    I would be interested in hearing whether this video helps you understand mix-minus. Ray always does a good job with his videos.
    Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.

    It's one of the best Mix-Minus videos so far.

    I have read a number of articles regarding mix-minus and certainly have understood it in theory. However Mr. Ortega doing an actual demo of it, step by step, was extremely helpful. Thanks for posting this Moviebuff!!

I can hear the entire mix from the headphones but they hear nothing.

    I am using a PC connected to a Mackie 1402VLZ.
    Line out from PC to Mixer Channel 7/8
    Aux send dial on Channel 7/8 turned all the way to the left
    Aux 2 from Mixer into Mic input of PC
    Tape out from Mixer into Zoom 4Hn

    Using headphones on the Zoom 4Hn I can also hear the entire mix.

    But my Skype caller cannot hear me. Where is the gremlin?

    I appreciate your valuable time. Thanks!

    You have to turn UP the Aux Send 2 volume control for any audio that you want the Skype caller to hear, such as your microphone. If you're confused, put every Aux Send 2 at 11 o'clock EXCEPT Channel 7/8.

    The easiest way to see what is being sent to Skype is to go to Tools | Options | Audio Settings and monitor the meter on the microphone input. If the meter is not moving when you talk in to the microphone, the Skype caller cannot hear you. If you see the meter move when the Skype caller is talking, your mix-minus is not set up correctly.

    The YT vid helped me to understand the concept, but Mike's added comments really helped quite a bit to tie it all together. In fact, I just bookmarked this thread for good measure.

    I'm thinking about doing a Google Hangout to talk about mix minus. If anyone is interested, IM me your email address so that I can notify you when it happens. I may do it this weekend.
