Page 11: Scene Memories
ProMix 01 Key Features ProMix 01 Key Features This section looks at some ProMix 01 key features; what they mean to you and how you can take advantage of them. Scene Memories Until now, the only way to store mix settings was with marker pen and masking tape. - Page 12 Chapter 1: Welcome to ProMix 01 Digital Benefits You’re probably already familiar with the many benefits of digital audio, but what exactly are the benefits for digital audio mixing? Well, an audio mixer has the job of combining audio signals from various sources, at differing levels and impedances, usually into a stereo sig- nal.
-
Page 13: Internal Effects
ProMix 01 Key Features Internal Effects ProMix 01 features two stereo internal multi-effects processors. A whole range of effects from reverbs to modulation effects are pro- vided. Effects processors are fed via SEND1 and SEND2, and the pro- cessed signals are returned via RTN1 and RTN2, respectively. Having internal effects processors means that you don’t have to purchase external units, effect patching is greatly simplified, and your audio data remains in the digital realm. -
Page 14: Promix 01 Secrets
Chapter 1: Welcome to ProMix 01 ProMix 01 Secrets The following points will help you take full advantage of ProMix 01. • Besides the DIGITAL REC OUT, inputs and outputs are analog. • The input channel INPUTs and STEREO OUT are balanced. All other inputs and outputs are unbalanced. -

Page 16: What You'll Need
Chapter 2: Getting Started What You’ll Need To perform the following tutorials, you need: • ProMix 01 • A sound source: CD player, drum machine, synth with demo song • An amplifier and speakers, or headphones • Audio connecting cables Basic Setup The following illustration shows how to set up a minimal system that will allow you to perform the following tutorials. -
Page 17: Making The Connections
Making the Connections Making the Connections Warning: Before making any connections, make sure that all your equipment is powered OFF. 1. Connect your sound source to input channel 9. It seems more logical to connect to input channel 1. But since inputs 1 through 8 use XLR-type connectors, and it’s doubtful whether you’re going to yell into a microphone for both tutorials, we’ll use input channel 9. - Page 18 Chapter 2: Getting Started ProMix 01 Getting Started Guide...

Chapter 3: Basic Mixing Tutorial Setting the Input Level Presuming that ProMix 01 is powered ON and your music source is running, let’s optimize the input signal level for best performance. 1. Press [METER]. The METER LCD function appears showing channel 9’s signal level. 2. -
Page 21: Applying Eq
Applying EQ Applying EQ Now we’ll apply a little EQ to channel 9. ProMix 01 EQ is 3-band fully parametric, with variable gain, frequency, and Q. Setting EQ Gain 1. Press [EQ LOW]. The EQ LCD function shown below appears. Initially, the LOW gain (G) parameter is selected. - Page 22 Chapter 3: Basic Mixing Tutorial Setting EQ Frequency 1. Press [MID]. The MID gain (G) parameter is selected. 2. Set the gain to –10dB. 3. Press [MID] again. The MID frequency (F) parameter is selected. 4. Use the PARAMETER wheel to sweep through the frequency range.
- Page 23 Applying EQ Setting the Q The MID band is a peaking type EQ. The LOW and HIGH bands are initially configured as shelving type EQs. However, they can also be configured as peaking EQs. 1. Press [EQ LOW] to select the LOW gain. 2.

Page 24: Using The Eq Library
Chapter 3: Basic Mixing Tutorial Using the EQ Library The EQ library is used to store EQ settings. It has 30 preset EQ pro- grams and 20 user EQ programs for you to store your own custom EQ settings. First we’ll look at recalling EQ programs, then how to store your own. - Page 25 Using the EQ Library Storing an EQ Program Now we’ll edit the EQ and store it in the library as a user EQ program. 1. Set the EQ parameters how you like. 2. Press [LIBRARY] to return to the LIBRARY LCD function. 3.

