    Thank you for this video. Too be honest I wish I knew these things back when I was working in the studio 🤣 but better late than ever. The people that got me into the studio working never even tried too explain these things too me.

    Help!
    I am having trouble with the YouTube sound quality of my livestream. In house, everything sounds fine. But on YouTube piano music and vocals cut in and out. Almost like under water garble. How can I fix this?

    I am using Mackie Profx12v3
    My keyboard is connected to channel 1. HZ is engaged.
    My wireless mics for vocalist is on channel 4. Each channel has LR engaged
    Mackie is connected to computer via USB
    And I’m using obs to record to YouTube

    Why won’t my livestream audio sound like it does in house. For context, this is for church livestream

    Hi, what if you can’t turn down the PA system itself in the back? How do you manage gain structure? Sometimes I have feedbacks and the only option I have (I think) is to turn down the gains. Thanks for the help!
