Excellent! Thanks for pointing out how things were done during the pre-digital era. There were many great recordings made without a computer or plugins. Tape saturation and transformers added color and warmth to the recordings. One thing that cannot be substituted is a pair of great ears. All the money in the world can’t buy them.
Thanks for watching!
a mixer for mixing? you and your radical ideas.
tbf in trying to research to purchase a mixer for mixing it was a long time where I wasnt sure how to setup all the mixers I saw to actually mix because every video would only be talking about recording & live
As much as I learn from this channel, I do best with hands-on training. I wish Audio University was a genuine brick and mortar location. I'd enroll in an instant.
If we ever put together an in-person workshop, would you be interested?
@@AudioUniversity Oh, hell yes. An in-person workshop is exactly what I've been looking for.
@@timothylawrence707 I'd second that but I'm living in Germany so. Probably not plausible to come by XD
I'd 3rd that! I'm in East Texas. Running a Harbinger L2404fx-usb currently but we are upgrading to Mackie ProFx 30v3 30 Channel. I know enough to know I don't know nearly enough! Really appreciate the videos!
Your becoming a Goat Your gonna kill them other UA-camrs who don't wanna really help us get that professional
I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful, BigClout Music! Thanks!
Your videos are just pure gold dude. Don’t ever stop. Much love and respect from Europe my dude ✊🏻
Thanks, Def Acres! I’m glad to hear you are enjoying them. I’ll keep them coming!
Great video. I've wanted to see a tutorial like this for the longest time. Thanks
Thanks for the video. I have been using a Zoom L12 for a year now and find that it does a good job as a mixer, has good mic pres, had an audio interface with 12 outputs to the DAW and has 5 confugurable headphone outputs all for (currently) $650. The L12 can be used live or for recording. I keep looking to upgrade to more tracks but other than the L20 there doesn’t seem to be much out there for less than $2500 and even those setups have problems such as bad software and/or outdated drivers.
This is excellent! Just got my hands on a vintage Peavey console that I was wanting to try using, but had no clue how to incorporate it, thanks man!
Glad to help, Bryon!
Thx for the videos, and i have to admit, i've always hated sponsors, but for the first time on youtube i have to congratulate you and AiAiAi, this headphone seems to be worth a try. (sorry English is not my native language)
Happy to hear that! Thanks, Tiny Maj B!
Ive never done this before, but in principle you could use a mixer to record 3 seperate tracks with a two channel interface: pan the three tracks to center, left and right on the mixer and record the stereo output. Then use a M/S Tool in the DAW to seperate the panned tracks from the Center track and the panned tracks can also be seperated from each other just by simple panning for example.
well and clearly explained only what should you do if your audio interface only has a mic/line 1 input and inst 2 (for instruments) e.g. the u-phoria umc 22 then it is not possible to do left and right when i use a orchestra wants to record with all their equipment at the mixer (without usb) with audio interface is there a solution for that?
Great video man! Unfortunatelly i am here so late, but I have Soundcraft UI 16 and i need record from AUX (XLR) into audiobox usb(similar focusrite) into standard input (xlr/jack combo) which cable should I use to make it work? Thank you very much, you would be lifesaver!
Really good routing video. Touched on most major topics (including line level) but I would have liked to have seen more emphasis on a topic that sometimes get's over looked. The noise floor and grounding issues. While using a mixer does indeed expand the possibility's of more I/O's, flexible routing and even higher quality pre amps (and channel strips). There is a lot of noise introduced and often grounding issues as well.
Thanks, chuck. Good point, too.
Very cool and informative video! Grazie 🙏🤙
Thanks, Davide!
Thanks 😊 Mr. Kyle.
Thanks you 🎉🎉🎉 this is jus what i nead
Thank you so much dear.
Your video is very helpful. But I need your guidance . Is it not also possible to connect and use Rode Wireless Go II or Wireless Pro through a mixer to an amplifier to use the system for addressing a gathering from a stage ,using the Rode wireless mic ,as a hands free mic ? Also please give me any other guidance or caution in this matter, if you have any ,because I am not an expert .
