore the equipment rack, because there was only one person who knew how to use it! Unfortunately the building was left unlocked one night, and someone stole a lot of the equipment.
Absolutely the best instructional video I've ever seen regarding mixer boards! Thank you so much for this. I've watched this video about 5 times and each time, I have learned something new that I missed before. Well done.
Glad to hear this, Robert! We’re heading in the right direction! Check out this video next: th-cam.com/video/Zdl3_3Zf5F4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eK1jDp3j6t3urPmy
It's great that you inform using a piece of equipment that is actually affordable to the average Joe. I like to ohh ahh and drool at the latest Neve board. The channel strips are essentially the same as my Soundcraft. Videos like this help us understand that our 'what we can afford' equipment is fully capable of turning out the tunes. 73
A very good explanation for those of us that use digital boards. It is always great to know the basics for whichever type board one has. Thank for the video!!!
I was a camera guy for sports broadcasts for years but a shoulder injury kept me out for a little bit. My producer wanted to keep me working so he started putting me on audio. I got comfortable enough doing it that I just kinda stayed there. Next thing I know, I end up getting put on as a full time audio guy for a baseball team and still have absolutely no clue what I'm doing so I'm just absolutely binging these videos. Thanks!
This has to be the best audio mixer breakdown that I’ve seen thus far! I am a novice at setting one up the right way for my podcast and have been looking for a video that could help me over the years and finally found this one! Shoutout to Audio University!🙌🏾
Best video on using a mixer I have come across. Just upgraded from a Yamaha stagepass to an RCF F 12XR and had no idea on what most of the settings did but I feel 95% confident I could use it now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Another great tutorial Kyle thanks....When I got to use my first-ever mixer at Audio University, it was a 32-track (I think) Neve VR Legend and I was totally overwhelmed by the beast! But one of the most reassuring & enlightening pieces of information given by our tutor was the fact that each channel strip was just a duplicate of the previous one....
Just wow! Thank you so much for the best in-depth explanation! Every single detail including the reasons behind labels 11/12 was great, even a non technical person could understand. You are a great teacher!
This is the type of information that I’ve been looking for, now all I have to do is try and follow your advice. Thanks from a ‘ol timer from New Zealand 🇳🇿.
Thank you! This video was extremely helpful! I was struggling with getting my band's mix right (I am by no means a sound man, but since I own the PA equipment, I inherited the job). Interestingly, I used to use a Mackie ProFX12v3 mixer, but upgraded to a Yamaha DM3 digital board because I needed more inputs. BIG difference in the way they operate, but the basic principles are the same. Anyway, our powered speakers are two LD Systems Maui 28 column arrays along with two QSC CP-8's. I used to set everyone's gain, set the speakers to about 75%, set the master to somewhere around -10 dB, then and adjust everyone's sliders to get the volume we wanted. This sort of worked, but the sound was less desirable than I had hoped for. After watching your video, I tried setting the master and individual sliders to unity, then bringing up the speakers until the volume was right as you recommended. Sounds much better now, especially the electric guitar (running through a Fender Tonemaster Pro). You are a true expert in audio engineering and I appreciate the help you've given me and my band! 🙂
This guys way of explaining things is fantastic. The speed he talks, his detail to very circumstance he didn't rush the best tutorial video I have watched and listened to in a long time keep it up P.s. I would love to shadow u for a few weeks and listen and learn everything I could from u
Another great step by step tutorial with diagrams and useful tips. Perhaps more beginners guide in the future as more older generations take up recording at home. A step-by-step guide for analogue hybrid system of mixing and match to connecting for both technologies. From connecting & mixing up drums and other instruments on to a DAW via analogue connections.
wow thank you i just bought my first mixer and have no clue... im going to be using it in my studio so iv been looking for set up info on this thank you
I JUST bought my first mixer (Allen and Heath GL2200) so this video dropped at the perfect time. 👌 Thank you for all of your stellar recourses for audiophiles and producers alike!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! At LAST a rundown of the features of this analogue mixer. I have the ProFX12v3 & being a bit of a newbie, I couldn't get my head around how to hook up a stage monitor. All sorted now. Cheers from Australia.
Great tutorial. I just wanted to add how amazing the audio sounds on your voice, which should come as no surprise, but I think it's worth pointing out. Excellent work.
I use a Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer which has much more basic features than that Mackie but the video was still quite informative. I use effects pedals connected via the send/return inputs on the mixer. I notice that when I use an effect in a channel, if I pan the signal extreme left or right, the effect itself is still heard in both channels, which sounds pretty cool.
Excellent 🎉 Your COURSE on EQ is outstanding and every easy to understand Who ever wants to learn EQ for music production this course is superb❤🎉 All your videos are the best , keep rising
Thank you for this video. What ever they are paying you it is not enough! Your clear explanation of this unit should help them sell a lot of these. I have a tascam model 12 that is an awful lot like this and have watched a bunch of videos on its use. Your explanation was perfect and will help me. Might have chosen the mackie if I had seen this first.
