How did you set up a come feed on your Allen and Heath. I would really like to see a video about that

[@PluggedinAV]

I’ve done it in a couple of ways in the past. I can either use a top down shot or an over the shoulder shot. But often the easiest thing is not to use a camera but connect it to a laptop with control software and just screen record the laptop.
Take a look at the other digital audio videos on my channel as I do go through the setup.

This mic sounds nice. A lot more low-end in it, whilst also clear. However, the low-end of the voice could be due to proximity. But all in all, nice.

[@PluggedinAV]

Great, yes I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it back.
And yes, definitely lots of low end the closer you get 👍🏻

[@simonacoustics]

Also, I note that you've got Left feeds of instruments into EVEN channel numbers. How do you (personally) handle this? I can't cope with Left instrument channels being anything but an odd number. I guess the SQ doesn't limit you so much as ganging can handle it either way, but I still can't bring myself to do it!

[@PluggedinAV]

lol, this was actually a mistake I made in the spreadsheet which I had to change when I built the desk. Not because it bothers me but because the SQ doesn’t allow you to do that.
