This is by far the best mixer tutorial I've come across on RUclips. I'm using this mixer now and you've explained everything I needed to know. Thank you.
Hi. You probably do the absolute best instructions on RUclips, it is a great pleasure to share your knowledge. I look forward to every new episode and have never been disappointed. Thanks
Just bought one of these (my first mixer), and can't believe how much it can do! I'm used to all the vintage gear, and your video is super helpful! Thank you!
@@pennywiser9607 you'll need a special cable for that. It looks funky, three connections. A 3.5mm connector for your phone (which you'll probably need an adapter for) and then it splits off into two (an xlr, I believe, and a trs connected). Kettner creations channel does an excellent demo of it. Hope that helps.
Wow. I am so glad I stumbled upon your video. Just bought the Yamaha M612XU Mixed today and watching this is so much better then reading the manual. Thanks for your work.
did my first sound gig last night with this mixer with a 5 piece band using every single channel! I should've watched this first!! but tonights show (same band :) will be a lot smoother thanks to this!!! so thank you!!!
Not sure how I wound up here, but couldn't resist watching. Once I started listening to your delivery, I couldn't click away! I know this mixer very well. I'll have to say that your presentation style is fantastic! Great video.
I am quite impressed in the detailed manner in which you have explained the tutorials on the MGX 12XU. I would like to know how you can use the mixer to connect to starmaker or smule
Just when I was starting to think about saving for a bit more time and getting this one instead of either the mg10xuf or the profx8 you post this video. Didn't even have to ask for it this time. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge. Bye, I have a video to watch.
I finally had time to watch this. Very good intro into this mixer. I really find the PFL function useful and I wish it was available on some of the smaller mixers I've used.
Hello, thanks a lot for this excellent video ! I have the same for my drumset (4 dynamics micros & 2 overheads) and have somme questions : - 1) For the 2 Stereo Out, what is the best to use for an amplified speaker, XLR (balanced ) or Jack (TRS or TS ?) ? - 2) I also use this mixer to connect to a main mixer, what is the best connecting, XLR or Jack (TRS or TS ?) ? Do I have to use two Out or only one for connecting to the main mixer ? - 3) What is the difference between the 2 SEND (Aux 1 & Aux 2) & the 2 GROUP OUT ? Thanks again for your precious answer, musically, Emilio (France).
Hello Emilio! Some answers: 1. It depends on what the line input connectors on your powered speaker are - on some speakers the only line input available is a TRS connector. 2. Please watch my video on how to connect two analog mixers together - either connector can be used. 3. Aux sends can be pre- or post-fader, pre- or post-mute, and the amount of signal being sent can be varied independently of the fader position. Group outputs are always post-fader and post-mute, and the level of signal sent is always proportional the channel fader position. Aux sends are typically used for stage monitors or sending to external FX or recording units, groups are used more for managing groups of similar channels eg all your drum channels, all your vocals etc.
Hello. A question. If I set 3 mics to record my piano via usb to computer on a DAW, it will record the 3 mics on a chanel track of the DAW? Thank you. your videos are great.
Yep, so get a medium soft paint brush, and you can lose that dust and get between the faders no problem...you probably know this.....my church just bought one, waiting for it to ship.
This is an absolutely great instructional video. I just picked up my Yamaha sound board. I was trying to do a test yesterday, and I’m not getting any sound through my speakers. I connected my Shure SM 58, to my microphone. I am able to get signal from there but I can’t get any volume out of my master. What have I done wrong? Do I need a DI box
Thanks for watching! Check the assign switches next to the fader and make sure the ST button is depressed on that channel. Also confirm that both that channel and the LR masters are switched ON (switch illuminated).
Good morning, thank you for making the very informative video. I'm not clear on one step, can the white fx/aux 2 knob manage both functions at the same time? Let me explain: if there are monitors connected to the aux2 output on stage and I operate the white knob, do I raise/lower the channel signal or increase/decrease the effect? I understood that I can only route the effect to the aux1 output. I hope I have explained myself clearly and thank you in advance for your reply.
Yes it can and does, but the mixer is not designed for aux 2 to be simultaneously a monitor send and an FX send: you're meant to use it either as a send to the internal FX or as a post-fade aux send, not both at the same time.
