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.

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.

Your videos are just pure gold dude. Don’t ever stop. Much love and respect from Europe my dude ✊🏻

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doesn’t seem to be much out there for less than $2500 and even those setups have problems such as bad software and/or outdated drivers.

Great video. I've wanted to see a tutorial like this for the longest time. Thanks

[frankbaron]

a mixer for mixing? you and your radical ideas.

[bioniclefan]

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!

[Chris.Batus]

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)

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.

Very cool and informative video! Grazie 🙏🤙

[matejderonjic]

Thanks you 🎉🎉🎉 this is jus what i nead

[Musaneter]

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?

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.

Your becoming a Goat Your gonna kill them other YouTubers who don't wanna really help us get that professional

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!

[jesseh]

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?

[hip-hoprapstorage]

This is exactly what I love and want : using Daw computer like a master tape

[JoeBoomerMusic]

@3:14 The most profound live mixing statement ever uttered…

[ebormajaw]

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..

[Drumsdude]

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..
