Yamaha MG Series of Mixers Demo

[@nateedmondsmusic]

Awesome tutorial! - I am a newbie to this type of equipment - previously using a standard audio interface (focusrite) in my basement studio. I was intimidated by all the knobs and this tutorial made me feel at ease. I chose this at Guitar Centar because I needed more manual control and options for live (Facebook) that I couldn't get with the old set up. Great job to the presenters for their to-the-point presentation. Special thanks to Mr, Joan for his sincere and understandable delivery.+ Thank you, gentlemen! Bro. Nate

I loooove mine. I had the MG12 before and now i got the MG12XU

[@noisycricket575]

I love my MG16XU! This mixer is great! Having a sweepable Mid is essential...The built in compressors are a wonderful.

[@808drill]

I suppose to cut or boost in a flexible range in the mid frequency area

[@farwestgarohills3831]

I want Yamaha to put one or two INSERTS in all standard mixer models in future, because we facing problem in using in certain cases. In such cases, we need another pro mixer. What you think? Adding 2 inserts will cost Yamaha? Not at all; It will sell more.

[@GJAkuo]

Bro I clicked on 2 random videos and John from Yamaha is in both of them. 🤣🤣 I was just doing some research on a new mixer I wanna buy for church. First video was John from Yamaha introducing the mg series. Then I clicked on this one cuz it said mg16 demo. Lo and behold, John from Yamaha is also in this vid.

This guys voice sounds like Hank Hill. Yamaha and Yamaha accessories.

[@alainszyller615]

2 questions: 1/ to make sure, does it work as an audio interface ? 2/ how to insert external effects devices ?

[@rah8864]

Why Yamaha cut the essential inserts!!? Don't they know graphic eq and peripherals are still in use?

[@roggo_x]

Hi, sorry, was it a lot of work to get up from the chair, grab a guitar from the wall, plug it into the mixer and show the effects instead of counting them?

[@izziOnBass]

Can you use BUS out to the mixer to do out of the box mixing? or it this only a recording mixer? TIA

[@shapelesscube]

so what’s the difference between MGP16XU and MGP16X,?

[@djdancealone3419]

I've noticed the modern mixing board is no longer catering to the mix engineer. People who like to mixdown from a workstation through a board would love to have a compressor on each channel .... just in case.

[@joelonsdale]

I'm not sure about that - this is an entry level mixing desk and is perfect for the band mixing themselves but probably does not have the extended functionality to satisfy a dedicated mix engineer with external compressors, gates, EQs etc.

[@dionisislivathinos4099]

Food for thought. On the MG16U you can get effects to the auxes on the MG20XU you cannot!!!! Wonder what they were thinking......

[@incredibleadventures1027]

They crammed too much into the same size box on the MG20XU. I think than is the only difference though other than the extra channels. The MG16XU is the best if you don't need 20 channels.

[@Piggyfoodtravel]

What is the application name of that on his iPad?

[@VoiceActingGod]

Does this mixer support multi track recording?

[@TheCreator919]

very nice

[@pm.raudhatussalammahato4568]

How to instal the external fx in this mixer?

[@cosmaskandie3416]

am in kenya,how can i get 16 channel mixer

[@uvi_1general25]

hey question can i ues this mixer interface with flstudio and control the faders in the daw or do only do that with cubebase

[@joelonsdale]

Doesn't work like that. It's not a controller.

[@sachinahire1190]

Yamaha mg16xu best effect my experience

[@imlitzudir8459]

hi can we use condenser microphone direct connection for live performance. i have not idea about mixer.

[@piotrbarnowski2443]

I wouldn't recommend condensers for live gigs at all, you will have a lot of nose picked up

[@joelonsdale]

@@piotrbarnowski2443 Yes. You don't want to pick your nose.

[@jirehjamesasis7851]

Can this mixer already do multitracking on drums? for drum recording? tnx

[@joelonsdale]

There are only two digital out channels via USB. You can get a good drum mix and record it as a stereo file, but you are turn limited in the mix. You really need an audio interface with multiple inputs and a desk with multiple individual outputs.

[@alexdakar1994]

Multitrack recording via USB ?

[@dionisislivathinos4099]

Sorry for the typo, I meant the MG16XU

[@classicdell]

Is this also considered an audio interface?

[@ivanmaskov]

+classicdell yes,,,but its only 2 channel interface(left, right)

[@laxmilalCreator]

So much expansive.

[@fefeiron7447]

Can you multitrack on this or is it just 1 input?

[@jouebien]

Felix Richards the USB interface is essentially just a replacement for a two track in and out. This gives you two mono channels or one stereo channel to record from - in both cases what ever your sending to the main out of the board. You would use the pan to address the stereo out as two mono separate channels. If you want a multi track interface/mixer this board is not for you.

[@fefeiron7447]

Oh okay, just bought the mackie onyx anyway- cheers!

[@classicdell]

And is it a standalone mixer, meaning you do not need to plug it into a computer?

[@StephenNuchia]

Yes, the USB functions as a two-way stereo connection, the board is powered independently with an external transformer brick. The lack of independent monitor channel composition means it is pretty useless for gigs but I'm pretty happy with the 10-channel one for solo voiceover work.

[@StephenNuchia]

The closest thing to an independent monitor channel is you have the option of routing the incoming USB pair (which looks like a speaker to the computer's software) to just the monitor jack (headphone levels) or it can be routed to the main mix. The USB output, which looks like a stereo microphone to the computer, digitizes the main L/R mix without an independent level pot. It's not anywhere near as flexible as I'd like but I can get a reference track and my isolated microphone into my headset with no latency while capturing the mic with a high-quality digitizer, so it meets my "must have" goals.

[@StephenNuchia]

To be clear, I'm talking about the MG10XU which has three-knob EQ and no explicit monitor channels. Obviously the one in the video has monitor channels and a more elaborate EQ section than mine.

[@tyronebrown8971]

I like that just got one I’m still learning it but I’m thinking about buying that one but not yet dj steady steady entertainment

[@jeetrend]

what use foot sw

[@joelonsdale]

To turn the echo off between songs to talk to the audience.

[@bond4177]

Ah but it doesn't multitrack record.. the one feature it's missing... FFfffffffffffffff-

[@deasalbukhori]

i wonder when i record with effect the result is no effeft, why is that?

[@narayanadhikari1526]

how can we add extrenal eq or compressor in mg series mixtures as they do not have inserts

[@joelonsdale]

You could do some clever routing to involve external gear, but this is an entry level desk and doesn't have those kind of features. You'll have to spend a bit more money, do without your external effects or get clever with the routing.

[@adeshization]

@@joelonsdale cant u use the aux 1- 4 as inserts ... the specs online say that they are inserts (asking)

[@HakanARIK]

it doesnt have an equilizer?

[@rush2795]