Thank you so much for your great tutorial! We have the 16 channel mixer and I am trying to figure out a way to give 5 band members their own in-ear monitors. Is there any cheap/easy way to do that, like splitting each of the aux signals to 2 people's monitors and then plugging the 5th person's into the monitor outs? I can't afford a fancy auxpander!
Hmm, these mixers are really not set up to work with IEMs - for a start none of the sends are stereo, and only two of them are pre-fader. And aux 4 is shared with the send for the internal effects. So the short answer is no, not really. Are you able to use a more conventional setup with monitor speakers?
I love ur vedios sir very helpful specially for the beginner like me,,, i used mg10xu at present may i ask if compression knob & HPF button can help in eliminating mic feedback even the eq knob all position at center, w/o affecting the desire volume output?? God blessed you sir...
Yes in certain situations: the compression knob can help prevent feedback that happens due to sudden loud signals eg when somebody shouts or screams into the mic. The HPF can help prevent low frequency feedback in the region below 100Hz. However this will not prevent all forms of feedback.
@@GLBProductions , I have the MG10XU and it does not have a PFL button. No faders too but volume knobs instead. My question is, how do I properly set the gain? Thanks.
sir good day, i have mg16xu.. i hope a thorough discussion on how to connect 1 power amplifier (px10) for passive loudspeakers, and 2 active loudspeakers into a 1 mixer (MG16XU)..have a nice day
Excellent video. For my karaoke setup, I am trying to address the need to take the output from the mixer and feed that into DSLR camera. As you suggest, I will use Group 1-2 for the microphone and music channel, set ST on these and take the 1/4inch output from Group 1-2 into DSLR camera; I will turn off ST on the GROUP 1-2 fader and use that for the volume going out to y DSL camera - just trying to confirm, is the right approach? How should I connect my mixer to the home theatre system such that the output from mixer goes into the home theatre system? If you can please help answer this.
Yes that will work fine, except you will need a device to convert the line level output of the mixer into a mic level signal suitable to be fed to the input of the DSLR. For connecting to your home theatre system, these typically use RCA/phono connectors, so you will need some adapters or cables to convert the 1/4" output of the mixer.
@@GLBProductions Thank you for taking the time to respond. When you mention about a device, are you suggesting a cable, two TRS 1/4 inch cables going to one 1/8th inch TRS to feed into DSLR (this is what I have) or some other device? Similarly, I took two 1/4 inch TS cables going out from Mixer main out into two RCA into home theater receiver (this is what I have) or some other device?
No it would be something like a recorder or audio adapter like the Beachtek DXA-HDV. The solution that you have now is not ideal as the output level of the mixer is not correctly matched to the input level of the camera which can cause distortion. When connecting to your home theatre receiver simple adapter cables are fine because the output and input levels are already matched.
@@GLBProductions thank you very much. The product is not available anymore. Would JBL M-Patch ACTIVE-1 work ( I have one of these)? Group 1-2 output from mixer to JBL M-Patch ACTIVE-1 SOURCE 'B', then JBL M-Patch ACTIVE-1 OUTPUTS 'B' going into DSLR - will this be better or the right way?
In theory no because the JBL unit does not have a microphone level output which is what the camera input requires. If your current setup is working fine with no distortion or other problems just keep on using it :)
this sure is hard to remember i was using this just now and the output for the mic was not coming out from one speaker while the sound came out for both the speakers when I play the piano. two of the speakers were connected to an amplifier while the other was connected directly.
Hi, i am interested in this mixer, i would like to use this for my custom home studio. Could you do a tutorial on how to record to a DAW in stereo, for example singing into a condenser mic while playing music, and recording both or each separately, if at all possible?
Hi again. I have a "monitor2 usb as my main audio interface" which i would like to run through the yamaha MG12 XU mixer. Which i will run usb into my pc. Then i would like to connect my condenser microphone into the MG12 UX mixer, then i would like to connect the "Roland VT-4 voice transformer" to the mixer aswell. Can it be done? If so, how would i conncet it all up? Is it through the "Send FX" on mixer. But would i need a DI box to stop the signal from feedback? I've been looking online for answers but found very little. I could really use some expert advice, or a tutorial, as i am new to this mixer. I'll even take a detailed diagram or a drawing in pencil from you on how to connect it all up. So my main goal is to sing through my mixer connected usb to my pc, "Roland VT-4 voice transformer" through my mixer and my Monitor2 usb. While recording my voice to my DAW, and playing the backing track through my headphones on one ear while singing, with or without recording the backing track, as i can edit the backing track later if need be. i know its not a multi track recording mixer. I hope this all makes sence?
