    this is one of the most helpful videos I've watched.... I did a live stream concert a few weeks back and the sound kept dipping and going very quiet during it with the set up I was using. I've bought this mixer in the hopes I can have a another go at it but I had no idea what to do with all the knobs and buttons so this is pretty darn incredible and useful to a novice.

    @saracinofamily6637 Місяць тому +1

    So, if you just want to raise the overall volume of everything (say at a gig where the crowd is loud and they can't hear you), what do you use to do that? The red stereo level button in the bottom right? Or the volume on the actual speaker?

    • @2011-Fish
      @2011-Fish Місяць тому

      If the red master volume knob is at unity, most likely you can turn up the music for that particular music channel using the white knob.

    • @kettnercreative

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  4 роки тому

      @@hugomonstah That's correct. There is no master volume for the USB output of this mixer. The main stereo output does not change the volume of the usb output. This is why it's super critical that you set the gain of each microphone so it comes up to zero on the meter.
