Guys you are awesome 😎. It really helps me to understand what is going on with plastics and drums. I using tunebot studio for 8 months but never really develope my ears. Actually your video is listening as a podcast so great😂

One doubt is that i could see the meter are shouting valume as high is it like you set you amplifier in desire value. cuz I doubt like its too lought right? normally from the PA Amp we use to drive half of the volume.

The SM57 is too flat. It should angled more towards the center of the drum…

Fantastic video! "We don't want people to be sad." My favorite quote. As an old sound person who has been around from the analog to digital conversion, I can say this is a wonderful and very informative guide. I learned some things! Thank you Ryan!

George of the jungle. Will never forget this advice. Thanks!

Great Video on Gain structure!!!

Thank you

To me the floor tom sounds higher?

2:03 - "Zero is clipping" Well, that depends on what you are talking about/looking at. input meters or fader meters? (these can be different things if you are looking at software or the desk itself) Also depends on the manufacturer of the desk you are using, as I know that Behringer and Allan & Heath set their metering up a little differently.

Sounds like a cardboard box

Good explanation, but simpler the chain the easier the gain structure, digial or analog. The more plug ins used the more complicated it can get. Also sometimes we get plug in crazy, close tour eyes and listen to changes or toggle them on and off. If its not that big of differnce then you might not need it. Somwtimes i have to catch myslef to not use womehtinf just because i may barely hear it but may not be worh instering into the signal chain.

It sounds great. Congratulations. Big problem I see today is how to train this kind of Mixing if I don’t even access the Worship style multitracks.

Uses a black beauty as a ladder. Epic

Sorry buddy, U made a massive mistake due tuning the Bottom head. 👆 I have got the same tunebot on my own. When u use the tunebot on the Bottom head and u go near or over 400 hertz u must use the high frequency Button on the tunebot. Otherwise it could be u allways get 400hertz because in normal Mode the tunebot can't detect higher. It is it's maximum When u Hit the high frequency Button the tunebot will be able to detect more than 400 hertz 😉 U r welcome 😉🤟🥁🤟

Great video. I’m the worship director at my church here California. We currently have an x32 and it’s on his last breath. 😅. We planning on going the next step up and s31 seems like a great option for us. This videos you do are supper helpful. I do have some questions. Do you do any consulting ñ? Is the are way we can contact you?

This is a very useful video, but I have a different opinion. If I mix everything I can in the studio, I can't do that in a live system, because safety is very important with power amplifiers and speakers dealing with large voltages. So I add a little bit of transients on the drums at line level so that they light up at +3dB, and the end result is that I want the mix to run safely at line level. This is to prevent clipping on sudden input signals and subsequently protect the system if you don't have a dynamic processor. The desired mix is an operation, but it is also an operation to keep the system running well.

Very good explanations, especially the important topics of peak level and average level and how to handle them. Great video !

Hi! What iem do you use?

Hi. Can you tell me if you can record with this console at 96 kHz via USB, or is it limited to 48? Great videos, by the way! Thank you.

Solid video but I’m not standing on my Black Beauty or any of my snares for that matter! 😳😁 Instead, I tighten the top head really tight and let it sit overnight, then tune the next day. I also tune the top head to about 300hz so the fundamental of the drum ends up about a G or G# but this is more Bohnam than big fat snare sound.

Hey sir! I'm an audio tech at my church. We have the exact same set up at one of our campuses. Digico S31 60 channel version, Hear Tech WSG Bridge , Waves Soundgrid Impact server, and Superrack. For some reason when we use the insert send and return audio will pass through Superrack but no audio will come out of the console but as soon as we turn the insert off the audio will pass through again. Heres an example of an input and signal flow...Shure ULXD Mic comes into the S31 as a Dante input, then insert (send and return) Dante out to the bridge then out to the vocal bus, then master. We have a workaround set up in the mean time but that is not preferred. With the way we currently have it working if the server were to crash or Any ideas on what we could be doing wrong? We have to be missing something. I have spoken with Hear Tech support, Waves and Digico to no avail. We performed some needed updates but its still not working as designed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

Awesome video, loved this one and the black beauty tuning video! Question, how does a non drummer get into teching drums? Lol

That was an excellent guide, thank you so much!

