    Without a doubt the best and most comprehensive explanation of a mixing desk I've bee able to find. My daughter is just starting singing gigs with a guitarist and their own material. I work in sound as a freelancer in the TV industry and will do her mixing but she also wants to record their music. With this tutorial to help her I'm now confident she'll be ok. Thank you very much.

    Both parts of the tutorial was very well done and clear! I've just purchased a Behringer Xenyx 2222usb mixer and this helped me understand most of the features & nuisances of the board. I am by no means an expert so this definitely helped me out!

    Good video! This Behringer is routed almost exactly like my old Mackie 1642VLZ Pro, right down to the configuration of the AUX returns. I use the AUX sends and returns for quadraphonic recording and playback of my reel to reel.

    Great video. I bought this mixer, and I’m disappointed I can’t do 4 stereo monitor mixes out of the sub outs. I thought these would be associated with the 4 aux knobs on each channel. 😢

    Great videos, I just purchased this same mixing board so it was really beneficial to me. For the Direct outs can I use that to go back out to like a bass amp or a guitar amp? I realize that I'll only be able to control the part going through the mixer to the mains

    These are great tutorials! I'm new to analog mixing and Behringer, and this answers every question except 1. So, if you're still reading these comments: what is the signal path to use, if I want to get Internal FX into my monitor mix? The manual and other resources give examples for an external FX processor, but not so much about internal FX. Any suggestions?

    • @proclaimav4197
      @proclaimav4197  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      So unfortunately there is no internal routing of the FX to the Monitors on this board. You could try this work around. Using a TRS to TRS 1/4" cable, patch the FX OUT into the LINE IN on one of your empty Mono channels (let's say channel 8.) Un-assign channel 8 out of Mains. Turn up the gain on Channel 8 to about 12 o'clock. Add what ever you want to FX using AUX 3. Then you can add FX to Aux 1, 2 or 4 using the knobs on Channel 8. Do NOT add channel 8 to Aux 3, because that is the FX bus, so you'll get FX routed to FX which just ends up being a mess - try it and you'll see what I mean. 😛 Happy Routing.

    This video / series is very detailed and informative...... but....... I have the Behringer 1204 USB (without FX). It is just different enough that I am thoroughly confused. Even the manual from Behringer skips over the operation and function of the "phones/CTRL ROOM" operation. This is my first ever mixer and I have no formal or informal training. TH-cam seems to have a lot of tutorials on the X1204 USB, but nothing much on the non effects version. How would you suggest that I learn how to use my equipment? I am in Southern California. Thx.

It is a very long and wide space. I want to put the stage on the long wall. Where should I set up my pa speakers?( far apart? Or close to stage at an angle? Thank you. Excellent training video.

    I loved this. But at the end, you showed the FX out connection and all you said was this was really handy. Can you give me more detail on that and how that works? I have a Mackie ProFX 16 and I have that but I'm not sure how it is used. Thank you.

    • @proclaimav4197
      @proclaimav4197  ปีที่แล้ว

      If you aren't using the onboard FX, you can the FX like a 4th Aux mix by using this output. This will bypass onboard FX sending the mix to whatever you patch to from the FX out.

    • @proclaimav4197
      @proclaimav4197  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can, but unfortunately Sub outs don't let you adjust volume individually per channel, they're just a reflection of what the main Faders are doing. Aux Out is a better choice because each channel has its own adjustment knob. For a mono signal into head phones check out the Behringer P2.

    I don't have a board to play with (it's on backorder) But we're getting the Behringer SX2442FX.
    I believe you touched on it but, we need several monitor mixes. Can you use one of the effects buses as a monitor bus?
    What about using a sub as a monitor send?

    • @proclaimav4197
      @proclaimav4197  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Frank. Yes you can use the FX aux as a monitor feed, just patch in on the back to bypass the onboard FX processor. I talk more about that in the first video starting here: th-cam.com/video/T1y8cjigI4Y/w-d-xo.html By the way you can use the the Submixes for monitors but you only have the same mix as your main mix, no individual channel control, only volume control. Thanks for watchin' !

    It would be good to know where the mixer is situated. Is it in-between the DAW and my Focusrite?

    • @proclaimav4197
      @proclaimav4197  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This is more of a live sound mixer and less a recording mixer. I suppose you could put the stereo output into your Focusrite and then record with the DAW.

      Excellent question. I generally use an app on my phone. Since I'm an Android user, I recommend Spectroid by Carl Rienke. It's free. For my iPhone try RTA Audio app which is free as of this comment. Just make some feedback and it will show you what frequency the feedback is on.
