Best Home Studio Mixer / Yamaha Mixer MG12XU Unboxing, Sound Test and Review

[@LoKnows]

I am seriously loving this mixer. I feel so confident knowing im going to sound great with very little noise in my signal. Tell me what you are using or if you have this mixer give a shout out!

[@SamNesan-k2r]

I am having Yamaha MG 12XU USB version with Yamaha PSR S950 and Shure mic for recording gospel song with CUBE BASE LE 9 and I am trying to use the software to record it where I am struggling a bit to do recording, if you can do the demo recording show with your Yamaha Mixer that how to use Cube Base for recording that will be so helpful Thank you God bless you Anton

Can you output the main audio from both the XLR and TRS jacks?

[@LoKnows]

There is an XLR out in the top right corner for speakers or output if you like

[@TheHomeloanking]

[@edrock26]

This is the best video about this mixer series! I have learned more from your 15 minute video than I have in the last 15+ years of owning these mixers. Thank You!!!

[@ForeGoneProduction]

I'd like to point out, that the "ST"-Button is for "Stereo". That means, that the line, on which the ST-button has been pressed, routes to the regular "Stereo Out". The "1-2"-button is for putting the signal on that line to the "Group 1-2" line out. Please make sure you read the manual before you review it. :) It even says so (also it's color coded...)

[@LoKnows]

ForeGoneProduction thanks man appreciate it. I missed that the first time around when I first go it. Honest mistake.

[@ForeGoneProduction]

Though, nice little review there. :) Thanks!

[@mksteezy]

If i use the USB out, does that apply to the Group 1-2 also? or just the Stereo mix?

[@joshuaanarfi7786]

same I was gonna also point that out

[@AdventSeph]

Hey, real quick, can you route the same line to both the ST and 1-2 outputs at the same time? (i.e. would it be possible to run mic audio to both at the same time?)

[@lovesafrica111]

You did a GREAT job on this video!!! I literally knew NOTHING about mixers, but after sitting for the last 2 hours & taking notes on literally everything you said, I now have a clear picture of how all the potentiometers (knobs) work & feel comfortable purchasing this product for my husband.

I clicked your video to find out what this mixer thing actually does, because I was totally clueless. By the time I was done with your video I wanted to buy one, not sure what for, but I wanted to own one none the less. Great video, thanks for taking the time to show what this magical thing can really do.

[@bearpitrock]

Thanks for the video. Most mixers like this only do 2 channels in and 2 channels out via USB. It's a limitation of the mixer.

[@Shaker4x4]

Just bought this model MG12XU. The centrepiece of a children's band as they grow up being educated with familiar and reliable gear. Will use Apple Garage Band / audio via the mixer's USB, Rode M2 x 2 and M5 x 2 microphones plus keyboard, electric-acoustic guitar, recorders and purcussion instruments. Already using nine channels just with that, with room to expand.

[@Deraco1]

Other than the ST button which was already answered on what it is. There is also a 1-2 button. This assignment button routes the channel to the fader to the left of master. Which should also be laleled 1-2. This is called a sub master. Sort of "Grouping" So you can group multipule inputs into one fader without taking the master fader down.. The submaster also has a stereo asignment button which would of course route the submaster to the master output fader Hope this helps Great video! PS. Dont leave ST and 1-2 assignment buttons engaged at the sametime on one channel, it will essentially double the volume going to the outputs

[@LoKnows]

Deraco1 dude thank you so much for the explanation

[@mksteezy]

If i use the USB out, does that apply to the Group 1-2 also? or just the Stereo mix?

[@peterrief01]

Thanks for the video ! I bought the very same Yamaha mixer a couple of years ago as a backup to my VERY old Yamaha mixer....so the new one got very little use. However...your excellent video answered lots of questions that I had so I am eager to try working with this board again.

When he said "ST" stands for "Stand by or Safe Safe" I almost clicked off the video..lol. He saved it with the whole review being great though. SUBBED !

[@nefdsnet]

Same... a room full of audio tools and no basics. Also the expectation of separate USB channels for a stereo in/out device.

[@Millennial_Mike]

I use the exact same Behringer mixer for live solo acpustic gigs. I absolutely love it. Originally bought it thinking I'll upgrade... 2 years later still amazing. I'm interested in this Yamaha... but only if it features the samne kind of delay / reverb effects

[@louprimo6062]

The mixer has two outputs ST and 1/2. The bottoms allow you to put let’s say all the vocals in ST so now the ST fader controller all the vocal channels then put all the other inputs in 1-2 and volume fader 1-2 will control all those other inputs. So now have separate volume control for vocals and for everything else. Lower the ST fader will lower all the mics together. Lower the 1-2 fader and it will lower very thing else but the vocals. Used more for live performances and blending. Hope that helps. Great mixer.

