What I like to see is how this device is connected by various types of cables to each inputs and outputs eg. speakers, TV, laptop, amplifier, smartphone, tablets etc. Thank you.
Hi Paul, Hi Kyle. I AM an audiophile of sorts. I graduated from UCSD with a B.A. in ICAM; Basically a music technology degree. With the compressor, you're not adding an "amount" to the signal, like when adding the other effects like chorus or delay. The knob for the compressor is setting the threshold in decibels for when the compressor is activated. If sound coming into the line is above that set threshold, the compressor is activated and compresses the signal. How much it is compressed is dependent upon the compression ratio you choose. If you need a sound guy to help you set up, answer audio tech questions, or just help you get familiarized, I'd love to help you guys. I live just outside LA, Ventura County, and all I would want in return is a thumbscrew T-shirt :P haha. Anyway, have fun with the new gear and the fun new effects. Can't wait to see you use it on the next Awesome Hardware. Keep up the great work guys. I'm gonna build my own computer for music production soon because of your channels.
Computer-Aided Manufacturing in the music industry, not sure what your major is, but you got some degree i guess. pulse-code modulation, PCM sound, a codec to encode sound! You only need the same codec running to reproduce, to do the encoding to analog signals. It's kind of easy, the less compression the better, lossless streams work the best, but is your player able to reproduce it again, or does it go back to a less good ratio, because your player can't play > 19k2 steams, there the tresh hold comes, when it's producing a less good analog signal then the source is. So try to decode the stream to the original signal again, too highest rate as possible that your DAC can reproduce, the less compression the better! You don't need a sound guy at all here, just basic knowledge about codecs enough here! Keep the signal on the original format, the decoding DAC in the last step of the process, in the headset or DAC to the speaker set, some speakers can do that job too, inducing a DAC in the speaker set. You don't need any soundcards for that, onboard codes are the best these days!
Wolff_O_Matic Garage studio, you need a Mic, you do reviews too, need some pocket money? Format? RUclips is just the same everywhere, crying for subscribers, giveaways, crying community.....New Gear they all need, but why? buying crap makes them happy.....
He is just promoting products he bought, his job! Onboard codecs are the best, not needing any bullshit! Just buy a good DAC AMP too, not needing any crap here!
New mic and sound board are much better. Couldn't tell much on my iPhones internal speaker, but with my Bose headphones- it was significantly more pleasing- to my ears at least
Love these types of videos! Please do more of them as you get new stuff. Wouldn’t of minded an extra 5 minutes, or even more, of you playing around with it. Pure hardware videos can get stale after awhile, these always break them up enough to keep things really interesting. The behind the scene type of hardware that allow for all the magic to happen always seem really interesting. It’s like Linus’s fascination with servers. Am I ever going to have full server rack full of high-end commercial hardware that I could store and edit hundreds of hours of 8K video on? No. Do I absolutely love watching his videos on them? YASSSSS
exactly how i would see it - things we wouldnt buy ourself since we dont have any use for it but its fun to see how your (Paul, Kyle, Linus,etc.) setup works and runs i think thats even more fun than having the 10th. review of a 1080 ti or just another AIO Cooler because after benchmarking most of the stuff lands on some shelf - but tech like the Yamahasoundboard/mixer is something we are experiencing regularly on your channel and its fun to know which tech u r using to run your channel (even all the kinks and probs u got with it - probably even a possible new segment: 'tech i use that drives me nuts ;)' ) so keep on doing these kind of 'random' tech videos because technophiles are always curious :)
compression kinda like volume normalization (compression kinda sacrifices clarity of whatever sound), windows used to have this option available in the sound control panel. TVs need this piece of tech tbh, for those late night movie nights when we don't want to be suddenly startled by a very loud SFX out of nowhere. regular broadcasting is guilty of this too, where ads might be super loud but the main show is significantly quieter.
Kudos to you. Thanks for taking the initiative to provide a higher quality viewing experience for us. It wasn't bad before, but I'm sure you can have fun with the different voice effects and add some new moves to your repertoire.
Buy a hat , grow a proper beard learn to speak like a 1750 goldminer , go all the time whit the radio voice and you'll reach 1.000.000 sub in a week for sure
It's really easy to go overboard with compression. If you can hear it working most times your compressor is grabbing too hard. Basically try the comp knob at 75%. love the content. 😎👍
at first watching this video I had no plans to buy an audio mixer for the future. but uh because of 8:16 that voice has convinced me into buying one but not just yet.
