Well considering I started out with no gear what so ever (just me, my mp3/4s player, and scores) before I joined said other dubious forums, then definitely! Anyway thanks for the help everyone And see you on stage

.

The singing forum is not very good! I only go the answered from one person who is no allways on there

I only tested the speakers for a breif moment with no sound from the mixer going though them when I got the screeching sound, but will experiment with it again using the high EQ knob. The video was NOT recorded using the speakers!

I had the head phones plugging into the phones socket on the mixer when I did the video **video removed, no longer serves a purpose**

Yes good advice thanks, but I need to keep reading it over and over again Easyer said then done (as I mentioned before) You see the mixer is all kind of set up really A sound engineer was telling me on a singing site before on another forum when I was using it for recording into my laptop As you can see in the diagram no. 18 is tape in which is an mp4 file being played from another laptop using a program called VLC media player, the volume for that input channel is controlled via the laptop its self before it enters the mixer no. 1 is mic in and I have balanced the with no. 3 gain with the no.8 level, bough are set at 5/8 turned counter clockwise no. 4 is the EQ and I have the high EQ turned up to full and the low EQ down right down no. 6 is the FX and to the right of the mixer 27 is the channel control and LCD to let you choice which patch you want. below in the link, it shows a list of all the channels/ patches available and I have selected channel 23 vocal plate reverb https://www.scribd.com/doc/190081638/Behringer-XENYX-1002FX-Effects no. 17 is the main volume and he said to set it to zero and use the LEDs on no. 25 as a guide to adjust your tape in/ mp3 against microphone, and when the maximum volume of the music goes above the zero or green LEDs marked as green and goes into the yellow turn it down by the channel no. 18 is for out and goes into my audio interface which goes into my other laptop which is recording its sound and video at the same time from a web cam. The plan is to record myself (as described above) and play music at the same time though my PA speakers, so I don't really want to drop the main volume on my mixer because I will loose recording volume, so would be best doing it all though the speakers if I can I will try and upload the video later to see if you think it needs any adjustments So that's it really, the mixer is all set up for good home recording, but just needs the volume set up on the speakers depending on the size of venue I gig

I have been practicing setting all my equipment up in my flat and packing it down again. One problem I noticed is when I had the 1/4" sockets plugged into my speakers from my mixer desk (nothing being played though it). When I switch the speakers on and turned the line knob up from the bottom "-00", one of the speaker started making a whistling noise and the other did not

Im finding it quite confusing what you are all saying! There are 3 volume control the knob on the speakers The LED screen on the speakers (which is set to zero db by default when you power it up) And the "main mix" leaver on my mixer (which I have had set to zero db for recording purposes) For live performance which one should I adjust for volume?

So you are saying set the knob to line and the db to zero and control the volume from the mixer right? I was hopping on booking into a rehearsal room and the guy giving me a bit of a hard setting it all up. But regarding hiring a sound engineer, how would I go about this? As it would have to be someone that has premises where the equipment can be set up and used. I don't know of any musicians that would help me do this (or that I get on with!) Yes but same with the mixer, the manuals are not very helpfull But this is different! Your saying use the knob on the back of the speaker to up or down the volume Dose a line signal mean it comes from my mixer desk? And microphone mean plugging say a shure SM58 into it? I know that microphones need amplifying first to be heard So your saying have the knob set to zero and the db set to zero and control the volume from the mixer?

Do I need to balance the "line" knob with the "leval" on LED screen set to 0db (as seen in photos)? Or which one do I turn up and down for volume?

I know the photos are quite blurry but if you zoom in on the knobs you can see -00, line, zero, mic, max

Woooweee the OP invested all this money just for a wind up and the purpose of trolling!! It cant be true, the photos must be fake right?

Again all clamps have been tightned But I have attached some photos of the stand How do you set the volume? are db supposed to be set at zero? what dose the line mena on the knob?

But what part of the menu/ settings it this referring to? Are you saying I should leave all the setting set to default? I'm not sure what the tone control is as I don't have that on my setting. Do you mean the Sub high pass filter? I recorded from my mixer and uploaded it online a while ago, someone said you need to turn the high EQ up and turn the low EQ down on your vocal channel. So that is what I did and it sounded better All bolts are tight and there is no free play from any of the clamps. With the speakers extended 6 feet from the ground they do wobble back and forth
