4. Good Practice 4.1 “Zeroing” It’s good practice to “zero” your mixer and turn down relevant channels before connecting any devices as this prevents potential damage to speakers or other equipment. Follow these steps to make sure you’re safe and you avoid thumps and bangs when plugging equipment in. -

6. Get the best sound 6.1 Gain Structure Once you’ve connected your instruments and equipment you will need to set input levels before you can mix the signals together. Gain structure is important to get the maximum signal level, whilst maintaining headroom and without undesired distortion. - Page 9 6.3 Balancing the Mix Once you have set input gain levels and applied EQ to source signals, you can start to mix all of your channels to the outputs. Consider the importance of each instrument and how they should be heard in the mix.
