Okay so there are two main elements on your mixer. They are the knobs and sliders. The knobs are called rotary pots and the sliders are called faders.

Locating the Mains

First, locate the fader labeled main or if you have a more complex board, there may be multiple faders labeled with some of these: delays, mains, left, right, center,subs. After you have located these fader(s) set all of them (but subs, if you have one) to the 0 or unity mark next to the fade track. Set the subs fader to -10, right below the 0 or unity.

Locating the inputs

Plug a microphone or other input into the back of the console or in an input that leads to a certain channel on the board. Unmute(light off) or turn on(light on) that channel with the button right over the fader track. Push the fader to -10 and have somebody talk into it and then you need to adjust the level until it is a comfortable level. Repeat for all inputs.

THIS IS VERY BASIC... THIS DOESN'T COVER ALL ASPECTS OF A MIXING BOARD