Thank you .God bless you.
Incredibly succinct explanation!
Glad you liked it, Sunny! Thanks.
Yes, I love all your videos. I grew up with the crooners, then came Elvis and the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and their recordings have profound impacts on my life. But the, audio recording engineering is totally outside my knowledge, so learning this part of the music is fascinating. Thank you so much.
Amazing vid! That being said, I am recording my band live through a powered mixer w/ E drums [we all wear headphones w/ the mix coming from the board], signal is sent to an interface [just bought the focusrite 2i2 gen 4]. My mixer has 2 rca plugs out, I am using a 2 rca to a 1/4 inch stereo cable and sending this signal to 1 line input. Would it sound better to get 2 separate rca to 1/4 inch mono cables and send them to line 1 and line 2 input? Or would I use 2 separate rca to 1/4 inch stereo cables? Again great vid and not often discussed! Also, I am going to experiment with the air vs air 2 features and no air and will let you know the results! Much love from Upstate NY! Oh, I am currently using Audacity as my DAW is the Ableton lite that comes with the focusrite better?
This is exactly what I love and want : using Daw computer like a master tape
Great stuff ! - now I need an eight !
Thanks, The Toolmat!
Great video! I’m brand new to recording and mixing scene so I’m trying to watch as many videos to get an idea of different ways to record. So if I have 7 mics plugged into a mixer and run those to an 18 I/O interface using the line level inserts instead of xlr, are those balanced connections?
i believe if you're using TS cables then in that case yes they are unbalanced. But if you are using TRS, xlr, etc those are balanced
Thanks! Just silly question. If I use vocal mic via audio mixer connected to the stereo line in my audio interface (motu m2) - should I record all 2 channels - stereo or just one? I need to record my voice - I plugged mic in the mixer and the stereo out of the mixer - to stereo in on my audiointerface..
Thank you
@3:14 The most profound live mixing statement ever uttered…
Can we use a digital mixer with usb connection as audio interface? to record directly in pc (daw) as much channel as we need?
I'm not a professional... But I have JBL Professional 305p MKii studio monitors to listen music. Please tell me which audio interface will be the best for listen to music on my new JBL Professional studio monitors? I can't find any DAC with true balanced output... So, I'm seeking for audio interface with the best DAC built-in. Please help.
so, my old mix wizard didn't have output on each channel, only an insert. i could be wrong. i do like the idea for recording a band totally live in one take or individually. i used to have a 8 track at once zoom recorder, but found it to be a pain in the ass. prefer your idea for a studio set up.
Please ican learn for setting custom of audio system for vocal
Hi how long should I take for audio mixing and mastering learner and how much should cost me
Question:
I have profx12 console and scarlet 4i4 and monitors. How do I connect them?
Bro, appropriate every lesson. I'm really struggling with the hissing. It's killing me. I'm Toddler Pro-T in South Africa.
Can i use my mackie mixing board with a tascam dp32sd?
Hello Kyle. If I connect my analog mixer via the mains out (XLR) to my audio interface that has two combo inputs, what’s the best cable to use? An XLR to TRS or just XLR to XLR?
Hey Emiel. I’d recommend using XLR-F to 1/4” TRS.
Thanks again Kyle for your explanation 👍.
Please help me ..how to add fx to a vocalist headphone in a daw. I've tried many times but can't..
Try sending the vocal to another channel with an aux send. On the other channel, load an FX plugin. Then you can send both the dry and wet channel to the output that feeds your vocalist's headphones.
@@AudioUniversity Thank you so much brother, ok I'll try
@@ebormajaw8064 Did it work?
will you have cleaner audio when you do this?because i have a noisy mixer. :/
Hi, i’m new. Sorry for this stupid question : so, if i have a mixer (little inputs), do i still need a fancy audio interface (like focusrite/any else) for recording? Or just any cheaper audio interfaces will work good? Let say i’ll record guitars, bass, and vocals.
