this man born to wear that shirt.
You sound like a bitcccch, I came here to learn.....not to criticize people
You explained this very well,. Now I know how to use the entire mixing board.
Thanks for really take the time to explain all those functions...it really helped out a lot. And put and end to some of the mystery about the rest of those buttons
Very informative presentation performed by a pro ! Thank you !
Great demo Robin. Always learn something new with your videos.
This is a good mixer and served my band well when we were starting out. Have since upgraded to digital, but still use my profx12 for small gigs, parties and as an audio interface. I did have one problem when a power surge (during an electrical storm) fried the PSU module in this mixer (use a good quality surge protector folks - it can and does happen!), but Mackie and the local distributor were damn decent with a prompt response, good advice and provided an out of warranty repair for just the cost of the part. So I can vouch for Mackie's after sales service.
Hey since you’ve used this mixer, I have a quick question. Could I possibly use the fx knob as another aux send? Possibly, by Just turning the fx settings off in the mixer (if that’s possible)
Thank you. I have the same mixer, and now I understand a lot more.
THanks man, you're great in presenting
I’m very glad I purchased one of these bad boys :)
Great video....just what I was looking for👍
I had my v2 stolen. I miss the global slider eq and the RCA ins. I replaced it with v3. Always great job Robin.
Thank you! You sure explain thing and also good tips for beginners! I sure love this (my) mixer! Congrats! (from Portugal!) ; )
Great and thorough review--can you tell me if the sliders on the 7-band EQ illuminate and also, can you control the out level to the USB?
Thanks and keep the great reviews coming!
Very nice review thanks! We are considering this Pro FX12 vs the Mackie 1402VLZ mixer for live work. As I understand it the 1402 is more flexible and a better fit for broadcast, recording, or live, while the Pro FX12 is specific to live work with built in FX. The 1402 is also considerably more $$. Do you think the sound quality is equivalent and which do you recommend for a live band playing local and regional gigs?
Nice review. I got one based on your presentation. Where did you get that rack mount that allows you to stand it up that way?
Thank you and a great video.
I use a couple of Mackies at work and the only thing I wish they would do that they don't (thinking of your comment about the high visibility knobs in subdued lighting) is... when the Mute button is down it should have a slow blinking or steady amber light to indicate that channel is muted. For those moments when someone, after a 1/2 hour break, decides to walk up to the podium mic and start talking with no notice. Within a second or two I guess- 2nd guess- 3rd guess myself, etc... did I remember to mute that before? if I tap it, will I mute them as they start to talk? Do I double tap it quickly hoping to feel the travel in the button, before their first words?
This is a very nice overview of the mixer. I have one of this mixer, works great. But, every time when I am asked to increase the 'REVERB' I always mess it up. What would be the good way to control/increase the reverb setting(s) for this mixer? Could you help, please?
Hello. thank you for that great video. Do you know if the newer versions of that mixer (ProFX v3 and v3+) include this feedback killier technology too? thanks
great video! how would you connect it to a PC for the best audio? It comes with the USB connection but I would guess some quality is lost there? Should I look at getting something like Focusrite SCARLETT but it also just has a USB connection to the PC. I don't really have any monitors right now for the XLR Output unless one of my guitar amps has it and I didn't notice but I would need to check.
How do you engage the feedback compression feature? Or does the mixer does it automatically? Thanks!
Hey man... thank you for this great video! One question. What would you recommend for a congregation type setting? In our Hall, we have like 15 ceiling mounted speakers. Most of the time, there's no issues, but for some members, when they comment, instant feedback. We have to lower the volume pretty much all the way down making it hard to even hear their comment. Something about their voice tone or frequency that causes feedback, I don't know. Most of the time, it happens with the soft-spoken members. Anyway, we're using a TOA 900 series amplifier for the volume control. We're using the Shure SM58 wireless mics with a Shure BLX4R receiver. What would you recommend we do to help avoid that feedback?
great and thank you I bought the console on the other hand what is the link for the support the console holder mixer please
Unfortunately I already own three mixers. What other options do you offer that help in killing feedback from mics at both weddings and nightclub environments?
Can you use regular 1/4 jack guitar cables to go to my alto powered speakers and where do you plug into on the board ( the tape ) output ? Unbalanced ? I have this board but it is very confusing for me. Please any help appreciated thanks
Hi Mike. Enjoyed your review, good stuff. I have an old Mackie dfx6 and noticed the mic stand mount you are using for the ProFX12 review. What is the model number on that stand mount and where did you get it. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.