Funny I have this exact model on my Amazon Wishlist, I've just added a note to it with a link to this video so I can come back and watch again when I finally save up the cash, thanks :-)
Sir i have bought mg10xu for home recording purpose ,but when i strat to record ,i found that my mixer gave me recording vocal output along with very irritating hissing sound ,also recorded vocal output is very low in sound .so does this means my mg10xu is a faulty unit ,bcoz in your video ,the sound is amazing louder and noice free . Please help me by replying,thankyou
Can you hook up an Android Smartphone to the Yamaha MG10XU Mixer for the purpose of recording (with software on PC of course) a two-way phone conversation for a podcast? If the answer is yes, what would the connections be on this Mixing Board?
Lythrynn Why you need this, they sell so many toys, not able to buy any? why, no money? Were you need this for, you make tunes, what is it you can't do now, that you need this board?
Hello. I've used the MG10XU for announcing football & soccer(stadium use). I always press down/on the pad/26db button just below the XLR insert for the microphone(far left). If in the pad/up position, it seems to pick up too much surrounding sound. When pushed in (26db), less sound goes into the mic. I'm trying to use the board now for online video (think youtube), production as I'm a teacher forced to work from home. Do you have a better explanation of this button? Thank you in advance,
heyyyy sir. Im getting feedback without turning anything else on. that green monitor on my Yamaha is up to about 45. my XLR was loose once, and I tightened it and that fixed it. any ideas? thanks.
Will this Audio Mixer do the job, i use a digital mic amp for that, that does the job, beatbox history tool..... i hope Paul will use all the sound effects and phony voices that it creates! Pimping his channel! We need Zombie people that do reviews, doing theme builds!
Helpful video! Thank you: I hope you can help with a problem I am having with a mixer in this series: I am not getting audio to go from MG16XU audio mixer to my computer. What am I doing wrong? Here is what I am doing: I am using the MG16XU to feed my dedicated streaming computer's OBS studio. (My computer has an i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20Ghz, 16GB RAM [soon to be 32GB], 64-bit OS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and 1TB HD.) I downloaded and installed Yamaha's Steinberg USB driver V1.9.10-2 for Win 10/8.1/7(SP1) (32bit/64bit). I have a USB A/B 2.0 cable going from the mixer to my computer. (In accordance with the guidance from the manufacturers manual, I am using a USB 2.0 cable instead of a 3.0.) I have tried connecting the cable to the computer's USB 2.0 input and the USB 3.0 input. In both cases, my computer recognizes the MG-XU, and in the device manager I set it as the default. The MG-XU mixer’s level meter displays appropriate levels, and I hear audio via headset in the mixer’s RCA Monitor Out. Lastly, I have tried setting the LINE / USB to either setting to no avail. Despite my effort, I am not able to transmit audio via USB to my computer for OBS. Again, what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Tom Jr.
Does the eliminate the need for a dac/amp to drive a high ohm headphones? I was planning on getting a Mayflower arc dac/amp (the replacement of the O2) to drive my high resistance headphones, and then I started looking for a mixing board to use for RUclips and Twitch so if this can eliminate the need for the Arc then it would basically pay for itself there.
Anyone else have problems with Yamaha MG10XU on Windows 10 after a while when just listening to music that audio cuts/clicks/pops and if you open Yamaha Controller Software you get Audio Interruption Due to USB? seems common when i googled but havent heard a single reviewer talk about this problem with this Mixer yet.
So from this video, possibly by accident, I learned that Monoprice has a mixer! I didn't realize they had one. I'm looking for something closer to the $60/$70 range than $200. Very helpful video all the way around! Thanks!
Did your new mixer come with an audio drive disk, or built in drivers? I just bought a Yamaha PMX808D-USB powered 8 channel mixer that came with no disk for the audio interface, and my computer will not recognize the mixer board, or the mic plugged into it. I've searched all over the internet and even went to the Yamaha site to find a driver, to no avail. Any ideas for me? Thanks!
I hate it when someone says, "I have no idea what I'm talking about but..." Take two seconds and do a little research, fer cryin' out loud! What's a "compressor" do? Now I gotta go look it up...sheesh! Complete waste of time...get the hell off RUclips, geek!
