Also, the latest version of X-Edit software (X-Edit PC V4.2) can be seen in use in some places in the video. This is the same as the Midas M-Edit PC software. The Mac software is also very similar. These general mixing topics are relevant to consoles from other manufacturers too, but obviously the surfaces and GUI will look different on those. The information is mainly geared to live audio production but also has some recording fundamentals in it as well. It should be pertinent to techs, bands, schools, auditoriums, houses of worship, volunteers and those new to mixing, and anyone new to the X/M32 mixers, as well as those making a transition from analog to digital consoles. Perfect info for any venue with these consoles as part of their installed sound system. The information about EQ is presented in a general sense. EQ is subjective, at least to a point, so I can only speak in general terms about EQ and EQ concepts. There is no perfect EQ setting, and the microphone, mic placement, instruments, backline (stage amps/drums) and musician/vocalist all play a factor in the final settings, as well as the operator's ears. Still, staying within the norms of these typical concepts presented here should help you build a more solid baseline to find and tweak settings. Also, it should be noted, if you're coming at this from the POV of a studio engineer, the physics of a live performance are more limiting than what you might be used to in the studio. The concepts are the same, but typically, in a live situation, a more conservative approach will usually pay dividends. A couple of reasons here- One of which is that feedback isn't nearly the problem in the studio as it is on a live stage. Many venues don't have the best of acoustical environments. Right there with that- Volume, headroom, speaker dispersion, and the limits of sound system speaker abilities at show levels aren't really that much of a studio issue either. You can push some things in the studio without consequence that you can't get away with live. Especially, in smaller venues and with smaller sound systems.
