Gear I Love - Yamaha MG12XU

This is a new mini-series where I'm basically just talking about my fave pieces of budget gear, why I bought them, and how I use them. Today's video is about the roughly $400 awesome Yamaha MG12XU mixing board. If you want to purchase one, here's a convenient Amazon-affiliated link:

auctually PFL is only for setting the input level only its not for adjusting EQ

[@DivineMisterAdVentures]

This is really a good walk thru - a guy that has a lot of experience, but hasn't yet graduated to something else! A lot of valuable insights. THANKS!!

[@omgarahbriemedia]

This was really good and helpful! I just started a new AV job and they use these!

[@Toto.Reyes16]

This console is (besides my computer obviously) the most important and cherished piece of equipment i own

[@Ray-yt7mk]

It would be great to show us the beginners how to connect the things you say like the subs to control them separately from the master.

[@OgDj2024]

I have one! 👍🏾

[@tomhunter8312]

Nice video. I have an MG10 that will mount on a short Mic Stand with an adapter. Can the MG12 do that? Thanks

[@christauchner]

What is your experience with external/outboard effects and this mixer? I have a delicious Strymon Volante that I would like to use on several keyboards plus a vocal mic, definitely better than the built-in Yamaha delay options. I guess you would use one of the AUX SENDS, and then return to 9/10 or 11/12? Too bad there isn't a dedicated Stereo Return.

i just upgrade from the mg10xu to this MG12XU and this one rules .

[@sabproduction29cssb64]

Nice

[@samcornelius1114]

Hi what are the two small audio gears next to the Yamaha 12 mixer .. .. can you please name out

[@user-mx5we1li2l]

Is the MG12X the same and 5 times cheaper? MG12XU has addition USB port for PC interface.

[@Ray-yt7mk]

By the way I have the same mixer with 2 tops and 2 subs and a controller.

[@sergeimisenkov4049]

i have one for DJ gigs

[@ShadowmanRamirez]

how loud is this? can i use it to play a gig?

[@budgetguitaristcom]

It's not a powered board - you'd need to use it with powered speakers.

[@SUKUMAR_JHABUA]

you mentioned that mid frequency is not provided..and you also indicate that it might be a budget issue... you should think about the soul music.. this frequency is belongs to vocal.. making one's vocals ...strength.. so its mid frequency knob is not provided in the machine.in said channels. b because these channels r designed for stereo sound or instruments... purposes..

[@budgetguitaristcom]

I'm sure Yamaha would say the non-mid channels are for stereo instruments... but when you run out of regular channels and use the non-mid channels, there are times you definitely miss the mid knob.