[@jeromemckenna7102]

I'm thinking of buying the next model down and this is so similar that you've answered most of my questions.

[@LoKnows]

Jerome Mc Kenna awesome, glad I could help

[@riesefelix658]

st stands for stereo, so that you wand to send that input to the stereo output or mix

[@mgtow-extraits]

it’s nice that you showed the noise floor. i wish you did that without anything on and with the audacity meter showing down even more so we can get an actual number out of it.

[@LoKnows]

the noise floor is really quite, i was surprised that the meter didn't even bounce for me when i wasn't talking

[@mgtow-extraits]

Lo Knows, Sort Of > in audacity default meter is at -60db, you have to go in preferences and set it for at least -92db: that’s when noise floor will start to show. « quiet » is subjective, but showing us the actual self-noise number is objective result that can be compared to other gear.

[@remindmusicofficial]

How can I record all channels to a daw? I have the same mixer, and i can only record 2 channels via usb, and I ned to record like 5 at the same time! maybe changing the cables connection? please help

[@gabrielbusnot4488]

A one knob compression actually doesn't "raise the low volumes". It is more accurate to say that it lowers the higher ones and then raises the whole compressed signal to make it the same than before compression, on average. The original goal of a compressor is not that much to allow you to speak far from the mic, even if it can be used that way in the end. But nice review :)

[@sungyulkim]

It is 2track usb audio interface which means only limited two tracks are simulteously recordable to work with computer software. Not the limitation of the software.

[@ridimoheneba3168]

I am a novice and I still don't get the process... Which cable is used to connect it to the computer?

[@LoKnows]

It’s super simple. You use the USB cord that connects from the mixer to the PC. Whatever you connect to the mixer will now go to your PC. Easy!

[@katalinamafi1849]

Thank you for sharing this, its helped me learn how to use my mixer properly. I like that you not only talk about it but you demonstrate it.

[@ilmereu]

Does anybody knows if it's possible to send a click track to separate output from a daw by using this mixer (a part the 1/2stereo)? I had experience with mg10xu and from Ableton I was unable to send sound to a separate output. Thanks

[@JG6869USA1]

No matter how many inputs you have going into the mixer, they will all come out as 2 tracks into your computer DAW software. Those tracks will be in time with each other. If you record those 2 tracks, then record another track on top of that, you will have latency. The 3rd track will need to be edited in your DAW and moved to sync up to the first 2 tracks.

[@nunyobidnezz707]

Thank you for this video! I have been considering this mixer for awhile and doring my research. So far this has been the most helpful video for me!

I am looking for some in budget mixer by which I’ll be able to control my DAW’s on screen mixer. Which one should I go for?

[@timothystubs4629]

I use this mixer and the USB out is only recording the STereo mains left & right. Not Mic 1&2. I know that there is no info on if it does multitrack recording which means all inputs and STereo mains left and right can be recorded on individual channels in the DAW (recording software) at the same time. ST means stereo.

[@OnlineMD]

Am writing this comment June 2020. This mixer has USB out, and umpteen inputs. However, when you connect to a computer, you will be DISMAYED when you find that you only get either 2 mono tracks or ONE stereo track on your computer. Look at the specs on this PDF right from Yamaha, below. The state of the art now IS NOT A MIXER LIKE THIS ONE. It is so wonderful to have at least 4 input tracks on your computer, and be sure to get those specifications. Last month I got a Mackie mixer, ProFX6V3. 6 inputs, but only two tracks on to the computer. Very nice mixer, great mic preamps. So to record karaoke, I have to record one stereo track on to the computer, then create a second track, and record my vocals on that track. Whereas with a USB 4 input 4 output interface like a Scarlett 4i4 or Motu M4, I can record 2 people singing, plus two more inputs for either ONE STEREO recording or two instruments like drums or guitar. Here's Yamaha's specs: Only 2 tracks in and 2 out on USB: By the way, what's the use of USB outs? Glad you asked! It is for real live auditioning of what exactly is being recorded on the computer! It is just awesome! USB is going in, and instantaneously from the USB out, you listen with your headphones or monitor. usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/7/330987/mg12xu_en_ts_e0.pdf

[@madness8556]

From what I understand, this mixer, like most cheaper to mid range mixers has a 2x2 usb interface. Therefore, you'll only have a stereo mix output and 2 inputs which can be recorded at once? I do stand corrected?

