Do you know what all those knobs do?
Any sound engineer has heard this question more times than they would wish to remember! We speak of course of the mixing desk. With its array of buttons and dials it seems like a maze to the novice or layperson but in fact, the operation of the mixer is surprisingly simple.
The first levelling concept is this: Each control only does one of two things. Either:
a) Makes a sound, or part of a sound louder or quieter
b) Sends a sound elsewhere around the desk
The second great concept is that, if you look at the desk you will notice that each vertical line of knobs and dials is repeated throughout the board left to right so there are, in effect a lot fewer ‘different’ controls than may be apparent at first sight. Each vertical slice controls one channel…a particular microphone, DI box etc.
…of course we can keep going…..
