@jasonstlouis9871 Same principles apply, but since you're already using P16's it should be a simpler one. Since it's already connected via USB, then from the DAW, have the metronome send outputs to your preferred output (ours is 17-18), then from the I/O or Routing page on your M32R, have it routed to empty channels, link both to make it a stereo input, and name it appropriately (i.e. Click L, Click R). Then from the Routing page again, route the stereo channel and send to an empty ultranet send channel. Should be good to go. If you prefer using the headphone jack of your laptop, then get the output by using the same stereo splitter cable mentioned in the video and plug it in to two DI boxes that will transform both signals to a mic-level signal. Then plug both inputs to the stage box/mixer and link those two together in the M32R as stereo inputs, name them appropriately (i.e. Click 1, Click 2). Finally route the signal in your ultranet sends in whatever channel you prefer it to be in (e.g. Channel 16) and it should be good to go. Finally, you just need to tell your musicians that you have the click track on channel ## on their P16's. Hope this helps :>

$30!!! that's so cheap! what a good find that was

@@BandOnABudgetNZ yes, that was really good offer :) I hope more people will trust in this brand. Their pedals are also very cool, for bass especiallly

Its just a copy of the signal. The mic level volume knob should not affect the output signal from the Mic THRU. I used mine last night at a rehearsal and had a setup where I used the Mic THRU output and can confirm the volume knob didn't affect the signal

I just followed the instructions from the manual which I'll put the link here: mackie.com/img/file_resources/Master%20Fader_V5_1_RG.pdf Also just contact their tech support, they're pretty good at getting back to people.

Yes all 4 receivers can connect to the same channel and all 4 can be used at the same time or individually

I'm pretty sure there is a way but I have not explored it. Best to seek advice from someone who works with metal... not metal music though lol, I mean like metal coating, alloys, building, cutting and shaping etc.

On my drum pad, I usually set the on board drum pad volume about 1 o'clock on the dial. I use jack to jack from the drum pad to a DI box, then XLR out of the DI box straight to the FOH mixer. From here you may need a bit of help. You'll have to play the drums at your usual velocity and style and have someone else adjust the gain on the FOH mixer so there's a strong signal but not peaking, and maybe add a compressor for those loud moments. Then you can move the fader up to how loud you need it and also on the master fader for your FOH.

Thanks. I'm not using a di box between kit and mixer, do think i should

@@MrLines22 Its not necessary but one of the benefits of using a DI is having a Grounding switch to cancel out hums as well as a Thru output to send another copy of the signal to a personal monitoring system, pre amp etc. I always carry one with me just in case as well as an XLR to extend the length needed to the FOH, or snake box

Thank you Really helpful gone from accustic to electric and backing tracks with a keyboard /singer... One thing having a bit of an issue with is levals of backing tracks and without an engineer on gigs I thinks gonna bit a issue, songs coming from different sources isnt helping. Any Advice welcome. Once again Thanks for your time.

@@MrLines22 setting levels would be best done starting with your DAW. For example in logic you need a reference track and then adjust levels, EQ and compression of you backing track. You want to make sure the overall volume of your track is as loud as you need. You should also play around with the LUFS integrated levels. This is basically your overall "loudness" of the track. Find a suitable LUFS level and then try to mix all your other backing tracks to the same output level and LUFS level. This is so all your backing tracks are at a relatively consistent playback level in terms of Volume and output signal. Once that's done you'll have to play a bit of a guessing game at a live performance to get your guitar and vocals balanced in the mix. Ideally ask a bar tender, or friend to help adjust these levels in the first 2-3 songs. Hope that helps =)

Do you mean using the CTRL button to select clean boost instead of reverb, mod? I'm not sure I understand.

You're welcome 😁

are both the click and backing track being sent to FOH? You should only send the backing track to the FOH and the click track to the In-ear monitors. if its still happening you may need to double check if the backing track is actually panned hard left and right AND another thing if using very cheap mixing desk it may also not be "True stereo"

This is happening to me also, do u fix it?

@@n1cK666 See my comment above, but also start with your "Source" in this case the DAW backing track. make sure the audio is panned hard to the left or right. Next would be checking the quality of you cables to make sure there are no wires internally that may be broken or touching between the left and right. Lastly what mixer are you using? Try a different mixer, check to see if you're using a cheap one which usually doesnt have true stereo vs a better quality mixer.

