For the sake of volunteer's easy training we use Harrison Consoles Mixbus 6 DAW. The biggest benefit is that has a very analog look and all compressors, EQ, routing, etc. are in front of you and can be controlled with your control surface. No need to click to uncover plugins, although we still use Waves plugins for very specific tasks. I'd love you'd give it a try Jake 😀

Love your comment about no church ever being ideal. I handle streaming and audio at two church campuses and each one ALWAYS has some quirk about them. Our running joke is always what challenge the Good Lord has for us that day when we come in to start up and run everything. And BTW, we're all volunteers, so audio professionalism is a mixed bag and adds another dynamic to our challenges.

I have been running a similar system for a half a year now. I run Reaper as my DAW and use only waves plugins on a windows desktop. The only difference is my buffer size is set to 64 and I send all 48 channels back into my GLD 80 for the house as well. My board then sends my broadcast mix from aux out to my broadcast computer where it gets delayed to match the video. Had a lot of bugs and issues along the way. But been running great since I have tweaked it all. Great video! Love what you guys are doing!

I always love the content. Very helpful. I know you might not have much control over what YouTube does with ads, but with the video having mid roll ads, I got interrupted 4 times with ads over the short 16 minute video. That plus the self-sponsored ads, really took away from the learning experience. Please don’t stop posting.

A solution to the mix being influenced by the room is to have a separate frequency monitor for the broadcast output (I know mixing using visuals is bad practice) this will then allow the broadcast mix engineer to see if they are putting in enough bass or not, or if there is something missing from the mix that they might not be hearing.

Thanks for your videos and recomendations! We just switched from using an AUX mix to a M1 Mac mini + Logic Pro + Bethel Lite template (only stock plugins) + Waves Tune RT and the result is incredible! We actually run at 512 samples which gives us the exact latency (28ms roundtrip + 14ms due to lookaheads in plugins) to sync up with our video stream. We could even run at 64 samples (9ms roundrip) without touching 40% CPU on any core!

Hey Jake, for Dante and the Mac M1 you can use the Dante VIA app which works for it. We are currently using it but the only downside right now is it's only limited to 16 channels.

[matthewyoung]

If you don’t want to wait for Dante you could try an AES50 to usb device... klark teknik dn9630, works with Wing and would give you some flexibility similaritsh to Dante

[lstpersonalof]

I Got The MXKeys on Sunday and i love it really

[ailo]

Great video thx. Please do a video that shows how you send the audio from the DAW back to the WING then back to the ATEM SWITCHER. Please. I am keen to understand the cables used and routing

[DylonRambharose]

Great video ... Can I multi track record in pro tools via USB from an X32 mixer!

[assisjorge]

Hi Jake great video, I just need a little explanation on how do you output the audio from the Mac mini and input into to the Wing, I didn't understand how do you route the audio back into the Wing, thanks.

[EmmanuelCrown]

This is great do you have any training on how you setup your daw to route all the audio back into the mixer, this is the only missing part in my church

[samarthshuklaofficial]

Hey Jake, you can order it off of Thomson.de
Sweet water told us May mid and Thomson sent our Dante card in less than a week. And no import tax if the cost is less than $800... plus you might get a better price than SW😄
Thank me later

[BlackCoinCrypto]

Great layout of what you got.
One thing I have leant is that when you mix broadcast it Import to see the band!
When we mix live we are taught to look alway from the desk and at the instrument you are adjusting this is so your using your ears not your eyes to render the adjustment.
The visual input from the stage is an important element in how a 'performance' is perceived. During our lockdown I post mixed all our services and the sound ok. When paired with the video something was off, it's like the sound did not match the image. In one case it was so had I had to redo the set. Why do TurboSound paint there speakers blue? Because the blue speakers sounded better, it wasn't that they were performing different it was all to do with how the sound was perceived. Color, tone, blues, reds, pinks, they must have something to do with it. When I post mix a service I bring the video track into my DAW so I have something to look at.
All I can say is that I'm visual input effects the way the sound heard/perceived.
Love your work bro.

[irsans]

How do you setup streaming with DAW plugin and with Faderport ?
Do you have the video setup ? Thanks

[budgetguitarist]

Ableton Live is IMHO by FAR the best DAW for live use. For recording, I use Logic Pro. For live, I use Ableton Live Intro and MainStage. It's a killer combination. Logic Pro can be a CPU hog when you use it live - Ableton is crazy efficient.

[johnathonjamesbarlow]

If you don't want to wait on a dante that long, set up an alert on ebay and you can probably score one if you're quick. We did a few weeks ago.

[richdavis]

Quick note on Dante, April 2021 is the date Audinate are targeting for the Controller software on an M1 Mac. Audinate state they are targeting MID YEAR 2021 for Dante Virtual Soundcard support for M1 Macs :-( Waiting on this too, to be able to put in an M1 Mini for our broadcast audio to replace my personal Macbook.

"I've been talking for about 25 minutes".... 15 minute mark... LOL!!
(I know, I know... that was probably before you edited a bunch of content out, but it was still funny... yes, yes it was!)