Had the same question, have you managed to find which stand is it?
So, Is it possible to play the playback coming from Ableton by USB on 1 stereo channel of the mixer, and at the same time during the same session, record on Ableton the master track of the mixer?
You explained all things but which effect we use on this mixers for live vocals?? Delays is too delay don't match music
Could recommend some decent speakers for meetings to connect to this Mackie mixer or recommend a PA system. Is it better to have a separate mixer or one that comes with speaker PA systems.
great cover
Sound like its cutting the feedback frequency to prevent feedback.. i can hear the diff. Of sound before feedback eliminator kicks in. Or am i hearing wrong...
In the future, manually zoom in to somewhere behind you. Manually focus on that spot, then pull the zoom back to frame and it will all stay in focus. Leave it all on manual focus after that.
Thanks that bugged me for the longest time but I did fix the problem since make this video.
Hi I’m using the said Mackie FX12 Mixer with Shure BLX24/SM58. I’ve been trying to eliminate the feedback and I’m unable to get threw. Now I’m noticing my mixer is humming 😞, so I don’t know if that’s part of my problem.
Purchasing the Mackie 12 v2 just curious...what stand do you have them on? Do you sell them?
Thanks for your video. I was wondering. If a want to use it for drum mics, some of them need phantom on and some phantom off, is there a way to manage this with the Mackie ProFX16v2?
Nicolas...if you have a dynamic microphone that DOES NOT need Phantom power ....it will not see the phantom power (+48volts) if phantom power is turned on...... that's why it's called "Phantom"
So there is no need for an audio interface to connect this to a mac mini using a usb? Can I just directly plug in the usb without having a buzzing sound or any interference?
Checked one of these out today and noted there was only one Monitor Out port. Does that mean I'd need to get a splitter to line into two monitors? Not ideal and would lose stereo...pls correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you for all the explanation. By the way may I know if there is any way of getting rid of the cracking sound when I turn or touch some of the knobs. It would be a big help for me. Thank you
You are pushing static throw your mixer and out of the speakers you need to improve the grounding to go direct to the wall plug here is a link to show you what i'm thinking. amzn.to/3IcWm1b
Volume??? Got my pc connected to my mixer to pa speaker. Got my pa speaker set half way, mixer set to U and should my computer be set to 100% just personal preference? New to this trying not to blow a speaker.
can I use an audiobox96 from presonus as a DI box to connect to this mixer
Is there a way to avoid the pop through the monitor (when attached) when unplugging an instrument (guitar). I can Mute the channel output, but still the Monitor feed is active?
When you plug in or out the Cable it makes a hard short. you could try this cable from digiflex it works 50% of the time. the red end does all the magic. www.expertisland.com/products/digiflex-npp-silent-tour-series-silent-instrument-cables-neutrik-np2x-1-4-to-np2x-silent-1-4
Hey im seeking how to connect my powered speakers for best results i have a ev zlx 15p and a behringer b1500d subwoofer .what im lookn for or need to know is if i should use the output thru from my EV or from Subs to feed either one or run a seperate line/cable from one ofe the mixer output to Subwoofer so in that case the subwoofer will be on it own ĺine with seperate volume control ie..from mixer cntrl room to powered subs and if i should connect my fullrange to the Mains out on mixer
What kind of stand is that you have for the mixer?
have you found a better mixer with feedback suppression?
Is there a way to record on an iPad via the USB port
Feedback compression knob? Not sure what you mean? Thanks
what is control room on mixer is use for.
Really enjoy your reviews - just subscribed - Couple of questions - Regarding the effects - can an individual effect be assigned to each individual channel - EG: guitar has echo, mic has reverb, bass has chorus etc? Can the entire system be controlled remotely by an iPad? What stand are you using in the video? THX!

Hello how are you? Whats the differences between yours and
802-VLZ3 Mixer
need you all advice. I have this same sound board and will be adding 4 wireless mic. what do you all recommed. i need some sort of rack instead of using a small table. what would you all recommend?
hey can you tell me where you got the stand for that mixer
Hi Mike I don’t
quite get the two stereo channel - 5/6 and 7/8. How can they be stereo if they
each have only one input? Or do both the XLR and jack inputs work at the same
time? in which case - is there a mic pre on the line in?. Rgds Jorge
Johan Slabber it’s probably channels 7/8 and 9/10 where you don’t see xlr. So 7/8 would have a L and R 1/4” inputs , and same thing with 9/10. On my Yamaha I use 7/8 as a left/right for my dj controller, or a stereo (Ring/Tip) to 1/8” for an aux connection.
