I love that Yamaha mixer. It is highly durable and completely underrated. The sound that it pushes out is just about perfect to be able to create a good mix.
100% It works like a charm and the preamps are pretty good enough for my home setup and my live music setup too. I ve played nearly every week with that mixer live since 2012. Couple that with a zoom h1 and I can record all those live gigs on the fly.
Wow. I've watched hundreds of videos trying to learn how to connect things together. It was never clear in my mind. You made it sooooooo easy and clear. THANK YOU!!
Finally a video that say there's 2 ways to connect. Other video only showed 1 way, mixer to audio interface. This video is what i'm looking for. Thanks True Sound Studios!
Thanks! I checked app. 30 TH-cam videos and try to understand, how to connect Audio Interface to mixer and play backing tracks. You explained it excellent!
I can't thank you enough for this. I've been searching for a video for hours to try and work out both methods and whats the best way for live streaming / performing with a DAW & backing track. you made this really straight forward. THANKS!
for a cheap mixer those yamaha mg series are great. i have an old yamaha mg12 that has been used as a headphone amp and run my monitors through it so i can pull the fader..done that for years. the other day i thought I would try out the preamps..been a decade since i last used it with a mic. surprised how quiet they were and how nice the eq sounded. now put it back into service with a couple of trs running into my interface..motu 828mk3..nice to have a few extra options..like Christmas day all over again just by using my old mixer..love it.
Thanks for this great and very well explained video! You take a lot of ??? out of the why use a mixer at all question. By the way; you have a very nice and pleasant voice to listen to!
You can also plug a standard 1/4 in patch cable into the insert of preamp channle on your mixer (only to the first click not all the way, it will become a send) and the other end into your interface / instrument input that will run to your daw. Then output from the daw back to the mixer/ tape in or aux in with the blend knob of the interface turned all the wat to playback and have zero latency for recording as well. Effectively doing the blending on the outboard mixer.
Can I ask why you would want to do this? I'm asking because I think I might want to do this but I'm not sure what the purpose is if you could provide more detail that would be sick
@@who_we_are______5926 by getting the feed from pre recorded audio from the daw into the mixer and the signal from whats being recoreded into the mixer you have effectively zero latency, coming out of the mixer to your speakers or headphones.
well and clearly explained only what should you do if your audio interface only has a mic/line 1 input and inst 2 (for instruments) e.g. the u-phoria umc 22 then it is not possible to do left and right when i use a orchestra wants to record with all their equipment at the mixer (without usb) with audio interface is there a solution for that?
Great Video, I considering three options to make my Yamaha MC32/12 Analog Mixer to Digital using an X Air XR16, S/PDIF and a Snake, Finally an interface. What are your thoughts look forward to hearing about this. Thanks

Hi friend, i have an ipad pro and i want to connect the ipad to audio interface then connect a keyboard then an audio mixer then two speakers how is the setup of this hardware. This is for live performance in the church
I have the Tascam Model 12 and I never got it to work as a DAW interface. I still want to use it so this looks like a solution. However, I have XLR cables going from the Model 12 to a Presonus Studio 24c that also has the XLR input connections. I am going to try this today so I will let you know if something blows up.
Hi ! I would like to know how to connect my I pod, to interface 276 volts.,they have sound but I like karaoke in you tube, is not working.they said I need mp 3,
Great tutorial video, thanks! Question: after connecting my Yamaha MG/12-4FX analog mixer to my Steinberg UR22MKII interface, how do I now connect my two small JBL powered monitors?
Great video. Would you recommend this setup with a audio mixer that already has a usb connection? For example, the Yamaha mg10xu which comes with a usb connection to computer
Hi. Would you kindly show me how to connect a Mackie ProFX12v2 with Roland Studio-Capture interface? I followed your guide and connected from the Main L/R out of the ProFX to the Input-1 and Input-2 of the Roland, I could only get the music sound without the vocal. I used two laptops: 1 was to play the music source from a TH-cam clip and the other was to record, using a DAW software. The ProFX had an USB interface, and it worked to record directly from the sound board. However, the vocal affected the quality of the music sound when I used the USB. I hope to be able to use the Roland to capture the mixed sound of both vocal and music with a better quality. Thanks so much, and I greatly appreciate it.
Amazing video man! I think I found what I needed! I just want to make sure though here..I'm wanting to record, podcast and livestream my music/guitar lessons with a Yamaha mg12xu and focusrite 8i6. If I understand correctly, I could just use setup #2 for all of that?
So because you only have 1 "Main Out" you can't connected the "Main Out" to speakers (Like in set up 1) as well using the "Main Out" as input to the interface (Like in set up 2)? Is there anyway around it? Can you connect everything at once? and just change where your main out is connected to when need be?
I have a mgp24x that I'm trying to connect to the focusrite to run to my computer to record the audio. I can't figure out how to do it. Would you be able to assist me please?
We have a Soundcraft Si Impact mixer operating as mono for church. We can’t figure out how to get the sound out to computer except with the headphone jack with TRS cable into a USB dongle soundcard. Could a mono mix come out of one of the XLR ports on the back and somehow be converted to proper leg and right channels into the computer?
What if my mixing console stereo outs are occupied with main speakers, but I need anyway to send audio to USB audio interface? No other stereo outs on mixer. What am I supposed to do? This is my real life situation, not just a question.
What kind of mixer do you have? Most mixers have more than one output. Worst case scenario what we did in the 80s and 90s was when recording we use the outs for just that. After recording we unplug the recording cables and plug in the speakers to start mixing. Another way to do it is to get a y jack and plug it into your headphones jack and use that for your speakers while using the main outs for your input recording. There are many ways to flip this script.
