I've spent the last 4 weeks thinking that I was going to buy the Yamaha MG10XUF, then tonight I found your videos on this beast, and now I've changed my mind completely. This is now the mixer I'm wanting, so thanks for helping with my dilemma. Superb videos by the way.
Excellent and well presented video! I'm just waiting for my board to arrive and after reading countless negative comments about the lack of instructions I searched and found your video. Glad I did as it will save me countless hours of frustration and muddling around.
Just purchased one of these to use at an athletic venue with public address and music requirements from multiple sources. Your video was very helpful, for this mixer and in general. Thank you.
I find your videos super helpful, you say everything clearly, you show everything and you do it slowly in a way that even those who are completely new doesn't feel lost (I once watched a guy explayning mixer setup and he moved so fast - cable here, another there, turn this up, this down - that I didn't get anything from it). Your content is really top quality and you just earned a new sub. Keep up the great work.
Excellent video! I appreciate how thorough and knowledgeable you are about the product. Just purchased the FX10 and I can assure you as a new user trying to navigate the setup this video was perfection! I just subscribed and will definitely be checking out more videos. Thank you.
That is a great little mixer. Thank you for taking the time to feature this piece if gear! Been looking at the newer VLZ4 series in 2024 but , meh, im SOLD on this one. There's just something about the layout here i like! tyvm!
Hi, your video presentations are impeccable and really helpful to make a decision to buy this mixer and also for reference on it is brought. As these mixers seem complicated for beginners, and help from an experienced hand such as yourself does have an impact. Most people, though, could afford such mixers don’t usually go for it, because they can’t fully understand the functions. And your videos make it clear. Thanks!
Thank you Jordon for all of your help.Are you Canadien too- Brookville,Ontario. A quick note: Today I spent almost 4 hours employing my Senses in trying to figure out what method or type of connection provides the BEST Stereo connection for the Cell Phone? I get to use a fancy word: EMPIRICAL. My analysis was definitely Emperical.The Winner: The Top right 'LINE IN 9/10 JACK' on the Pro FX 10v3.I promise you Im being honest.I tried multiple other connection possibilities.Fact- its not even close.The ISOPOD LINE LEVEL SUMMING BALANCER is,to be blunt...terrible(D rating).I tried the Behringer Ultra-Di D120 (Link) approach(C Rating)...I tried the 5/6 Pairing Approach(B Rating)....here are 2 best- coming in at 2nd place is the Bluetooth Stereo on my Pyle 4ch mixer(A rating)....but the Heavyweight champ is,with an A+ Rating the LIne In 9/10 with just the 1/8 connecting to mixer and Male USB C CONNECTING TO PHONE.
Thanks for these videos. As someone not that familiar with mixer setups, these videos have been the best ones I have seen in terms of quality demonstration and explanation (after hours of searching and watching other videos on the internet). Have been trying to get a 2 PC streaming setup going and while I have the video feed sorted, the audio setup has been giving me problems (specifically getting game and mic sound from gaming PC to the streaming PC/OBS). Seems that a hardware mixer might be the best way to go without diving into the complications of a software solution like Voicemeter Banana. I was looking at getting the Yamaha MG10XU but your videos on the Mackie ProFX10v3 have convinced me that it might be a better option.Your other video (Yamaha MG10XU Streaming setup) showed that running a cable from the headphone out port on the gaming PC to 2x 1/4 ports in the mixer was the best way to capture the gaming PC sound (before sending it on to the streaming PC/OBS via usb). Am assuming most of the info in that video for the Yamaha mixer can be reused in setting up the Mackie mixer? Lastly, am just wondering what you think is the best way to set up microphone/s for a 2 PC streaming setup using the Mackie? (wanting the option to talk to team mates via Discord and talk separately to the stream if needed - have a range of microphone input options from gaming headsets to an ATR-2100x that does usb or xlr). Appreciate any advice you can give and thanks again for the great content.
Hi There, Yes, a streaming video using the Mackie is coming as well. There are a couple very distinct differences with how the blend knob/usb inputs are setup - but everything else is very similar. I'll keep this comment as a reference for when we create the Mackie version of the streaming video to try and address some of your questions.
