Stumbled across your videos tonight. I’m a DJ and I’ve been using this exact soundcraft for a few years. You do a great job of just calmly explaining everything! Even though I’ve used it for a few years, I’m still learning some things from you. Keep up the good work!
Great vid as usual, and looking forward to the fellow ups. Just a question on the foh eg. What reason did you have for all the feq's you took out? As in, was the room bad acoustics wise? Thanks
Exactly, I would say. As far as the individual slider placement, it was just by ear. At one time, I did do the reference mic/pink noise thing, but I'm not sure if this was one of those times. . The end result didn't seem any better to me than just winging it, so I do without the jet airplane noise now. This one does seem more drastic than usual. An advantage to digital mixing, when you get the room EQ right, you can save it.
Is it possible to use this mixer as a DSP for multiple amplifiers that don't have a DSP on the amplifier? Separating Bass, Kick, Mid and High signals rather than having it all combined into just L & R input? The only way I can think possible is to pan L and pan R, split L & R into 2 signals each, sending them to the UI as 'instruments' on 1,2,3 and 4 then back out to the amplifiers as 4 AUX outputs to the amplifiers?
@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer Thanks for the response. My aim is to separate bass, kick, mid and high from a DJs mixer. I can do this on a sound processor as I've got A+B input and 6 outputs I was wondering if the same can be achieved with the UI as it holds similar features. Hope this helps you understand my question a little more, thank you :)
@@anonrexic So you are using it as a crossover. I assume you want stereo. It could be done using the auxes and L R out with the graphic EQs. You would need to stereo pair the auxes and use the graphic EQs to filter low, mid, and high frequencies. I think it would be rather awkward. I'd consider just getting a crossover unit to use with the mixer you already have.

Thanks. I'm still learning, too. I don't think it ever ends.
I recently got the UI16. These are great to help me get started. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching! I think you'll like it.
Another great video Bob. Where were you 50 years ago when we didn’t know about such things? Oh yeah…you were gigging, too!
50 years ago, we were using the Shure Vocal Disaster PA. Six channels, each with a volume and tone control, and a master, one knob spring reverb!

How do you set the volume knobs on the mixer itself?
I set them at 2 O'clock. That is supposed to be unity gain. On newer units I believe unity gain is marked at the knobs.

Not sure what you are asking. With the L and R outs, and six aux outs, you could send eight different mono mixes to eight different places.

@@anonrexic When you say bass and kick, do you mean bass guitar and kick drum? Or do you mean low frequencies, mid frequencies, and high frequencies?
@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer Frequencies, I wont be using it for instruments unless you class a DJ mixer as an instrument which just has L+R outputs