Peter this seems unnecessarily complicated to me, given that 1) You are recording using a DAW, which has plenty of power to route, edit and EQ the signal, plus 2) the Roland VT-4 can itself function as an audio interface. Could I ask why you are adding the mixer as well?
It sets the aux send to be pre-fader - if your faders were way below unity when you pressed it there would have been a big increase in the level of your monitors which might have set off feedback.
Hi, we had purchased MG12XU Mixer around 4 weeks back to be used for our online worship through Zoom. We currently use 1 line for Microphone (Shure SM48) and another line for keyboard. But no matter what we do the vocals volume is low and keyboard volume is high. Our current setting is Microphone gain is at 2:00 Clock, and the fader is at the peak. Keyboard gain is at 11:00 clock and fader is on 0. Any advise will highly support us in our online worship. Thanks
I tried raising the gain of the microphone and lowering the volume of the keyboard. But lowering the volume of the keyboard leads to non syncing of vocals and rhythm. Please give me your thought on what am doing wrong and what should be done. Thanks
It sounds like you need to set up a monitor system for the singer using aux 1 - that way you will be able to balance the vocal and keyboard for the zoom broadcast without affecting the singer's ability to hear the keys in the studio.

Can it be done? If so, how would i conncet it all up? Is it through the "Send FX" on mixer. But would i need a DI box to stop the signal from feedback?
I've been looking online for answers but found very little.
I could really use some expert advice, or a tutorial, as i am new to this mixer. I'll even take a detailed diagram or a drawing in pencil from you on how to connect it all up.
So my main goal is to sing through my mixer connected usb to my pc, "Roland VT-4 voice transformer" through my mixer and my Monitor2 usb.
While recording my voice to my DAW, and playing the backing track through my headphones on one ear while singing, with or without recording the backing track, as i can edit the backing track later if need be. i know its not a multi track recording mixer. I hope this all makes sence?
Peter this seems unnecessarily complicated to me, given that 1) You are recording using a DAW, which has plenty of power to route, edit and EQ the signal, plus 2) the Roland VT-4 can itself function as an audio interface. Could I ask why you are adding the mixer as well?
Awesome job, thanks man....
Hey, What does that little Pre button do. I pressed it in, and all hell broke loose. Ughhh
It sets the aux send to be pre-fader - if your faders were way below unity when you pressed it there would have been a big increase in the level of your monitors which might have set off feedback.
@@GLBProductions Thank you, can you answer my most recent question today regarding ST button and 1-2 buttons.
Hi, we had purchased MG12XU Mixer around 4 weeks back to be used for our online worship through Zoom. We currently use 1 line for Microphone (Shure SM48) and another line for keyboard. But no matter what we do the vocals volume is low and keyboard volume is high. Our current setting is Microphone gain is at 2:00 Clock, and the fader is at the peak. Keyboard gain is at 11:00 clock and fader is on 0. Any advise will highly support us in our online worship. Thanks
What have you tried to do so far in order to solve this problem?
I tried raising the gain of the microphone and lowering the volume of the keyboard. But lowering the volume of the keyboard leads to non syncing of vocals and rhythm. Please give me your thought on what am doing wrong and what should be done. Thanks
Is the non-syncing of vocals and rhythm due to the singer not being able to hear the keyboard?
@@GLBProductions Yes thats right.
It sounds like you need to set up a monitor system for the singer using aux 1 - that way you will be able to balance the vocal and keyboard for the zoom broadcast without affecting the singer's ability to hear the keys in the studio.
really helpful, thanks
You're welcome Andrew.
Professional, as usual.
Thanks Petru.
Top notch informative video, thanks mate
You're welcome Jahmo!
Do you need to use a DI box for an acoustic guitar or can you just plug directly into a track ?
Channel, not track 😄 Yes, active acoustic guitars can be plugged straight into the line input, no DI box needed.
Great mixer. Nice info on operation
Thanks Anthony.