Hope that helps, and hope I got my terminology correct lol
Good job.
Hi can this stand work with my Blastking 8 channel mixing console?
would you recommend an electric violin to play through this
Nice, sir
my friend, I can not connect my PROFX16V2 TO A WINDOWS 10, there is a lots of comments on internet about it. do you have and idea how to do it. NO drivers available on Mackie website for this model. can you help me. thanks
Where did you found a vertical stand like this ??
can i use fx send as a aux feed sub?
Anyone, can I use the 2 xlr outputs on the back at the same time with the1/4 outs on the front. ??
I have an older one without the USB. I haven't used it for years, but today I decided to play some tunes while waxing the car. Here is the problem. . . today while playing it and not too loud, the limiter light was flickering and after about 1 hour, it just started to kick out ... 2 minutes later come back on.
I'm running a smartphone 1/8" to 1/4" plugs into channel 1 and 2, and I did have the bass turned up, but after turning the bass down, it just shuts down.
I just remembered. I tried running the 1/8" stereo jack from the phone into the Yorkville NP25, using a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and that also made the speaker's limiter light up AND the volume was very low and of course, only one channel. When I put the phone to mono, no sound at all.
I was using only one speaker, but so what right? .... I know what to do, I should try the other speaker and see if I get the same problem, if I don't, then God dam it, I have a bad NP25 I guess.
Where do I plug into to go into a house system?
I want a good punchy base suggest me a sound system for my house
What is the ST RTN again?
I have a question!!! Where do I get the mixer stand this guy is using?1 I want and need it. I have looked all over the internet and found nothing like it. Expert Island Please tell me where I can get this exact stand for my mackie pro12v2!!!! BTW this is a great Video and thank you for sharing!
My profx22v2 doesn't work when recording. (inputs) is their a driver for mac? i see nothing everywhere. Can you do a video on setting up Profx22 recording on a mac? show connections and audio midi setup on computer, and record on daw.
I heard those versions dont have an interface built it I think
I just got this exact board today..good video by the way. My question is if I hook up my phone or computer for music or to jam with backing tracks and I use the tape in with RCA plugs can I control the volume through the board? Or will I have to buy RCA to 1/4 adapters and plug them into the quarter inch inputs? Thanks!!
Get some 1/4 to rca adapters plug this way you can use all the features on the mixer. the RCA jacks on top are for recorder or looping in a dsp or EQ. Have fun with your new mixer.
did that thanks!!
Yes there is a volume knob for the tape input above the main vol fader
Do you have a review on the Behinger inuke nu4-6000 please give option on this amp
Sorry No Behinger yet is the showroom to demo.

1. You didn't show feedback and then No feed back, so we don't know if that feature works.
2. What is the point if having feedback suppression if you have to turn the effects off first?
versionV3 has Feedback killer too?
I bought a used one yesterday(brand new condition), today the PSU has died, typical. I'm not a professional, I used only a Behringer Xenyx802, had better warmer sound, much better stereo space, no popping noise when turning on, and last more than one day. :D
How do you control the output sound for recording out of this? Like so it wont come out so hot.

@@expertisland Thank you, have a nice weekend
Hi Mike here from UK, I was very impressed with your informative presentation so I went and bought one but I can't find any information in the manual regarding this 'feedback supression' that you mention. I bought a pair of Mackie Thump 15 speakers and in our first gig using them we got feedback all the time. I certainly can't put a mic infront of the speakers without getting feedback. We've tried Shure and AKG mics but even with the speakers on half volume we get feedback. We did add some but not a lot of FX No 3 (small stage). Am I missing something? is there a button or particular setting that triggers this "Feedback Supression" to kick in ?
What Model did you Buy? Let me know.
Right from the Mackie specs For The ProFX12v2. (Designed specifically for live sound, Vita preamps are virtually noiseless, featuring a discrete Class-A front end design, dual feedback stabilization for unmatched low-noise performance).
@@expertisland it was exactly the same as being shown. Profx12 v 2.
There is no magic. A few things that you should be aware of.
1. When soloing and adjusting the gain, the fader should be at 0dB and the main meter should be around 0dB as well.
2. Use the low cut buttons for all mics and line inputs except for the bass and kick drum.
3. The graphic EQ bands should be at 0dB or just by pass it.
4. Mics should be always behind the speakers.
can I connect a tc electronics m350 PROCESSOR through this somehow?
Sorry If I seem dumb, Im noob at this
Via the send return options or with the insert
Picked it up today at 1pm..show at 8pm.lets see what happens
what happened?