[@TerminatorSAW2k]

[@setsailsparrow9063]

[@EricRyanSound]

The reason the MG is so great for home studios (Logic Pro X) and Streaming is it gives you multiple inputs, built-in live effects, on board compressor, on board pre-amp, and precise dialing in. I can be used for streaming, recording and LIVE!

[@didssoundofficial]

I am using logic pro x..should i install yamaha mg xu driver...?

[@btvcast]

Just got the analog one for myself switching from beringher. Fun vid man. Subbed.

[@ElBlancoPapi]

I started building my new studio not long ago and needed/wanted a board. I came REALLY close to buying one of these Yamaha mixers....they are supposedly quite decent for their price class. It was between a Yamaha MG12xu, a 12-channel Presonus StudioLive, or a Soundcraft mtk12. Was gonna go for an Allen & Heath, but sadly it didn't do what I needed. While the Yamaha does record to daw via usb, it Only allows you to record/playback a 2-channel stereo track.... the Presonus I believe actually does allow you to record/playback multitracks or just a 2-track stereo track to onboard SD card. None of them allowed multitrack recording/playback/overdub etc....except the Soundcraft!! I LOVE the Soundcraft and there is NOT one single mixer in its class or price range that can compete!!! If you want a board of good quality that allows multitrack recording to your daw, get a Soundcraft!!

[@gregwilliams2764]

I have a Roland drum module. Where do I plug that in the board?

[@andrewreynolds2647]

The on off switches are really a great idea for live and studio recording, you don't have to hunt around for a mute especially when using multiple mic inputs. the issue on recording four inputs i believe is a fault of the software try reaper you will be surprised. great vid i thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@SasamiRari]

Andrew Reynolds got a full name on the reaper software? I also have this mixer and would love to make full use of it.

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Hi Bud, the one to get is the reaper latest version which is version 5.974 last updated on april 6th check the version you need i.e. mac, windows or linux. This daw is so easy to install and great to use very intuitive and with many drop down menus to help you out, all versions of reaper are complete and fully functioning and come with a ton of vsts, i will never go back to pro tools or any of the other overly expensive corporatist offerings all i want is a good sound flexibility and adaptability reaper has all this, the reaper team let you evaluate it and if you love just pay them $60.00 and then you can register your version with them, even if you are not registered you can update to the newest one free with no hassle , the download is automatic and it keeps all your work flow vsts media intact just like the version you had before. it is superb, hope you enjoy it as much as i do. cheers. Andy. Scotland.

[@PROJECTamateur]

In 9:28 : Devices-> VST connections -> on the input tab, press the button "add bus", select 2 mono inputs and assign them to the other outputs of your Yamaha mixer. I think it has 4 mono outputs and 1 stereo out(the main mix). let me know if I'm wrong. So in this inputs tab of Cubase, you should normally have 4 mono ins (the 4 mic/line direct outs from your mixer) + one stereo input,from the main stereo of your mixer.Total of 6 inputs. Can you check it for me please?

[@juiceworldeuc]

Is there a headphone jack for monitoring and gaming? Listening to oneself.

[@izziOnBass]

I bought Behringer 2222FX mixer. Realized that the LED bulp voltage signal is captured by the main mix out. When the LEDs are blinking (levels) I could hear some clicks. I returned the mixer to the agent and we checked in more advance versions of Behringer, and found the same defect. Simply the LED voltage is leaking to the audio signal processing board. Then I went for Soundcraft. I lost my trust on Behringer even though I have quite a bit of Behringer equipment (MDX 4600, Ultragain 100, DI20 box, UMC 404 sound card)

[@thewatcher611]

#1, you were using an "old" Behringer...they had terrible preamps back then. Yamaha does pretty well in clean, high headroom. #2, "ST" button is to send this channel to the "STEREO" mix. the 1-2 Button will send the channel to the "GROUP 1-2".... gives you some options for recording/live mixing options. Maybe you are playing something you don't want to really record, like a backing track.... for live mixing, same thing, you can send a couple channels to the "Group" fader, and just control them live with that, say all the vocals, or all the instruments. #3...I'm really glad you played with the gain, EQ, and compression, and used that recording on KZbin, great job! I think Yamaha does really well with the single knob compressor. Thanks, good review!

