    These tutorials are incredible. You've explained every knob, button and label on the console, and whenever I seemed to come up with a question, you'd magically answer it in the next sentence or two. I also love how you slow down your sentence when you're about to say something "jargon-heavy", so we have the time to process. Absolute legend. Thank you!

    I've owned a Yamaha MG10XU mixer for years. I use it in my studio, gigged with it, recorded with it and it always performs well. Soon I will be looking for a mixer just for the studio now that gigging season has resumed and the MG10XU will be busy. Based on your 2-part tutorial, the MG12XU seems like just what I need.

    Dear GLB, thanks for this high-quality tutorial. I wanted to report my experience with USB interface with MG10XUF. Using a regular Windows 10 pc without drivers installed I experienced glitches and anomalous behaviour in audio playback from PC. All this problems were solved installing the tiny driver package supplied by Yamaha, which also allows to setup the sampling rate of playback and recording. So I would recommend to install the drivers anyway, even if it apparently works.

I sent it for repair cause the sound was just terrible but after 3 times they said it was beyond repair and they offer me a credit for the same amount I first purchased this unit at which I think I was sweet. Anyway I watched both videos and as soon as I get my new unit I will be able to make more of it. Yhanks for the video. 😁👍

    Thank you for this and your other tutorials! I'm using this mixer for live gigs with two vocalists with one also playing acoustic guitar and the other playing fiddle, four mono-inputs total. The main Stereo Out goes to a Peavey XR-560 Powered Mixer that drives a pair of Peavey 112TLS passive speakers. And I send a shared monitor mix out of Aux1 to a Yamaha DBR 12 powered monitor on stage. But I've made a few mistakes setting up the monitor mix and wanted to share.
    While the Channel Aux1 knobs are switched to Pre-Fader and the Aux1 Send Master is independent, in order to get FX routed to the FX Block Aux1 Pre knob, the post-fader Channel Aux2/FX knobs have to be set, the Channels On and their Faders set. In other words, there has to be signal going the FX Block via the Channel Aux2/FX knobs before there's any FX Aux1 Pre to mix into Aux1. That may be obvious to more experienced users, but for a time I didn't understand why I couldn't get any FX to Aux1.

    • @GLBProductions
      @GLBProductions  Год назад

      Yes, you now have a fundamental understanding of how signals are routed within the mixer 😀 Thanks for sharing, glad you got it all working.

    This tutorial was phenomenal and I learned a lot, as our church bought this mixer a year ago and we love it. Seeing this video helped me understand why we are having audio looping issues when we try to stream and record music played back via a laptop. Does anyone have a good workaround so we can play music with one laptop and stream/record with another using this mixer?

    • @GLBProductions
      @GLBProductions  2 года назад +1

      Very simple: on the playback laptop, connect it to one of the stereo line level inputs and route it to the main LR output in the normal manner. On the recording laptop, connect it to the USB input/output, and make sure that the USB input channel (11/12) on the mixer is switched OFF and/or the channel fader is all the way down. This will prevent the looping issue you describe above.

    Thanks very much for this tutorial! After viewing this, I feel a bit embarrassed because I had used a totally wrong configuration of my Music Studio. This has resulted in a loss of audio quality due to signal leaks. I'm using an external Synthesizer in combination with Cubase to write compositions. Due to my incompetence it appears I've been mixing and adjusting my pieces very poorly. Luckily, I found your channel and clear explanation of the MG10 (in my case). Thanks again and I'm looking forward to produce my work with better audio quality.

    Hi Bruno!
    I'm avid subscriber of yours, really enjoying your tutorials, they are very eloquent and informative.
    -- I have a Drum setup that includes 12+- microphones connected to a Focusrite 18i20 Plus Focusrite OctoPre MkII. (16 XLR)
    My drumset is a Pearl VBX Birch 2011. (DW 5.5" x 14" maple collectors snare added later)
    My microphones are:
    1x Audio-Technica ATM350D for the snare
    5x Audio-Technica Pro35 for the toms
    1x RODE NT4 for overheads (stereo mic)
    2x Audio-Technica MB4 Condenser Cardioid (side mics)
    1x Audio Technica mb 6k for in-side kick
    1x Shure SM57 for outer kick.
    1x Roland SPD-SX (optional, 2 XLR) (not connected)
    1x optional SM57 as a hi-hat mic (not connected)
    The recorded kit sounds good to my ears even with no mixing/effects applied to it in post but I'm lacking the knowledge on how to mix my drums in my DAW...More specifically how to use my plugins, (Compressor, Reverb, EQ, Mastering) Which plugins are used for snare, with which order and such.
    It would be (AWESOME!!!!!) nice if you consider a tutorial(s) on mixing drums, mix placements and all the info you can throw at us about mixing drums.
    I've made a little video describing the current sound I'm getting with my drums setup, please take a listen ruclips.net/video/uQ8yJwUDQtY/видео.html

      Hello Ofer! Thank you for the comment and thank you for taking the time to make the video. I agree with you that your drums sound great.
      As I have mentioned in several of my videos, I'm not a recording engineer and would never pretend to be one 😄 All of my professional experience is in live sound, where the approach to mixing drums tends to be somewhat simplified, due to the number of channels available and the fact that the acoustic sound from the drumkit contributes very significantly to our mix decisions. Likewise, the use of effects and other types of processing is much more limited than in the studio.
      I suggest that you seek out a recording engineer - they will be much better placed to advise you on this topic. All the best with your music 😊

    I had to watch the section on the gain structure for channels 5/6 twice to make sense of it. It does make sense but I don't use this function enough to have a feel for it. That is why I like your videos, the information is there but one might need to watch it more than once. (This is more about my own lack of experience with mixers than any issues with the video).