Page 26: Cue Lcd Function
Chapter 3: Basic Mixing Tutorial CUE LCD Function So far we’ve been monitoring channel 9 using the MIX CUE mode. In this mode, the channel selected using the [SEL] buttons is moni- tored. When the CUE LCD function is selected, however, operation is a little different, as we shall see. -
Page 27: Setting The Cue Mode
Setting the CUE Mode Setting the CUE Mode For the rest of this tutorial and the next, we’ll use the ST FIX CUE mode. In this mode, the MONITOR OUT and PHONES signals are the same as those of the main STEREO OUTPUT. 1. -
Page 28: Channel On/Off
Chapter 3: Basic Mixing Tutorial Channel ON/OFF The channel [ON] buttons are used to turn channels ON and OFF. This function is sometimes called MUTE. 1. Press channel 9’s [ON] button. The sound is cut and the [ON] button’s LED goes OFF. 2. -

Patching in a Compressor Patching in a Compressor ProMix 01 features three stereo dynamics processors, for compres- sion, limiting, gating and ducking. Here we’ll patch a compressor into the stereo output to add some punch. 1. Press [COMP]. The COMP LCD function shown below appears. 2. -
Page 34: Storing Mix Scenes
Chapter 4: Advanced Mixing Tutorial Storing Mix Scenes ProMix 01 scene memories allow you to store and recall all mix set- tings, collectively called a mix scene, with just one press of a button. Scene memory refers to the RAM memories in ProMix 01, while mix scene refers to the collective mix settings that are stored in a scene memory. -
Page 35: Recalling Mix Scenes
Recalling Mix Scenes Recalling Mix Scenes Now we’ll take a look at recalling mix scenes. Since you’ve stored only one mix scene so far, first we’ll recall mix scene 00 to reset all the mix settings, then recall mix scene #01 to return to our previous mix set- tings. -
Page 36: Where To Go From Here
Chapter 4: Advanced Mixing Tutorial Where to Go from Here? That’s the end of the tutorials. In the Basic Tutorial you leaned how to set input levels, apply EQ, use the EQ library, set CUE modes, set faders, use the [ON] buttons, and set the pan. You should now have a good understanding of ProMix 01’s basic mixing functions. -

Page 48: General Mix Procedure
Chapter 6: Mixing and Automation General Mix Procedure This section is for users who are relatively new to audio mixing. It pro- vides a general mix procedure for successful ProMix 01 mixing. • Reset all controls—this is simple on ProMix 01, just recall mix scene memory 00. - Page 49 General Mix Procedure • Balance levels—once you’ve optimized the input levels, applied some corrective EQ, and positioned instruments using pan, you’re ready to balance the levels. You should already have some idea of how you want the mix to sound. This will, obviously, depend on the application and the instruments being mixed.
- Page 50 Chapter 6: Mixing and Automation • Apply effects—this really depends on your application. In the studio, you’ll probably have time to experiment with effects. In a live situation, however, where the show must go on, you may not have time to experiment. At venues with irregular acoustic prop- erties you may spend all your time trying to make a bad sound sound good.

Page 51: What Is Promix 01 Automation
What is ProMix 01 Automation What is ProMix 01 Automation In conjunction with a MIDI sequencer or controlling computer, ProMix 01 provides total mix automation. MIDI Program Change messages are used to recall mix scenes, providing snapshot mix auto- mation. And MIDI Control Change messages are used to control vir- tually all mix parameters in real time, providing dynamic mix automation. -
Page 52: Mix Scenes & Automation
Chapter 6: Mixing and Automation Mix Scenes & Automation To recall mix scenes using a MIDI sequencer you need to: • Set the PROGRAM Tx and Rx parameters on the MIDI SETUP LCD function to ON. • Set the MIDI Tx and Rx Channels. ProMix 01 will now transmit a program Change message when the [RECALL] button is pressed. -
Page 53: Real-Time Automation
Real-Time Automation • When recalling a mix scene during a mix, try to choose a point when the parameters to be changed aren’t being used. For exam- ple, turn channels ON before the sound source starts, and turn them OFF when it has finished. Also try to adjust fader levels before a sound starts. -
Page 54: Operation Tips
Chapter 6: Mixing and Automation On your MIDI sequencer: • Set the MIDI THRU (or ECHO BACK) function to OFF. Other- wise, you’ll have a MIDI feedback loop. That is, MIDI data trans- mitted by ProMix 01 will pass through the sequencer and back to ProMix 01, which is not recommended. - Page 55 YAMAHA CORPORATION P.O.Box 1, Hamamatsu, Japan VS73120 IP 95 01 5000 AP Printed in Japan...
