Hey Drummer Nation. What do you think of this custom drum snake build? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pcgl6HXzmiY.html

You're very welcome Preetam Singh.

Hey Harry Wu and thanks for watching. well wished on your journey with this awesome mixer bro.

I know and that's kind of my little beef with them. So typically on 5/6 7/8 and 9/10, I use an iPad or stereo keyboard or something like that. I would never split two different instruments like a guitar on channel 5 and and mono keyboard on channel 6 because like you said you have to share the same EQ values and then play the l/r balance game in addition to balancing that fader level with all the other channels. These manufacturers with their technical details are a mess lol. Thanks for watching.

You Got it Rise Above Performance! Thank you for your support.

I'll tell you what Kiba, I in the mix and really business these day but this concept should work to get your mixer in your phone. You'll need to be a little creative though. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJHqhIWPxss.html

Awesome Maco DJ. How did your conference turn out?

@@gfire_productions It is going perfect the last conference in real life, it is a good mixer, zoom also delete the eco automatic no stress

You're welcome. Thank you for watching.

I use a capture card for my Cannon 90D call the Cam Link 4k. Then in Zoom I pick the Cam Link as my camera source: Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uCNbh0z12-A.html

Hello Darian and thanks for watching and supporting our channel. I did not do any live switching so this video was made from the recordings of three different devices then edit it with iMovie. Camera recording 1: Cannon 90D for main camera on me Camera recording 2 iPhone 6 for close up of the mixer demo Camera recording 3 MacBook Face for Zoom Screen recording to show what I was doing in Zoom. All of the video recordings combined was edited with the iMovie program on the MacBook. This was probably one of my most difficult edits because I was trying to remember how to align everything up with me speaking versus what I was doing from the different recorded sources. I do not own any ATM switching devices and since then have been using OBS which is a software-based switching program so recording is done a lot faster and so is editing for me. And of course now all of my audio goes through my Yamaha MG10XU. Here is how I get my cameras in OBS now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uCNbh0z12-A.html

That's awesome and I really like the MG12 also.

I’ve got the MG12XU myself running through a iMac. Audio works great with discord and other applications, but in Zoom, my audio input controls are always disabled. Whether or not I’ve checked the auto adjust input levels box. So I found I have to up my gain to 75% in order to get enough volume. All other programs my gain is around 25%-40%

Thanks Deepak naik for you feed back. Also keep in mind that Zoom does not have the greatest quality settings for audio. Zoom is generally a conference type software and was designed for mic. Some of us we're creative enough to use it with a mixer or interface. I may do a video comparison between Zoom, Facebook Live and RU-vid Live.

Make sure your cpu settings recognize the MG10XU as the audio in. Also make sure zoom mic is is also selected as the MG10XU. Last, rewatch the video and pause as needed to repeat all the steps. Let me know if that works.

Mine is in the up position. and works just fine for me in the head phones.

I have mine set to ST which is the depressed position. I have a dj controller connected from my Master out Rca to master input on mixer because I need a channel to hear people talking while on zoom call. I have been struggling with this for days now and your explanation what’s the best I have ever seen thank you so much let me know what you think about my connections I’m still a little confused

@@djintenseevents Awesome. O'm using channel 5/6 now for an iPad and channel 7/8 for my DDJ via stereo TS out to the MG10XU RCA. in. 9/10 is strictly reserved for when I do Zoom Calls.

@@gfire_productions hi thank you for responding. So you are using 7/8 out of your Yamaha to your input on your DDJ controller?

@@gfire_productionsDDJ Master out via TRS to channel 7/8 RCA Input on Mixer?

I'll try my friend. I don't use windows or PC but make sure on the Yamaha's mic channel, the "26db PAD" button is in the up position. Double check the gain structure on the mic channel. Also I'm not sure what mic you are using but some mics like the the Shure SM7B have been known to be a little on the low side with volume so some people use a DB line booster(I don't use this). Then there is the settings of you PC audio to check, again I don't use windows but you need to check to see if that is affecting your volume also.. Lastly take you time to check Zoom audio settings accordingly. I hope this helps. please let me know when you fix it and what was the issue. Well wishes Tony.

