Something I noticed while doing research online is that the USB Out on the Yamaha MG10XU is 15dB quieter than the Stereo Out. Apparently Yamaha has acknowledged this to people asking them in customer support. I am using a Shure SM7B + Cloudlifter and noticed that the Monitor sound was reaching 0 on the mixer, but was 15dB too quiet when recording/using OBS. The solution to this for me was buying a 2x 1/4" to 1/8" cable, and routing from the Stereo Out ports on the mixer to the microphone jack on my PC. Same exact settings on the mixer and computer (except now Level Stereo knob was at unity), and it was 15dB louder, and sounding much better. Hopefully this helps anyone still struggling with being too quiet!

@kettnercreative 3 года назад

That isn't my experience at all. With a digital signal, zero is zero. If you have -18 on the console, you'll get -18 in your DAW. In my experience, people who complain about a quiet Yamaha MG10XU are simply not using enough gain.

@specops 3 года назад

@@kettnercreative Hello Please read this - I just checked and -18 on the console over USB does not come out to -18 ( at least for me in OBS meter) like many people have said the USB seems to be -10 db or so quieter for some reason. Can you try to look into this further and find out why Yamaha does this? It would be very helpful to see if these is a fix or why Yamaha chose to do this. Thanks for all the great content!

@specops 3 года назад

Hey guys just to follow up on this post in case it helps anybody - I figured out two important things: 1. 0 on the mixer is actually equal to somewhere around -18 in the digital software ( The reason I understand they do this is because most of the time you want your 0 to be around -18 in your digital because you need to leave some "headroom" in digital because of you go over 0 digital it will clip so this makes sense. So on the mixer I believe PEAK = 0 and 0 = around -18 or so in digital. The 2nd thing I noticed which GREATLY fixed my issue with the sound being about 10 db quitter when using the USB is that the Line out on my Gaming PC ( Asus motherboard) is actually Professional level Line out so instead of going into the -10 line on the mixer ( which was making the signal quitter because this is for non-pro equipment like your iphone etc) I just needed to go into channels 1 - 4 on the mixer because those are Pro Line level just like the output on my asus mobo so I now get the correct sound level it is 10 db louder. I hope this helps!

It's a common complaint of this board - you did a great job explaining each variable and the proper settings / techniques for the hardware - for those who still feel the signal is too low when recording into a DAW, try running "normalize" on the track (especially if the recording is clean to start with)

@kabassa 2 года назад

I inserted an external guitar boost pedal into the mixer(fx send) with a lot of output gain, so I apply the output signal from the boost pedal to the aux button of each channel on the mixer, this gives me more gain without too much noise and with appropriate signal level to the usb output. However, I agree that there should be a simple way to adjust the usb output signal on the mixer itself or via yamaha's own software.

@Irshaad88 3 года назад

Please consider the following. I've had this mixer for a while and I've learnt so much from you, so thanks. I'd like to share with you that the USB output from this mixer IS actually quiet, even with proper setup as in your video, but I think this may just be a Windows compatibility issue. You're using a Mac so your results are understandably different. I tried everything and it's still quiet. Ultimately the fix that worked for me (amazingly well) is to connect the mixer to the pc via an interface (I use the Presonus Audiobox with a DI box). Lastly, you seriously DO NOT need a cloudlifter with this mixer. I have the dynamite stick by SE and don't use it. Julian Klaus has a video demonstrating why it's not required with preamps like this. I hope to hear your comments on this. Thanks for the great content.

I own this mixer and have been recording live shows with it. My question is would you follow this exact same procedure for adding guitar, drums, keyboards, bass inputs, etc.? Would you want all of these separate sound sources to consistently hit the unity mark on the USB output, or would you need to compensate for additional sound sources by turning the gain/volume down slightly on all the channels to keep it from being too loud?

Hi! I have two questions. 1. Let's say I'm using an SM-57, I assume I wouldn't need a cloud lifter at all right? 2. If I use the EQ, turn on the mixers compression, and add a hall reverb, to my vocals or guitar, when I record via usb, will it also record the EQ, compression, and reverb? I read someone say that they had reverb on and only recorded a clean signal. Thanks in advance! Great video! :)

@g0at3 3 года назад

I've had this mixer forever... And I've had this problem forever! I even got a DBX 286s Preamp and processor. It does all the heavy lifting but the dang usb out is so quite on the mg10XU that even when I set me levels right at 0DB it comes in peakine at -18 dB before you start to hear distortion if you go much higher. This is a problem when I am streaming but also need to be heard on discord. I have tried using software to boost the input digitally for programs like discord but it's a pain and hard to monitor.

