How to Use Digital Mixing Console || Your First Digital Console

Go from excited-and-scared to excited-and-confident as I walk you through your new digital console. (This video is not brand-specific – no matter what console you bought, all these things apply)

Your old analog console was a workhorse, but the added functions you get from a digital console make mixing at church so much easier. For one, the ability to recall everything on the board at once makes it so much simpler for people who know NOTHING about sound to make it function. Like the band. Or the janitor. Seriously.

Update: We’ve discontinued our t-shirt store! Thanks for being a Sound Ninja!

Technology is the way to go digital can only get better as time goes on. What they could do is make a digital board that you can assign and do as you please best of both worlds.

I'm analogue all the way. I own 3 desks yamaha, soundcraft and peavey.
I just can't be bothered with the hassle of having to pull up a channel to assign reverb/delay or just to adjust an eq when all I have to do on an analogue is twist a knob or push a fader.
Too many mistakes can be made in a digit mixer, just as you mentioned in this video.
One more thing is, I've noticed is in the second hand market digital desks are as cheap to buy now as an analogue.

Hi I am the pastor pretty small church and i'm self taught on the A&H Zed 24 analogue mixer with USB - we recently bougth a behringer wing and not sure go about learing and incorporating this into our worship am I moving too fast what do you suggest

SoundTechSolo, Hey James, I'm looking to finally upgrade to a digital console. It's a small church so we want to get the most value for our dollar. Any recommendations? Thanks!

New to digital mixer how is the best way to set gain? Start at unity or fader at infinity?

I know your Presonus board is super nice, I almost bought one myself. I opted instead to go with the X32 from Behringer. I know you have most likely used both, so in your honest opinion which has more bang for buck? I know they essentially do the same thing, and Presonus has their integration with their DAW. Would you sway a consumer one way or the other? Thanks

#Soundtechsolo We use an old Yamaha DM-2000. I know it's a little old but I have grown fond of it.

#soundtechsolo Sadly I had a sound tech solo Sunday before last. I am trying to get more familiar with running our Presonus 64s via an Ipad with universal control. As I was scrolling across the faders, my swipe was not horizontal enough, and instead of scrolling I raised a fader 30DB. Can you say kick drum solo?

[oldguitars]

Wow, it's almost 2021and NOW you are making a video about changing from analog to digital consoles?