Hello Ria and thanks for watching. Unfortunately I don't do karaoke live so It would be kind of difficult to assist with that. If I were even to consider a production of the level by then I would be using my OBS program which would allow me to more seamlessly share my screen (for karaoke videos) online. For audio all of my mics and any audio devices would input to the Yamaha basic mixer and the mixer's audio would then be plugged into the focus rite. The focusrite would be the interface for online audio.

I don't think it's the mixer. The free version of Zoom does quit at about 45 minutes and they've had some updates since I started using it in march 2020. If you have the paid version of Zoom then I recommend you contact them for tech support. I hope it works out.

Hello my friend. In Zoom settings under "Select a Microphone" you can select the computer's mic or the MG10XU and under the "Select a Speaker" settings, you can listen with the Laptop speakers or the MG10XU. Here are a few scenarios below. 1: You can talk Throught the MG10XU and listen through the Laptop Speakers. 2: You can talk through the Laptop Mic and listen through the MG10XU. 3: listen and that through the Laptop 4: Listen and talk through the MG10XU

I'm trying to follow the question so here goes. Because I primarily DJ at weddings and corporate events and family style gatherings I typically download clean versions of all the music that I play so I don't have to bleep it out. I use BPM Supreme for most of the music I download.

It sure can Arvind.

Hello Hazkeel. You sure can. Then mixer has four combo jacks for mics.

I've don that as well. You'll still have to follow the simple microphone rules by not getting too close to Speakers which will cost feedback. Or otherwise in the room instead of wearing your headphones everyone will be listening to the speakers. So pleasure speakers in a way that they won't make their way back to the microphone you are speaking in and you shouldn't have any issues.

Hello Anu. I don't think that will work out and may cause a feedback loop. When Zoom is fed into the mixer via USB, you cannot intern send that channel back out in the mix without causing a feedback issue. That is why I used my iPad as an independent music source that everyone can listen to while in a conference.

@@gfire_productions Thank you very much for getting back. Would you mind testing this scenario, that I use in my singing sessions via Zoom? My backing track is routed to the mixer from laptop/mac while Zoom uses MG-UX as both the input and output. I haven't experienced a feedback loop. That will be a great tutorial for those using Zoom and MG10UX for the same purpose.

@@anupebotuwa4483 Ok bro I've ran two scenarios. 1: everything is hooked up and all settings are exactly like what's in the video in addition to turning up the volume on channel 9/10 USB button pressed down, to allow Apple Music to come through into the mixer. With only myself in the meeting on my MacBook, I hear an echo of myself in the headphones from the mixer because the microphone is directly into the mixer which goes into zoom via usb cable and back out of zoom via the same usb cable into the mixer on channel 9/10 volume which is delayed. This is why I'm hearing an echo of myself in my headphones. 2. Everything is hooked up exactly like scenario number one but now I have allowed my cell phone to be in this meeting with my MacBook. The problem I am having with this scenario is my lapel mic is picking up my phone which is not only causing feedback but I have a third echo in my headphones coming from my mixer. 3. All settings are the same but in this scenario I put my lapel mic body pack only in a separate room and played a Music device to send some kind of audio through the lapel mic. My phone is also in the meeting but still in the room with the mixer and MacBook. IN THE HEADPHONES: the lapel mic audio has no echo, Apple Music via usb cable has no echo, speaking into the phone via Zoom has no echo. IN THE PHONE. myself Bottom line, when you turn up channel 9/10 to get music into zoom via usb cable the the mixer is also sending audio to zoom you'll have an echo to yourself in the head phones, the MacBook speakers if you go that route and/or to the other guest (when they speak they will hear themselves on their devices). What I would do is use another free channel on my mixer with a seperate Mac or pc to play backing tracks or in my case an iPad.

@@gfire_productions Thank you very much, bro, for taking the time to test the scenario. I agree with you that using a separate free channel to play the backing track will provide a cleaner and hassle-free mixing experience. I am still trying to understand why bi-directional USB bus introduces an echo in your environment. I will post you an update after testing thoroughly with a friend who has some knowledge in audio engineering.

You’re welcome Anu. Let me know the outcome of the test on you end bro.

