Thank you. Yeh I almost dropped the background music for that bit. Noted for next time. Cheers.

Thank you. Hopefully people will these videos useful and help them out at gigs.

Thank you for subscribing. I’m glad you found the video useful.

Thank you. Yeh I made a bit of an error with the background music and didn’t notice until after uploading. I thought it was a lot quieter when editing but think the video/file compression altered things a little when rending the exported file. Lesson learnt for future videos.

No worries. I hope you found the video useful.

No problem at all, good to hear the video can help somebody. Please subscribe if you haven’t already - I’d really appreciate it.

New video on the way soon.

No worries, glad you found the video useful and good to hear it’s helped. Can you be more specific about what you need some advice with?

@@JaspTechAudio like what levels should everything be at , I.e from the controller, mixer, and speakers

Thank you. Noted for next time. To be fair, I’ve learnt something doing this video. The music was really low during editing, but it looks like Final Cut has done something whilst exporting the video. It’s either applied some automatic volume changes or the file compression has done something during the export. There are parts of the video where the music gets louder when my talking gets quieter (like when I pull the mic away from my mouth) and other parts when the music pretty much cuts out, like when the mic is feedback during the graphic EQ section. This is something I automated or programmed and only noticed it after I’d uploaded the video. Glad you found the video useful though.

Have you had chance to have a play at another gig yet? When it comes to people just speaking into a microphone it can sometimes be difficult to get the volume needed, especially if the person speaking isn’t talking directly into the microphone. I had this at DJ gig a few weeks ago where somebody used my radio mic to give a speech. They held the mic really low and didn’t speak directly into it. Thankfully though, where they were stood was behind my speakers. I also cut the lows and low mids, which cleaned up the sound and helped prevent feedback. Like I say in my intro I’m a music teacher and I often setup a microphone for the head teacher to use when stood at a lectern. For this I do use a condenser microphone rather than a dynamic microphone. A condenser microphone (which needs phantom power) is designed to pickup sound from further away, but the downside to that is they can then also pickup reflected sound and signals coming from the PA speakers more easily, so you may need to do more work on the graphic EQ. I hope some of that helps.

This is exactly what i struggle with everyday! Please do more videos on this.

KZfaq doesn’t let you replace videos, only delete them which means losing everything associated with the video. Lesson learnt for future videos though.

​@@JaspTechAudiodo you have an email where i can send some questions to? Thanks

Hi. Yes no problem. It’s JaspTech.audio@gmail.com

I think people have different preferences… The background music actually didn’t bother me at all… 😂

No problem at all, I hope it was helpful.
