Noisy junk you say! I've got a Behringer Q802USB and this thing adds serious weird high pitched hum if the gain is turned up past 1 on the dial ☹️ If this Mackie has a clean signal then I'm up for that. Useful video Travis, cheers!
@@DanChippendaleMusic Been a few months now and I've still had no noise problems with the mackie, the only times I hear noise it's coming from the gear I've plugged in, not added by the mixer. It's very transparent, everything just sounds like what it sounds like. The old Alesis would colour everything with a kind of slightly fuzzy dullness, as well as picking up all kinds of high pitched whines and buzzes. The only thing I regret is I probably should've bought the onyx12 model with built in recording and USB interface, since I'm doing more recording than I planned!
Your video is the first time I've seen anyone using the Alt 3/4 on the Mackie with a looper. I use my Mackie 1202 with my RC 300 which enables me to send any of its 12 chanels to the RC300. So here's another cool thing... I have my Apollo interface routed into a Chanel on the mixer which allows me to send anything coming from my CPU to the looper. Nice Job!!
i might be wrong but i think the inserts will send and return the signal using one balanced cable to and from a device such as the RNC compressors which have a balanced line in/out of one port.
Hey man, awesome setup. Just discovered your work and it’s awesome! Just a quick question. How to you keep your loop in time with let’s say a sequence? No matter how close you are to a perfect loop, it would eventually go a little off time I guess? Can you sync the looper, via midi, to keep a measure or something?
Hey! Trippy what you did with the wall! Ehm my english not so good but we have some similar s in our set ups. I want to ask you. How you put more than one instrument in the boss 505?
Hey man have you noticed that the signal coming out of the Mackie Line outs is whisper quiet. Curious how you've gotten around this? Anytime I run it into anything out its well below line level.
not too sure actually. are you using balanced or unbalanced cables? maybe that could be the issue? and are you going out through the mains or the alts or the lines?
I'm having a issue I have the Mackie 802 VLZ3 and I have a insert in channel one going into a audio processor with a y cable but I hear nothing when can you email me
Ah, so insert bypasses all the other mixer functions? That finally makes sense, thank you! 'insert' is an odd name for something that is actually an output! (Loved your dancing cameo) Also, are you using the OG keyboard to play the XD? If so, do you stack notes from the two, or simply turn down the volume of one, and up the volume of the other?
An insert is also an input and an output at the same time , tip is in and ring is out or vise versa! With an insert cable you can send the signal to an effect module and get it back ! Does that make sense?
Think of the "insert" like an FX loop. The trick is that the socket is stereo, if you plug a normal mono cable in, you're just taking the output and sending nothing back in, so the sound disappears from the mixer. If you use a stereo-to-two-mono cable, one of the mono plugs is input and the other is output. You can plug them into an external effect pedal and your signal comes back into the mixer from the effect and the mixer functions as normal on that channel.
@@newnewnew-q4c those boards are legendary nice trade IMO, depends what music you’re doing though but you’ll have a lot of analogue crunch with the 216
Great tutorial, so much more informative being able to see the demonstration. Thanks so much for doing this!
absolutly!! glad i could help. also glad you noticed the danceeee moves
Just bought a 1202VLZ4 partially due to this video, and I love it. Can't believe what a piece of noisy junk my old Alesis Multimix 8 FX was.
so glad efficiency of flow is key

Oh man, I had no idea my mixer had this capability... going to have to figure out what I can do with this knowledge.
Yes!!! Glad it helped. The alt 3/4s are so sweet
This video made me feel like that floating baby in a space odyssey. Good work once again Captain.
SPACE BABY FROM SPACE COSMIC MIND FROM SPACE! SPACE!!!
that trumpet sound is nuts
yeah i found that sample from someone who posted on reddit. if i can find the link ill send it along ::)

I think this might be true? I’m not totally sure. I’ll look into it!
Perfect, exactly what I need, cheers!
yay! that's what its all about
6:20 dancing in the background lol
Can this be used on stage? I'm looking for a decent live mixer which can go to my RC 505 so I can EQ my mic and guitar differently
yeah i’d take this on stage for sure
@@travisdumais2538 thanks Travis

Yeah! I used the mackie mixer in this video and sent them both out in stereo to the input on the RC505
@@travisdumais2538 and can i ask you something else? How you record? ( I have a tascam tr05, but doesn t sound very good)
@@elm2311 yeah i use a zoom r32 not too shabby! There is a R16 that's good and less expensive too

oh no!
