Seriously the best channel for Audio mixers and Equipment on the internet. Thank you.👍

[@dpfeiferjr]

Would be awesome to see an explanation of this with the Tascam model 12 mixer.. They use PFL/AFL and SOLO in kind of a funky way -- they incorporate it into AUX 1 & 2 and the FX and it makes my head spin to be honest.... I would pay money for that breakdown Thanks for great videos!!!!

[@todosan375]

Definitely one of the best vids on this subject. You really understand the subject

[@marvelguy8101]

These videos are so helpful. Thank you so much. Truly appreciate it.

[@Dugzy1117]

Thank you! This really helped me understand PFL for my studies as an audio engineer!

[@ZagaZii]

Great explanation. 🎉

[@CMFSD]

Thanks, I video a concert and the soundboard tech I think set it to PFL bc the Artist manager is asking to louder and he said the meter gauge is coming up red already, so I think he should use AFL so not to be too bother by not too loud enough sounds

[@MintaCreativeArts]

Thank you so much for making these informative videos, I have struggled over time to get clear information on practical applications and how to use them in different scenarios

[@johnnybeats777]

Hi, great review also got a question, what in Your opinion would be the best mixer for begginer in analog world with the features needed for music production. Thanks

[@mikey5985]

As a dj I always thought of it as "pre-fader listen", sort of like cue, although "pre fader level" makes more sense lol. Anyways this is a dope video, keep it up bro.

[@kerasiotiskos]

Actually it's pretty fader listen as you can hear the Chanel through the headphones also

[@TheDurbster]

Thank you for the information! Fantastic as always

[@Pete7Davies]

Great content, love your videos. I'm a real novice with all this stuff, and I'm thinking of buying this particular mixer. I want it to go through my Focusrite 6i6 into my macbook pro, so that I can sing live on social media with some nice reverb. I'd love it if you could maybe do a video to explain the best way to put all that together please.

[@turkmusik]

Thanks for this! I'm running this unit into an AER 60. The sound is incredibly loud with just a little bit of volume. I'm not complaining. But how do you set it up for better output sound given that you can adjust volume on the AER, the gain, the faders, and the stereo mix?

[@buscini73]

Excellent Tutorial, very clear, straight forward, and easy to understand!.Thank you very much. I do have one question, though: I have a Yamaha MG12XU, when I want to send a Signal to Aux2, I have to use the the white knob which also is used for sending the effect signal. Whenever I send a signal to AUX2, it automatically increases the effect signal to stereo out at the same time. Is there a way to seperate these two functions in order to just send a signal to AUX2 without increasing the effect? I tried to google about this, but didn't find anything about it. ..

[@JoArq]

I have learned so much from your videos...thank you so much for making things clearer for me.

[@kettnercreative]

You are so welcome!

[@FallFactor]

Hello, I have a yamaha MG12XU almost the same as you. I watched the entire video, but didnt find a solution to my issue, my bad if I missed it I tend to space out. When using the phones out I get no sound unless I am using the PFL button, is this normal product behaviour? Im outputting the sound through the 11/12 USB in track, I do have normal audio if PFL is enabled, but if disabled there is only the reverb I can hear or the 100hz boost pre fader changing the audio. I was able to change volume of the USB with my fader before when I was using the output to monitors, so is this just a phones issue?

[@FallFactor]

I just re-watched it and I do think I missed it, there was a sneaky track I wasnt using that had PFL enabled. Thanks 1:38

[@stephenjones8156]

How does the PFL operate in relation to the USB output? There are instances where I'll have a turntable connected to a mixer & don't want the noise of cueing up the track in the main mix.

[@paulhatwellmusic8571]

Would I turn the pfl button off before I bring the fader up to unity? Also, I have my foldback plugged into my phones jack on the Yamaha mixer (solo musician). If I use my pfl to set the channels will I not be able to change the mix in my foldback during my show?

[@Luchodela]

Great video and thank you for all your other videos! So this mixer doesn't allow you to listen AFL to selected channels right? I was comparing this with the A&H ZED60-10Fx that have a "Listen button" (I believe is AFL) and a knob for the general PFL / AFL blend.

[@chiselcheswick5673]

Really excellent explanation. Thanks for this. 👍👍

[@benjamintbaia4199]

❤❤❤ helpful indeed

[@teddroessler8566]

Do you leave the pfl engaged during live performance?

[@kowboys1180]

Very useful video, thank you.

