Audio Theory: Balanced vs Unbalanced

In this video we are going to learn about the difference between balanced and unbalanced audio.
Unbalanced signal is typically used for line and instrument level audio; while balanced is used for mic level audio and some line level audio. The best rule of thumb is that short signal paths are often unbalanced, but longer paths are always balanced.
Unbalanced Audio is seen most often in consoles, signal processing units, small stereo systems and consumer audio equipment. On stage it's used in guitar and keyboard signal chains where shorter cable lengths are used.
Unbalanced cable consists of one positive lead, surrounded by a ground. The signal travels down the positive lead while the ground absorbs most interference.
Balanced audio is more applicable in professional studios or live venues where longer cable runs are required.
Balanced cables consist of a positive lead, a negative lead, and a ground. The positive and negative leads both carry audio. The negative carries the signal in opposite polarity to the positive lead. Both leads will pick up interference, but since the negative is opposite polarity of the positive, the interference is canceled out. The ground serves as extra protection from unwanted interference.
Balanced is more commonly used in professional applications for several reasons.
First, balanced cable can be run for longer lengths than unbalanced. the preferred cable length for unbalanced is only 10 ft, while the maximum cable length for balanced is 1000 ft.
Second, Balanced cable often has a cleaner signal as the interference is cancelled out.

When compressing the base we really don’t hear you talking about attack is how much, release , ratio , threshold etc unlike on drums you were mentioning
so can i record a practice an eq of the recording on the midas m32?
Tq sir
Thank you so much sir for your packaged information.
Thank you for the class!
This isn't electric guitar compression, it's farting on the signal. The compressor in that desk is extremely weak.
Straight to the point no fluff. Well done.
Need more still shots on settings screens Too much back and forth on you
This video should be more specifically titled "Downward Expansion"
i want my drum to be sound as sweet as possible tell me wat to do
I want you help me
Love you for making it easy
May just loosen the snare wires a little bit have the same effect as a compressor? ^^ Thanks a lot for the Video, i always like mostly natural stuff, greetz
I always though you were supposed to set your gain and then leave it. He’s mixing on the gain knobs. It’s going to effect the in ears monitors and drive the musicians crazy
THANK GOD FOR THIS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT VIDEOS!!!!!!!
I understand 😃😃😃 Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
What about using the expander setting?
A decent overview on how to EQ drums, but please... Learn proper gain staging. Set your preamps, then start moving your faders up to the levels you want. Not starting at unity and adjusting volume with the gain. That is backwards gain staging. Then set all your drum faders to a DCA group, so you can bring them in and out as a whole. Which will be even more accurate than eyeballing the sliders up to unity as well.
thanks
The input signal level should initially be around -18 dB. If this is not the case, then all further configuration is not correct. You need to build the input signal level at -18 dB, and only then raise the volume fader. And you do the opposite. Therefore, the compressor settings are too hard.
Thanks for this video!! No VSTs or Plug-in publicity. Mixing the loops. Showing the basics that sound great!
So I was looking for good content I could expand my knowledge on and checked out what AI would say, this is what it concluded: "Unfortunately, I am not aware of any free audio mixing master classes that are on the same level as the ones provided by Ellis Pro Media. Academy AV by Ellis Pro Media offers a comprehensive and professional training program that covers all aspects of audio production, mixing, and mastering. While there are some free resources available online that can help you improve your mixing and mastering skills, they may not provide the same level of in-depth knowledge and practical training as a comprehensive course like Academy AV."
You intro music is made up of Reason stock samples 😂. Been years since I heard those bad boys.
Hey bro,, I really appreciate your videos… I will say- U ARE THE FIRST OUT OF MANY MANY IVE WATCHED THAT IVE SEEN USE THE GAIN in the Dynamics/Compressor(at the 3:20min mark) please please explain why? I’m new to sound engineering and I’ve wondered what it is used for. I’ve attempted to use it kind of like a back up gain so that the MAIN gain doesn’t peak on each channel. Again, please explain. Thx 🙏🏼
Thank you so much sir for your packaged information
Who is viewing in 2023?
This is extremely helpful for me starting to mix worship. The drums at this church have only 3 mics (kick, snare, mono overhead) but your discussion of toms and fundamental freqs are great.
the graphics are just completely wrong in this smh my head
moving the key filter with the key filter off???? wierd
New sub here, just picked up an Xr18 and suspect these videos are going to be very useful.
Absolutely brilliant. No Fluff beginner friendly but by no means basic, if every tutorial was like this life would be so much easier.
Valo lage apner video thanks 😍 asob video debar jonno
Real shame no more videos have been added. God bless.
❤ hi dear sir one question 🙋 first using uq or compression or Gate sir
Is it a loop?
Thank gour
Also if the drummers a heavy hitter all of a sudden you get crazy annoying interference
Cue ball does drums!
You are the master of the bation class!
I wish all tutorials were like this one
Great tip, I now have a white power cable on my tesla coil and it sounds much more crisp
Great video! Thank you man!
Thanks for the video very informative now I have a new look on compressions it’s way more than keeping things from clipping
SHOW THE SCREEN MORE
So its possible to use balanced cables connected to a mic on the middle floor of the Buruj Khalifa while Audio engineer is operating the mixer in the ground floor or on the top terrace of the building...
I’ve got it in two channel but how can I make one of them make the dirty sound? Gain? Compress?
Now that sounds horible
HELLO MY NAME IS RICHARD AMPAH I WANT TO KNOW HoW TO MIX beAT pls
Great video.
