Mute mixing, for lack of a better phrase, enables volume problems to be fixed, EQ oddities to be corrected, and the overall mix to Defining different protocols and looking at their advantages and disadvantages with an eye on the future of audio networking.
If we truly want every detail of the performance to shine through, there could be a different approach than the one we're typically using Increase your confidence and pick the battles you can win by getting actionable data without having to resort to ill-advised additional windowing or excessive A way to meet a common challenge presented by drum kits to attain better consistency in both live and streaming mixes.
Industry veteran of more than 30 years trained first as a musician and arranger before going into post-production and then moving along a diverse Study Hall. Supported By. February 18, Andy Coules. Considering the current capabilities of digital consoles, how we got here, and what the future of mixing may hold. With the introduction of solid-state condenser mics, designers began to incorporate microphone powering as part their overall design approach to production mixers, which eliminated the need for cumbersome outboard power supplies.
Some mixers also began to include mic preamp gain trims as part the overall design approach also borrowed from music consoles of the era , which made it easier to optimize the gain and fader settings for a particular microphone, and the dynamics of a scene. This was due in part to some resistance on the part of sound mixers who had grown up on rotary faders with some good-sized bakelite knobs on them!
Four input mixers were still the standard in most production sound setups, with little or no equalization. But the landscape was beginning to shift. While RCA and Westrex were still around, they had lost their dominance in the production world of film although RCA still had a thriving business in theater sound service arena.

Overview The past ninety years of sound recording for motion picture production has seen a steady evolution in regards to the technologies used both on set and in studios for post production.
Western Electric film sound operating manuals ca. Western Electric 22C console. While this particular console was designed for broadcast, with some modification to monitoring, it was also the basis of film recording mixers. Sela portable mixer designed for use with Nagra recorders. Incorporating T-power for mics, and low-frequency EQ, this was an industry standard for years.
Westrex RA stereo mixer. This mixer, introduced in , was made in six different configurations, equipped with either four or six inputs, and variations on buss assignments. Two models are available: the rack-mountable LS, and the larger LS This variation added a digital stage box solution to the groundbreaking M7CL that was originally intended to directly replace analog mixers in existing systems.
The 01V96i is basically an 01V96 outfitted with the very latest technology, multitrack recording capability, advanced VCM effects, and a refined high-performance head amp section, to meet the needs of today's demanding live sound applications.
A USB connector supports channel audio input and output, and can be directly connected to a computer running Steinberg Cubase AI6 or similar DAW software to allow multitrack recording via a single cable.
The demands and expectations directed at the mixing console, the core of any live sound system, are vast and varied. The ideal console must deliver reproduction performance and sound-shaping features that can satisfy an overwhelming variety of artists and engineers, while simultaneously being able to adapt to the needs of the moment in any environment with versatile operability. And of course it must be able to integrate smoothly into a wide range of systems.
The CL series consoles come as close as possible to the ideal using the most advanced technology available at this time.
The acclaimed CL series raised live digital mixing console performance to an unprecedented level of refinement with evolved sound quality, operability, and functionality. Core features and performance inherited directly from the CL series, including natural sound supported by sonically superb internal processing capabilities, operation that easily adapts to the demands of just about any working environment, and built-in Dante networking that facilitates flexible system configuration, have now been condensed and concentrated into the compact QL series digital mixing consoles.
QL series consoles offer all-in-one mixing, processing, and routing capability for small to medium scale live sound, corporate speech events, installations, and much more. With the TouchFlow Operation interface optimized for touch panel control, experienced engineers as well as newcomers to the field will find it easier than ever to achieve the ideal mix. Experience the intuitive control and creative freedom that a truly evolved digital console can provide. In the more than 40 years that have passed since Yamaha's first professional live sound console was released, the PM series has been responsible for a number of important milestones in the history of sound reinforcement.
Many of those innovations have become standard tools that professionals depend on to this day. In terms of sound quality, operation, functionality, reliability, expandability, and more, the RIVAGE PM10 is a thoroughly refined flagship that defines the direction for future generations.
The more functionality a digital live mixing console offers, the more challenging it becomes for the sound engineer to control and manage it all. Also, the way an algorithm is presented - e. In other words, the user interface is part of the sound algorithm. Supporting a good overview with an efficient workflow to get to the details of a channel strip fast and accurately, as well as supporting creative decision-making in a chaotic live concert environment through a carefully designed user interface, are the key things to look for when selecting a digital mixing console.