I bought a 6v3 today for simple desktop stuff and am wrapping my head around the blend and usb returns, as well as getting used to the pre-main-fader control usage for USB out. So I really appreciate the various videos you have for the ProFx line. Your production quality, expertise, and detail are easily worth the 'subscribe'.
Okay, you've got me started on the right track, ( no pun intended), so off I go! Great video. You present the info in a clear, concise way making everything easy to understand alongside my printed documentation that I downloaded from Mackie. Thank you for including the links also! As I watch more of your videos and find that they continue to assist me, I'll gladly join the group at your more than reasonable rates! I've got all the instruments that I play,,,,, guitars, drums (acoustic & electronic), & piano/keyboard,..and the equipment,..amps, Mics, MackieProFx10 Mixer, cables, an 1800W PA and 3000W Alesis Strike 8, and even a 8ch DI box, (just in case). My biggest concern now is which DAW to use??!! I've got Cubase/WavePad loaded on a Dell that I've learned will handle an audio DAW setup. Hopefully now, your videos will get me going in the right direction to getting my music recorded correctly. I know I've got a long way to go and a lot of trial & error and that's what I'm striving to reduce!
Thanks for this video. I just got the Rockville ROCKMIX 10FX 10 Chan Mixer. The BT is a nice feature on there. But can it even compete with the Mackie ProFX10v3. Let me know what you think. I plan to return it sooner than later. I like how you explain things on this video. Thanks
i just bought mackieprofx10v3 i will follow your instruction and i hope i will be succesful to get the sounds i like as i am struggling for 2 days now seting it up now i will do the instruction
I just purchased the 10V3. Thanks for taking time to create such a clear and informative video! Many of us are hobbyists or new to audio and its such a great help having resources like these that you post that are easily understood and fun to watch.
thanks for the video buddy. i wrote that i was going with the yamaha but i went with this one because of the mute buttons and the yamaha vs mackie vs beighner video. so i went with this one on top of that the yamamha was sold out on amazon. :D so i came back here worried my mic was not working but that 48v Button the red light indictor , i didnt pressed. i pressed it and now its working :D thanks bro. also those that got this audio interface and it isnt showing up in your WINDOWS 10 drivers or your computer using the usb connection .. you have to download their DRIVERS and then it will show up on your obs studio.
The one knob compression. When adjusted I'm not hearing much of a difference. Not sure if it's because the usb recording is not really affected or because it acts more like a limiter. There were areas where you spoke softer and the compression to me didn't really level off your voice. Can you advise on this? I'm really considering this mixer. Loving the mute buttons and control room volume but I need compression as well. Thanks
I bought the Mackie ProDX10v3 for my 2 pc Twitch Live stream setup (mostly to get away from voicemeeter) I know its probably a big ask but if you could do and in depth "how to setup 2 pc's with Mackie" I know myself and I'm sure a good bit of other ppl might find it very helpful. how to route the 2 pc's for alerts, game, music, discord and such. Either way, I love your videos and find them super useful. Liked and subbed! Cheers!
Hi...your videos are very clear and informative....nicely explained with minor details...i have connected this mixer to my samsung A34 but its not working...seems it does not recognize the mixer. I have tried recording with other apps but it was in vain...any idea how to make it work. Thanks
I have this mixer and The video is really helpful (especially abt input set up) . Could you plz do a video abt how to set up for output to the speakers (including monitor speakers) for sound quality. Thanks
Excellent Video! Really helped in the understanding of the Mackie. I would love to see a video for the FX6v3, as an entry level console. Also - In my setup I have to crank the Gain almost all the way up to get any input from the mic. Do you have any suggestions here? I followed the video but no luck so far :(
Thank you so much for the review. Could you please help to give more detail in the "insert"? For example, can I use it to hook up to an external EQ? if yes, could you please help to guide me the detail of how I can do it (in term of input/output to my EQ)? Thank you so much.
Great video, thanks. I've a ProFx12 but i assume you didn't explain the difference between the two jack's that are on input 3 and input 4 (LINE IN 3 & LINE IN 4). Is it possible to explain the difference between these tow jacks? Thanks.
