[@darrylrobinson8922]

How do connect ddj 1000srt and MPC Studio 2 to the yamaha MG10XU

[@djwerd831]

⁠@@darrylrobinson8922Try using the ddj out rca or xlr out to the mixer; same for the mpc; (both left and right mono channels). Hope this helps!!

[@ceso6719]

Yo mine makes a static noise every minute and 20 seconds.. i thought it was my monitors but i disconnected them and used some headphones and the same sound came through them as well.. is mine messed up.? I think it might be wated damaged would that make it like that??

[@Masita..]

I really recommend watching this in 1.25 speed, it helped me alot , somehow is easier to understand the whole video actually

[@kettnercreative]

Love how flexible KZbin is with this! Some people want it slower, some want it faster, happy you're able to find what works for you!

[@truthtimetv4575]

this is an interesting comment i felt like i had no issues but changing the speed changes that lol

[@jeffelliott1194]

I do this with most every video, gets through content much faster. Sometimes 2x

[@lowdown4111]

I use an extension that lets me control playback on any video anywhere. I can’t live without it

[@JWolf-nh9uw]

It is insane how right you are

[@sallywigney2410]

I recently bought one of these units and have been checking out a number of KZbin videos about it. This is one of the clearest and most useful intros to the unit I have seen. Thanks!

[@kettnercreative]

Fantastic, I’m so happy hear this! Enjoy your new mixer!

[@davidaustin9638]

This is by far the best mixer tutorial ever….masterful at simplifying. Well done!

[@tugsman5]

I swear to actual JESUS I clicked all the buttons for the last hour or more trying to get my mic to show up...watched 6 videos...you're the only one who mentioned the phantom power button...IT WORKS...THANK YOU!

[@kettnercreative]

Nice! Glad it worked.

[@jmchau66]

Been searching for a few tutorials about this mixer and your channel is by far the best and clearest of them all. Thank you very much.

[@MrK-ti5lt]

Well presented! I've been using this mixer for a couple years now and learned a couple things I didnt know : ) Also I stand by it as well for durability and ease of use for the price

[@RobertRoweMusic]

Been looking at this console for an open mic hosting. This was the clearest, best explanation of it's features and usage I've found.

[@le3aerialphotography870]

I decided to buy one. These "how to" tutorials will help make this a practical tool.

[@kettnercreative]

Nice, glad the videos are helpful.

[@markh7205]

Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I bought one and had it up and running in minutes. Keep it up.

[@MattaPhillipsmusic]

These videos are extremely helpful. I bought this mixer last year out of necessity. I’ve enjoyed using it, but have had issues. You’ve answered most all my questions in this video.

[@kettnercreative]

Thanks for sharing!

[@stephenwatson4665]

Thanks Jordan i have owned one of these for 2 years and still at the bottom or the hill with using it to its full potential but this video has helped me out heaps .

[@beggarman23]

Excellent descriptions of all the functions in easy-to-digest form...thanks, Jordan

[@Eddylive]

The absolute best channel in the field. I learned how to actually use my Yamaha mixer Mg10xu perfectly and my old Yamaha mixer as well.

[@kettnercreative]

Fantastic, happy to hear.

[@DGRussMB]

Today, I finally purchased a MG10XU board. This video really helped me out a ton trying to figure everything out. Excellent video to just follow along! I'll be going through the whole playlist you pinned! (I've already liked this video after a previous comment from a year ago) The way you explain things is very thorough and I was able to follow along with ease.

[@YouHaveAGoodPoint]

This is incredibly helpful for a novice. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

[@kettnercreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@auntjennjenn2547]

[@jamieswing]

Just picked this up today. Great video tutorial, thanks!

[@chrisel10]

this is one of the most helpful videos I've watched.... I did a live stream concert a few weeks back and the sound kept dipping and going very quiet during it with the set up I was using. I've bought this mixer in the hopes I can have a another go at it but I had no idea what to do with all the knobs and buttons so this is pretty darn incredible and useful to a novice.

[@jessgayatao8687]

Very well said! Great explanation! Keep up the good work Man!

You answered questions I had, and some I didn't know I would need to know until watching this... very nice video series! I am using my new MG10XU, usb-to-pc, with my 3DiO FS binural mic. Still trying to figure out the most ideal settings and best way to record with the mixer while syncing with video streamed from DSLR-to-HDMI input into the laptop

@orelanic4178 I hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm having issues with my recording volume. I've seen another video that says it could be the USB cable. Do you have this issue?

[@GerardoJMendozaManuel89]

Great review! I´m really new to this. Got the mixer but didn´t really know how to use it properly.

[@kettnercreative]

Great to hear!

[@sheryltupa4289]

Mr. Kettner, thank you so much for all of your videos on the MG10XU. I’ve had this a few years now, but have learned so much about the settings of it from you. I used it the other night at a Karaoke show, and after using your initial settings, most of my singers were pushing the levels above the “zero” quite a bit. I’m using Vocopro 5800 wireless mics and my laptop connected via USB. Do I have to lower the audio on my laptop and/or the levels on my microphone base, to keep this from happening? Of course I want to try and give my singers and audience the best sound possible! Thanking you in advance, Sheryl T - Apache Junction, AZ

[@delrstudio.2252]

Great narrating .

[@kettnercreative]

Thank you.
