- In this video I will take you through everything you need to know about routing audio out of your mixing desk. We will look at mix buses, aux sends, physical outputs, 1-to-1 patching and of course, pre-fade and post-fade mixing, what are the differences, when do you use them and what does it all mean?

Excellent information! Thanks for sharing.
One thing to note is that we're supposed to be looking to the *right* for the overall output level, when the effect of pre- and post-fade on the selected output port is being contrasted. At 20:24, there's a gesture to the left, but this may be because of the use of presenter's perspective. This follows downward glances that, to the viewer, also appear to be to the left. (Similarly, at 20:18, the words "post-fade mix" are gestured right-to-left from the viewer's perspective.) This might be obvious if you use your stuff a lot, but initially, I was looking at the brighter lights on the left anyway - the source levels - which of course were not going to change.
An initial thumbsup from me just for pronouncing "routing' as a UK speaker should (4:12). Many US speakers pronounce 'rout' and 'route' the same way. That's their option, though a 'rout' is not a very nice thing.
The context setting is also great. Nice to take the trouble to actually present an older analogue mixer and to be concrete about some of the differences that a digital mixer presents.
Good sir
Great and very clear thanks alot
You are welcome!
Thank you bro much appreciation....🙏

Sending to two outputs: 5:30
Can you do a video on recording onto USB, both stereo and multi. Also how, if possible, you can send a channel to stereo record, but not out of the main L R output? Many thanks, Mark.
Sure, happy to. And all that is possible on the SQ series 👍🏻
Hello. Could you please make a video on this please? Thanks in advance for your help. So my Current setup on my SQ 6 for the Church is the Kick Drum is not Going on the FOH speakers but it's going out directly to the Subwoofers via an AUX.
For my Streaming Live, My L/R and the AUX is going through a Matrix to the OBS.
Is there a more simple way to have everything going through my LR including the Kick Drum to my Live Streaming?
WE don't have a Subwoofer who filters the Low and the High.
Many thanks
Not entirely sure I understand the question but I think you want to know how to put the kick into LR? In which case have a look in the routing page. Sounds like LR for that channel will be turned off. Just turn it on again
Hi, I would like to know how I can make the EQ pre-fader, since I don't want the mix in my auxiliaries to be affected when I am equalizing for Left and Right. Thank you
I’m not sure this would be possible. Also, the mix in your aux would sound pretty horrible if everything going into it didn’t have an EQ on it.
The only way I could think to do this would be to double patch every channel. Send one to the FOH with EQ and the other channel can send to your aux without EQ.
@@PluggedinAV Thanks you very much.
How to live streaming audio in OBS through USB B in SQ
You need to select USB B in the settings menu. You can either use USB B or SQ drive and not both.
I've tried this through a USB B connection but am repeatedly seeing a huge drop in audio levels. Any thoughts on how to counteract this?@@PluggedinAV
@@rpat1 that’s an interesting one. Never come across that before. Have you tried different cables? What mixer are you using?
It’s super clear but i lose you once you talk about when to use which. I assumed that changing your mix for main L/R bus doesn’t influence any of your aux busses. But why would setting an input channel to post fader mean that changing your main L/R bus mix would also change any of the other busses?
Post fade literally means post (after) the fader. That means every time you change a fader position that change will be reflected on your post fade bus mix
