| Learning to use a mixing board [message #221129] |

Our band has a Yamaha EMX 62M and an EMX 2000 and no one in the band
really knows how to use them properly. Any suggestions on good websites
I can visit to learn more about how to use the system we have?
Apparently the manual, if there was one, has been lost and all I have
is technical information, which doesn't do me much good. I need to know
how to use what we have to make us sound better - I'd be grateful for
any help.

Although I can't promise, the manuals are *PROBABLY* on the Yamaha website.
I got a couple of manuals (for a compressor and a mixing console) in pdf
format from there about a year or so ago. Neither of these particular pieces
of equipment were very recent but they still had the manuals on the site (or
they did when I went there) so you'll prob'ly luck out.
As I recall I had to hunt a round a bit, but they were there.