Hello Joseph. In my testing just now it looks like you can only pick one to FX for both channels 1 and 2 but you can individually turn up how much FX is on each channel. There are 30 different effects to choose from.

Hello Theo. its from Zoom.us

Yes you Can. Just be aware where your mic is in relation to that speaker or you will have feedback. Otherwise you can live stream and play from a speaker within your facility. In the room where I made this video I don't have a speaker because I don't need to hear myself through a speaker and I typically use headphones when I'm conferencing through Zoom, RU-vid or programs like that.

I'm sorry but I'm having trouble translating this sentence at the moment but thanks for watching I hope you are successful with setting up zoom on your mixer.

I tried this and instead of using my head phones I used a powered monitored. I also tried to use the main xlr outs of the mixer. Just be mindful where your speakers are and the volume is set to avoid feedback. Let me know if that work out Ryan.

Did you solve it?

Thank for watching. I think this may help you get some of the things you want and good luck buddy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OsauzPWt7M4.html

You got me good there cause I don't on a PC. Sorry joshnesses, no can-do.

Hello Hannah. I was using the Rode Wireless Go(1st generation) connected to my Canon 90D amzn.to/48TSX2F to make this video but that version of the Wireless Go now obsolete. Now there is a Rode Wireless go II: amzn.to/4aW9ogG . The microphone that I used to connect to the mixer to use with Zoom is they Shure QLXD24: amzn.to/3tSPhPR.

For video editing I use iMovie which is included for free when you buy a MacBook Pro.

@Amanda McDowell by the way, I use a CANNON 90D to capture the video.

@@gfire_productions I'm too poor. I lost a bunch of gigs to COVID. And, I'm busy making audio a priority so far. But, I'm AM using a Cannon Webcam with a 60% Sony wide angle lens to teach music .. and tomorrow I have my first post COVID big gig, and I'm going to attempt my first live stream.

PS. My life got so much easier with that Yamaha MG12XU last night, the struggle was real!! That mixer is the easy button fo sho

Hello Dan and thanks for bring that to my attention.I forgot to mention the "mix minus". So there is a red switch above the master volume of the "USB Channel 9/10" for routing it to the monitor(up position) or stereo master(down position). In my video it was in the "up position" so the audio input from my MAC through usb 9/10 went to the monitor source(my head phones) automatically. This way the audio will not go back out to the main mix or back into the Zoom meeting. Now if that red switch had been in the down position, the audio from the USB 9/10 would have been routed into the main mix which would have caused feedback in the meeting.Good observation brother.

@Andrew Simpson you got it my man and thank for subscribing!

Was just about to comment that! You beat me to it! :) That Button/ function is super important!

Hi Tobias. Yeah I was racking my brain for a few hours when I first tried this. Fun learning curve.

G Fire Productions most mixers in that price range and below don’t have that “headphone pfl preview” function and thus are unusable for zoom/Skype and overdub recording into a DAW so I’m glad this one has it. I checked out cheaper Behringer and Soundcraft mixers but they all didn’t have that. - by the way the usb is independent from the master level and the master LEDs so you have to check the levels inside zoom/Skype not on the mixer as the master is louder than the usb. If that makes sense.

I'm not sure why your iPhone is sounding muffled but in the past I did clean out some lint from the 3.5 mm headphone jack with a paper clip. Other issues to watch out for some make sure you have good connections with any adapters and check the settings on any software you're using and especially OBS. Other than that I can't think of anything else at the moment and I do hope this helps. Please let me know if it does thanks for watching. Don't forget to make sure the volume on your phone is turned up as well.

@@gfire_productions Thank you for responding. When I say the music sounds muddied is after I record and listen to the recording. I'm not sure if when I stream the music is coming out muddied to the viewer or is it only sounding like that in the recorded version. The music as it's playing into my headphones is great.

Hello DMA. on the MG12XU the button 1-2 pressed down will assign that channel to the group fader next to the master fader. Pressing the ST button down does will assign the channel directly to the stereo master fader(the red fader all the way to the right. On your mixer the USB/LINE button is just below the RCA inputs so you'll have to press the USB/line button to the down position to hear audio coming back from Zoom. Let me know if that works. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing.