[@benardkiilu414]

Meaning of pfl

[@colinhebditch5324]

Hi Just wanted to ask why when I set up the levels on the pfl and set fader to unity . I then slide the red master up and it feedbacks badly and cannot get master fader to reach 0 . can you help ? Thanks Colin

[@shreyashpatel1588]

Make sure you are using speaker cable and not instrument/patch cable also volume on your speakers itself might be set too high. Start with 11 o'clock. Hope this helps

[@nunomiguelgomes2713]

Hi Jordan. Been watching your channel for a year now, since I bought a Yamaha mg10uxf and a Yamaha Ag06. I want to buy a loop station for a long time and the one that I’m considering is the boss rc-500 because I play the guitar and sing live. But today one problem arose: how am I going to set up the pedal to the mixing desk? Watched a video featuring the mg12-ux that has the group 1-2 channel (most likely a send and return feature but with a different name) but the mg10-ux just has a fx-return jack connection. The goal would be to loop both instruments after the sound processor. Any ideas? Thank you for awesome videos man.

[@antmharris]

Can you do a video on how to use this mixer with a DJ setup?

[@FANKANable]

YES SO MUCH CONTENT

[@kettnercreative]

[@lenmclen188]

Hi Sir ,i would like to ask about the ROLAND GO MIXER "center cancel on & off " ...my question is there any USB MIXER that can function as roland go mixer CENTER CANCEL ON & OFF" ?

[@nuesenpil]

Can you teach me, my mixer is new, i cant make the effects sound.. i dont know if its busted or i just dont know how to make the effects produce sound on the mic...

[@lanexang8127]

[@rickdeaguiar-musicreflecti7692]

Another wonderful tutorial. Thank you :)

[@kettnercreative]

You are so welcome!

[@ukaszandrzejczyk6774]

Dope Content, Keep going (:

[@kettnercreative]

Appreciate it

[@Ifinallyvanquishedfinder]

The X1204 USB has solo and PFL

[@riantsaqib]

I experienced trouble when setting the gain in the mixer without the PFL button and only two main LED meter indicator lights were available, namely 'Signal' and 'Peak' only. Whereas in the channel strip there is only a 'peak' lamp, which is related to the knob gain on the channel itself. Are there good instructions sir?

[@Dunkydoo716]

On this exact board does it switch to “AFL” from “PFL” if the button is not selected and popped out? That’s where I’m confused

[@sallehahmad8742]

If we play music indicators light level up, but when we speak using mic, the indicator light not on, or run, up, n, down, what the problem.

[@mshl114]

Should the pfl button be always on? I've talked with my engineer but he's stubborn that all the tracks' pfl should be on.

[@maccalhoun4764]

Thanks man!

[@chrisbyers4005]

So why am I not getting a full mix from my headphone jack? I have this exact mixer and I dont get any volume until I use pfl.

[@justinrobbins7026]

Thank you!

[@bornfreelivefree3674]

Thank you

[@wilsongyimah8290]

Is it safe to leave the PFL button on without turning it off?

[@trendythabang3198]

I wanna know the real function of the low cut button in an cross over

[@AderegLover-sr9wb]

Halu sir is pfl button in solo button same use

[@kettnercreative]

The PFL can work as a solo button, yes.

[@AderegLover-sr9wb]

@@kettnercreative k tankz a lot sir

[@emmanuelnarhsewu7126]

What does all do?

[@patsyrussell5039]

Do I switch off PFL when I have it set

[@HarleyBob957]

Yes

[@Binatone704]

Question: Suppose "Live" show is going on,How can i Get OUTPUT FROM MIXER TO A DSLR &does AFL&PFL affect the audio Quality. & If i switched on AFL&PFL BOTH at the same time while recording does it Affect the quality of the sound.please tell

[@kettnercreative]

AFL+PFL have no effect on quality.

[@rbhughes538]

Mackie ProFX has PFL Solo button. How does that work?

[@kettnercreative]

I haven't played with it specifically, but I would imagine that it performs like the PFL demonstrated in this video.

[@gourabshow3993]

👍

[@fletcherfarrarii5803]

So AFL and PFL only affect the sound coming from the headphones?

[@ega0117]

Can you control the volume of the PFL sound???

[@wannesfey]

Ljj

[@manalorp]

First

[@kettnercreative]

Classic.

[@i.syntaxerror]

sorry, but this is so lamer's video. You didn't show how PFL is working in real situation including effects section. Basically you killed an opportunity for one great epoxide about this superb mixer or... lack of knowledge. So sorry but something like this should not to be happened. Shame really..

[@kettnercreative]

It's a real shame.

[@kinogordon3294]

Thank you Sir🤩