Is it possible to send effect 1 say hall in input 1 and effect 2 say chorus1 in input 2 ?? If yes then how ? If no, then is there a way to achieve this with exceeding budget... Actually what I want to achieve is I want a particular effect for main singer And a chorus effect for my guitarist friends who do back vocals with me... Is is feasible to achieve with mg10xu... Or is there any other same price mixer which can help me to achieve this?
Sweet water is a great company but fucking annoying as hell. I used to be big into audio production. I haven't bought anything from them since 2011 and they still call me asking me to buy stuff. Like literally I got a call a month or two ago saying 'hey you havent bought anything in a while. What are you looking to pick up? ' the service is top notch but they will bug the hell out of you.
The "one nob compressor " is for consumer grade poeple. With a big youtuber like you , you should try an external compressor with more tweak options that you can plug it in the "insert" 1/4 inch with the proper insert cable. ( scuse my french ) 😎
I know this isnt about the video but... I am thinking about buying a gaming pc. This is my components: CPU: Intel core i5 6400 (2.7 GHz) GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB expedition OC) RAM: Corsair 12GB Vengeance (1600Mhz) CPU-Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270P-D3 SSD: Kingston 240GB G2 M.2 HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB Fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet edition (+2 fans from the case) Case: Be quiet! Pure Base 600 window (Black) Power Supply: Corsair VS350 350W I'm not a gaming pc pro, but I know the basics, do you guys have any thoughts about this build? I play all different sorts of games.
my question is, how do you record it? I am planning to get this soundboard for podcast at my company but I do not want to connect it to my computer because I know it can slow it down more, how do I record myself from this soundboard and have connect to a USB or something and pass that to my computer so I can edit it through my computer later on. I see that device behind the software on your video, I was wondering if that was something else to record the soundboard and if its, what is called?
Now Sweetwater will call you 10000000 times and send you those catalogs ad nauseam. Anyway, the MG10XU is pretty nice...at least it has been for me. Running AT2020's through it I have to crank the gain up more than I expected would be necessary. It took me a while to accept that. I kept trying to find solutions to get a stronger signal, but after I just got used to cranking the gain and line level (to around 75% each) it's all been fine. I was concerned about long-term effects, but that doesn't seem to be an issue.
hsppy #NGD that mic is a total win compression squashes transients (spikes) which makes softer sounds appear louder giving you a better sound too much and it sounds like garbage
Paul and viewers..quick silly question. I have both SSDs and HDDs in my system. My OS and games are on SSDs. The only thing I use the HDDs for is storage. But being a big gamer does having HDDs in my system, slow my PC down in any way? Should I simply put SSDs in my next build?
Hey Paul have you though about getting a shotgun/hypercardiod mic instead of using the Monoprice ones? They would do a way better job at picking you up since you keep them out of frame and away from your mouth. Some good ones that I can recommend with my solid but lacking experience are the Rode NTG 1 and the Deity S-mic , they would pick up less noise and echo from your Studio and would sound more full at that distance. Love your content, keep up the good work!
I ended up buying this mixer based the demo, but it fucked up after like 6 months. My inputs went super quiet, so I cranked em up (for mic while I was gaming/broadcasting), then after a while it started cutting in and out, now I have no signal from any of my inputs. Not sure what the problem is, but it wasn't worth fucking around with so I just bought a traditional audio interface and have had no troubles.
You could have used Reaper's free VST plugins, but you could have done a lot worse than the MG10XU. Yamaha's pre-amps are my favorite. I've got the MG16XU myself.
at 4:30.... lol it´s an analog mixing desk. it doesn't´t have DACs over ADCs... But what you´re trying to say @paulshardware is right: it´s probably got much better pre-amps ;)
yes it does sound much better but i had to listen to this and not look at the screen while i listened to hear the difference. Subtle, at first but after a second listen it DOES SOUND MUCH BETTER. For the price difference... WHY NOT?!
Different but still good. I’m sure other viewers will get something out of this too. The evil overlord voice should be used when introducing Wicked news like Intel announced “We don’t believe our users should be able to overclock our CPUs without paying for a Premium unlocked processor” it would add that extra evil flair
I hook it up to my Yamaha HS8 with my MG10XU. Put the out line as "MG-XU". Still no sound. Is there like a button am I supposed to click on the Mixer for the audio to come to the speakers?
