    Overall, I thought you did a good job on this edition. My only complaint is that you present the “mix on the gain controls method without mentioning the optimize gain on each channel, then mix on the faders method. I use both, or a hybrid of the two depending on what I think will work best for the project. Understanding the pros and cons of both methods is good for sound tech so that they have an “expanded toolkit” to work from.

    That said, I really liked the way you spent the time to talk about optimizing the audio before it hits the mic pre. As I like to point out to people who I’m teaching, when there is a problem with audio in a channel, first, look to the source. As we both know, too many people just start grabbing knobs first.

    It’s been said to me that learning audio is like an onion. You learn the first layer, and peel it back. Oh look, there’s another layer. I like the idea of presenting bite-sized chunks focused on a single concept. Keep up the good work.

    Analog mixers are fantastic! I prefer them over a digital mixer, people think I am nuts for this.
    It takes a true mixing artist to run an analog mixer properly, a skill most do not have.

    Thanks for the website and podcast man,
    God Bless
