#Mixing live sound basics how to

Um, and then later this afternoon, we're actually gonna jump onto the consul and actually talk about mixing, we're going to set up the consul specifically for monitors and show how you can walk through ah, typical monitor set up setting up multiple mixes both for stage wedges and for stereo in your monitors were actually going to use a session that we recorded live well, pipe that back through the console and actually mix and create a number of different mixes for bandas if they're on stage after that, we're going to talk about mixing front of house, which is what the audience here, so when you're standing out in front of house, we're gonna talk about how toe sort of go with, go through sound check and actually mixed the entire show on and set up the consul for a live sound mixing environment.

Loudspeakers air obviously one of the most important parts of a sound system, as they are actually transducer all of the electricity, electrical signal into audio that you've been here, so we'll go over different types and how to use those and how to set them up. We're going over every major type of speaker that you need to know. When we talked about that section after that, we're going to jump straight into loudspeakers. We're going to show how you can use both an analog split snake and a digital snake to send signals from the stage anywhere you need either, whether it's, the monitor counselor, back to front of house, and then we'll show a typical wiring diagram and what's called a festival patch, which we'll get into. Next, we're going to jump straight into io, which is all about snakes and actual signal distribution. So we'll spend a good amount of time talking about power this morning. The most important thing when you're talking about mixing lif.Į sound first is you need electricity, electricity is a complicated thing and understanding how it works, how it's measured in how we can use it to amplify sound in the sound system, is the first topic going to get into we're going to go over all the basics, all the nerdy stuff from, you know, understanding electrical current all the way to how you physically actually plug everything into a power destro and feed it to all of your amplifiers, mixing consoles on dh speakers in that whole workflow. What we're going to be covering this morning just real quickly to kind of jump into it, we're going to start off by getting into sort of the basics of electrical power. So stay tuned throughout the day as we show some of those segments to illustrate some of these topics. We're able, teo put together this class in partnership with the very project and capitol hill block party, and we actually shot a majority of the footage today that we're going to talk about at a real festival right here in seattle, you're going get to see some clips from everything from setting up our and distribution flying speakers up on cable trusses, mixing front of house mixing monitors, all in actual real world environment at a music festival here in seattle. We've got a tremendous amount of stuff to cover really, really excited. My name is zak varnell, and I'm here to talk to us today about mixing live sound.

Well, welcome everybody to creative live.