Any1 doing voice over & budget allows, look into the Aphex Channel or the older version Aphex 230 (on the used market). You get alot of signal processing in 1U rack space. #Sweetwater is one of the better pro audio gear dealers.
finally no more ear bleeding during swordfight because of Kyles screaming... Or during Johnsen shoutouts. Or during everything else when Kyle gets emotional. #blamekyle love you kyle :* (nohomo)
Compressors, sound boards, equalizers, fxs, interfaces, converters, sound cards. Playing with these things with more cost sometimes does not beat a good source set up. Don't listen everything from those viewers. Or at least take a pinch of salt with it. For simple broadcasting you don't really need a lot of stuff and could have saved unnecessary costs.
You so need to use the demon sound for intros for AH. But make it a bit better than fires.. And stuff.. That was so a Kyle line. C'mon Paul, no more Kyleisms. Next thing you know, you will be opening bottles of beer towards yourself and blinding urself with the Cork 😆😆
Probably wont see this but if you can get your hands on the new Coffee Lake series, can you do a review on the I3 8350k and the I5 8400? Building a PC right now and i plan to use one of them but I don't know which would be better as i want to start video editing.
Well, I completely misunderstood what the hell USB meant on this mixer. I have a Blue Yeti microphone and I thought that you hooked the mixer directly to the usb port of the microphone to get the audio to the mixer from the mic. Apparently I was wrong and at this point I'm a little freaking confused. What the hell good is USB on a mixer if it's not to plug directly to a USB microphone?
I don't know much, is it possible to buy a single or double channel hardware EQ. And use that to mix (add the hardware tone character) all channels of a song in a daw. One channel or instrument at a time. And then on the master mix use it also. And then can I repeat this type of process with other analog equipment like compressor or delays. I'm thinking how much is possible to do with cheapest options. more creativity less money
Ok. I wish I could have saved you money there’s really good compressors that would have easily been patched in to the front of the mixer or converter. Some analogue devices hit the sweet spot. There is such a thing as too transparent. In music I’d prefer to get multiple inputs and compression can be used before or after in mastering. In podcasts I’d compress and use eq for correcting any sound.
Jhon Emile Curi Antun 1 second ago i don´t know why every video i´ve seen they only use just 1 input and try the efects only. does the mg10xu work like a real mixer endeed .. !?? REPLY
Do you find the serration useful on that knife? I got the straight one and just wondered if i am missing out. Now you have a compressor you need to normalize your volume to 23LUFS.
New intro at 5:22 😂😂😂
I agree, new intro!
I'm Batman That ones pretty good too!
Definitely 😂
Yes, pre-record a full one for both halves of the show, just like that. Don't. Tell. Kyle. Just drop it on him unannounced.
dude all of these highlights are amazing
What I like to see is how this device is connected by various types of cables to each inputs and outputs eg. speakers, TV, laptop, amplifier, smartphone, tablets etc. Thank you.

lucas rem what are you even talking about...
CortMarshal
DAC, you have that, or on some Headset, what is your problem? Learn to ask a question, tell what you have, and what you don't get!
lucas rem -stupid
Lucas seems to be mistaking audio dynamics compression with digital file or stream compression. Two totally different topics.
Fantastic Paul. Sounding off on a good note.
LOL Thanks Fred!!
Your old mic and new mic are pretty close in quality honestly.
FlippinFreds Free Form Factor These puns are so ear-ritating
I hear that..
FlippinFreds Free Form Factor I could notice the difference, it's much more clear and the EQ is better.
*watches on crappy cellphone speekers*
Well compression should make a noticable difference even in a smartphone speaker
Interpretation of Kyle is ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON
My room mate just got one of those for the studio. It's fucking bad ass.
2:06 someone is happy af :o
Pretty sure that was an "if i smile no-one will notice that I tried to cut through the cardboard rather than the tape" face.
Flizzy Duck
2.06?? why you cry?? Happy??
Yes, please when ever you get the new gear for the studio. Like the format.
Wolff_O_Matic
Garage studio, you need a Mic, you do reviews too, need some pocket money? Format? RUclips is just the same everywhere, crying for subscribers, giveaways, crying community.....New Gear they all need, but why? buying crap makes them happy.....
It is a "Locking DIN" not a BNC Paul
I've had my MG10XU for about a year. its awesome
Paul please anytime you are on a rant you the demon voice
He is just promoting products he bought, his job!
Onboard codecs are the best, not needing any bullshit! Just buy a good DAC AMP too, not needing any crap here!
lol same music as KidBehindTheCamera :P Just thought i wanted to point that out. Probably royality free music :)
It was fun.Beer and Flamenco always a good combo.