Hi there ! I’ve been using this mixer for quite some time for digital audio recordings n for streaming etc but I haven’t used the mixer for live events nor any public events or house events or function since I didn’t have a powered speaker… so as i was going through the mackie website for buying a powered speaker i came across through the mackie thump go speaker basically a battery powered speaker so i needed guidance in buying the speaker before I actually purchase the speaker so…regarding that I had an question regarding the thump go speaker…since its a battery powered speaker can we connect the mackie profx10v3 to the mackie thump go speaker is it applicable to use the speaker by connecting the mixer to the speaker will it work or no…also another question since the mackie profx10v3 doesn’t come with an inbuilt amplifier so we should be using a powered speaker which has an inbuilt amplifier…so is the profx10v3 fit to use the thump go speaker…please do let me know cuz ill be purchasing a mackie powered speaker so i want to clarify the doubt before buying the speaker…also is 200w powered speaker enough to use the mackie profx10v3 mixer because the thump go speaker is 200w
In Mackie ProfxV2 series there were problems in India regarding shocks while inserting mic in the mic socket....is the same problem in ProfxV2 as well...can u plz confirm?
Excellent demo....thanks. Just a couple of questions. How do the Mackie mic preamps compare to those on the Yamaha MG10XU?.....and have you done a vid on using the Mackie to multitrack with the Pro Tools software? Thanks again....I'm about to move from away from my Yamaha AW1600...
Really helpful video. I have a 2007 Macbook --- can I safely assume that for recording purposes, the USB ports on my Mac will not be outdated for this mixer? I am currently using RCA to 1/8 TRS from my VLZ4 into my 1/8 input to my Macbook. Once plugged in, will the input choice automatically show up in my Sound settings window?
Thanks for the video. I’ve had the Pro FX12 for years and just got the Pro FX22v3. What I didn’t realize was that there’s no graphic equalizer sliders on the v3. I’m used to that on the old version and wondering if there’s no need or if I should tie in an equalizer. Old school here and like to really tune my live sound. Thanks!
Very useful and well made video, thank you!!! why there is no left & right marking on channel 3 line inputs for stereo separation ? Does it mean it takes only one of those line inputs at a time ?
Hi Jordan, I have just bought this mixer, thinking I could get away with the un balanced cables from my computer to the desk, I run virtual DJ and would like the sound to come from the computer through the mixer, but I have watched a few of your vids and it maybe me but it looks like you only use the computer to record, would I be right, if not could you help me with this or do I have to get an AI BOX. Hope you can help. keep up the good work. John from london.
If you're working on your desk, you should be able to use the USB connectivity or unbalanced cables without issue. If you do hear a fluttering sound or other interference, then try to reroute your cables away from electronics or get a di box. But you should be fine without. This is exactly what I do at my desk.
@@kettnercreative Hi thanks for the quick reply, but I think I have sorted it I need to set up chanel 3-4 in the sound card settings, so it comes through the main mix out. I hope this is right.👌👌👌
Thanks for the lovely and detailed review. Do you know if it’s possible to use it with an ipad daw and playback from the ipad to the main speakers whilst also recording into the ipad? thanks!
Great explanation Jordan. I just bought one with a Focusrite Interface to connect with my Macbook but it seems from your video this additional interface is not needed am I right? Or can it help? Thanks
Can I select different effect for different inputs, together in a mix. Or only it serves one channel. Also how it is compared to onyx 8. Thankyou for detail explanation.
Any drivers req to install in Mackie for Mac or it's like with some internal setting changes its plug and play? As I will be using GarageBand...Kindly ans
I guess my main disconnect is what is the difference between USB 1/2 and USB 3/4 and how can I leverage the two? I have the mixer hooked up to my iMac and anything I play with only seems to impact the USB 1/2 channel. Toggling the Line in 9/10 and USB 3/4 button doesn't seem to have any impact for me. What conceptually am I missing? Thank you!
On another video titled "How To Setup A Sound System", you mention that if you're connecting an iphone/ipad with a cable that is longer than 10ft, you need a Di box. Does that apply to this model if I'm going into line 9/10?