@vishi66 2 года назад

Hi I too going through the same problem. You have to increase the gain & volume to the peak level. The quality of USB output is always good compared to Line level input. So can we add a sound card like focusrite as intermediate input from Mixer to Laptop to enhance the usb output signal strength from Yamaha MG10XU

@mcidor 3 года назад

If you are using both a dynamic and condenser mics, you would need phantom power but will it effect the dynamic mic or not?

@getstew 3 года назад

What about if you’re not going out through USB? I have a 10G on the way because I’m using my Focusrite and a DAW (Reaper). Same process basically? Level to zero on the Yamaha board then use the Focusrite to adjust peaks to about -18 to -12 within the DAW? After all, you wouldn’t want to hit zero within the DAW because then you’re clipping, right? Thanks!

It's Connected to my PC's Line-In of an ASUS B450 F GAMING STRIX Motherboard Soundcard. Make sure that Level Stereo at bottom right is not set to High because that's what controlls what's sent outside of the Audio Interface to your Soundcard in your PC.

@DaveChurchill 3 года назад

Great Video! I have followed all these steps, but still need to boost about +5 in software in order to get the levels that I want in OBS when using USB I have noticed however that when I keep all the settings the same, but use Line-In to my PC, the volume is much higher (15db or so). Is there a reason that the Line-in would offer such a higher volume than the USB? I find myself using it over the USB input which is slightly annoying, because I bought the mixer mostly for its USB output!

@kettnercreative 3 года назад

If you need to boost the gain in OBS, I would just boost it on the channel strip instead (if you have the option). Line level of the mixer is boosted a little bit +4dBu so it makes sense that it's a bit louder. It's also effected by the master output (bottom right) so if you turn this up/down it will make a difference as well.

@DaveChurchill 3 года назад

@@kettnercreative Thanks for letting me know about the 4db line boost. I didn't know about that! I think after a bunch of testing, I'm probably going to end up returning this mixer and going with the Scarlett 2i2. I don't really need this many inputs for my use case of live-streaming, and I've heard nothing but amazing reviews for the preamp inside the Scarlett boxes. In your experience, would the Scarlett 2i2 be able to deliver higher volumes through USB than the Yamaha? I know the Yamaha is obviously more fully featured, but just in terms of input volume and quality I think the Scarlett may have it beat. I can do other processing and EQ in software

@kettnercreative 3 года назад

@@DaveChurchill If you're looking for a silver bullet with the Scarlett, I don't think you're going to find it. The Scarlett has a noise of: -128 dBu The Yamaha has a noise of: -128 dBu EXACTLY the same noise. The Scarlett has a gain of: 56 dB The Yamaha has a gain of: 64 dB On paper, the Yamaha has more powerful preamps and the same amount of noise.

@DaveChurchill 3 года назад

@Kettner Creative Thank you so much for the explanation! This information is helping me understand things a lot better. I have a couple more questions for you if you have time. If not, I understand! 1) The line out has +4db, which you mentioned before. So when I boost the gain so that the USB output matches the level of the line out, I notice that the USB sound on my PC has var less noise. Could this be because my motherboard sound card's line in is just noisier than the USB input? 2) I followed your exact instructions (in your streamer setup video) with an SM58, however I need to speak about 8 inches from the mic due to my desk setup. Because of this, I need more gain than you have in your setup video for USB output. When I have the mic in slot 1, and set Gain 1 and Levels 1 on the board both to 9/10, I still need about +5db in OBS to get to usable levels. However I also found that I could get more 'gain' on board by turning up each of the 3 EQ knobs equally. Do you recommend people use the EQ knob gain 'trick' or adding gain in software? 3) I may have to end up returning the Yamaha anyway, due to physical space requirements. Do you have a recommendation for smaller audio interfaces which offer similar db boost / usb output? 4) Is the +64db what you get from the Gain knob only, or is that the sum of Gain, Levels, and EQ knobs being turned to max?

@smurf902 Год назад

Hi Jordan - quick question - so I have a Shure MV7X and I turned the levels up all the way and a bit of condenser. I can finally hear in my video camera recordings my vocals but the digital keyboard I have plugged in, I can hardly hear it at all, I have it plugged into my headphone jack on the piano and then plugged into the "left" line of line 9....I turned up all the levels but I still can hardly hear anything..do u think if I get the red and white wires and plug to the back instead it may help? I honestly can still get a decent recording because the mic picks up the ambient sound of the speakers from externally anyway, like it would an acoustic piano, but I'd like to make some nicer recordings through audacity where I can just have sound recordings....who knows tomorrow when I try that the levels might pick up better since it's not the phone, it's gonna be to my laptop and I can raise the level to that line on audacity..

My problem is that if I turn up the gain too much it clips/peaks.

