2 Years ago I voted the Yamaha MG12XU the best home studio mixer anyone could get. The Yamaha MG12XU delivered amazing sounding preamps on a variety of microphone tests and plenty of audio routing to fit anyone's needs. The only downside was that it did not offer independent 4 microphone inputs. So how is the Yamaha MG12XU holding up 2 years later, let's find out.

It's also a great mixer for streaming. Connect your mics/instruments to the input channels. Your PC audio in/out to the dedicated digital USB channel. Set your busses and effects. Set OBS to recognize the builtin digital connection. And you're good to go with a great sounding quality mixer, and control all the levels with the faders. I like using my PC audio sources as a digital input into the mixer, mics and instruments into their channels, mix it all and send it back into the PC via analog connection (for a more natural warmer analog sound out to the stream audience).

@raindogred Год назад

I got an old MG 12/4, same with mine..preamps and circuitry are whisper quiet, surgical eq. i prefer them to the motu 828, 8pre and behringer fca1616, on some mics and instruments. I love the high pass button, just rolls off the mud of dynamic mics..even cheaper mics sound good..i especially love the pres on nylon string guitar and my voice. Have my monitors connected through the yamaha. Its indestructible, and buttons still all work. Like a swiss army knife, that i just could not do without. The only reason i would ever part with it is is to get a newer version with effects. Nice vid.

@@LoKnows I really only play games, but I like to have a really good sound too! I think the avalon has a warmer sound than the dbx, so I thought to plug in the GoXLR and use it for the effects as well as the sliders, then I thought to use the expander / gate from the DBX, and then the preamp + EQ from the avalon , I might get rid of the dbx, and use the expander / gate from the Goxlr , but would you recommend a cloudlifter to the SM7B into the Avalon? :)

@LoKnows 4 года назад

Mortal Steel 100% yes. But not to make you sound better but to protect your Avalon. I did a video on using the SM7b on the Avalon with and without a cloud lifter, and while I can’t guarantee it was the SM7b or the tubes dying in the Avalon, my Avalon has not been the same since then. I wouldn’t feel comfortable pushing the preamps situation hard on the Avalon for the SM7b.

@salesforceway 3 года назад

Good video. You deserve more subs! Question: I'm new to mixer world. You said 4 mic input shares one stereo output. How about the audio from computer (like skype or youtube in browser), are they sharing one stereo output as well with the mics?

@cheesy6516 2 года назад

If your mixer is dusty, you need to cover your mixer when not in use. You can use a soft case or a towel or anything to prevent dust. When you have dust built up, use a soft painters brush to brush dust away from any holes it can get into the mixer. Then use a microfiber cloth to clean anything left over.

@GunninRebel55 2 года назад

That’s why you get the Mackie vlz4 series. Built like a tank, works forever, highest quality, and no dust can get inside anywhere. This mixer he’s reviewing is probably a great mixer too but Mackie is the Rolls Royce of mixers. This is universally known.

@Than3Dane 2 года назад

I've had this Mixer for quite some years now, and it still works like brand new. The only thing thats a -con is that it only have 1 live interface connected through the usb, so its not possible to assign it to each individual Mixer Track within a DAW. I would however buy along the UR824 Audio Interface with its 8x8 connections, because the Pre-Amps are identical you won't experience any change of audio whenever you're doing a cross-over :-) One could buy a cheaper Interface and get even more inputs & outputs, but if you already have this Yamaha Mixer, then you wouldn't have to worry about fluctuations on the sound.

@dougclendening5896 Год назад

Not that it's a perfect fix, but you can record two tracks at once. Left and right. Pan one instrument to left and the other to right and use mono, not stereo in the DAW.

@marknettles 8 месяцев назад

@generalawareness101 3 года назад

What I do notget is that the preamp is listed as 64db but with a SM7B it requires the knob to be all the way clockwise whereas my 60dB required the 4 O'clock position and the 55dB requires full clockwise. Makes me wonder if Yamaha fudged the numbers by 9db?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying one of these machines, I need to know how it works with analog compressors (like a 1176 for example), reverbs, delays, eq's, blah blah blah. You know, getting a mix in my home studio in 2023, but the way it was done before. My other question is if it works well as an audio interface or if I need to connect it to a focusrite or a tascam (which are the interfaces I currently have). and last but not least is... ask yourself if when I move the faders, they move in the daw (whether it's reaper or pro tools that I currently use), I want to buy something of quality, that lasts, and that doesn't have to complain about anything, and from the facial expressions during the video, except for the dirt theme, I don't think you are disappointed with the yamaha at all. greetings from Argentina! new follower from today!

Ideally, I'd want a mixer to bridge both laptops from both of their respective Focusrite Scarletts to communicate with the mixer that'll be connected to the monitor speakers. But I feel the USB powered version will fall dependent on whichever laptop it's connected to, yet I read somewhere the USB version has more features and is the preferred version to purchase.