[@LoKnows]

Dude, thanks for the info!!! I will put this practice

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Old school USA built Mackie CR-1604’s here .. two of em. Back when I got my first in 1992, big studios here in Los Angeles would use them to sub mix keyboards into big Neve and SSL consoles, they were used quite a bit by TV guys, as well as film composers. You can pick em up cheap nowadays on Reverb or eBay .. but they were pretty inexpensive new back in the day as well.

[@joelonsdale]

I would say that this is primarily a live mixing desk, for mixing a live band, or more likely, for the live band to mix themselves. A Podcaster or home music maker doesn't really need so much functionality and it just adds up to 'too complex' as the reviewer notices when just trying to get sound out! Things like the ST button or the mute button on the main stereo out fader - perfect for a band, but just another layer of complexity for a podcaster or home music maker. It's a stereo-out only USB interface meaning that once you have mixed your bands levels, you can hit record and capture a stereo recording of the entire thing. It won't give you separate outputs for each microphone as it only has 2 analogue to digital converters inside - one for the left channel and one for the right. Nothing to do with the software and, frankly, not a massively useful feature. A live desk mix of a band is rarely much more than a curiosity as it isn't balanced for recording, only for the live performance. A Podcaster probably just needs an audio interface with a couple of microphone inputs. You can do compression and FX in the recording software (even Audacity) much more effectively and safely. Fun review, but no real understanding of how and why the desk works and I get the distinct impression that the reviewer only really needs a simple £200 audio interface, not a £600 mixing desk.

[@akashagrawal94]

I cant seem to get this working with FL Studio. Someone plz help

[@chrissullivan1673]

This series of mixers, and many similar mixers by other manufactures, only do stereo out through the USB. It's not a function of the DAW software or the driver. You really have to get into much more expensive USB or Firewire mixers to support more than two channels. I have the 16 channel version of this mixer, and there is also a 20 channel version. None of them support more than two channels. That's simply how they are built. Also, the sound is attenuated before going to the A/D converter for USB output. Meaning, it's a quieter signal than what you would get via your basic analog stereo outs. According to a Yamaha support engineer, who I talked to on the phone, he said this is done on purpose, so the signal does not clip going into your DAW. Yours has routing to one group out (1-2), and the master stereo channel (ST). Mine has two group outs (1-2 and 3-4), and 4 aux sends (3 plus the effects send.) I'm exploring the idea of using some of these outputs sort of like direct outs (the ideal kind of output to go to a multi-channel interface, imo.) But that means I loose a few aux outs, which I want to use for mix-minuses for things like Skype calls. While I can't manage as many "direct outs" as I would like, I can probably get a few to work. I haven't done this yet, as I only have a 2 channel interface (Focusrite 2i4) for my PC. My future plans are a mixer with 8 actual direct outs, and an interface with that many inputs. Six will probably be enough for most uses, so I'll have a few to spare. (My future setup would then handle 4 in-studio mics, a stereo input for sound clips and music, and several more inputs sent back out aux sends, as well as the direct outs, for Skype or phone calls.) While I would like to have that future setup now, I'm going to make this work with what I have. I originally did not want to do mult-track recording and a lot of post production. I was basically planning on going "live to drive." Now I'm leaning more toward multi-tracking at this point, at least for certain purposes. I'm not doing music recording, just podcasting. But eventually I want to have a setup for music recording as well, so I think I'll make good use of those future investments. Btw, I enjoy your videos. I just started watching recently. Thanks for making them!

[@chrissullivan1673]

Or, I may go all out and get a higher end mixer that will send multiple tracks out digitally. That would most likely be an all digital mixer. But I really like analog mixers, so the configuration I described above is still my preference. I will have to see when the time comes.

[@LoKnows]

Awesome info man, thanks! Whats really disappointing is that my zoom H6 can record 4 tracks individually but this cant, but like you said, its just the way they are made. Either way, im still loving it. Thanks for the info Chris!

