  • Can you record two separate audio channels on any mixer? Yes, you can get 2 separated tracks by panning two channels of a stereo mix. All gear and settings listed below & kit.co/rayortega

    Track: Emancipation by Vincent Tone
    Most mixers don't record true multitrack audio, that is, they don't send each of the individual inputs out to software (typically via USB) so that you can record each audio channel onto its own track.
    By hard panning (all the way) one channel left and another channel all the way to the right, you can record a stereo file that will contain microphone one only on the left side and microphone two only on the right.
    In this video, the mixer was connected to the computer via USB but you could also connect via the L/R 1/4" outputs using a cable that has a 1/8" stereo connector on the other end to go into the line input of your computer. In your DAW (aka audio software) make sure you are recording to a stereo track so that you get both the left and right signals separately from the mixer.
    In your editor (DAW), during post-production, you simply separate this stereo track into two mono tracks and now you have channel one and two on their own tracks or in their own mono file.
    This allows you to give each track its own customized FX as well as remove unwanted audio that would otherwise be blended together with the other channel if you did not use this method.
    This is excellent for podcasters using cheaper mixers that only send a stereo mix output, allowing at least two hosts to record audio onto their own track for further processing in the edit.

    I found this trick kind of on accident a few years ago when I had an Alesis mixer and I had my mic on channel one and skype on two, but I didn't have any aux busses on the mixer so I hard panned them and fed just the left side (my audio) back to skype so my co-host wouldn't hear his audio back. The lightbulb went off shortly after about separating the recording into separate mono tracks. Works great.

    This is what I want to do with our mixer at church. I want the keyboard, drums, and guitar on their own track for later music mixing. Right now, it is all on one track in the final outputted recording. I am using Vmix for video/audio recording for our Facebook Live stream and local TV programs but want to have each line in their own track. My hardware for all of this includes: 24 channel audio mixer, Blackmagic Web presenter, Vmix. Main output is running from mixer into the web presenter picked up in Vmix. I am recording a video and individual audio file from Vmix. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks Ray!

      Hi, Joseph. With the panning setup you can only get two separate channels, however something that might work for you with your mixer might be this czcams.com/video/NKiAtodLOaE/video.html however, in order to get multitracks, you need a multitrack recorder for the direct outputs to go into.

My set up is a beringer 1202 mixer, 2 mics guitar keyboard. How can i record instruments and vocals on separate tracks. Can i use a voice recorder? Will the instruction you gave on this video help?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  Pƙed 3 lety

      Thanks, Derwin! With that mixer and the setup you're looking to achieve, you can't really do separate tracks because you need more than 2 channels. The video above is only for separating a stereo mix which would result in two channels but you have more inputs than that. You could try overdubbing which would be playing each instrument one at a time in your DAW and with this tutorial you might be able to record two things at once into a DAW. Bottom line, music is a different beast that often requires a true multitrack recorder or mixer for independent channels.

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  Pƙed 5 lety

      Johnny, you're only going to be able to separate two because an analog mixer outputs a stereo track only. However, there is another hack but it doe not apply to all mixers. If your mixer has Insert channels, you can take a direct feed from each channel's Insert jack and output each of those into a separate channel on a recorder that has multiple !/4" inputs.

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  Pƙed 3 lety

      If the mixer is not a true multichannel mixer in that it sends all channels individually via USB then this will only work for two channels of audio because any other mixer will be a stereo output (2 channels). You could group them, channels 1 and 2 left and 3/4 right which would still be better than everything mixed together.

For example, I recorded a guitar track with me singing, then I went back to rerecord a section of the vocal track and it recorded the guitar in the background. it also does this when I tried to lay a lead section over the guitar part on a separate channel.

      Not sure what the question is. Yes you can use a mixer to send out audio to in-house monitors for everyone to hear while also recording. It may depend on the mixer whether you can pan the channels or not, some outputs might have the panning and some may not and in that case you'd feed the monitors with the non panned outputs and then the recording with the panned output

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  Pƙed 5 lety +1

      Yes you could pan it left or right but you will be joining it with either the mic audio or the phone audio. With this method you are limited to only two separate channels. I'd add in music later or just put the music on the phone side since that person will be less likely to be talking when the music is going and then you'll have the music on a separate track from when you are talking over it and can make any necessary adjustments in post.

    Hey Ray, Thanks for the post. Problem: I still get a little bleed thru on my voice track, the music is very faint, but it is still there. Is there any way to get rid of that music.

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  Pƙed 4 lety

      I think that might be on a mixer by mixer basis where some mixers have bleed even when panned hard. In the case of dialog it wouldn't be terrible but with music I can imagine it's a bigger issue. I definitely need to look into if the bleed is a quality issue.

    I'm planning to by a Zoom l-12 Multitrak to record my stereo keyboards. In order to record stereo, should I just use splitter cables and connect my keyboards to 2 mono inputs each on the Zoom l-12? This should give me two files for left and right which I can then link in my DAW?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  Pƙed 4 lety

      Does the keyboard have a Left and Right analog output? I would think that if so, you could come out of each into it's own channel on the L-12 and then you have that recording for post production.

      On a stereo out mixer you will not be able to get more than two channels unless you have insert channels and you use this method czcams.com/video/NKiAtodLOaE/video.html but this method also requires a separate recorder which would have the number of inputs you'd need so at that point you wouldn't really need the mixer unless it's doing something else for you.

    I'm trying to record two inputs on one stereo track, so that the guitar is on left side and vocal is on right side. I can then split them and turn them into stereo tracks for mixing.
    I have the guitar input hard left and vocal hard right, but when I record to a stereo track the two inputs automatically combine into 1 stereo track with both inputs mixed together. How can I get them to split left and right? I have done it once by mistake and haven't a clue how I managed it! I actually had 2 mics on left and 2 on right, so I know it's possible! I'm using a powermate 1000 desk and USB out to laptop recording with Mixpad. Anyone got any ideas! 😱

I see the left and right channels separated on the board's meter, but the further I pan right, the lower the signal into the PC until it cuts out entirely. It also only outputs to one stereo or one mono signal. I can't get two separate left and right signals. I'm starting to think my board is just fucked.

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  Pƙed 3 lety +1

      Probably the best way would be to run a reverb effects unit to your microphone channel via the aux channel then your mic would have reverb only. Otherwise in OBS, you probably can't affect the left and right sides of the channels separately so it needs to be done at the mixer. Some mixers also have reverb built in
