You can also print the board EQ to the direct outs by opening up the mixer and moving some jumpers around; there’s a post-eq, post-fader options for the direct outs. Just got one of these used and plan to set it up for this style of workflow. :)
yes I took pictures of the inside before selling it. Its a great board but I didn't like the fan noise in the studio.
Came here to write your comment lol. Also there is a fan mod to get rid of the noise!
@@BillyF2LJeffs Cool! I'll look that up!
I would use it as a summing tone box. I remember running a mix I did in the box thru this mixer and it did something absolutely wonderful to the sound.
Yeah lots of people do that with great results. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I wanted to learn more about the matrix, commutation and stereo input channels. very little information.
I find you didn't explain the auxiliary grouping section of the board very well. I have questions about that? And how you can group your auxiliary sends in the master ?
Finally, something I can put on that isn't just a bunch of rambling. The last guy I tried to watch was doing some dance shit where he'd turn a knob up and then whip it back down and then he'd be on an entirely different channel and then go back. like... Okay, next.
Glad you liked it.
Thanks for the video. The point about using the direct outs will help me. I am looking to develop an IEM system using Behringer XAir mixer. Thanks to you content, I see that I can take each channel direct out and into the XAir mixer. We are already routing the livestream through Aux 5/6. Thanks again for the content.
Glad you liked the video.
hello, I want to ask?
The aux on an Allen Heath mixer uses a mono or stereo connection
I think they are all MONO but you can check the manual.
Hey there. Great video. Do you have any idea where this mixer fits in to the Allen and Heath hierarchy at the time?
Sorry I have no idea. It is a good board overall for recording and live mixing.
Thank you for the information man! Just got one of these used. It's in great shape, however I did notice some calibration issues on some channels. L-R discrepancies of 6+ db in some cases. Is there any way to calibrate these yourself or is it a matter of finding a technician to recalibrate the whole thing channel by channel?
Hi Emmanuel, I am not really sure about that. The manual may have more information.
Best video GL2400 I think. I would like to buy the same mixer for only tracking drums with 18 mics. I just bough the quantum interface with 32 in/outs lines but not preamps.
how it sounds the preamps? are these preamps cleans and quiet?
You say there are a fan noise but for drums I think is not a problem. For guitars, voices and whatever I have Neve and SSL preamps API 500 so I don't need the console there BUT drums yes because I need more preamps and with EQ I think maybe it would be perfect for clean a few frequencies.
So, what do you think? is this mixer good for this propose> or maybe I need another solution.
Best regards my friend, great video.
the mic pres are pretty clean and sound very nice. I think you will like it.
Whats the benefit of putting line/pad option in mic ?
Could you please tell me please
If you have a Mic plugged in the pad will lower the input signal so you don't distort the preamp. With Line engaged you are switching from the Mic input to the Line input on the back so you can leave a line level device and a microphone plugged in at all time and switch between both sources.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios Bro thnxx a lot you are a gem for us!!
Is this mixer a good buy second hand?
What should i be looking as far as what is wrong with it if there is!
Is this good for studio use using only ableton to track loops no drum recording?
Or my second choice the gb4 16 is a better setup for what i am thinking of doing?
This is a great board for recording but there is some fan noise to consider if you are tracking in the same room as the board. Most boards that I found are pretty clean.
sir i have a question about the M the right beside L/R Main out. it has a switch which is Mono (L+R)
aux 6 aux fed sub..
my question is. how am i supposed to use it as my active subwoofer controller? is this plug and play level metering?
I am not sure. I would look it up in the manual.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios thanks sir. i wanted to have this mixer either.
Hi the aux port is mono right?
if I connect the aux to headphone amp like behringer micro amp ha400, will I get sound in both ear? Thank you
Yes I think they are mono
Hi sir, how would I connect a graphic equalizer to this board.? It’s being used for a church.
put it between the outputs you are sending to the speakers.
What is M (Yellow) near the left and right faders for what is it used for?
Mono outputs
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios what is the use for that will it bring any changes?
hi dr. do u recommend to get it for mixing ?
it can certainly do that task.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios but do u recommend ? hoes the eq and all that jazz ?
@@tomallonsmusicalcreation1111 Its good enough for live use and in the studio. If you are using tracks from your DAW then you can basic EQ on the board then more surgical EQ in the DAW.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios hows the quality of the preamps incase i want to direct out to my line in in my interface ?
Anyway I can get reverb effects from this mixer ..I have one but I was wondering if there vocal effects in there
There are no internal effects but you can hook up a reverb unit to the Aux inputs and use the sends on each channel to adjust the amount of reverb.
Examplrs of reverb units that i could buy pls
Would you recommend this for mixing ??? I have a 2000XL with the 8 outputs and I hear good things about this
Its a good board but I didn't keep it due to the fan noise.
Can you please explain what are groups for?
So you can send your channels to the group and then control their volume with 1 or 2 faders.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios thank you!
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios So if i want to connect Channel 1 to group let's take 1-2 so is it fader 1 or both 1 and 2 to channel 1?
Sir
Which one will be the stereo channel ? Please healo trying to connect my phone to play music
The Stereo channel are the Blue faders. Otherwise you can connect the phone to two adjacent channels like 1-2, 3-4 etc.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios
So if I use the channel 1 -2 I have to use faders on both for volume compare to stereo channel I just need to use one blue fader. Thanks much. .. God bless.
@@thomas9469 that is correct. I would just use the Blue fader.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios
Do I need to engage the L-R small square button for this located under ST1 and ST2 ? ST 1 ST 2 is the gain correct ? Should I use a XLR cable or the quarter inch ? Thanks
@@thomas9469 the stereo input in 1/4" only and each stereo input has a separate gain control.
Can the studiolive perform sidechain compression or eq standalone? #Presonus #Studiolive #Dawless
Not sure…sorry
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios thanks bro
How to hook up a cassette player
The Blue fader channels have two stereo 1/4'' inputs. Most cassette players have RCA outputs so you will need an RCA to 1/4 cable. Hope that helps.