I bought the ProFX10 v3, and I'm not able to get that crystal sound on my OBS, I wish my livestreams sounds like your example from the 13:20 mark. I added filters to the audio capture in OBS but still something is missing. I may have changed something on my laptop or OBS and I didn't noticed.
I have a question connecting that same mixer to a Bose L1 Pro32. I looked online if I should use mixer XLR out L/R to bose input XLR or TRS. The L1 is mono so I’m not sure if it matter where my out should go left or right of the mixer and should I put the pan to L or R or middle? I’m very new to analog mixer. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. When you engage Phantom power, does it assign to a specific line? How do you control where it is applied? Won't it hurt lines that have other thing plugged in if they do no accept phantom power? Thanks.
It goes to all lines at the same time. It will not hurt any modern dynamic microphone. Your only risk is if you're using a Ribbon microphone which is extremely unlikely.
Hello. We bought one for church and connect it to a power but the power keeps shutting off when we are playing all the instruments for more than 30 minutes (The brand name of the power is Audiopipe). I would like to know if the profx30v2 is a powered mixer? What would be the best power to use?
Thank you so much for the video. Your videos are in fact so nicely structured, really appreciate. I have question: if I'm sending the USB input (a background music) along with the microphone (some yoga instruction) back to the USB... Doesn't that lead to a loop? This is a situation when I'm conducting online yoga classes.
Awesome video! I’m using it to setup our mics for live streaming. One question? How do I monitor the live stream audio? If I add the USB 3/4 into the mixer the live stream video music comes through the main church speakers which is not desirable when the stream is running a countdown timer video for example? Thanks!
Every channel in my Mackie ProFX12 V2 went out one by one! I used electronic music gear such as synthesizers and samplers. They don’t require a di so what happened? The mixer is in almost new condition! My guess is you get what you pay for.
Hi, thank you very much for your great videos! Are there any original Mackie-Asio-drivers? And if yes: how is the latency for example compared to a Focusrite audio interface? Thanks for some infomations...
I don't believe you covered the USB port in the back of the unit. I have a home recording studio with an Allen & Heath ZED 60 mixer, for my Studio One Pro DAW. I bought this unit today to use for my Live Solo Gigs, along with one EVE Powered Speaker. But I would like to hook it up to my I-Pad or small Laptop, if I want to play some music before I start my gig. Down the road, I might also like to create backing tracks of my original released songs, with the Show Page in Studio One, and would like to hook up my Laptop for that. OR if I want to use the Laptop for song sheets. Thank you, a VERY good video. PS.....I got a good deal on this unit from the local Sam Ash Music store, cause the store is closing at the end of June or so. Got 50% off my EV powered speaker.
I have a problem connecting two stereo sources into line 5/6 and 7/8. I have a drum machine and a drum pad connected (only the drum pad is audible) and no sound from the drum machine. I've checked each independently in those chanels and they work if only one stereo source is plugged in. Hmm, any advice?
Thanks for doing those videos, it’s great. My recording problem with the Mackie ProFX10V3: I use a click track but, it leaks through the track I’m recording, even if the mic is muted. Any thoughts. I used the Pro Tool One that is now discontinued with no tech support but, I currently use Nuendo and the same problem occurs. Thanks
This. was. amazing. Thank you! I do have a question -- can you pair a phantom power condenser mic with a dynamic mic? Does it matter that there isn't a phantom power for specific channels? Thanks!
You definitely can. The vast majority of Dynamic Mics will not be effected at all. A very small minority of dynamic mics (unbalanced dynamic mics) will have obvious issues (buzzing) but are unlikely to be damaged by phantom power. Ribbon mics are the ones that have a very low tolerance for phantom power.
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought this unit for my practice sessions mostly which I will be connecting my mic and keyboard to directly. I know this is a non powered mixer. In the event I want to connect my passive speakers, what is the cheapest solution for an amp to use to drive the passive speakers. Thank you for your time.
There are a lot of variables for combining the correct amp to the correct speaker and unfortunately we don't offer consulting on this type of thing. We recommend simply to purchase a powered speaker.