New mic and sound board are much better. Couldn't tell much on my iPhones internal speaker, but with my Bose headphones- it was significantly more pleasing- to my ears at least

exactly how i would see it - things we wouldnt buy ourself since we dont have any use for it
but its fun to see how your (Paul, Kyle, Linus,etc.) setup works and runs
i think thats even more fun than having the 10th. review of a 1080 ti or just another AIO Cooler because after benchmarking most of the stuff lands on some shelf - but tech like the Yamahasoundboard/mixer is something we are experiencing regularly on your channel and its fun to know which tech u r using to run your channel (even all the kinks and probs u got with it - probably even a possible new segment: 'tech i use that drives me nuts ;)' )

holy damn the audio is SO damn nice with the new stuff
are you only recording the audio externally? are you using the usb input at all?
Tech-tubers and audio gear is almost always a hilarious mix ... fun video, guys!
Funny I have this exact model on my Amazon Wishlist, I've just added a note to it with a link to this video so I can come back and watch again when I finally save up the cash, thanks :-)
not gonna lie, when the cork popped out of that bottle. it scared the shhh out of me
like just bcuz i was bored when i check this and now ams sleepy..ty
Best review ever. Needs more Joe though.
Sir i have bought mg10xu for home recording purpose ,but when i strat to record ,i found that my mixer gave me recording vocal output along with very irritating hissing sound ,also recorded vocal output is very low in sound .so does this means my mg10xu is a faulty unit ,bcoz in your video ,the sound is amazing louder and noice free . Please help me by replying,thankyou
I really like the sound of the newer Mic :)
I know you’re not a laptop guy and neither am I, but can you do a “what to look for when shopping for a laptop”
I find your voice pleasant as well Paul.
Can you hook up an Android Smartphone to the Yamaha MG10XU Mixer for the purpose of recording (with software on PC of course) a two-way phone conversation for a podcast? If the answer is yes, what would the connections be on this Mixing Board?
Can you output the main audio from both the XLR and TRS jacks?
Liked before watching cause we already know the video is going to be SICK!
I liked your comment before I even read it!
Please love me....
Are you still using this Paul? I've had mine for years now and I love it.
I NEED THIS PAUL SO MUCH MORE
Lythrynn
Why you need this, they sell so many toys, not able to buy any? why, no money? Were you need this for, you make tunes, what is it you can't do now, that you need this board?
lucas rem I don't need THIS item. I need THIS PAUL. I didn't punctuate.
Hello. I've used the MG10XU for announcing football & soccer(stadium use). I always press down/on the pad/26db button just below the XLR insert for the microphone(far left).

both sound good
I don’t see my peak level left and right flashing up and down. Can you please tell me how to get it to work? Thank you.
I have this mixer as well Paul! Love this thing!
You want to know what i think of the video huh?! I THINK YOU'RE GOD DAMN BEAUTIFUL PAUL!
Sweetwater is awesome and they will call every now and then just to see how you are doing.
My "sales engineer" has never called me after $1,000s spent.
Too bad Kyle doesn't have built in compression... :P :D
I purchased one myself and do not regret it for my streams. It is just awesome.
Disappointed that you tested audio equipment, and then ask for "feedback" at the end and didn't even seem to realise the potential pun..... :-)
heyyyy sir. Im getting feedback without turning anything else on. that green monitor on my Yamaha is up to about 45. my XLR was loose once, and I tightened it and that fixed it. any ideas? thanks.
Thanks Paul. My question is do you need a separate sound card before you can record to cubase for example?
Oh my god, is Kyle finally going to not be ear deafeningly loud over all the rest of the audio on Awesome Hardware?!?!
Sounded great. Anything to tame Kyle is a bonus.
Will this Audio Mixer do the job, i use a digital mic amp for that, that does the job, beatbox history tool..... i hope Paul will use all the sound effects and phony voices that it creates! Pimping his channel! We need Zombie people that do reviews, doing theme builds!
LOVE THE DOORS
Helpful video! Thank you: I hope you can help with a problem I am having with a mixer in this series: I am not getting audio to go from MG16XU audio mixer to my computer. What am I doing wrong? Here is what I am doing: I am using the MG16XU to feed my dedicated streaming computer's OBS studio. (My computer has an i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20Ghz, 16GB RAM [soon to be 32GB], 64-bit OS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and 1TB HD.) I downloaded and installed Yamaha's Steinberg USB driver V1.9.10-2 for Win 10/8.1/7(SP1) (32bit/64bit). I have a USB A/B 2.0 cable going from the mixer to my computer.

