Yamaha MG10XU and AT2020 Microphone

[@yoda3983]

I've the same setup at home and i didn't use it correctly before seeing your video. Thanks a lot for all of your advices!

[@kettnercreative]

Glad this helped!

[@michaelchimenti2847]

This is the only tutorial that helped me thank you so much seriously

Beautiful video I have some AT-2020’s in my Arsenal. Cool fact is that Billie Eilish earlier in her career also used the AT-2020 in some of her popular recordings. I will be using my Yamaha MG06X for a small podcast this week instead of pulling out my trusty Mackie ProFX10v3. I adore that mixer but plan on getting the Yamaha MG12XU in the near future. When I’m DJ’ing I take my MG06X or Mackie ProFX6v3 literally everywhere that I go. Thanks Mr. Kettner for all your informative videos!

Could this setup apply to an Audio Technica AT2020 & Yamah MG06X?

[@aolish]

The MG10XU that we use for our church works fine, but for some reason the signal meter isn't functioning the way its suppose to. Only the bottom light of the meter flashes, but everything else remains dark. Do we have a defect or is there a switch on the mixer that needs to be enabled for the meter level to work? Thanks so much for this video and for your help. Jesus bless you all! :)

[@TheGabecc]

Love your videos. Any chance you could do a set up video for the Peavey PV10AT mixer with the Audio Technica AT2020 microphone?

[@andysvlogging]

I have the same home set up. Thanks for the video. Have a question in mind. When m doing Facebook live/Zoom meet with this mixer i'm adding reverb when i'm singing. But when I'm talking/interacting with people I don't like to add reverb to my speech. How to control this with this mixer ? should I turn off the Fx button while giving speech ? please help !!

[@paulpeterson19]

Love all the videos. Any chance you could do ones where you show how to connect a DJ controller to the Yamaha 10 to get the best sound output? Maybe show a controller that doesn’t have xlr outputs (only rca outputs) and another that does, but still runs through the Yamaha.

[@kettnercreative]

I can certainly add it to the list. I don't have any DJ controllers in the shop her, but we're getting a lot of requests for this so I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion

So my younger me bought an MG10, which has no USB output + a Steinberg UR12. So my mic goes XLR in MG10, XLR out, XLR In UR12, USB out. My UR12 keeps peeking and I can't really use the settings I use on my MG10 because the UR12 will just keep peeking even tho all gains and volumes on the UR12 are put to 0. In my case: How can I handle this?

[@Hunzaschoice]

I have this mixer and microphone. I use it to join singing app Smule via my iPad. I have great problems with the volume coming through headphones from the iPad how can l combat that . Am l doing something wrong. I connect my iPad via the usb on back of mixer

[@SadAdobo]

I just bought this setup today wtf

[@kettnercreative]

Ahah, crazy. Hopefully this gave you the info you were looking for.

[@KhachikYetenekyan]

I have this whole set up and love it, but there is a hissing noise in the background. Do you have any way to fix this?

[@1NK_INK]

same problem

[@GeorgeCostos]

Hey! Love your videos! Thank you for all your help. I’m using this exact setup for my singing streams and I can’t get the sound right. I tend to use the #4 setting, but when it comes to reverb I can’t get it right. I’m going through stream labs, so don’t know if people at home are hearing the same thing as what I’m hearing through my headphones. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

[@farid1280]

Hi, that's great. Thanks. What if I want to record a video clip counting the mic and mixer to smart phone?

[@kettnercreative]

Then you just need to connect it to your phone using the USB cable.

[@farid1280]

@@kettnercreative I have not yet tried such a connection!! Thanks

[@oscwolf1]

Hey I have my connected to the pc using the USB but I ha an incredibly low audio going in. Has there been a fix for this or a work around?

[@kettnercreative]

If you have low audio, it could be two things: 1) If you're on Windows, make sure you have the newest driver 2) Make sure that your gain is turned up so you are getting close to 0 on the led meter. Don't be afraid of using gain.

[@trevor6821]

My mic comes through at a reasonable level in various recording / chat software (Audacity, OBS, Discord), but I'm still not able to get the level on my mixer to light up at all, even at max gain/max level/max comp - any ideas on why this might be happening? Is my output level meter just broken?

[@CodyHouck]

Do you have a video for mic settings that are actually on the pc. I have this setup and everyone in my discord says my mic is low. I use these same settings and everything on my computer is set to max.

[@kettnercreative]

I would say keep raising the gain. The PC should be left at it's default line-in settings.

[@vinitpatil8932]

Hey Jordan, I have heard AT2020 and it's a phenomenal mic for game streaming, but the new Blue Ember seems quite good too as per almost every online review. But, I feel those reviews may have a little bias as they are influencer activities. I trust your opinion if you have heard both of them, can you tell me which one is a better choice?

[@kettnercreative]

I don't have a ton of experience with any of the Blue microphones, we will likely have some coming in a couple weeks so we can do comparisons/demos for you. That being said, I was genuinely shocked at how great the AT2020 sounds for the price. I can't say how it compares to the Blue Ember, but the AT2020 is definitely a great value.

[@veredaleware145]

Ohh thats the one I need to get usb version, those are like what 200ish

[@MrNickdino]

Hi everyone, Can y'all recommend me some microphones that: -can be used to record with a smartphone -can also be used with and benefit from an audiointerface -versatile enough to be used on most instruments and singing. -studio/high quality

[@kettnercreative]

Sounds like you want a Shure SM57 with the optional A2WS windscreen. Super versatile, bulletproof, inexpensive.

[@MrNickdino]

@@kettnercreative but can it be used with a smartphone?

[@kettnercreative]

@@MrNickdino if you get an interface

[@HyperExcel]

Im having trouble with my at2020 with the mg10xu, The bar is lighting up but im using the 2 white and red jack in the mixer and the 1 in the back of the computer into line in. I also use voicemeeter and have no idea why the mic isnt working. if anyone knows my discord is HyperExcel#3900

[@kettnercreative]

Condenser mics will only receive phantom power if you use an XLR cable. Using an RCA cable will not power your microphone.