@@oohyeahluis my buddy loved it! It was put to work two hours later flawlessly,3 bands,full boogie, the only hard part was the eq tuning to the room.
One IMPORTANT question PLEASE. I love your video's! Thank you! I bought this board but find the main meters to be VERY LOW responsive. They barely light. In order to have them light to full green I must fully push max volume. My audio tracks are normal volume (not low.) I'm only using 1 mic and audio player (no usb). I called Mackie and couldn't solve. You're an expert. Any thoughts PLEASE? I'd like to use my main meters. THANK YOU!!!
The Meter is driven by the Main Fader, so make sure it’s turned up to get an accurate reading. If the resulting perceived volume is too loud, reduce the volume AFTER the mixer (power amp or whatever else is used).
I just can't figure out how to link it to Waveform. I put output and input on the USB but the soundbar doesn't move when I speak into the mike.
I will try and look at the mixer Friday and help you out, for now when you plug your headphones into the mixer are you hearing the mic?
Oh lord.. Sorry, I'm a complete beginner with mixers and such.. I don't currently have the headphones cable. Didn't think I'd need it. I was under the impression the sound would go to my computer. Is that it? Because I'd speak into the mic and the soundbar on Waveform wouldn't move. Even though output and input were on USB.
So i got the headphones cable. I can hear every instrument thats plug in to the mixer on the headphones, but again, I go to audio devices on Soundwave, and put the Output and Input on USB Audio CODEC, then I press test, and nothing happens. I go to a song file and try to record and it says "Recording is only possible when at least one active input device is assigned to a track".
Again, Im new at this, so any help would be appreciated..

Is this mixer can take any powered speaker without having any issue?
any Power speaker will work with this mixer.

Great review, Enjoyed watching, How does Yamaha MG12XU compare to Mackie?
I've used a Mackie for years and love it. A Yamaha MG10XU mixing console was put in its place temporarily but I didn't like it, especially since there are no individual "mute" switches for each channel. This is very important. OTOH Yamaha has "gain" in the places where you'd expect a "mute". Switching from a Yamaha and when you're used to a Mackie, you may accidentally push to mute a channel, you're end up blasting noise into those mikes and speakers to kingdom come. Talk about waking up the dead! Stick with Mackie, especially if you only know enough to work as a sound tech to be dangerous.
Hi, does it comes with built in amplifier?
No. This is an unpowered mixer. If you're wanting a mixer with a built in amplifier you'll have to get a powered mixer
How do you connect speakers to this?
XLR outs are on the back

Hi . I own this mixer and I am trying to use the monitor send for the floor monitors. cant seem to get it to work . I get no sound at all can you help ? Thanks
I see the picture but can't make out the Make or model?
islands it's the exact same model as the one your reviewing
@@violadrums 3 steps - 1) Green dial on the channel you want to lesson to start at 50%.
2) turn up the Monitor out to unity. 3) Plug your monitor in to the monitor send. Make sure to then turn on the mixer before the monitor... maybe that should be step one.
@@expertisland
So I'm running the mixer to power amp then to floor monitors. So which green dial is for the mo for the monitor send ? And thanks for the help in advance
@@violadrums Let say you plug a mic in to CH1 and you want to hear that mic on the monitor turn up the green dial on CH1
So I must of missed the part about the feedback buster? 🤔
Very end of video.
were do wireless mic plug into.
Wireless microphones normally come with their own electronic box to constantly communicate with the microphones. Inspect the electronic box and see what kind of inputs/outputs it has if it's able to connect to this mixer preferably wired.
Wich one is better yamaha or makie
That's what I'm trying to figure out too.
On the 16 channel Mackie FX16 v2 (10 mic inputs) 4 channels have compression.
Were is your shop or store
Oakville Ontario in Canada.
Can anyone please let me know if the Mackie is powered T.I.A
NO this is NOT a powered mixer.
It says it has a built in interface, so do I need to buy an interface as well or just this?
The profxV2 (Profx8 - 30) has usb and can be used as an audio interface - but note, it's usb output is only stereo L/R though, i.e. not 12 separate channels.
@Jamie Hein The USB output from the Profx V2 mixers is a single stereo channel. You cannot record multiple mics onto individual tracks in a DAW (unless you record each channel/track one at a time). The newer ProFXV3 mixer range may have some multi channel output, but I don't own one of these and can't comment. For a mixer to use as a multi track interface maybe check out a Mackie DL16S or a Behringer XR18