This was great! More videos of you just having fun with random tech please. :)
Great little mix board for your application. Soon as I saw what you got I was like, "oh he must have gotten that for the compressors lol
affiliate link to the new mic?
Anyone else have problems with Yamaha MG10XU on Windows 10 after a while when just listening to music that audio cuts/clicks/pops and if you open Yamaha Controller Software you get Audio Interruption Due to USB? seems common when i googled but havent heard a single reviewer talk about this problem with this Mixer yet.
Cool ! And the effects are awesome !
I love how you are socially aware enough to not want to "feed the Amazon beast". Very well put and I feel the same way
8:46 when he sounded like antvenom xD
I loved this video but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FINISH ARCTIC PANTHER !!! It's killing me dude !

I hate it when someone says, "I have no idea what I'm talking about but..."
Take two seconds and do a little research, fer cryin' out loud!
What's a "compressor" do?
Now I gotta go look it up...sheesh!
Complete waste of time...get the hell off RUclips, geek!
sir can i plug it directly to the powerplug? no more avr or something not to cause damage of the mixer?
Is it possible to send effect 1 say hall in input 1 and effect 2 say chorus1 in input 2 ??
If yes then how ?
If no, then is there a way to achieve this with exceeding budget...
Actually what I want to achieve is I want a particular effect for main singer
And a chorus effect for my guitarist friends who do back vocals with me...
Is is feasible to achieve with mg10xu...
Or is there any other same price mixer which can help me to achieve this?
Sweet water is a great company but fucking annoying as hell. I used to be big into audio production. I haven't bought anything from them since 2011 and they still call me asking me to buy stuff. Like literally I got a call a month or two ago saying 'hey you havent bought anything in a while. What are you looking to pick up? ' the service is top notch but they will bug the hell out of you.
that affect paul uses, the "demon" voice. everytime i hear it i think of SGA Todd. that sounds more like wraith to me XD
Sounds good Paul and Joe to he as great to
The "one nob compressor " is for consumer grade poeple. With a big youtuber like you , you should try an external compressor with more tweak options that you can plug it in the "insert" 1/4 inch with the proper insert cable. ( scuse my french ) 😎
The demon voice goes well with the amount of subscribers 666,000.
You should do more Paul, it’s October, time for Halloween . 👍🏻
I know this isnt about the video but...
I am thinking about buying a gaming pc. This is my components:
CPU: Intel core i5 6400 (2.7 GHz)
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB expedition OC)
RAM: Corsair 12GB Vengeance (1600Mhz)
CPU-Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270P-D3
SSD: Kingston 240GB G2 M.2
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet edition (+2 fans from the case)
Case: Be quiet! Pure Base 600 window (Black)
Power Supply: Corsair VS350 350W
I'm not a gaming pc pro, but I know the basics, do you guys have any thoughts about this build? I play all different sorts of games.
Funny !!! Another radio voice saying: “we’ve got a realllll pressure cooker going on here - two down, nobody’s on….” Meatloaf.
my question is, how do you record it? I am planning to get this soundboard for podcast at my company but I do not want to connect it to my computer because I know it can slow it down more, how do I record myself from this soundboard and have connect to a USB or something and pass that to my computer so I can edit it through my computer later on. I see that device behind the software on your video, I was wondering if that was something else to record the soundboard and if its, what is called?
Now Sweetwater will call you 10000000 times and send you those catalogs ad nauseam. Anyway, the MG10XU is pretty nice...at least it has been for me. Running AT2020's through it I have to crank the gain up more than I expected would be necessary. It took me a while to accept that. I kept trying to find solutions to get a stronger signal, but after I just got used to cranking the gain and line level (to around 75% each) it's all been fine. I was concerned about long-term effects, but that doesn't seem to be an issue.
hsppy #NGD that mic is a total win compression squashes transients (spikes) which makes softer sounds appear louder giving you a better sound too much and it sounds like garbage
Paul and viewers..quick silly question. I have both SSDs and HDDs in my system. My OS and games are on SSDs. The only thing I use the HDDs for is storage. But being a big gamer does having HDDs in my system, slow my PC down in any way? Should I simply put SSDs in my next build?
is it enough to power 250 ohms headphones ?