Thank you
Not a stupid question! Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/6jhHlJWV3Jc/v-deo.html
Ernesto 🙌🙌
Just what I was looking for, unfortunately it says is not available
A couple of years ago I bought a Sony wireless headphone but it was terrible, it has a lot of latency and I can't use it to play and record drums. Do you think this Aiaiai headphone doesn't have this problem?
The AIAIAI wireless headphones have fixed 16ms latency. It hasn't distracted me for tracking guitar, keys, and vocals.
I did a full video on it here if you want to learn more: ua-cam.com/video/4S9ennMJs8M/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for watching!
So using two channel interface, how would you record channels from the mixer if you are using two output speakers from the mixer?
If you've got stereo tape outputs, stereo group outputs, or two extra aux outputs, you could use those.

I’m having a hard to connecting my behringer XL3200 non usb to my my Scarlett solo interface. Any tips on connectivity? Very much appreciated.
That's literally what his video is about. Just use either the left or right main out channel to connect it to the scarlett solo. Since all mic channels on the XL3200 are mono.
I used the xair 32 to my Mac/garage band and multi tracked 11 channels flawlessly. 5 songs edited so far. Who needs a pro studio?
What about using this just for vst’s on a 4i4? Can I only mix 4 tracks at a time? Or unlimited since I’m using a daw
Once the audio is in the DAW, you can mix with as many routes as your computer processor allows. No need for physical inputs or outputs. Good question. Thanks!
I used bheringer 1204
Actually, if u put the snare and kick in the same channel and pan the right/left, in the daw u can split them and u have both in mono.
That's two channels, which requires two channels to record. You can't pan one mono signal into two separated mono tracks, so whether you use two individual channels or one dual channel, that's still going to require two inputs and two outputs.
I normally will use a compressor/limiter for each mic which I mic up a drum set.
Great tip! Thanks.
Wasn't expecting that ad Segway... 😂
thats why i have the behringer xr18 this way i have a all-in-one device.
helpful
Glad to help! Thanks for watching.
Why we would use an Audio Interface when we can connect a USB cable directly from the mixer to the PC, for multichannel recording! Just wondering
My mixing board doesn't have a USB. That's why.
👏
Thank you, Marian!
please explain me why you use audio interface ? Can we directly connect from mixer to computer?
If I buy digital mixer with audio Interfac and USB, do i need to buy another Audio interface
audio interface and mixer ,which one is suitable for home studio , MACKIE MIXER is a good mikxer?
@Brent Harmon's Music Corner thanks for answering me
@Brent Harmon's Music Corner reaper is a good Daw?
@Brent Harmon's Music Corner Can Analog MIxer is connect to DAW
wait,., if you have an interface with more than 2 inputs, why use a mixer at all?
4:02 😂😂😂
You show several pieces of equipment, but don't give the names or sources for them, like the Mixer (I can read the name on the top), the DAW box, and the audio editing software. It sure would be nice if we could know what these are.
I intentionally left those details out, because the techniques apply to almost any combination of gear.
Since you're curious, here is a list:
- Mixer: Allen & Heath MixWizard WZ4 14:4:2
- DAW Software: Reaper
- Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 & Focusrite Scarlett 18i20
@@AudioUniversity Thanks! Nice to know what others are using, and I don't always guess correctly.
why not go for a digital mixer to send out multiple tracks and mix it on pc(software)? I think this cost much lower budget because digital mixer still can use for live event, and the routing much more simple and straight forward.
It’s not much more simple and straight forward if you’re singing and playing the guitar as well as trying to work it 😂😂
the reason why i would buy a mixing console in the first place, is because i would want something more versatile than a audio interface :/
That’s a great reason to use a mixer. For routing options and flexibility.
Aux sends to audio interface.
Second to watch
Nice! Thanks, lang!
Very informative. Nice!
Keep on rockin'.. and PEACE in Jesus Christ.
No Jesus?
No peace.😉