Thank you for this video it helped me understand this mixer. Question: I'm using this mixer to lay down one track at a time of brass instruments (quartets,etc). I am not set up to record to computer and I will be using a Tascam 2488/neo for recording. Can I take the xlr outputs and connect them directly to Tascam inputs? Any other recommendations are welcomed.
I need a help! I am using USB-B output for first time on this mixer for Live Streaming. The output volume to speakers sounds great but when listening in live streaming the audio is too low. How can I keep the output to speakers same and increase the volume for USB-B output? I am also getting hiss noise which is very noticeable in live streams.
I have this Mackie Profx10v3 but im having a problem sending out my track audio into my streaming device. The viewers on my stream can hear my microphone but they cant hear the music which is coming from my PC/tablet and sent to the mixer. I would really appreciate if you will be able to help me figure out. Thank a lot

The yahmaha is so ass don’t even waste your time or money on it
You explained this so much clearer than every other review I’ve seen on this mixer.
Glad you found it helpful!

I’ve been using this mixer for quite some time for digital audio recordings n for streaming etc but I haven’t used the mixer for live events nor any public events or house events or function since I didn’t have a powered speaker… so as i was going through the mackie website for buying a powered speaker i came across through the mackie thump go speaker basically a battery powered speaker so i needed guidance in buying the speaker before I actually purchase the speaker so…regarding that I had an question regarding the thump go speaker…since its a battery powered speaker can we connect the mackie profx10v3 to the mackie thump go speaker is it applicable to use the speaker by connecting the mixer to the speaker will it work or no…also another question since the mackie profx10v3 doesn’t come with an inbuilt amplifier so we should be using a powered speaker which has an inbuilt amplifier…so is the profx10v3 fit to use the thump go speaker…please do let me know cuz ill be purchasing a mackie powered speaker so i want to clarify the doubt before buying the speaker…also is 200w powered speaker enough to use the mackie profx10v3 mixer because the thump go speaker is 200w
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Really helpful!
In Mackie ProfxV2 series there were problems in India regarding shocks while inserting mic in the mic socket....is the same problem in ProfxV2 as well...can u plz confirm?
I've never heard of people getting shocks from the ProFX
Very helpful video, nicely explained.
Now the most imp question is which one shud I buy This Mackie version or Yamaha Mg10xu...most demanded video...plz make
We did
Wow - super helpful. Thank you so much!
Thanks Man just ordered one......Appreciate your details
Excellent demo....thanks. Just a couple of questions. How do the Mackie mic preamps compare to those on the Yamaha MG10XU?.....and have you done a vid on using the Mackie to multitrack with the Pro Tools software? Thanks again....I'm about to move from away from my Yamaha AW1600...
Jordan sir.. Please reply... Mg10xu best or profx10v3
Really helpful video. I have a 2007 Macbook --- can I safely assume that for recording purposes, the USB ports on my Mac will not be outdated for this mixer? I am currently using RCA to 1/8 TRS from my VLZ4 into my 1/8 input to my Macbook. Once plugged in, will the input choice automatically show up in my Sound settings window?
Thanks for the video. I’ve had the Pro FX12 for years and just got the Pro FX22v3. What I didn’t realize was that there’s no graphic equalizer sliders on the v3. I’m used to that on the old version and wondering if there’s no need or if I should tie in an equalizer. Old school here and like to really tune my live sound. Thanks!
Very useful and well made video, thank you!!! why there is no left & right marking on channel 3 line inputs for stereo separation ? Does it mean it takes only one of those line inputs at a time ?
Hi Jordan, I have just bought this mixer, thinking I could get away with the un balanced cables from my computer to the desk, I run virtual DJ and would like the sound to come from the computer through the mixer, but I have watched a few of your vids and it maybe me but it looks like you only use the computer to record, would I be right, if not could you help me with this or do I have to get an AI BOX. Hope you can help. keep up the good work. John from london.
If you're working on your desk, you should be able to use the USB connectivity or unbalanced cables without issue. If you do hear a fluttering sound or other interference, then try to reroute your cables away from electronics or get a di box. But you should be fine without. This is exactly what I do at my desk.
@@kettnercreative Hi thanks for the quick reply, but I think I have sorted it I need to set up chanel 3-4 in the sound card settings, so it comes through the main mix out. I hope this is right.👌👌👌
Thanks for the lovely and detailed review.