God bless you thank you so much for taking the time to do this because we don’t have anyone to show us and we’re trying so hard to do as good as we can and do research to figure things out and put the pieces together

I have issues with snares clipping

This is brilliant!!

LOVE this!

If your console meters were setup to be RMS instead of PEAK would you just gain every channel to -18?

One of the best videos I've seen regarding mixing. Captions that let people know what you are doing why is incredible. Most people do not take time to do this. I hope you consider doing more like this. Thank you!

My man why you clipping the hell out of the master bus

Livesound has cometo be too Hitech and studio thinking

Sound saturating

Hiii

What is being fed to your IE? The main outs? Thank you for posting!

Lots of good suggestions. However recommend fitting butt end snare wire end fitting first as the position won’t move like the strainer end. You say that the snare wires you have fitted are Puresound. Unfortunately this is incorrect as (1) Puresound have straight ended brass end plates (2) Puresound don’t make more than 30 strand snare wires not 40 (3) these are probably Gibraltar 42 strand wires - still great wires though!! 🤘😁🥁👍

Any tutorials using the actual plugins on the board

Got that Chris greely preset eh?

From working on both A&H SQ's and Digico S-series consoles frequently, I've seen a couple of differences. You can pick and choose which works better for you, but there are my experiences: A&H SQ has 48 inputs PLUS 8 Stereo FX returns on top of the 48. On the S21/31 you have to use your input channels for FX returns (robbing you of input channels) SQ > S31 BUT, on the SQ you have to merge channels to create stereo channels, robbing you of channels. On the S31 you have 48 flexi channels which can all be used as stereo inputs. SQ<S31 SQ has 12 Stereo Mixes PLUS 4 dedicated FX Sends. On S21/31 you have 16 Stereo mixes, but again, have to use them for FX sends. But their totals are equal. SQ = S31 SQ has something called "Mix external inputs" which are additional input channels that are fed directly to mixes, without using up the 48 processing channels. S31 has nothing such. SQ > S31 S31 has 21 Dynamic EQ's PLUS Multi-band compressors. SQ has non such. Only normal EQ and compressor. SQ<S31 On SQ, you can assign any channel (input, output, FX, DCA, etc), to appear on multiple layers. On S31, any given channel can ONLY appear on ONE layer. If you have the Kick on layer 1, it can not be on another layer. That sucks big time. SQ > S31 On the SQ you have plenty of 'Soft-key' shortcuts which can be assigned to do anything. On the S31, you have...... zero. SQ > S31 S31 has a limited amount of 'sources' that can be sent to a matrix.. SQ can send ALL groups/mixes to any matrix. SQ > S31 S31 has 8x Mono Matrices, that must be linked in order to create 4x Stereo matrices. SQ only has 3 matrices that are either Mono or stereo, but always 3. SQ < S31 SQ has smart Talkback system for Monitor and FOH engineers.. S31 has non such. SQ > 31 S31 has dual "solo" paths... SQ only has one. SQ < S31 S31 has a spill set function. SQ has non such. SQ < S31 SQ has built in 48ch AMM, S31 needs a DMI card for such function. SQ > S31 SQ has one expansion slot for cards, S31 has two. SQ < S31 SQ has 7 "Direct Out" tapping point options. S31 only has 3. SQ > S31 SQ scribble strip allows only 6 characters. S31 allows 18. SQ < S31 There are plenty of other little differences. But from working with both of these consoles extensively, I have found more frustrations with the S-series consoles and more love with the SQ consoles. But again, each to his own. BOTH consoles are TOP end and sound amazing.

The way you guy do things is sometimes so unconventional but it sounds so good!

Hiya. Is it just me or is the sound coming from the console in this video mono?

Too much messing about man its a black beauty it can almost tune itself 😂

Cool..!!💯

I am floored that not more live sound consoles have RMS metering, at least on the preamp/gain meter.

42 strand ???

I'm a bass player, if i recorded something like that I'd quit! Just sounded like a farting synth... 🤮

Great tutorial! What Ludwig kit is that?

Thanks so much!!! Very helpful, especially the info on levels for CZcams.

PFL is....😱😱😱

how do you deal with monitors for musicals with this gain of the vocals? I aways found to not have enough of volume if the stage is loud and I set their gain lower...

You are doing such a great job This was helping me so much improving my sound in a worship tour. Greetings from germany
