Thank you for sharing this insightful video, Kelvin! Your channel has been such a great resource for learning. Even though I work with a digital Yamaha LS9-32 console at my church, it's awesome to learn more about analog mixers from your content. Quick question: Are there analog mixers with built-in gates and compressors? I know they were widely used before digital consoles took over, so I’m curious about their capabilities. Also, I’m still trying to figure out how to record and mix like you do with your mixer and DAW setup. Hopefully, I’ll get that sorted out soon! I’ll definitely check out your pro membership soon-excited about the idea of joining your inner circle. Thanks again for all you do!
Firstly, gain staging, it is very important, as simple as it looks it can make u look like a child or a fool on ur console. If u check the comments of these video, someone asked a question that how is Kelvin able mix all stuff and his stereo out is not clip. Actually the answer is that he did a proper gain staging
If u gain for each individual input is hot, then u will be cliping ur master output. And if u are sending ur live stream mix to a sound card, u must make sure ur master output on ur console is not clipping, because different sound card has their level of handling audio signals that are been sent to them
Actually ur volume can actually be a nice volume on ur console, but if it drived too much on the sound card, it will actually start to distort, so in summary just make sure u have a good and nice signal going out of ur console to ur sound card, and make sure the sound card is not driven too loud if not it will distort, because different sound card has there certain threshold before signal starts to distort
The thing I don’t get is this is already a mixed sound before it is mixed with the analog gear bcos the sound already sounds good already it doesn’t sound like a raw mix before mixed on the analog gear
No, buddy, it's not. I've always stressed the importance of getting the best sound from the source in previous videos. The most expensive mixers can't fix a poor sound source. The individual inputs sound good because the sound sources are good. The drums are correctly tuned, the microphones are right for their applications (drums and vocals) and properly placed/used, the keys, bass, and tracks are correctly connected with DIs for proper impedance matching and signal balancing, and the signal-to-noise ratio for all inputs is excellent. I use quality cables and connectors, the musicians are incredible, and they produce good music, too. Most people often ignore these, and ironically, they are the most important. You can mix a show without EQ, Compression or any form of processing. Get your audio sources and gain settings right, and all you need for a good-sounding mix are volume faders. I appreciate you watching.
I expect Kelvin will have a great solution! I’m not a pro like Kelvin but what I do is I have a little Behringer audio interface that cost about £40. One of the AUXs from our mixer (X-air, but we used to do it with analog just the same) goes to that interface via an XLR. The interface is connected via USB to the laptop that runs the stream and appears as an audio source in OBS. I monitor it very carefully during the service with my headphones and my eyes to make sure it’s not clipping or cutting out. With some fancier digital mixers, you can send a mix over USB to your laptop. Be careful with OBS - don’t let the audio clip. It has two meters - the average, that bops up and down a lot, and a peak, which colours the bar. Digital distortion sounds horrible so I try to keep it in the yellow at most!
@@Gavddotcodotuk You're bang on right🙂. I do have an amazing solution for dealing with OBS clipping though. It involves using a true peak limiter as a brick wall to prevent clipping. It also serves as a way to gently master your output before it goes on stream. I plan on making a video on that in a couple of weeks. You can shoot me an email if you feel impatient🙂. My email is on the channel page.
I'm trying to understand what you are explaining here. But in few words your didn't create the live mix with this mixer but your using this mixer to mix a prerecorded mix.

Please how can I get create the type 1/4 jack cable to stereo XLR cable I are using
Great low end mix too.
Great great stuff. Can't wait for the next video.
You have some incredible musicians there mate! That bass player was GROOVING
Great use of analog mixer
Waaooooh amazing, i love what you do sir
Hi where are you getting your input from
Well turned drums frm the source ❤❤❤ n it makes it easy to mix from the mixer board but on the output bro u do all Yes Sir🫡❤❤✌️✌️
❤❤❤❤ Mad mix bro 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Amazing🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
What church do you mix at, your musicians are dope

You'll find some analog consoles with one-knob compressors, but I'm not sure about gates.
Awesome
The mixing was super good place how all the recording process went
Nice bro
I've listened to these guys before on UA-cam... But I don't remember which channel I watched the performance. Great video though
How do you get the recording to the mixer
Check his previous video
My question how come your mix is not clipping all signals coming through the output sounds clean
Hello can you make a video on how to give every musician an ear monitor
He has that video already done
I’m having a huge challenge sending clean audio to live stream, on Yamaha tf5
The Yamaha tf5 is actually a very good console for mixing
So these are some tips I will give u to achieve a good audio in the Yamaha tf5 and in other digital consoles or analog console
Firstly, gain staging, it is very important, as simple as it looks it can make u look like a child or a fool on ur console.
If u check the comments of these video, someone asked a question that how is Kelvin able mix all stuff and his stereo out is not clip. Actually the answer is that he did a proper gain staging

Actually ur volume can actually be a nice volume on ur console, but if it drived too much on the sound card, it will actually start to distort, so in summary just make sure u have a good and nice signal going out of ur console to ur sound card, and make sure the sound card is not driven too loud if not it will distort, because different sound card has there certain threshold before signal starts to distort
So you were mixing in unity
The thing I don’t get is this is already a mixed sound before it is mixed with the analog gear bcos the sound already sounds good already it doesn’t sound like a raw mix before mixed on the analog gear

Please how can one integrate this sound into OBS
I expect Kelvin will have a great solution!