@@gfire_productions Thank you very much. I understand better. I have already subscribed!

@@dominicainesmissionnairesa548 Thank you so much an let me know how your Zoom meeting work out for you.

Hello Andyshub. I'd recommend using the white effects knob on your mic channel to turn it up or down as needed. This will only affect that channel so if you have reverb on any other instruments or channels it will not disturb those settings. But if you adjust the master "FX" button next to the master volume knob, it will shut down or turn up any effects on every channel. I hope this helps let me know if it works for you.

@@gfire_productions So right you are....Thanks so much... Hopefully it'll work...I'll check and let U know.

@@gfire_productions It worked so well that way !! Thanks again. Have one more question.... can I connect two headphones with this mixer ? If yes, how to do that ?

@@andysvlogging On the MG10XU there is only one headphone jack however you can get a splitter amzn.to/3fGMAYe or even a headphone amp: amzn.to/3wt9g43

Hello Rio, in the audio settings of Zoom, there's a block you can check called Eco cancel. This will help you when you are monitoring with your computer speakers or some external speakers connected to your mixer with feeding back into the zoom program and then back into your speakers again is called feedback loop. The echo cancel feature is limited though so you still have to follow good microphone and speaker placement to avoid feedback in the first place. Another good practice is to maybe have guests who are not speaking to mute their microphones until they actually need to speak. Now as far as music playing from your MacBook remember all audio from your MacBook will go through that USB cable back to the Yamaha mixer. So if you want to play music I highly suggest get another device and hook it to another channel in the Yamaha mixer as I did with the iPad. That way the only audio coming from your computer should be people speaking on zoom and then you can hear it through your mixers headphones or speakers if you choose to use them.

@@gfire_productions Thank you for the answer, will try your suggestion

Yes you can. I used headphones so only I could hear my conference calls.

@@gfire_productions but won’t it cause feedback with the mic and speaker? 😊

@@janya80085 you still have to follow the basic principles of how to use a microphone in the presence of the speaker. If I zoom with just my laptop talking through my laptop mic and using my laptop speakers, if my laptops volume is turned up too much the speaker sound will go into the microphone is causing feedback. So I have to turn down the volume of my laptop. If you want to use your speakers from the mixer, you still have to follow the same principles and what you don't want is the volume from your speaker to go onto the microphone which will cause feedback. So get your speaker for away from your mic so you can hear it but not so loud that it is picked up by your microphone. I hope this helps.

Sir we're on social media.

Hello Geetesh. I'll try but there are too many unknown variables for me. Here's what I suggest though. Will you check your game structure and make sure the metering on your microphone is around zero DB on the mixer. To my channel does have a 26DB pad button so when you press that it will lower the overall channel volume by 26 DB. This matters if you're using a standard dynamic microphone like a sure SM 58 wired. Certain microphones are known to have low volumes so again you have to make sure you're getting up on the mixer accordingly. In the past I have made the mistake of getting down my wireless mic receiver so make sure if you have a wireless receiver with built-in gain control it is set to 0DB. Some Mike's to require 48 foot phantom power but make sure you read the instructions for the mic carefully before you turn it on. For the output too soon make sure you turn it up more if you need to. Other than that that's all I could think of at the moment looking at my mixer and everything I use. What microphone system do you use with your Yamaha MG10XU?

Thanks you Bob. You're correct with gaining up until clipping and backing off. I really went straight for the setting I normally use with the QLXD Mic. I'l l post it in the comment section.

Bob Moore....WHICH gain should you start at zero and move up? The white button at the top of the row?

@@chrismeans6750 you have two ways to control the signal to your main outputs the first is the gain which is the signal strength as it enters the console from the device connected , ie mic, guitar etc. the second is the level of the signal that you are sending to the main outputs of the console after signal processing, ie eq, effects etc. The stronger the signal you have at the beginning the less you have to increase the level at the end.which lessens the signal to noise ratio at the output.

@@bobmoore2159 Bob THank you for clarifying. I suspected that was the case - you confirmed it.

@@chrismeans6750 My Pleasure, glad I could help..