@nikonmikon8915 3 года назад

to answer your question about the +48v, be sure to check the manufacturer suggestions about sending +48v to these microphones that do not use phantom power. The sm57 and sm58 both have transformers inside the handle (you can search google to see this) and this transformer will block DC voltage (48v). They are safe to use when 48v is activated for condenser microphones. I would check to make sure your microphones can handle 48v safely before turning it on.

Hello friend, thanks for the tutorial, it has been very helpful, now I have a question, I have a microphone connected to channel 9/10 with usb output, how can I add more volume since when I make the video the volume is only very low if you could help me thanks

@kettnercreative 3 года назад

You need to increase the gain.

@mikelif27 3 года назад

Thanks for your response yeah channel 9/10 don’t have gain so i check with the Bluetooth so is necessary increasing the volumen on the garageband?

Can you use the Cloud lifter-1 or cloud lifter-Z for a dynamic mic in the 1/4 jack to xlr line 5/6?

@kettnercreative 9 месяцев назад

You would need to use an XLR input so you can get phantom power.

What about if im using speakers for a live event , plus streaming at the same time . My audio still too low (microphone) on my Facebook streaming!!! I don’t want to bump my audio because the feedback on the live speakers. Any advice for this ?? Thanks!!

@jazzdad52 2 года назад

I’ve been doing streaming with a live audience also. Last try, I had digital out just high enough (going into OBS, Win 10) by setting stereo out to the max, and turning the volume as low as it will go on my powered speakers. I don’t think this is a great solution, but I’m just a bit above novice level myself. Just doesn’t seem good to have anything set at maximum or minimum. No room for adjustment. But it worked, even though I’ve been told by others that the stereo out volume doesn’t control the USB out. Still experimenting…….

@ronjohnson7920 Месяц назад

i'm getting a good reading from the audio meter on my yamaha mg-xu console (where green meets yellow), but the usb output to my DAW is maxing out at -43db. even when i crank the gain, and the levels on the console are peaking at max red, my DAW is still at -27db. does anyone have a solution for this?

@sportshousetv 3 года назад

Would a preamp be the same as using the cloud lifter?

@kettnercreative 3 года назад

Not really. Most outboard preamps will output a line level signal. An inline preamp (Cloudlifter, Fethead, Dynamite, etc.) will output a mic level signal.

@scandibook Год назад

I take the sound out from xlr stereo to Focusrite - to computer and use Streamlabs. This solves the low sound from the mixer.

Have you tried plugging the mic into another audio console, it might be the mic? Otherwise, I would try replacing the cables and make sure that all unused channels are turned down, set the EQ to flat and don't turn the compressor past 50%.

@vintagedawg 2 года назад

Can't we all just admit that the output levels on the mgxu mixers are too low? It is too low through usb, and it is too low through the main outs when running to powered speakers. I have been running sound for 30 years and have never seen a mixer that you had to turn up on every fader like this one. That's why all these people VVVV are having trouble. Can anyone recommend a mixer that is in the same price range that has a stronger, cleaner output on usb and mains?

@@SchriztopherGaming Even with that I get inconsistent results. Pading seems to help. I think part of the problem Ive been having is that it randomly compresses the signal when there is too much data coming through or something. Saving up for a better device

It all sounds logical, except I can not get back signal at strength I'm sending in. E.g. use computer to send sound from PC via USB and then record back via USB. You lost lot of dBs. Simply wrong. Whole point of exchange behringer was integrated Good quality ADC.

@kimmossige263 3 года назад

You seem to counterdict yoruself. First yo usay that the Master knob has nothing to do with the USB input, but yet you need to hit that 0db meter on the right. I cannot get to that 0db meter without turning up the monitor know, which you said had nothing to do with the USB input.. I still struggle with this and didn't find this video any helpful this far. I'm still struggling and can't find a way to get good enough output volume for my forthcoming Zoom concert..

@kettnercreative 3 года назад

Hi Kim, Great question. Although the master level doesn't change the USB volume, it does activate the meter so you can see what's going on. This is why it's important to set it to the triangle, so you can accurately see what your current level is from your microphone. If you set it above/below the triangle, you won't see an accurate representation of what you're sending to your computer. If you need more volume, turn up the gain.

@@kettnercreative Hi again Jordan.. I was wondering if you're suffering from crackling noises from this mixer? I have made sure that none of the tracks are running hot or even remotely near limit, yet when I turn up the headphone-amp knob aswell as/or the MG10XU headphone knob, the sound starts crackling when the band plays together.. It's like we all have to run our headphones at low volumes for the crackling to disappear.. Is this a normal issue with cheaper end mixers? I run a mic on the left channel, then my Kemper stereo on track 2 and 3 with XLR. Gain is set to zereo on these two.. I was thinking that maybe three XLR cables were overloading somehow, I don't know. Strange that I even get sound from track 2 and 3 with zero gain added on the knobs though
