If you adjust the EQ you will need to re-check your gain level using the above method.<\/p>\n<p>Faders allow you to make fine adjustments to your sounds and act as a visual indication of the overall mix levels. It is important to keep your input faders aroundthe &#8216;0&#8217; mark for greater control. This is because fader scales are typically logarithmic and not linear so if your fader<br \/>position is near the bottom of its travel then even a small movement will lead to huge leaps in level.Similarly try not to have your fader at the top of its travel because this will leave you no room to further boost the signal.<\/p>\n<p>Set your master outputs to &#8216;0&#8217; on the scale.<\/p>\n<p>There are three reasons for this;<br \/>                       1. You have the maximum fader travel for fading out your mix.<br \/>                       2. If your faders are set below &#8216;0&#8217; you will not be getting the<br \/>                       full benefit from the meters because you will only be using the<br \/>                       first few LED&#8217;s on the meter scale.<br \/>                       3. Your mixer is not an amplifier. So the master output faders<br \/>                       should be set to maximum (&#8216;0&#8217; on scale). If extra output is required,<br \/>                       then turn up your amplifier <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33741],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I set up a basic mix? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/set-up-basic-mix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I set up a basic mix? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Press the PFL\/Solo switch on the relevant input.
