Well done again Ryan, as an ex broadcast audio guy myself I've explained this to many folks over the years. very pleased too when you covered the fact that the routing done with fore-thought gives you a communication channel too. An invaluable and much underused facility. Cheers mate. Ian
Thanks Ian! Hope it helps some people out there! It is one of those things that really can be confusing to get your head around.. hopefully I explained it in a way that someone can understand.. maybe I should see if my wife can understand it… not a bad idea moving forward! See if it passes the my wife now understands it test ;)
Since the 70s the AUX sends were also called buses. So the AUX send is the red bus connected to every channel, and if you want something sent out on the master AUX send you turn up how much of that channel with the red knob so it jumps on the bus. If you're doing a phone call you send only your voice using the AUX send and return the voice on a channel with the AUX send off on that channel--so you don't send back the caller's voice.
Well explained with good example on a small mixer and a big mixer! Thanks Ryan! The Berringer X16 air seams to be a good mixer for small event production.
Hi Ryan, Good explanation , But I'd like to add there are two types of Mix minus, depending on whether you are Up stream or Downstream of the main Broadcast point.. (The set ups are very different) If you are up stream eg Feeding into a show as the guest.. Your Guest Needs to hear your return Mix minus. But the LINE output does NOT contain your Mix minus. (so you the host does not hear yourself back also) In that case you send an aux mix to the ear of the guest. at the broadcast end The Full mix goes to line, Guest plus host, The Host should have a Full mix in their ear, and Only the return to the Guest is a Mix Minus.. These are very different Mixer set ups.
Really well explained Ryan... I am in the process of building my own live streaming rack, largely based on your portable live streaming rig. Waiting to get my hands on the XR16! Thanks for the videos! :)
Thanks Ryan - very handy as I'm about to install our new X AIR XR16 (following your previous recommendations) into our re-built 8RU rig... I'm still looking for your reply to my questions on your previous post - please? cheers John
Here is one I prepared earlier :) czcams.com/video/aQzW15dU0Fg/video.html Everything is the same except for the audio is firing the audio playback in the mixer. But the method is still the same as here :)
Can you do a tutorial with more on companion and xair 16? I announce rodeos and mix my own music during the show. Having a stream deck running my x16 would make life so much easier!! Clown mic, music, multiple mics for singers, all being mixed over house sound and livestream
I Wish someone would show what the zoom settings look like in order for the zoom presenter to send their audio but also receive the mix minus signal in one zoom call.
If they were in the same zoom call and you were using a normal zoom client you would only need 1 input and output as everything would then get mixed in zoom, unless you are using zoom rooms where you can get individual audio through NDI. but would still "inject" the program audio mix minus into 1 machine
@@RyanSomerfield Thanks for the great videos Ryan! Though I still cant wrap my head around one thing. If there is a Zoom Call (Or GoToMeeting in my Case) going on. This solutions works even if there are 5-6 People on the call an they are having a discussion? What I mean is, I only need one input/output, as in "Guest 1", and this would work? I am confused :D thanks for clearing this up if possible!
@@NiGO83 no worries! I think I get what you mean. The main thing is you are trying to insert yourself into a call of any sort, if all other guests are coming in on one machine then they all would be mixed by the software together (video and audio) so as long as the audio you are sending to the call from yourself (being on the same or different machine contains everything but what is already on the call (all other guests) then you will be ok. If you for example have 6 computers bringing in each person individually then it gets a little more complicated, but ultimately to get yourself in the call it’s the same process, pipe back in yourself and not anyone on the call and you’re good to go.. hope that helps, let me know if not

It’s a pretty awesome kit for that size gig!

oh, i think i found it. referring to my comment on the stream day 22 video.
Thanks so much for the info.
Can you demonstrate how you achieve your stinger effect in a new video?
Here is one I prepared earlier :) czcams.com/video/aQzW15dU0Fg/video.html Everything is the same except for the audio is firing the audio playback in the mixer. But the method is still the same as here :)
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$

czcams.com/video/6j7i06kzdyo/video.html sure thing! :)

Could you change the colour of your mouse when you show your mixer, it would help me see it a lot eaiser - (old age setting in)
Good idea! Will also try and make it bigger next time, thanks for the heads up!
Are Guest 1 and Guest 2 on the same Zoom call?
I think in this example they are not. I am showing an example where you had 2 different calls for going and showing how this can scale.
If they were in the same zoom call and you were using a normal zoom client you would only need 1 input and output as everything would then get mixed in zoom, unless you are using zoom rooms where you can get individual audio through NDI. but would still "inject" the program audio mix minus into 1 machine
@@RyanSomerfield Ok, that makes sense.