I have this mixer, just a generation older. I use it for streaming, and felt that I had done ok. Watching this video, made a few changes and already sounds tons better. Would absolutely love to see a video on setting up a way to use speakers and a mic when live streaming and it not pick up the sounds out of the speakers if that is possible.
Glad it’s helpful! Streaming with speakers, you’ll deal with two problems - echo and feedback. Check out these videos: th-cam.com/video/2zkCkei-Bqg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kK2rwH-Q4ThSN8h1 th-cam.com/video/z2ceO8D_MUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HzraNk7G8Ayc45dp
Great explanation! As much as I have learned about mixers in the last year or so (primarily via Audio U) I learned some new things in this video. Thanks!
Thank you. I remember about 3 years ago we had a musical at church one night. I was not involved at first. After the first rehearsal, I received a call. I was asked why they were getting feedback and if I may be able to help. the first thing I did was to look at their setup to understand what was going on. Once I determined what was happening I went to work. The speakers they were using we built into the ceiling, so there was nothing to be done there. Next, I looked at the mic placement to each other. I placed them a bit farther from each other. I added a mixer to the setup to help with feedback. Between using the EQ and gain I was able to get rid of the feedback while getting a good clear sound. It was a success. The only thing I requet was not recording it. Also, another time, I used a mixer to setup mics on stage. The performers would be running around on stage. So, I looped 8 mics from the rafters above and brought them down far enough to pick up the performers as they ran around. Again, using the EQ and the qain I was able to get the desired results. I am not a professional by any means, That is why your audio lessons are so helpful for me.
You could also run 4 speaker setup as such: (L) output run XLR to master speaker to another slave speaker. (R) Output run XLR to another master speaker to a slave speaker. There you go you have a 4 speaker setup. If you a DJ you can then plug in RCA's to your DJ controller from your mixer.
I have quite a weird mixer. It has two channels, that can be each assigned as either phono or line. Then it has a cross fader right at the bottom and even a DJ microphone input? I has been a lot of fun playing around with it. I even learned how to connect a single source to the two inputs such that the cross fader functions as a balance control Oh I totally forgot: it has no output level control. You set the output level with the two linear level sliders.
That sounds like a dedicated DJ mixer; with those you typically have two turntables - either old-school vinyl players, or modern digital ones, but the principle is the same - and when you play your records/songs, you use the crossfader to smoothly blend from one song as it nears the end to the next one that you have cued in while the first song is playing. The microphone input is for announcing the title/artist of the songs as you play them, or for other messages that may be appropriate. I hope this helps.
Wow! I been looking for this for a long long years. Thanks a lot! I hope you do some zoom in close up of the mixer parts for people who have poor eyesight!
One of your best explainer videos yet- thank you! The final section on inserts felt a bit rushed; would love to see more on that subject in a future video.
Great great stuff.. Thanks this video is giving so much value. I have personally put myself into the sound stuff at my Church, because the sound guy hasn't been so consistent, And we can't keep depending on him. Thank you so much.. I'll practice better now
Any time I've ever looked at a mixer board, I've felt so confused 😂 thanks to this video I understand a little more! Awesome video! By the way does anyone know what artist and song keeps getting played in the video?
While you covered inserts briefly, could you further explain on how to use inserts to feed a channel back into the next one (and do this possibly even several times) to use gain to distort a sound? The same way they created those mad distorted 909 gabber kicks in the 90's.
p.s. The best stage mic for feedback is hands down the Audix OM-7, it takes a while to learn proper mic technique and this mic is ONLY for those who have great mic technique. If you don't you will hate it, but if you do you will LOVE it
Thanks, once again for the great content. Impeccable production and didactics! (You've already touched these subjects in prior videos, but this one is sure an octave higher 🙂). Inspiration for all of us to do always better and better.
Simply explained, and practical as hell. Wish I knew about this channel years ago. Do you know a lot about the DAC chips in these? I know there are analog mixers and digital mixers, but is there a huge difference? The reason I ask is I have a Volt 276 interface, and I got curious one day and recorded a song from two different portable CD players. One with a 1-bit dac (a mid 90's Panasonic with a MASH chip) and one with a 16 bit dac (a late 90's Akai). Now if you plug headphones in each of these and listen - to my ears - I hear a wider sound stage, clearer instrument separation, and more detailed dynamics. But when I recorded them through my Volt 276, the waveforms were identical and so was the sound. The source I used was my 2nd japanese pressing of "Thriller." Very little if any compression and when you crank the volume, you get more detail instead of just headache-causing loudness. So, speaking of mixers that also act as interfaces - as stated in the beginning of the video - is an analogue mixer going to be able to pick up these more subtle nuances in the sound? I know analogue is thrown around quite a bit, and I know a lot of the more affordable audio interfaces use the same DAC chips, but for some reason when you mentioned mixers acting as interfaces, it triggered this memory. Apologies for the seemingly off-topic question, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Keep up the great work!