I'm trying to figure that out too

You'll need to playback the audio using a DAW and use an audio interface with at least 4 outputs. Main output 1 and 2 for the FOH and output 3 and 4 for the monitor mixes

@@chronicironic1358 You'll need to playback the audio using a DAW and use an audio interface with at least 4 outputs. Main output 1 and 2 for the FOH and output 3 and 4 for the monitor mixes

probably take it as carryon. No different than carrying a phone or a portable power bank

I've checked the audio waveforms and the output from the DAW, its definitely not clipped. There is a heavy beater on the drum plus a dampener on the edge of the head, mic is resting on a soft pad/cushion. Could be an anomaly in the upload compression

Not too sure about that, I don't own the HA400 but have used it in the past and was pretty happy with the output from it

Soooo cheeky, feeling like I got played on that one lol

I didnt even know there was a mute function?! Did you check the output volume on the transmitter at the back of the unit? There's 4 very small knobs

@@KingdomMediaOnline if you’re using the built in wifi on the mixer it will broadcast its own signal. You’ll have to open up your phone or tablet wifi setting and swap it to the DL16s wifi signal. If using your own external wifi router, naturally that router will have its own unique name which you’ll have to connect to from your devices. The external router needs to connect to the DL16s via Ethernet cable for this to work and there is a bit of pre setup for first time use. After that it works like clockwork. If you run into issues or not sure where to start there is a PDF online for how to use internal or external wifi routers for the DL16s and DL32s

@@andichris333 check the level knob for delay on the far left side. If none of it works try doing a factory reset and then install the latest firmware for it.

@@helgenx yes i know the method you’re talking about but it can actually do more damage to cables. But if it works for you and your cables are still working by all means go for it 😊

Yep you can do that but if you run into humming and buzzing from grounding issues that’s where the DI comes in. Or maybe you need a secondary output using the THRU output to a stream or record or individual monitoring from the musician. Bring a spare DI to gigs but you don’t always need to use them.

Don’t forget the garden hose too

Yea you can go directly to the desk. The DI just allows you to add a a secondary output using the THRU output and it also lets you use the GRND/LIFT switch to remove buzzing or humming coming from the laptop if it’s charging.

Use the AUX sends. Note, some smaller and cheaper mixers do not have an aux send. If your mixer has an aux send then each channel will have a knob that says AUX. The mixer will also have an AUX output commonly a jack output and sometimes an XLR output on higher end mixers. Use the AUX output to send to your other musicians through a cable to your IEMs, headphone preamps/splitter or stage monitors. Hope that helps

@@BandOnABudgetNZ still confused. do you have an email where we can request consulting?

@@Laura_auer just replied to you in email 😁

Treasure - Bruno Mars

Yes still using it as my main personal mixer, and sometimes switch it up with a basic analog mixer like Soundcraft or Mackie depending on the bar/club I'm in. At one of the larger clubs I play in they have a Allen & Heath Qu24 which we use.

Yes it would be and everything in this video is mono. But ask yourself these questions if considering stereo... - Does the audience care? - Does stereo improve the performance or sound? - Does the bar/club mixer or your own mixer support enough channels to run stereo? - running stereo will only one side of the club/bar hear some of the backing track? Check out Nick DeLaCruz where he interviews sound engineers for MASSIVE shows like Rammstein, Fallout boy, Disturbed etc. Almost every engineer says they pan mostly up to 10 and 2 o'clock because they don't want audience on one side unable to hear the other. youtube.com/@thisisdelacruz?si=gBkmEanjx0uVfxhN But then again stereo is pretty cool and if you can do it and you feel its more your thing then go for it. You'll have to use an audio interface with 4 outputs (2x for FOH and 2x for IEMs) in order to get the stereo effect and you'll have to run your tracks through a DAW

Or… you could use the time stamps and playback bar to jump between the mic comparisons. It’s not a well known secret but now you now 😜

@@jjhdayo Right on - I appreciate that! Also, I should temper my criticism - it's a good overall test you devised to be sure, thanks for your follow up! I have read even further in the comments and I see now that my sentiment is a reflection of others' feedback, too. Enjoy!

No usually. This depends on the quality of the hardware you are using. For example in my Mackie DL16s i have true stereo when panned hard left and right. Whereas my Phenyx Pro PTM-10 IEM system is 93% stereo separation so I get a tiny bit of bleed from the opposite sides that are panned. If you are experiencing this issue always go back to the source to see if it is truly panned left and right. Its usually a hardware issue. Then work your way through the signal flow/chain one at a time to see where the issue lies.

