Thank you this has helped me in my crash course adventures , I have a outdoor gig coming up this 8/19/17 . My son and I have bought most of the equipment we need for running our own sound , but the list never stops . Thanks again I will continue to listen on all these classes you've provided
thanks for this clinic it really helped me out i need this guy as my sound man he has what it takes and how i like it. when the band is competing for sound you all sound like crap. he wants everything and everybody to be heard. i which you will have no other choice then to bring it. if you group or band sucks you cant blam this guy...
great job mate. this is the stuff i need to show all the dumb bands i'm always mixing that keep turning there cheap amps up... great info, very informative. I've mainly been teaching myself how to do sound through my 4000 watt B52 set up... this has add heaps and confirmed a lot that i know. thanks mate
@nildamatta I wasn't there, but I can see the person giving the clinic is very knowledgeable of what he's doing. The mixer being used looks to be the issue. BUT, that sort of basic mixer is what you'll see used at most live band gigs. They don't bring compressors, sweepable parametric EQ's, etc (studio grade) stuff to a live show, because it's expensive and most techs aren't that skilled. The focus is making sure everything can be heard at any given time, tweeking is secondary.
I work with kids running live band sound at my school. This is informative for sure!! I had a problem with the drums bleeding into the vocal mics, causing feedback on the monitors (no mics on drums). Being that we have a small stage, reducing stage noise is by far the best bit of info you touched on in this clip. I only vocals out of the monitors. I have tried to run guitars through the monitors but it just sounds muddy...any advice? BTW only vocals and guitar come out of the mains as well
Demo's here on YT would sound much more convincing if they'd used the mains out from the board as the video sound. There's not much to learn here, because it's hard to hear what he's doing. Also a camera on the drum mics would have helped to see what he's doing when adjusting them.
@therockandroller1000 that would be crazy bro.. imagine having 8 differnent speakers just for drums!... nah what happens is all mics on the stage (around 8 drum mics maybe 2 keyboards 1 bass and 3 vocals) basically 14 mics are pluged directly into the mixer (which is that big board with nobs and all), then 2 outputs(left and right) are outputed from the mixer to an amplifer (which gives the signal more volume) and than out to as many speakers as you want. it could be 1, 2, 4 or hundred!
How can you say that when clearly what you're hearing from is a camera microphone. Not a direct master output from the mixing desk. Your comment therefore is invalid.
This 6 part series was super informative and helpful! The explanations were clear and the approach methodical. Bookmarked!

would be better if he explained how he was EQ'ing whether adjusting highs mids or lows.

@nildamatta the camera audio doesn't do this clinic justice. sorry about that. it definitely sounded great in the room.
Those drums sound like Tupperware boxes 🧐

from recording and sound that I have done I think it sounds good
Touche. I have a countryman Isomax E6 and its cardioid as well. But usually most headsets are omni :P
am happy to see this is vioder so i want to know how to set up crossover
@therockandroller1000 (part2) all depends on the amplifire's outputs! so i hope u understand all this talk! if u have a problem pls ask!

he is mostly standing in front of the FOH speakers. headset microphones are omnidirectional, therefore it will create feedback.
Off topic but is that an ultrasound video on the TV in the background?
I have to wonder why with all the gear and technology present, why this guy is not using a headset mic.
Thought the same thing.
wat i do i cut off the mid an lows.
When's the next mixer class?
can't see what you are doing on the strip......really wish I could!
Very helpful!!! I subbed.
Please explain what you're doing with the eq.
what speaker are you playing the drum throw
what about high pass frequency aswell?
Thanks!
why didn't he plug the board into the camera??...how hard is that?

my gosh, that girl to the right of the screen is really cute
6:33
“You sound awesome...”
One person claps 5 times...awkward !!
He should be like “yeah, give him a hand”.
which mixer is this ???
YAMAHA MG32/14FX
Ive seen bands hit those expensive mics with the drum stick. Yikes !!!!
That's not true. I have a Crown 311a and it's a cardioid capsule.
I don't agree with him on the vocals sound checks. You should encourage the singer to check the mic with the volume that she will sing with.
like John said at the very beginning, there's only so much you can do with a shitty sounding drum kit, and that drum kit isn't tuned for shit
drums sound like garbage