Analog and digital have advantages and disadvantages. Here's a video that might help answer some of these questions: th-cam.com/video/1YviIsCbT9Q/w-d-xo.html
Salam Hormat Dari MALAYSIA… TUAN… 😊 Terima Kasih Atas Perkongsian Ilmu… Saya Ada Soalan… Adakah Dibolehkan Mengguna “MAIN OUT” XLR & TRS Pada Yang Sama Atau Serentak? Terima Kasih Tuan… 😃
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. Just subbed. If this video is representative of your content, I'll be spending a lot of time on your channel, lol. Nice work.
Thank you for this outstanding video! If I wanted to send a signal out of the FX send jack, into a stereo effects unit and then out of the effects unit back into a stereo channel on the mixer, what kind of cable should I use? Would a standard insert cable work, or should I get something different?
So I just bought this exact mixer and I've been trying to find a straight answer about setting up two monitor sends. You're the first video to even mention it! Thank you. Just have a question though, if I use the FX Send as a second monitor channel, does that cancel out all effects being used? Since it's using the FX knobs for volume? Or did I misinterpret that. Basically I just want to know how to have two monitors on stage with this mixer AND if at all possible, two mixes, but I'd settle for just being able to use two monitors. Wish they'd label these a little better lol. My band mate uses a QSC touchmix 16 and the aux sends are clearly labeled. I got this to use for the trio but so far it's been a bit of a hassle.
The concepts for mixing keys help with mixing everything (and vice versa). Here’s a video that might help: th-cam.com/video/0fckQLQWhe0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6iFfRjSyGtYXhGFs
Awesome video, thank you! I have an AER Compact 60 acoustic amp, which I use for vocals AND guitar. It doesn't have level meters per-se.. only a little red light that flashes when it is peaking. Could you possibly show a tutorial on how to set levels on an AER amp please? :)
Excellent tutorial, however the one reason I watched is I want to use the USB for recording to my DAW, using the control room outputs. I have just bought a new profx12V3 of this mixer, and have struggled with the routing of this feature. Do I need to use only the left and right button, or also 1 and 2. Also disappointing that I’ll need XLR to TSR adapters for my studio monitor cables. I have 1 week left before I must return it to the music store. I’d then have to go back to my even older profx12V1, which is really easy to use but is less future proof.

Any time I've ever looked at a mixer board, I've felt so confused 😂 thanks to this video I understand a little more! Awesome video! By the way does anyone know what artist and song keeps getting played in the video?
Man I didn't even know I needed to learn this but i'm glad I clicked the video!! Much more confidence in my gear now.
You’ve solved my curiosity which I’ve been waiting for so long time. Very simple, helpful and detailed information 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you very much.
While you covered inserts briefly, could you further explain on how to use inserts to feed a channel back into the next one (and do this possibly even several times) to use gain to distort a sound?
The same way they created those mad distorted 909 gabber kicks in the 90's.
Thanks for these videos! I'm learning so much! Hopefully, I'll be able to set up my own home studio soon.
p.s. The best stage mic for feedback is hands down the Audix OM-7, it takes a while to learn proper mic technique and this mic is ONLY for those who have great mic technique. If you don't you will hate it, but if you do you will LOVE it
The best audio tutorial in YT! Way to go Man!
Very informative this will help me set up my home studio for Caribbean music🎙️🔥
Glad it's helpful! Thanks for watching!
I think you need an audio interface for home studio tho, i dont know your workflow so I’m not sure.
Excellent!! Thanks so much for your clear easy to follow series. Very helpful thank you.
Glad to help!
This is a great and useful way to understand and make the most of our equipment.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice guitar on the background, btw.
Excellent presentation thanks
super explanation - so clear and helpful - thank you!
Glad it’s helpful! Thanks!
bro, just want to thank you for this vidz! really, easy to understand, and very informative. great work!
Thanks, once again for the great content. Impeccable production and didactics! (You've already touched these subjects in prior videos, but this one is sure an octave higher 🙂). Inspiration for all of us to do always better and better.
Thank you, Umberto! I appreciate that!
ownsome job explaining the Mackie tertulia thank you
Excellent presentation! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for sharing! Very detailed and informative. 👍
I love your videos! Your channel has been so helpful 😊Thank you for explaining everything so clearly
Glad to help!
Great video for beginners man! All your videos helped me a lot getting into mixing my drum covers! 🤘🤘🤘
Great to hear! You’ve been following the channel for a while now. Thanks!