I still love my shure mics, owned one for 10 years still going strong. Behringer will suit someone looking to get into music or even a kid vocalist, or their parents who arent too "Shure" about buying an industry standard vs a entry level. Thank you for your feedback and describing what you can hear. It will help others in the comments section too =)

Yes that will work too. The DI are optional if you want to ground the signal using the GRND/LIFT switch and if you also want to use the THRU output to send the signal elsewhere like another musician or audio interface

Its been a long time since I used the G4 and don't own one currently to compare with the PTM-10, however I've been pretty happy with the bass response on it, but that also comes down to what earphones you're using? Single driver? dual driver? 4 drivers?! are the drivers crossed over? they will make a big difference as well.

Only use one channel on the transmitter and set all 4 body pack receivers to the same radio frequency. The 2nd channel will not be used.

😂 sorry if I am but Yes I could lol but that's what the speed adjustment in the settings is for

According to the label and manual it is isolated... however I dont think it is fully. I know there layout and design shows some of the outputs positioned into groups so I wonder if the title isolated is kind of misleading to those groups only. I have used this for so long now and pretty happy with the sound. Sometimes I may hear some noise but that's mainly due to one setup I had where there was a lot of high gain and volume. But for the most part its pretty quiet. Just be sure to run your digital FX separate to your analog FX within the groups on the power supply. In short, you get what you pay for, in this case I feel like I lucked out and got a pretty reasonable priced power supply that not only provides power for my pedals but also has a USB charge port AND built in battery to run on its own charge. If you are worried about noise then definitely go for a more expensive one with the trade off being possibly less outputs, no USB and no recharge capability. Is there a way you can take your pedalboard rig into a music store and try our the power supply?

It's not isolated and was noisy as hell with some of my pedals in the chain, but I added a couple of Joyo ZGP isolators to my noisier digital pedals and now no noise issues at all.

you're welcome =)

yes it does, its the pins/connectors that will determine which set of earphones it will work with

Im not too sure what brand the case is. I bought it from here: www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/music-instruments/pa-pro-audio-dj-equipment/rack-gear/listing/4687746613?bof=aVlDeJFV Im actually thinking of getting another one but more of a shallow rack case (not soo deep). Only because Im planning of creating a new setup, but still pretty happy with my case. I use my own external wifi router. It doesnt need internet and neither does the built in router inside the DL16s. The wifi routers only broadcasts the information and connection between the mixer and the tablets/phone for the app. There is no need to use Internet. If there is exisiting wifi in the venue just make sure your tablets are connected to the DL16s wifi or your own external router. Mackie also a free PDF doc with tutorials on how to set this all up if you get a bit stuck

Sure thing. Im from Christchurch, New Zealand, population close to 400,000 people. Use in bars and clubs small as 50 people all the way up to 500+ I play in a band called house of groove. To get an idea of the club size check out the video in some of them you can see the audience are packed in shoulder to shoulder. Have used the PTM-10 along side other wireless IEM systems as wireless 2.4GHz devices and 5Ghz. Hope that helps

Good question. It's more for "what if..." for example let's say you don't have enough small mixers or pre amps but want to send the click signal elsewhere on stage. Having the click sent to the main FOH mixer doesnt mean you have to use it but it could be re-routed elsewhere. One example could be if you were recording live performance into a multichannel interface. You then have a click track to help sync up any post mixing and production in your DAW. In short, you don't need to if you have enough equipment on stage for everyone to hear the click. The FOH mixer is just an additional source of audio if needed.

No worries, thanks for the comment. If you find that you need more channels to work with then a small mixer with 3+ channel strips will also do the same thing and give you more room to work with in terms of routing, EQ, and if its USB compatible, recording direct to your DAW.

You're welcome

Yes you could send the Aux channels to a secondary mixer or several headphone Pre amps (like the MA400 in the video) and have it placed on stage. For example: lets say you have a main FOH mixer with 3 Aux sends. You would need to connect 3 XLR/Jack cables from the main FOH Aux sends and run them to the stage. From there plug each end of the cables into your secondary mixer that also supports 3 Aux sends. You then route those new Aux sends to your band. Alternatively run the Aux sends from the FOH to 3 separate Headphone pre amps on stage and assign those to the band. Only downside is that you will be using a lot of cables and can get messy during setup and pack down. A simpler approach that requires more investment from your wallet is to use a digital wireless mixer that supports Android/iOS tables and phones such as the Mackie DL16s which I have a video on here: PART 1 czcams.com/video/vG7KyzVZBtc/video.html PART 2 czcams.com/video/36oLD8vMETU/video.html