Do you know if it’s possible to use it with an ipad daw and playback from the ipad to the main speakers whilst also recording into the ipad? thanks!
I have this mixer and am trying to figure out where I should place the microphone with a grand piano. Do you any videos that might pertain to this?
Thank you sir for your packaged information
This video was worth it if only for the single knob compressor functionality 👍🏽
Great explanation Jordan. I just bought one with a Focusrite Interface to connect with my Macbook but it seems from your video this additional interface is not needed am I right? Or can it help? Thanks
Can I select different effect for different inputs, together in a mix. Or only it serves one channel. Also how it is compared to onyx 8. Thankyou for detail explanation.
Any drivers req to install in Mackie for Mac or it's like with some internal setting changes its plug and play? As I will be using GarageBand...Kindly ans
It's plug and play for any Apple device.
@@kettnercreative thnk u so much for all ur replies
I guess my main disconnect is what is the difference between USB 1/2 and USB 3/4 and how can I leverage the two? I have the mixer hooked up to my iMac and anything I play with only seems to impact the USB 1/2 channel. Toggling the Line in 9/10 and USB 3/4 button doesn't seem to have any impact for me. What conceptually am I missing? Thank you!
gracias por las clases que das demasiado interesantes y muy entendibles bendiciones
On another video titled "How To Setup A Sound System", you mention that if you're connecting an iphone/ipad with a cable that is longer than 10ft, you need a Di box. Does that apply to this model if I'm going into line 9/10?
I bought the ProFX10 v3, and I'm not able to get that crystal sound on my OBS, I wish my livestreams sounds like your example from the 13:20 mark. I added filters to the audio capture in OBS but still something is missing. I may have changed something on my laptop or OBS and I didn't noticed.
I have a question connecting that same mixer to a Bose L1 Pro32. I looked online if I should use mixer XLR out L/R to bose input XLR or TRS. The L1 is mono so I’m not sure if it matter where my out should go left or right of the mixer and should I put the pan to L or R or middle? I’m very new to analog mixer. Thanks.
What is the best usb Mixer with "Direct FXs for Monitoring only" capability, while recording a track?
Thanks for this video. When you engage Phantom power, does it assign to a specific line? How do you control where it is applied? Won't it hurt lines that have other thing plugged in if they do no accept phantom power? Thanks.
It goes to all lines at the same time. It will not hurt any modern dynamic microphone. Your only risk is if you're using a Ribbon microphone which is extremely unlikely.
Which preamp best yamaha or mackie? Please reply sir...
Another nice clear video. Thanks. So is there a master control to turn down/off the usb output to a computer?
Not on this particular mixer.
Question… does pushing the phantom power button on this mixer send power to both mic jacks? Would that damage your dynamic mic in jack 1?
Hello. We bought one for church and connect it to a power but the power keeps shutting off when we are playing all the instruments for more than 30 minutes (The brand name of the power is Audiopipe). I would like to know if the profx30v2 is a powered mixer?
What would be the best power to use?
Thank you so much for the video. Your videos are in fact so nicely structured, really appreciate.
I have question: if I'm sending the USB input (a background music) along with the microphone (some yoga instruction) back to the USB... Doesn't that lead to a loop? This is a situation when I'm conducting online yoga classes.
You have to use 1/2, disable 3/4 and the loop will be gone :).
Awesome video! I’m using it to setup our mics for live streaming. One question? How do I monitor the live stream audio? If I add the USB 3/4 into the mixer the live stream video music comes through the main church speakers which is not desirable when the stream is running a countdown timer video for example? Thanks!
Every channel in my Mackie ProFX12 V2 went out one by one! I used electronic music gear such as synthesizers and samplers. They don’t require a di so what happened? The mixer is in almost new condition! My guess is you get what you pay for.
Hi, thank you very much for your great videos! Are there any original Mackie-Asio-drivers? And if yes: how is the latency for example compared to a Focusrite audio interface? Thanks for some infomations...