Simply explained, and practical as hell. Wish I knew about this channel years ago.
Do you know a lot about the DAC chips in these? I know there are analog mixers and digital mixers, but is there a huge difference? The reason I ask is I have a Volt 276 interface, and I got curious one day and recorded a song from two different portable CD players. One with a 1-bit dac (a mid 90's Panasonic with a MASH chip) and one with a 16 bit dac (a late 90's Akai). Now if you plug headphones in each of these and listen - to my ears - I hear a wider sound stage, clearer instrument separation, and more detailed dynamics. But when I recorded them through my Volt 276, the waveforms were identical and so was the sound. The source I used was my 2nd japanese pressing of "Thriller." Very little if any compression and when you crank the volume, you get more detail instead of just headache-causing loudness.
So, speaking of mixers that also act as interfaces - as stated in the beginning of the video - is an analogue mixer going to be able to pick up these more subtle nuances in the sound? I know analogue is thrown around quite a bit, and I know a lot of the more affordable audio interfaces use the same DAC chips, but for some reason when you mentioned mixers acting as interfaces, it triggered this memory. Apologies for the seemingly off-topic question, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Keep up the great work!
Analog and digital have advantages and disadvantages. Here's a video that might help answer some of these questions: th-cam.com/video/1YviIsCbT9Q/w-d-xo.html
@@AudioUniversity thank you, sir!
Awesome information! Thank you 🙏!
You really make this much easier. Great deal! Thank you. :)
Happy to help!
Just the information I needed. Thank You!!!
Glad it was helpful!
love the awesome content very informative
Thank you for your valuable information.
Thanks for watching!
Salam Hormat Dari MALAYSIA… TUAN… 😊 Terima Kasih Atas Perkongsian Ilmu… Saya Ada Soalan… Adakah Dibolehkan Mengguna “MAIN OUT” XLR & TRS Pada Yang Sama Atau Serentak? Terima Kasih Tuan… 😃
From zero to centum...teaching by Audio University..DrNanda
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. Just subbed. If this video is representative of your content, I'll be spending a lot of time on your channel, lol. Nice work.
Awesome....im a drummer and looking to record!!! 🥁
This is that and pretty much everything else!!!😂😂
Another excellent tutorial.
Excellent information!
I love this channel and it's really informative. Could you do a similar set up without powered speakers? Some of us buy budget equipment.
You can use passive speakers, but you’ll need an amplifier. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/ltMPK8gN3X0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZxwQny0G2vm9kLya
@@AudioUniversity thank you so much!
Thank you for this outstanding video! If I wanted to send a signal out of the FX send jack, into a stereo effects unit and then out of the effects unit back into a stereo channel on the mixer, what kind of cable should I use? Would a standard insert cable work, or should I get something different?
So I just bought this exact mixer and I've been trying to find a straight answer about setting up two monitor sends. You're the first video to even mention it! Thank you.
Just have a question though, if I use the FX Send as a second monitor channel, does that cancel out all effects being used? Since it's using the FX knobs for volume? Or did I misinterpret that. Basically I just want to know how to have two monitors on stage with this mixer AND if at all possible, two mixes, but I'd settle for just being able to use two monitors. Wish they'd label these a little better lol. My band mate uses a QSC touchmix 16 and the aux sends are clearly labeled. I got this to use for the trio but so far it's been a bit of a hassle.
Thank God you exist
Thank you so much I have learnt a lot ❤❤❤
Love the videos. Is there any way to get more content on mixing keys, gain staging keys, etc..
The concepts for mixing keys help with mixing everything (and vice versa). Here’s a video that might help: th-cam.com/video/0fckQLQWhe0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6iFfRjSyGtYXhGFs
@@AudioUniversity thank you so much for this!
sick tutorial bro very useful information
Great lesson
Awesome video, thank you! I have an AER Compact 60 acoustic amp, which I use for vocals AND guitar. It doesn't have level meters per-se.. only a little red light that flashes when it is peaking. Could you possibly show a tutorial on how to set levels on an AER amp please? :)
Without a proper meter, it's mostly about using your ears and listening for distortion.
@@AudioUniversity okay, thank you :)
Excellent video! What is the device with the "ears" you put the headphones on so we could hear what's in the headphones?!
That’s a binaural microphone. Learn more here: th-cam.com/video/S1SyaDbRqec/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qdjy-207KFjTc6Eq
Excellent tutorial, however the one reason I watched is I want to use the USB for recording to my DAW, using the control room outputs. I have just bought a new profx12V3 of this mixer, and have struggled with the routing of this feature. Do I need to use only the left and right button, or also 1 and 2. Also disappointing that I’ll need XLR to TSR adapters for my studio monitor cables.
I have 1 week left before I must return it to the music store. I’d then have to go back to my even older profx12V1, which is really easy to use but is less future proof.
