    Jordan is the best on the Internet talking about this. Most other videos are so convoluted that I can't make heads or tails of them. Jordan's clear, calm delivery is a breath of fresh air. Thank you, sir!

    Great video Jordan. I did a couple of events setting up lighting and sound systems and everything you said was on point. I wanted to learn about using the mixer and you explained it very well. I would add bringing enough black tape to tape over any cables exposed to walking areas. Last thing you want is guests tripping over cables and them blaming the audio/video guy. Cheers

    Hey Jordan. Just wanted to let you know that you helped me in successfully connecting my Scarlett 2i2 to my studio monitor (where I was struggling to get the darn thing working). I must admit, I’m not very good when it comes to audio connections. But your video was quite easy to understand. So, “keep on keeping”! More power to you👍

  • @RikPoloski

    Well done video. Instead of using an extension cord to determine if you have power, get an outlet tester for about $10. Then you will know that you also have ground. Very important for a sound system.
    When discussing volume and gain, you recommend using the volume until you can't get any more, then adding gain to compensate. I would suggest setting the gain to achieve unity level before turning the volume up at all. If your mixer has a pfl switch, enact that and use the meters to see what your incoming level is. Set that as close as possible to unity, then (and only then) set your volume to an appropriate level.