Hey Paul have you though about getting a shotgun/hypercardiod mic instead of using the Monoprice ones? They would do a way better job at picking you up since you keep them out of frame and away from your mouth. Some good ones that I can recommend with my solid but lacking experience are the Rode NTG 1 and the Deity S-mic , they would pick up less noise and echo from your Studio and would sound more full at that distance. Love your content, keep up the good work!
I ended up buying this mixer based the demo, but it fucked up after like 6 months. My inputs went super quiet, so I cranked em up (for mic while I was gaming/broadcasting), then after a while it started cutting in and out, now I have no signal from any of my inputs. Not sure what the problem is, but it wasn't worth fucking around with so I just bought a traditional audio interface and have had no troubles.
You could have used Reaper's free VST plugins, but you could have done a lot worse than the MG10XU. Yamaha's pre-amps are my favorite. I've got the MG16XU myself.
at 4:30.... lol it´s an analog mixing desk. it doesn't´t have DACs over ADCs... But what you´re trying to say @paulshardware is right: it´s probably got much better pre-amps ;)
yes it does sound much better but i had to listen to this and not look at the screen while i listened to hear the difference. Subtle, at first but after a second listen it DOES SOUND MUCH BETTER. For the price difference... WHY NOT?!
Different but still good. I’m sure other viewers will get something out of this too. The evil overlord voice should be used when introducing Wicked news like Intel announced “We don’t believe our users should be able to overclock our CPUs without paying for a Premium unlocked processor” it would add that extra evil flair
I hook it up to my Yamaha HS8 with my MG10XU. Put the out line as "MG-XU". Still no sound. Is there like a button am I supposed to click on the Mixer for the audio to come to the speakers?
Any1 doing voice over & budget allows, look into the Aphex Channel or the older version Aphex 230 (on the used market). You get alot of signal processing in 1U rack space. #Sweetwater is one of the better pro audio gear dealers.
finally no more ear bleeding during swordfight because of Kyles screaming... Or during Johnsen shoutouts. Or during everything else when Kyle gets emotional. #blamekyle
love you kyle :* (nohomo)
Compressors, sound boards, equalizers, fxs, interfaces, converters, sound cards. Playing with these things with more cost sometimes does not beat a good source set up. Don't listen everything from those viewers. Or at least take a pinch of salt with it. For simple broadcasting you don't really need a lot of stuff and could have saved unnecessary costs.
You so need to use the demon sound for intros for AH. But make it a bit better than fires.. And stuff.. That was so a Kyle line. C'mon Paul, no more Kyleisms. Next thing you know, you will be opening bottles of beer towards yourself and blinding urself with the Cork 😆😆
love it all
Probably wont see this but if you can get your hands on the new Coffee Lake series, can you do a review on the I3 8350k and the I5 8400? Building a PC right now and i plan to use one of them but I don't know which would be better as i want to start video editing.
Well, I completely misunderstood what the hell USB meant on this mixer. I have a Blue Yeti microphone and I thought that you hooked the mixer directly to the usb port of the microphone to get the audio to the mixer from the mic. Apparently I was wrong and at this point I'm a little freaking confused. What the hell good is USB on a mixer if it's not to plug directly to a USB microphone?
I don't know much, is it possible to buy a single or double channel hardware EQ. And use that to mix (add the hardware tone character) all channels of a song in a daw. One channel or instrument at a time. And then on the master mix use it also.
And then can I repeat this type of process with other analog equipment like compressor or delays. I'm thinking how much is possible to do with cheapest options. more creativity less money
Ok. I wish I could have saved you money there’s really good compressors that would have easily been patched in to the front of the mixer or converter. Some analogue devices hit the sweet spot. There is such a thing as too transparent. In music I’d prefer to get multiple inputs and compression can be used before or after in mastering. In podcasts I’d compress and use eq for correcting any sound.
That knife sound.. Sheesh! Whatever mic you were using pics up amazing detail.

i don´t know why every video i´ve seen they only use just 1 input and try the efects only.
does the mg10xu work like a real mixer endeed .. !??
REPLY
Do you find the serration useful on that knife? I got the straight one and just wondered if i am missing out. Now you have a compressor you need to normalize your volume to 23LUFS.
You get assigned a personal rep who will call you from time to time. Ive ordered ALOT from sweetwater lol
