Yamaha MG Series Mixers | Everything You Need To Know 

lol

This mixer is not supposed to do multitracking recording and it is clearly mentioned in the manual that it is 2in 2out USB audio interface. The closest mixer in price, who is designed to do multitracking recordings is Soundcraft MTK series.

can you download a different driver from Yamaha that Multitrack and is compatible with MG12xu have the same problem

Yes of course. Just connect the main outputs to the speakers or the amps if they are passive speakers.

I have the 16 ch. I can PFL any channel(s) alongside the USB (from laptop). So yes, assuming the 10 ch is the same design.

Yes

Very simple, you can go stereo out to input of amp, very basic stuff.

Hey there. Unfortunately as this is an entry level mixer, you cannot connect external gear. That would require inserts.

I guess you could use the group out and attach some footswitches. Then use one of the channels as a return. Not pretty, but might work.

James Eaton I also have similar problem even with my condenser mic

​@@eminehrolinsix8761 The USB is notorious to remove volume. About 12-13 db of it. With a dynamic mic which is known to be quiet, such as Shure SM7b, Shure SM58 and the like, you would need to get a db booster, such as a cloud lifter. There are many out there, some are cheap, some are expensive. You'd want to aim for a 18 db gain from the cloud lifter at the very least to combat the loss of volume from both the mic and the USB transmition. Condenser mics are generally ok, but there are ofc exceptions. Personally I have a Shure SM7b and a Sennheiser e945. The e945 does not need a cloud lifter, but the SM7b does, both are dynamic. Hope this info helped shed some light on it.

My advice don't use this mixer as a digital interface to record. Get something cheap from Focusrite. And if you must use the mixer just use Aux outs into the audio interface.

false

theres only one driver go to yamaha site and find the driver Yamaha steinberg usb. Im tyrying to find a different driver that can multitrack to your daw

@@XX99XXL thank you for that information

I have the 10 channel variant and yes it gets a bit hot in the back around the power supply

What? Try again.

Yamaha, can you answer this? do all tracks to USB as separate channels? And can you explain how the routing works? [Input] -> gain -> comp -> EQ -> Effects -> fader -> USB .... for all channels?

Yes I have been wondering the same thing is it multi-track recording or is it just balanced stereo left and right via USB?

Most likely if it's just USB 1.1 then it is just Stereo but if it's USB 2.0 then yes it's multi-track recording

Mg12xu has effects, mg12 does not

You can I'm using the mg10xu to stream my podcast all you need is a USB cable to plug it into your computer (contact me if you want any help with that it's super simple)

@@Thegbiggamerz Maybe you can help me. Do you know how to conect this mixer to amplifier? I have connected the speakers into the amplifier. But i want to control everything with my mixer. I hope u can help me.

@@amsterdamnd What inputs do your amps have? XLR? Quarter inch?

I'm having the same problem

I'm on my second one I returned the first one

They're not designed to work on aux even groups. I purchased it already before realizing that

Passive mixer mate. Use amps or powered speakers. You've got your watts mixed up.

One is AUX/FX, but still good
