    • Being an old fellow, I listened to all genres of music and love songwriters and recording artists from the 30s to 80s. My favourite would be the wrecking crew, George Martin and the Beach Boys etc. So I appreciate all the recording engineering requires to give us such memorable soundtracks of our lives. Your teaching of the subject is the one I always wonder about but am afraid to ask, for I wouldn't know where to even begin. So thanks again.

  • Very clear and concise video. On the Allen & Heath mixers (larger GL2400, GL2800, etc) you have to open the chassis to get to the direct out jumpers otherwise the faders will not change volume on the board in a recording situation per channel. I think that is a huge issue with their mixers and not something I had using say a Soundcraft LX7. I realize that they were designed primarily for live applications and live recording, but adding a button per channel would sure have helped. :)

  • You’ve done a good job of explaining this mixer. It was a little quick, and you might have rushed though the terminology, but that’s just my opinion. The only technical comment I have is on your description of logarithmic scale on the faders. The reason for logarithmic vs linear is that our ears work in a logarithmic manner, meaning that from a dB standpoint, each dB of change sounds the same to us. The apparent change from -10 to -9 is the same as 1 to 2.

    @TomCee53@TomCee532 жыл бұрын

      @JUSTO33344@JUSTO333442 жыл бұрын

    • That is true but irrelevant in this context. He is spot-on about working faders as close to "normal stop" (unity gain) as possible. Whenever I see a 1/3-open fader at a gig, I know the mixer hasn't got full control of the mix. It's very common and also indicates either ignorance or poor training. There is an idea called the "straight-line balance", meaning that when the balance is right to the ear, all the faders line up across the mixer, at normal-stop. Obviously you never "set and forget" but adjust all the time, but I worked with many superb mixers (people!) down the years, and the very best aimed for this. The other thing is that many desks (and mic inputs to other stuff) have gain in steps, not continuously variable ("thinking of you, Neve!), so you cannot mix on the gain presets, and they can also be a pain when setting up stereo pairs.

      @simon-d-m@simon-d-m Жыл бұрын

    • dB is already a logarithmic scale, the reason faders aren't linears is you can't have 3 meters long faders.
