[@kettnercreative]

Thanks, will do!

[@kry3634]

Hey Jordan, I love your videos man! Thank you so much for being so helpful to all of us looking to improve our audio set ups! Could you please do a review of the dbx 286s? And explain how to connect it to a PC through audio interface, preamp bypass and so on? Keep up the good work man. Your channel is great, and the production value is amazing. I'm so excited to see what video you'll release next!

[@kylebuhrer]

Thank you for all of your videos!! Is it possible to do a video where you show an example of what the monitor sounds like with pre-fade on? This would help me and maybe others hear the differences and what a backup singer, for example, would hear in their monitor. Thank you so much for your videos! They are super helpful, and you are truly helping people become better musicians, sound engineers and more!!!

[@AlexC80]

Great lesson! Thank you.

[@djrickygaz]

Thank you for these videos you’re doing a great job! Is there anyway you can do a video on testing cables to check if they’re faulty or not and how to repair if needed please?

[@kylebuhrer]

I like that video idea too! Maybe in that video request, you can talk about cables (XLR, quarter inch, etc.) that you like and that function the best!

[@astasuleo]

amazing video. I bought the MG12XU and videos from your channel becomes really helpful. I wish you could make a review of the BP40 mic from audio techinca one day.

[@manadnathawatvyas3117]

CAN YOU HELP PLEASE ! Hello, I have a Yamaha MG10xu mixer.... I usually use it for live musical sessions. This time I decided to use the usb function and connected it to my laptop. I installed the latest driver and use the xu interface in Cubase. When I started recording the waves generated but there was no playback sound to monitor the audio... I checked the output settings it says output xu1 and xu2 .... And my speakers are connected in Monitor Out of the mixer.... CAN YOU HELP PLEASE !

[@reecechin4965]

Hey Jordan, thanks so much for providing so much value in relation to the Yamaha mg10xu. I have been having some noise issues via zoom, it seems to be a crackling/high-frequency buzzing sound. The noise is cyclical pattern (every 10 minutes or so). I would really love to hear what you think as I’m pretty stuck on what it could be. Thank you in advance

[@FANKANable]

I am once again asking for your support in making a comprehensive video on the mackie profx12v3!

[@kettnercreative]

Ahah! It’s coming. We kind of got slowed down with a bit of a heat wave. The studio is 35 degrees celsius right now. Soon

[@ankoor2812]

Hi could you do a video for how can I get the output sound from mac for live streaming for music , I have a macbook air m1 n a dj controller but I can't figure out how I can get the output from the mac to obs for live streaming . Do you need an audio interface or any software for getting the out . It would be great if you could help . Thanks .

[@peanutaddiction8019]

Great content! I’ve learned a lot from you so thank you! This question doesn’t relate to this video but I figured I would get an answer faster on your newest upload. I have the ssl2+, a Shure SM7B, and a CL1. Is the ssl2+ powerful enough to run 2 SM7B’s?? I will be getting another cloud lifter.

[@vinodbasu6628]

Hey Jordan, would you please explain fx and aux 2 setting? I want my vocalist to have echo in his voice but not guitarist. If I turn fx to zero, there is no guitar sound coming out of monitor connected in aux 2. Is there a way to overpass this in yamaha mx 12 xu?

[@sogent56]

Can you feed this to a foh mixer??

[@FYouMoney]

On a Yamaha MG12XU, is it possible to have a mix minus going on Aux1 and still send FX to that Aux1 send output? Because the channel knob has to be on 0 on Aux1 (mix minus) I can't get the FX to go out on Aux1 send output... The only way I got the FX going out of Aux1 send to the other person was to use the Aux1 master volume knob above the FX fader but the mix minus stopped working. The other person could hear himself with the same FX I was trying to apply on my voice! Probably this is a good idea for a video: mix minus setup for conference/interviews over phone but still sending your own voice with FX. Thanks in advance! :)

[@AwkwardJess]

Using one of these for streams, is it possible to mute something for the stream while you can still hear, and the other way around? Just like with the GoXLR

[@DC_Digital]

Hey, I noticed you haven’t posted on your KZbin Channel for a while, so I was wondering if you were interested in doing a Paid Partnership with us? If you’re interested in discussing further details, let me know! Cheers! - Cody Winn Marketing Team
