Thanks so much for your support! - Hudba
I am reeeeeally happy I found your channel. Lots of info to learn from you. Thank you thank you.
Thank you so much for watching! I enjoy making the videos and hope they are interesting and useful.
Greetings and health from Spain. I have a low level of English but I can defend myself. (In Spain we say: It is well born, to be grateful )))
Thank you! Hello from the USA! I love Spain! My good friend Peter is from Spain.
Can't wait to dive in and watch more videos from you!
Awesome! Thank you! I have made a lot of videos on this channel. Over 300 total and I've tested more than 12 different mixing consoles and a lot of other analog gear.
Awesome!!!
Thank you!
Great! 🙌🏼
cool tip: if you upgrade the firmware of the NUX Atlantic to the latest version you can set it to 100% wet mode so it can work better as an outboard effect for mixing.
Thank you! I'll definitely need to do that to mine. I have used it a lot as a studio effect.
I use to have that console... Great board, very reliable, I miss it... Awesome content...👍🏾
Thank you! I used Mackies a lot back in my time working commercial studios. I always liked them and thought they sounded good. This one was a lucky find as it's in decent shape and I got it cheap.
Just picked up the Mackie 24-8...and would love to see a series on this desk...and all of it's capabilities etc...examples if eq'ing etc...routing from tape in to re routing elsewhere...the direct out is amazing too on this machine...the Mackie 24-8 is a wildly capable and versatile desk...
Sure! I was planning on making more videos with the Mackie 8 Bus. I have 3 I think but I will definitely make more showing how everything works as time allows. I'm on a gear hunting trip at the moment to find more gear to feature on the channel. Thanks so much for your comment.
@@TwinCreekAudio cheers for the reply, friend...love your channel and love your calm approach to music technology both past and present...👍👌
Great video! Thanks for this!
Thank you!
Nice brother
Thank you!
Gr8 vid
Thank you!
have you ever used a soundtech panoramic series (or any other from this brand)? i'm interested in the 24x8 version of the panoramic for my studio but there's so little info around.
happy new year!
Happy New Year! Unfortunately I am not familiar with anything made by Soundtech. I have seen some mixers with that name a long time ago but they were small mixers made or club or band practice so might not be the same. Some newer Soundtech consoles seem to be associated with Trident so could be good. I just havent had any experience with them or any Trident newer than an 80B.
I own this very console and this is informative can't wait for the next video on this.
I read the manual and it is saying that a lot of the connections are not balanced on this unit will that make a difference?
It makes the most difference with long cable runs. I've never any issues running unbalanced consoles like this in my small studio. The mic connections are balanced and those are probably the longest cables I use. I'll be setting up and recording with the Mackie next time. Thanks so much for watching!
Hey Grady! Great vid as always! I just recently picked up the 32.8 Bus Mackie board with the meter bridge. It's awesome! I have a question? What is the best brand, and type of audio interface to use with these boards? Are you running yours into a two channel interface or, one with multiple inputs, and outputs?
I'm using older firewire interfaces but anything that works with your DAW will work fine. Mine have 24 individual inputs and outputs so they are definitely multi-channel interfaces. There's really no way to use a console for summing with just a two-channel interface. There are probably a lot of better interfaces on the market now, but I am still using Echo Audiofire 12s synced with word clock and connected with FireWire 400 to 800 cables and a Thunderbolt to firewire adapter for my Mac Pro. There are so many great interfaces available now, it's hard to say which is best. I think the RME Digiface is a good way to go since its USB to the DAW host and ADAT connections for up to 32 channels of IO. You could then pick and choose 8 channel converters for each set of 8 IO.
@@TwinCreekAudio Thank You very much man! I was thinking about getting one of those older Motu 24i/o interfaces as they are apparently also Firewire. They have 24 analog inputs, and outputs which would be more than enough for summing even though my board has 32 channels. I'm also running into an iMac. Before I got this 32.8 Bus board, I was running a Mackie 1640i (firewire to thunderbolt adaptor into iMac) That's a great smaller board but, I really love the 32 mixing desk. Maybe I can patch the two together, and use the 1640i as the interface, and the 32 8 Bus as the main board. Anyway, Keep your awesome videos coming! I appreciate you!
@@The-Jim-Miller-Project Thank you! I'm using my 24 channels of IO with a 44 channel console. The extra channels are good for effects returns with EQ and I've also used the extra channels to connect some tape machines to the console for video demos. I should have more videos coming with the Mackie and other analog gear soon. Thanks again!
@@TwinCreekAudio Very Cool! Thank You again as well, Grady!
Hey Grady! Hope all is good. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids. I’ve been recently using the Submaster inserts on the Mackie 8Bus for parallel compression on the whole mix with 4 different compressors. Two stereo, and two mono compressors. I find it to make the mix great sounding. Very punchy. Does doing parallel compression on the entire mix override the need to put a bus compressor on the two bus or, would you still use one?
you should have more views, just saying!
Question for ya!
I have a Mackie Pro Fx 12v3, I can use the inserts as direct outputs if I only insert cable to first click. Do all consoles typically have this feature?
Thank you! I think so too. I've put a lot of work into this channel. It's growing but slowly which is OK since the viewers are likely more legitimate that way.
@@TwinCreekAudio well I appreciate your efforts, I make videos as well so I know the struggle. I've been experimenting with some OBS content and made a video recently explaining how to route signal into analog gear using reainsert. I enjoy teaching people what I know and also enjoy learning new skills... Keep up the great work pal
@@bear-headstudios1212 Thank you! I'll have to go check out your videos. I've only explored Reainsert a little so far. Maybe we can collaborate sometime. I'm also big Reaper fan and long time user. Thanks again!
Most inserts should work that way. Use whatever side of the insert is send. With the Mackie, its ring but the Soundtracs was tip send.
I use a Soundcraft (GB8) 48ch console with 8 busses. Unfortunately, it's not in-line. I mainly mix and not record, so it works decently.
Also, have a TSR-8 1/2". I really need to use it more! Good video Grady..
Thank you! My main console is a Soundcraft. The Mackie is great for demonstrations though. I like the TSR-8 as well. The studio I started in had one.
You can probably use some of the extra channels as tape returns and other for recording if you need to do both at the same time. Soundcraft makes great consoles so it should sound good regardless.
I have GB8 also ❤to see the older gear still rockin
@@kevinlentz7604agreed!
its not a inline console it was wath betwen . like a soundtracs topaz .
They are designed different ways. Usually when the monitor channels are embedded in the main channels, it's an inline design. The Topaz was made in different versions with the Project 8 having the monitor channels embedded in the main channels. The Topaz Maxi etc do not have these as they are designed more for sound reinforcement or theater.