      It depends - you need to do an analysis of your current and future needs and work out which is best. More channels is more flexible, but the mixer gets bigger and heavier. Look at your current (pre-pandemic) gigs and see how many channels you used on average and then add at least 50% for future expansion.

    Hi. I have a feeling that there are many owners of the Yamaha MG 12 to 20 series mixers who would also be interested in how to connect their outboard/external modules (Compressors, multi effects etc.) to either a single channel or chain of channels including stereo due to the fact that the Yamaha has no insert points. Therefore, I would be very grateful (others too) if you could possibly make a RUclips video on this subject. Again thanks for the great work you do.

I have been a big fan of Yamaha mixer and this tutorial furthered my knowledge using all the features of this mixer. I just want to ask about the live stage monitor for I did not understand well.

    Dear GLB Productions,
    Thank you for an excellent product review of this range of products. Very informative, comprehensiveI, and clearly explained.
    I recently purchased a MG12XU mixer for use with my DAW and as backup for gigs and found your videos while searching for solution/information on an issue I'm having during USB playback while recording. There seems to be some sort of "crosstalk" between tracks where the backing track(s) are bleeding into the newly recorded track as unwanted background noise. It is not distorted but just very faint.
    This problem seems quite illogical that this issue is occurring in a device designed for this purpose. In an effort to identify where the problem was I plugged in my old Alesis io|2 2 channel mixer that the MG12XU was to replace and the "bleed" does not occur so I am confident it is the MG12XU that is the problem here. I could use my old Alesis device but it has other issues including a dead channel hence the MG12XU purchase.
    Regards, Peter

    • @GLBProductions
      @GLBProductions  3 года назад

      Thanks Peter, glad the videos have been helpful. On your issue - easiest way to determine the source of the problem is to transfer your setup to another MG12XU. If the problem goes away you know there's a fault with your particular mixer.

      @petercheney8350 3 года назад +2

      Dear GLB,
      Fortunately it was the "nut behind the wheel syndrome" i.e. me and not the mixer. Yamaha support were also most helpful and provided the following resolution:
      "The MG12XU sends the main stereo L+R bus to the computer via USB so to avoid a loop back you want to set the USB In channel (11/12) to go to Group (1-2) but not to Stereo (ST Button Out). Next set the Group ST button to out position (no sending to Stereo). Lastly Set the Monitor Phones source to Group. This way your mics/instruments can go through the main Stereo bus to your DAW but the signal from your DAW back to you MG12 will go to your Group and then to Phones"
      Onwards!

Do U have a video that could explain the difference betten stereo and mono ? Like I mean to say..... what is the advantage of stereo over mono or vice versa or if one is better than the other and in what situation do we use mono vs. stereo. All I know is ..... if I have a stereo channel, I can send two different signals to 2 different channels. Meaning ... I can send a guitar signal to right amd drums to left and keep the singer on both ...... I am sure..... u know a lot more than I do. Plz. if u already have a video on this, please share the link or if u can make one..... it will be very useful. Thanks. Keep up the good work. U r doing fantastic.

      Hello Balwinder, there is no part 3 in the tutorial series for this particular mixer 😉 Setting effects for singing is very much a matter of taste and musical style. I suggest starting with one of the reverbs (FX 1-7) and adding that via the FX RTN fader until it sound unnatural to you. Then reduce the level slightly and experiment from there. There are really no hard and fast rules for this 😄

    I was eagerly waiting for the part-two video and thanks for uploading it. We use this USB mixer for Online Zoom concerts. I understand that there is no dedicated knob or fader to control the sound level for the Mix when sending it through USB. When we do soundcheck, we are often asked to increase the gain and fader level to reach a good sound level through Zoom, although the meter on the mixer often shows red lights and we almost clip. Our input setting in the Zoom for the mixer is almost maxed. I have two questions. Question 1. “Is there a way to increase the sound level via USB with a proper gain setting without reaching a clipping stage?” Q2. “if we use Aux2 to create a separate mix, the knobs for Aux 2 are also for FX, so how to create a separate mix for Aux 2, without altering the effects?” I will appreciate I receive a response. Thanks for the wonderful education you are offering, learned a lot.

    • @GLBProductions
      @GLBProductions  4 года назад +2

      Q1: Hello Dilip, this is not a good situation: your responsibility as a performer is to ensure that distortion-free audio with a good signal to noise ratio is input to the streaming program. Final volume is NOT your responsibility and you should not be compromising your own audio quality in order to achieve that. It's very much like watching TV - if the sound is not loud enough, the viewer should raise the volume on their TV set, not ask the broadcaster to make their programs louder! I suggest you communicate this clearly and firmly to your viewers.
      Q2: It is not possible to do this - as I say in the video, the knobs are shared. This is one of the significant design compromises of this mixer.