@PeterMossUkulele 2 года назад

Hi - Great video. I have owned the Yamaha MG10XU for about 4 years and used it both live with my solo act and everyday in my small home studio when locked down. I opted for the tilt bracket underneath that is fastened to a low level upright mic stand which allows for less clutter on my desk. I am considering purchasing the MG12XU just for my live work. I run a Sennheiser MKE600 (the best I could afford at the time) into input 1. I must admit to being a tad disappointed with the sensitivity of the mic after watching all the YT reviews. I now have an inline booster from fethead that has sure boosted the gain but some noise floor with it. Maybe I should save up for the Senn 416 but that's a lot of investment just for a hobby. Any suggestions?.....

@LoKnows 4 года назад

So this mixer does act like an interface. It does work with software like protools and Adobe Audition. You have that option, but in the future let’s say you want a dedicated audio interface because maybe it offers plugins that are exclusive to that interface, you can at least connect the mixer to the interface. Now, podcast, the mixer is perfect for podcast since you have the 4 mic inputs and compression for each mic Input

Am i making some mistake or it is how the mixer works ? Thank you

@LoKnows 4 года назад

That’s weird you don’t have a separate volume knob for the headphones and monitors?

@LoKnows 4 года назад

Just took a look at the picture for your mixer. I would say try connecting your speakers to the stereo out instead of the monitors at the top. Then make sure you have the stereo button pushed in on the monitor/phones dial so it’s sharing the stereo out signal. Now you should be able to turn the monitor/phones dial up and the stereo dial down and only hear through the headphones. Hope that works, let me know if it does.

@davidepalesano5015 4 года назад

First of all,thank you for replying. Unfortunately I had already connected my speakers to the stereo out (that's where my issue comes from) and what you called stereo button on the monitor/phones dial is actually a stereo mute button (when pushed it doesn't route the stereo output into the monitor/phones output too). So it seems that i can listen to some music or whatever sound it is from the stereo out and not from the monitor/phones out but i cannot do the opposite (listening audio from phones and not from stereo out cause when i lower my stereo out fader also the phones output is lowered).

Why do you use a separate audio interface? Is the mixer's built-in one bad?

@LoKnows 4 года назад

So when I originally got it that was the idea. But for some weird reason, the mixer would play at 48hz in protools the when I would go to windows it would play 44.1hz and cause a weird slow down effect. I would try to match it but it would always cause some kind of weird error. I’m guessing it’s protools. They are pretty finicky when it comes to hardware and their hardware. But in the end I’m happy with how it need you. It actually gives me more flexibility to have it separate.

@jjmusicals3985 3 года назад

@@LoKnows yes buddy...from electric fluctuation in order to protect the mixer or electronic equipments! So for a mixer do I need it for a big time

@LoKnows 3 года назад

@@jjmusicals3985 well I’ve had the mixer for over 3 yrs and never had the need for a stabilizer. But if it protects your investment I don’t see why not.

Would you recommend this mixer for mobile djs?

@LoKnows 4 года назад

Yeah man. I’ve seen some pretty badly mixers when doing video work at gigs. Even though I don’t use it for dj’ng even I could see they could benefit from the beater they have. But the final decision is yours

@@LoKnows whats a beater? Basicly, most djs have separate dj gear like 2 cd/mp3 players & a dj mixer. The yamaha mixer could be used for extra gear or plugin a couple of mics for a singing band. Thats what i was wondering.

@@djchakir Hahah, sorry, a beater, is something you have used FOREVER!!! It's gone through everything with you and has been beat up over the years of use. That's what I meant. I've seen a lot of DJs using mixers in their set up but every time I see them using them its been OLD beat up mixers that sound rough, especially on the mic, if they use it. But, if never dj'd before, so the whether you really need it is purely up to you, but if you do decide you need one its totally up to you. Yeah, I several devices connected to it as you suggested. It definitely would be helpful with extra gear and mics.

the SM7B does not use, nor require phantom power. its a Dynamic microphone. if you enable phantom power it literally will igonore its even on. if you run a cloudlifter or fethead or other mic "activator" you would then enable Phantom power and it would add a certain amount of clean gain from the phantom power. again.. the SM7b DOES NOT require phantom power. it is a gain hungry mic, and you may need a cloudlifter. but not all the time. if you can get about 60-70db of clean gain from your mixer/audio interface, to the sm7b, you shouldnt need a cloudlifter at all. Also. running the SM7b from the mg12xu and 10xu's usb is when you need the cloudlifter. if you ran from one of the monitor outs to a line in on your pc and checked the mic level with that gain in this video.. it'd clip for sure.. and hurt if you have headphones on. the USB on these mixers arent the greatest at all.

I too love the big ones like GREATEST SaWes . Going for MGP32X and MG10XUF at the same time. MG10XUF is for listening music in bed; while MGP32X for studio. I have already bought MG16XU. I love MG series mixers for normal use; but hate it for recording job. So, MGP32X is coming in. I call MG series mixers DUCKER. This mixers ducks the signals, so I hate them; you don't need DUCKER that you see in MGP32X mixers to Duck signal. Sparkling sounds are cut off in this MG series mixers, which I hate. Further, compressor has limited performance. You have to literally turn 300+ degree to get some effect of compression. SPX DSP are not upto its claim. I like Power Dynamics DSP which are very sweet and sparkling like firecrackers. So, not planning to sell Power Dynamics any more. I'll send FX from Power Dynamics and return it to MG or MGP. Because this mixers have resolution of 192 kHz.