I have a question regarding speaker feedback from my voiceover microphone: I purchased the MG 10XU and was able to hook up my powered monitors (which workfine either using the monitor outs or the stereo outs equally well). The audio coming in from the computer through the USB was flawless. The issue I have is feedback through the speakers when trying to record. My former mixer (another USB mixer made by Alesis) has a feature called "Auxiliary Sends" which allows me to keep the main microphone level knob down to zero and I use the AUX SEND knob to feed a line output to my computer (unfortunately the USB [OUTPUT] on this mixer doesn't work no matter what I do). So, with the Alesis using the Aux Send, I can record even at a high gain with no feedback whatsoever through the speakers... and then, I can immediately play back anything and without having to press any buttons or turning knobs (yet, with playback, everything coming through the speakers, gloriously. (If I try turning up the level knob in the lower left, I get of course the feedback, but with the Alesis, I can leave it at zero). Now, with the Yamaha, there are no Aux Sends anywhere on the board - is this why I am not able to record without the feedback (unless I mute the audio out every time)? In any event, I got the Alesis hobbling along again and the sound is decent, so I'm living with that (the downside being I am running analog and using the soundcard, rather than using USB interface which is what I wanted to do with the Yamaha). The reason I'm reaching out with this comment is, I'm wondering if there is a workaround to mute those speaker outputs while not having to adjust anything every time I go to record (which is very often as a voiceover artist doing auditions all day long). Or is this mixer just not designed that way? Thanks in advance!

How many keyboards/synthesizers can you connect to the MG12XU?

Hello, I have bose s1 pro, microphone and this mixer. Do you know how to play youtube from tv using this mixer? Thank you

[@bhargavjamvecha9818]

hi there. I have 2 questions regarding this mixer...MY 1st question is does it records all the channel separately, I mean all 10 or 12 channel individually in DAW and 2nd question is does onboard effects works in recording or just for analog output?? for example ,if I have selected one of reverb and put it on 1st channel mic, does the software record the mic with effects or without effects over usb??

[@scourneene]

Did you find the answer to your questions? If so what mixer/interface did you go with? Thanks

[@bhargavjamvecha9818]

Hi do you have another video on how to connect everything with the M-box and how to connect with Pro tools

[@DynoSauR4Truth]

I don't see any downloads for the MG10XU mixer in the Firmware and Software downloads section. I do see the Steinberg driver for Apple though. I am a bit miffed about buying this mixer though since I thought I'd be able to plug my USB Blue Yeti microphone into the USB mixer and it work flawlessly. The USB is only meant to hook into your computer and at this point I don't know why that's a big deal. Now it looks like I may have to buy a XLR mic to work with this mixer.

Hi, I am planning to buy yamaha mixture... but I am little bit confused to choose.. please help.. which one is the below I need for recording and mixing Yamaha MG12 12-Input 4 Bus Mixer Or Yamaha MG12XU 12-Channel (6 XLR + 3 Stereo + Effects + USB) Analog Mixer Which is one best for me?

[@LoKnows]

I would say the effects aren’t necessary but the option for USB to connect to your PC or Mac and interface it with your choice of audio editing program or as a sound card itself will be very useful!!

[@jjmusicals3985]

@@LoKnows Thank You for the reply. So I can go for MG12 12-Input 4 bus mixer right?

What is the name of the USB cable that connects the MG10 to the computer. My mixer came without a USB cable too.

[@TheBabypod]

I don't understand what the computer/USB connection is used for. What would you be getting through the computer? I figured you plug in your microphones and instruments into the mixer and then just do the XLR cable out to my powered speaker. What use the computer for? Thanks, I'm a neophyte on this stuff. I got this mixer on order to hook up to two Harbinger Vari 2212 powered speakers i just ordered. I intend you use for me and my wife to do little duo gigs at nursing homes/55+ communities, and such.

[@ArtisBright]

does it work without an external sound card? does it work if we connect this mixer to computer directly?

[@AusarKiti]

Yes

[@ChaseMusic87]

Whats the difference from the mg12x?

[@OgDj2024]

Great review! 👍🏾 WOW, it came with 4 XLR cables!? What kind of bundle is that? Also, that kind of sucks it doesn’t come with a USB cable. 🤨 Question? I have a Yamaha MG 166cx. For some reason, when I plug microphones in, they are always on. And it doesn’t matter if I push the on off button, the microphone stays on. But, I can turn the sound off with the PFL button. Also, the faders don’t turn the volume up or down, I can only control the volume with the master. Do you know what this means? 🤔

how to connect output to facebook live using this yamaha MG12XU mixer

[@lovesafrica111]

Lo Knows, please forgive this question, if it's redundant, but this is a brand new world for me & I thought I understood until I began reading the comments below. My husband needs to be able to record songs from his djembe, his mbira & congas, as well as singing & then be able to mix them together, in addition to using the effects, and now it seems the Yamaha MG 12XU, is not the right equipment for this. Can you please confirm? I'm thinking we will need something like the Focusright Scarlett 18i20 (2nd gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools mentioned below? Also, please recommend a mic as well? Thanks very much & I really loved your video...Maybe you could make one for the Focusright as well? Best. Kerrie
