      hi there. you would have to purchase an interface made specifically for that purpose. the iRig Pro Duo 2, or the Roland Go Mobile Pro. check those out.

    Great explanation. I have a question if possible. I saw in your video that you were using external sources of sounds such as a guitar or a tablet. But If I want to use the same computer as a source of instrumental music, then I will mix it with my voice singing and finally, I will send the mix back to the computer for recording purposes or for live streaming. Is it possible with the ProFX6v3?

    Hi GregintheBox, I just bought this mixer for my wife who is wanting to potentially use it for a podcast, but the very first thing she wants to use it for is to lead meditations. That is, she wants to speak into a mic but also 1) mix in (and hear) background music and 2) hear the participants on the call. I think I found out how to do this: using 1/8 jack (from phone or other audio producing device) to RCA (line 3 and 4) but I was trying to make use of both USB stereo outputs to achieve this goal. So I am confused by your recommendation of selecting USB 3/4 as the output for the Zoom call (i.e. the participants) because USB 3/4 appears to be routed to the mix (along with the other inputs) but I am unable to monitor on the headphone output. Pointing my computer/Zoom to USB 1-2 allows me to hear the participants and the rest of the inputs.
    In Summary: @ 19:10, you mention you can adjust the volume of your audience in zoom/headphones but it seems like USB 3-4 isn't routed to the headphone output. It is routed to the mix (i.e. back into the zoom call). I can play a youtube video and if I select USB 1-2, I hear it in my monitoring headphones but participants don't. If I select USB 3-4, participants hear the video, but I do not hear it.
    Any help would be appreciated and thanks for this detailed video.

      Many months ago I asked him for the same issue. He never knew how to fix this. Sad to see a tutorial that should help people to setup ProFx onto Zoom but realisticaly what you get is a call without a possibility to hear back your people lol I mean, they can hear you and themselves too like a infinite loop LOL

  • @SolomonDouglas
    @SolomonDouglas 3 роки тому +3

    Greg - very useful video! I have one question for you. You've got USB 3-4 coming through (on mixer channels 5-6) so that you can hear the other participants in your Zoom call, but that source will also be mixed into what's being sent to the computer as well, right? (Because, as far as I can tell, the main mix that you're hearing in your headphones is also the very same mix that is being sent via USB to the "Line (proFX)" input on your computer.
    Is that the reason that in your Zoom audio settings you left the echo cancellation enabled?
    But what if I don't want the other Zoom participants to hear the various other alert sounds from my computer? There's no way to make sure that I can hear them in my headphones while preventing them from being sent out on my stream, is there? (Short of adding a second mixer just for the headphone mix...)

  • @pekuja
    @pekuja 3 роки тому +1

    You were using USB output 3-4 on the PC in order to use the volume control, but I had been assuming that the USB output 3-4 acts as a loopback, so that you can record your PC output, which is not what you'd want on a Zoom call, right? Am I misunderstanding how it works? I had actually been thinking this would be great so I could have my voice call go to USB output 1-2 so it doesn't loop back, but then I could have a backing track play on USB output 3-4 and loop back to my voice call so I could sing over a backing track and have the call hear it without hearing their own voices as an echo. Is that not how it works?

I am currently experiencing the issue of my friends being able to hear themselves speak due to the mixer outputting their microphones to them!

    Hi Greg thanks for this post, I just bought one and it was shipped last night🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻. I just have a question, can I use the effects for the vocal and guitar at the same time? If this is possible, how do I set it up? I tried but it seems like whatever effects I use, it will do the same for both😔. Let's say I want to use the delay/reverb for the vocals and I want to use the chorus for the guitar, how can make it work? Will you please help me out? Thank you☺️

    • @GregintheBox
      @GregintheBox  4 роки тому +1

      It is an awesome and affordable tool for online adventures and recording. Internal mixers usually only allow for one fx bus and that one effect can receive a send from the different tracks. So sadly you can’t have spectate fx for different tracks. One choice for the whole mix. I would recommend using separate fx unit or pedals for the guitar before it connects to the mixer. Then you can choose a vocal effect and keep the mixer fx off on the guitar. Using pedals etc for guitar effects.
      Best of luck it’s a fun little unit.

    Great video - works fine with Windows 10 but I cannot get the main output sent to MacBook Pro via a USB cable. Any ideas why? MacBook shows it as ProFx and I can also play a note on a keyboard I have connected to the mixer and the Garageband tuner identifies the note. But when I start recording, and play the keyboard, no signal is going to the MacBook.

    I got a Zoom H6 audio interface. And I have Logic Pro X as audio software.
    Would it be possible to control those audio channels digitally? So throught the Logic Pro X software? That is on a mac.
    But probably you have DAWs like Logic Pro X for Windows also.
    Adding those reverbs via the DAW should be possible, I think.
    Also I got a midi controller which is connected to the DAW.
    Could you do an episode where you connect a DAW and stream via Zoom or Facebook? And using a midi controller keyboard?
    Thanks.