I don't believe you covered the USB port in the back of the unit. I have a home recording studio with an Allen & Heath ZED 60 mixer, for my Studio One Pro DAW. I bought this unit today to use for my Live Solo Gigs, along with one EVE Powered Speaker. But I would like to hook it up to my I-Pad or small Laptop, if I want to play some music before I start my gig. Down the road, I might also like to create backing tracks of my original released songs, with the Show Page in Studio One, and would like to hook up my Laptop for that. OR if I want to use the Laptop for song sheets. Thank you, a VERY good video. PS.....I got a good deal on this unit from the local Sam Ash Music store, cause the store is closing at the end of June or so. Got 50% off my EV powered speaker.
Is the ProFX mixer better than 1202 vlz4, worse, or just completely different?
I have a problem connecting two stereo sources into line 5/6 and 7/8. I have a drum machine and a drum pad connected (only the drum pad is audible) and no sound from the drum machine. I've checked each independently in those chanels and they work if only one stereo source is plugged in. Hmm, any advice?
Thanks for doing those videos, it’s great. My recording problem with the Mackie ProFX10V3: I use a click track but, it leaks through the track I’m recording, even if the mic is muted. Any thoughts. I used the Pro Tool One that is now discontinued with no tech support but, I currently use Nuendo and the same problem occurs.
Thanks
Great tutorial. One question. How do I connect my vocal effect unit in. The layout is different to my mackie cfx12 mk2. Tia
Good idea, I'll make a video on this soon.
Hi there, if I have two mics plugged in how many guitars could I have plugged in? Thanks a lot
This. was. amazing. Thank you! I do have a question -- can you pair a phantom power condenser mic with a dynamic mic? Does it matter that there isn't a phantom power for specific channels? Thanks!
You definitely can. The vast majority of Dynamic Mics will not be effected at all. A very small minority of dynamic mics (unbalanced dynamic mics) will have obvious issues (buzzing) but are unlikely to be damaged by phantom power.
Ribbon mics are the ones that have a very low tolerance for phantom power.
One newbie question: Is it possible to use the laptop's mic line in to route in the mix out of the mixer (without an external audio interface)?
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought this unit for my practice sessions mostly which I will be connecting my mic and keyboard to directly. I know this is a non powered mixer. In the event I want to connect my passive speakers, what is the cheapest solution for an amp to use to drive the passive speakers. Thank you for your time.
There are a lot of variables for combining the correct amp to the correct speaker and unfortunately we don't offer consulting on this type of thing. We recommend simply to purchase a powered speaker.
Thank you for this video it helped me understand this mixer. Question: I'm using this mixer to lay down one track at a time of brass instruments (quartets,etc). I am not set up to record to computer and I will be using a Tascam 2488/neo for recording. Can I take the xlr outputs and connect them directly to Tascam inputs? Any other recommendations are welcomed.
You can do that, or you can use the USB output of the mixer.
I need a help!
I am using USB-B output for first time on this mixer for Live Streaming. The output volume to speakers sounds great but when listening in live streaming the audio is too low. How can I keep the output to speakers same and increase the volume for USB-B output? I am also getting hiss noise which is very noticeable in live streams.
Thanks for the video. So could I use the FX send to go to an outboard FX unit like a regular aux? Then just return to a stereo channel? Cheers
Just one question 🙋🏾♂️, when you switch on the 48v for the compressor microphone on input 2, will it not also affect the dynamic on input 1?
Quick question, does USB 1-2 only come out Headphone and control room or can it come out of main out too?
Only headphone/control room. You need to use 3-4 for main out.
Which is better? Mackie or Yamaha mg10xu?
Yo la compré y me ha gustado, que software puedo usar ?
so does it connect straight up to your daw as an interface or is usb just for playing music kinda thing
have you managed to compare the Allen & heath zedi-10fx with the Mackie?
makkieprofx30m10v412kml 2.0 such a great name for a product
I have this Mackie Profx10v3 but im having a problem sending out my track audio into my streaming device. The viewers on my stream can hear my microphone but they cant hear the music which is coming from my PC/tablet and sent to the mixer. I would really appreciate if you will be able to help me figure out. Thank a lot
Hello, Mr. Jordan
does the mute button impact the USB output?
