How to mix the band - Gain Staging - basic channel setup for a band Part 1 - Allen & Heath QU series

Today I’m starting an introductory series using the qu32 to run FOH for a band. We’ll start by talking about stage plot and input list docs. Then some setup functions on the mixer to use a prerecorded multitrack project as the input for a virtual sound check. In this first episode I’ll focus on “gain staging” - the processes of getting each input channel to peak at or near 0db and the reason that’s important. Here’s a link where you can download this and many more multi track recordings for virtual sound checks. https://cambridge-mt.com/ms/mtk/ Today we’re using “All I Know by Avalon” Allen & Heath qu16 https://amzn.to/2QfQt8q Shure beta58 mic https://amzn.to/3j3G5NB K&M mic stand https://amzn.to/3j0QKZe XLR mic cable. https://amzn.to/3hyha4c