  • @travishanson166
    @travishanson166 2 роки тому

    Any idea how to solve latency issues with monitoring the I/O of the USB? I just started getting familiar with the profx12v3 and was doing some test recording and the analog signals have some serious latency, the vocal sounds robotic to severely delayed, the digital audio track playing seems to be just fine (setting buffer down to 8 samples cleans up most of it) I am just wondering if maybe I missed a knob or a button somewhere to clean it up. ( recording using waveform, haven't tried to monitor a live stream test yet) also does your mackie have a problem with the pan bleeding through or not panning fully? when i pan left for one track to record, and the other track right, they seem to still send a small amount of signal to the other side, enough to be seen on the meters and heard on the recording.
    other than those 2 issues, I am thoroughly impressed with the sound quality of the mixer, really looking forward to running the pa with it and recording/live stream. would have been really cool if they would have split up the assignments of 1-2 for each channel to eliminate the need to pan. I have been using an old spirit fx8 and while it worked well, not having the option to properly monitor the signal the PC sees made it tough to set up. It would sound great on the mix to the headphones or FOH, but the playback would be crap. The price was right for the mackie vs getting a multichannel sound card (s) for the pci slots and a second mixer to handle and monitor the direct outputs to each channel.

    You are a great help!! In respect to the Mackie mixer - ProFX 6v3. I want to use this mixer with XLR input for sound. But not the Logitech 250 (confusing input sounds I think). I am using zoom and its proper setups for musical instruments. The sound I am getting, it sound like I am in a tunnel and the recorded volume is much lower than expected. I am using Realistic speakers. Do I have to get rid of the Logitech 250? and better speakers? Would I get the same results, no matter what mixer board I used? Thank You for your comments

    • @GregintheBox

      Hi Edwin - So first the obvious things to check on the mixer.
      Make sure the "FX" button for each channel is pushed in.
      Make sure the Stereo Pan button is out (up). That's the button with 1L on one side and 2R on the other. It should be off for live streaming as you are describing.
      Make sure the "FX To Main" knob is up a fair bit.
      OK, now, I will say that the testing I did and the video was done for USB connection to a PC or MAC laptop etc. So I can't say for sure if its not something related to using it with a lighting cable and a mobile device.
      The FX are going to my Zoom or live streaming as they should. I would test your mixer with a desktop or laptop computer.
      An easy test is to use Zoom or some other video conferencing software to call a friend and see how the effects sound on their end.
      If it works on a regular computer then at least you know you are and mixer are doing everything right.
      Let me know how it works out.
      Best of luck my friend.

      You can certainly use the main outs, but be aware that you ideally don't want that sound being picked up by your microphone and folded back into the mix again. Its doable but is not the ideal scenario. Best of luck. its a fun unit.

      sorry, no it’s not. the mixer has 1-2 input signals. think of it as 1 stereo or 2 mono signals, and it has 2 Stereo returns. 1/2 and 3/4. these exist because the way they return to the mixer allows for different uses and monitoring setups.

      I love a little compression, specially for singing. Or voice over work. If you can afford the next size up from this mixer, I believe it’s the 10v3, it has a comp on the first two channels.

      Hi there, well connecting this mixer to a computer will always be a better solution, but it is possible to connect to a mobile device. This is usually a tablet or IPAD. I can't be sure it works with cell phones.
      Now when it comes to cell pone, the port used to connect such things, will be different depending on the model of the cell phone. so can't offer much more unless i know the type of cell you have. An Iphone for example might be a USB B to Lightening cable. No guarantee without more info. For recording, id suggest a proper computer, not a mobile device. But good luck, it is possible.

    Dear Greg,
    Your video is awesome! Just what I need, but I have a few more questions. I am on a Facebook Live show hosted by someone else. There are eight other performers. We all join through a Zoom link. You have shown me how to set up the mixer with a guitar. However, I use a digital keyboard pushed up in front of my desktop. Where do I plug that in? I see how to connect a separate mic and not use the one built into my Logitech webcam. However, sometimes I use backing tracks instead of keyboard. Our Facebook Live host has us click on Screen sharing so that our backing tracks come through. You do not mention this step. Please explain. Also do I need to have my backing tracks on my Iphone instead of having them on my desktop? Thank you for explaining everything so clearly!!!!!

    • @GregintheBox
      @GregintheBox  Рік тому

      I would say that it’s very risky to try and play back tracks on the same pc as is running Zoom. The only realistic way is to use an app that does internal patching routing like VB-audio Banana. This is not for the techno faint of heart. So it’s much easier to use a separate device, phone, second laptop etc, and feed it into the mixer and from there into the Zoom pC.

    • @GregintheBox
      @GregintheBox  4 роки тому

      hi there. there are any possible fixes, to the quickest and easiest to try is this. Reduce the “buffer size”. this setting would be found in the endriver setting for the mixer or the recording software you are using. Google it specific to your software and setup if it’s not easily found. the trick is that it’s a balancing act. lower buffer setting makes the Pc work harder and you’ll some times get clicks or pops (not part of the recording just the computer attempting to do the processing, and failing). but the lower buffer setting will certainly reduce latency. it just depends on how small of a setting your pc can handle. older, less powerful pcs won’t be able to handle really lower buffer size settings. as for the latency in general, you might want to consider that you could be doing software based monitoring , when infact you should be attempting to use ‘direct’ monitoring. direct monitoring is very possible with the mackie profx

      Thanks for your response Greg!
      On Audacity I was able to fix it by going to Preferences - Devices.
      The buffer length was set at 100 milliseconds
      And the Latency Compensation at -130.
      I set the Latency Compensaron to - 180 milliseconds and worked like a charm!

    Hello Greg, thanks for this great video. I noticed that there are only two XLR connections. What if we needed two mics (2 singers) and perhaps a keyboard and and guitar that needed to be added on... are there splitters? Or is there a need for a different kind of mixer? We are going to be doing an online concert with multiple singers and instrumentals as well as karaoke tracks. Sounds like a lot I know but I'd appreciate your help on this. Thanks.

    • @GregintheBox
      @GregintheBox  3 роки тому +1

      hello, that’s a difficult choice to make. there are many factors. in truth, the only real difference in quality will be the preamp used. the quality and caliber of the preamp will depend on the price of the unit, more expensive, better mixer in many ways. one of these will be the preamp. so compare the reviews of the preamps in the mixers you are comparing. after that, the presence of good sounding internal effects (echo/reverb), and if the channel strips has compression, should also influence your decision. both of those are valuable for vocals, and almost any recording source really. my personal bias? better a Yamaha and a Jackie mixer of the same price range, I would choose Jackie, for the build quality. but no disrespect to Yamaha. just a preference with small project mixers, that’s all. best of luck.

    Hi Greg! Watching from the Philippines here!
    I tried installing it to may Mac but it won't continue because it says it is incomplete? Am I the only one who's experiencing this on Mac?
    Also, I'm confused on the part where we'll adjust the 5/6 level to hear from the participants in zoom. Based on my experience, I can only hear them when I push "To Phones" but when I sing I would un-push the "To Phones" to hear myself.

    • @GregintheBox
      @GregintheBox  3 роки тому +1

      Hello in the Philippines! I'm in Canada. You don't need to use any drivers to use this mixer with a MAC. You should be able to just connect it then go to System Preferences (Under the Apple), In there select SOUND. When that pops up, go to the Output and Input tans and make sure that ProFX is selected. As for the output, you will be able to select ProFX 1-2 or Profx 3-4. This simply indicates where the computer sound comes back on the Mixer. Its a little complicated, but for Live stream performing or performing on Zoom (or what ever vid conf platform) use Profx 3-4 as the output on the MAC, then make sure the USB 3-4 button is in, then make sure the "To Phones" button is off (up). Then you can mix your own mic and instruments etc on Level 1 and 2, and the return from the computer (if needed) on the 5/6 knob. Make sure the Main Level knob on the far right is at 12 oclock, then turn up the Phones knob to your preference.
      Try that. Best of luck

    I am a happy owner of this mixer, the Mackie ProFX6v3; I love to sing karaoke and used to record songs connecting this mixer to my laptop. However, it only sends out 2 USB channels. So I now do my recording with an EVO 8 which allows 4 USB channels. I use Cakewalk to record. But that said, unless I'm doing any recording, I continue to enjoy using the Mackie; I love the sound quality of its Mic preamps. The reverb though needs quite some experimentation to get right. Lastly, this Mackie now has fierce competition from a new Yamaha Mixer/Interface, the AG06 Mk 2, just released. It also has 2 USB channels and not 4.

    One of the questions that Occurs to me is that you aren’t using any streaming source like OBS so you really don’t need that you can go directly to the computer and directly to the the Internet?

    • @GregintheBox
      @GregintheBox  4 роки тому +1

      Correct, with a USB mixer/or interface, and a webcam style camera, OBS is not required in between with most online platforms. This said, if you are trying to achieve a higher end product with your own overlays or camera switching, or transitions then your are taking a broadcast style product and then something like OBS is required. This said, such setups are complex and can be very demanding on PC resources.

      A complicated thing to achieve but not impossible. In a normal situation, this would be risky and could result in an internal feedback loop. So usually, USB mixers are designed to avoid this.