Love your instructions. Trying to setup my home studio as a spin instructor. Plan to use my iphone x to record. My budget is low so I'm being thrifty. I'm looking to route my music e.g. spotify either through my interface/mixer or vice versa. What would be the easiest method. I have a TASCAM 2X2 w/Behringer 802.
Thanks, Weezna! I'm thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to buy a Yamaha MG10 (in any of its presentations) to leave all my instruments and microphones connected to my home studio and output it in stereo to the inputs of two of the channels of my interface.. .. Do you think it could be a good idea? Best regards and thanks again!
I have a Pyle PMUX6 interface and it has guitar inputs as well as a 3.5mm “stereo in”. Should I send from the mixer via the 3.5mm stereo in, or use the guitar input jacks?
Yup. You'll need to use Asio4All on Windows to configure both, or if you're on Mac, you're lucky, because you can make a composite device in the audio settings.
Thank you, very clear, simple and useful video. One question. For the option 2 the signal you send to the audio interface can be EQed or in any way is flat even if you thouch the tones knobs ?
Hi question …… can I have both of these setup, set up at the same time while recording? I’m using ProFX 12 v2 Mackie mixer with PreSonus Studio & Behringer ADA8200 Interface. With setup one will I be able to hear the play back while recording? Excellent video! Thank you.
Thank you very much for the Infos !! To get a better record: do you think is better to use an usb mixer like yamaha mg 10xu Or use a mixer like mg10 and connect it to an audio interface like audient id14 or motu m4?????
Wouldn't an XLR provide a more robust signal to the interface? I have XLR main outputs on my Mackie board, and my PreSonus Studio 24c interface has the dual XLR/ instrument inputs. Of course, my Mackie has the the 1/4" main outputs as well, but I figure the signal would be stronger with the lower impedance cable. Or am I way off base here?
Hello Weznaa. Your explanation was very insightful, thank you. I got one question, I have the Volt 276 as audio interface, does it use the stereo type cable or the unbalanced one?
@@Spaceman429 so you cannot use the speaker output to connect to your interface, but there should be some sort of MAIN output on your mixer. You can use the main/master line outputs, and aux output, or even the headphone output, just NOT THE SPEAKER OUTPUTS

I HAVE A YAMAHA 12 CHANNEL MIXER AND I WANT TO BUY AN APOLLO X4 INTERFACE. IS IT AN INTELLIGENT DECISION TO CONNECT THE MIXER TO THE INTERFACE? OR THAT WOULD MAKE THE INTERFASE LOSE ITS SOPHISTICATED PROPERTIES?
Hi. I see you used balanced cables from the interface outputs left and right to the mixer stereo channel. I used unbalanced and never got any signal coming through but connected it to the mixer mono channels 1 and 2 respectively. Is it cause I used the wrong type of cables? Is it possible to send for example a drum track from my DAW to my mixer, eq it a but on my mixer and send it back to my DAW? I tried but to no avail.
09:21 - question. Why not have a cable with TRS and XLR so you can take the balanced main out from the mixer and feed that into the XLR on the interface? Would this not work? or is that specific interface only expecting a MIC level signal? but surely one can then adjust the gain in the interface?
I want to use a Y cable to go from the 2 outputs of the mixer to one input on my audio interface. Is there a problem with doing this? I'm using the mixer for 3 rack toms, they don't need to be stereo.
Compared to mine, your mixing board makes me feel inadequate lol. I have a Scarlett 4i4. Can I keep my mic in the interface while still using methods one? Cheers mate.
Hi Weezna first I'd like to say how much I enjoy your videos. I was Looking for your Email but couldn't find it. I have a MACKIE SR40-8bus console. and I'd like to connect it up but I need some help. I'd appreciate it.
awesome but help me please. i have MACKIE Ultra-Compact Analog Mixer MIX8 , Focusrite 2i2, and boss RC 505 how can make a connection between them and also with the computer.pleaaaase
Line outs from the RC 505 to line ins on the mixer (if you use channels 3 and 4 or 5 and 6 instead of the first two, you can still plug in two XLR mics). The main outs on the mixer connect to your Focusrite. The Focusrite connects by USB (looks like type "c") to your computer, but it probably works fine with USB 2.0 so you probably need a type C to type A connector (one might be provided). As long as you stay on unity gain on the mixer channels you're using, same on the "main mix" and keep your interface inputs at the lowest gain setting you should be fine, assuming the RC 505 outputs at a decent level. I don't own a Focusrite so check your manual.
Hey, big question, could be simple for you but i need help. How do i use it for both? recording off the mixer but sending signal to interface, but ALSO using mixer for two monitors plus subwoofer. thanks
will there be any loss of quality when running your signals through a mixer before it gets to the audio interface? The reason I'm asking is I don't know whether to get a mixer, or actually replace my interface with one that has more inputs.
Awesome demonstration, But I must ask. Would this work with something like the Stereo Outputs on the Yamaha AG06, Or is that output different electrically?
The Stereo Out of the Yamaha is the same ST Out as any other Mixer. But since that Yamaha already has the ability to be used as a Computer Interface, you can use it directly.
Hi Sir, can i ask if i can apply this on our live setup. Our sound is ok when it comes to live band but not that good when the audio sends to the interface to zoom meeting. We are currently using mixer>audio interface (focusrite)>zoom meeting. Our monitor speaker also connected to the audio interface. What setup can you recommend to us? Thank you 😊
Does it make sense to connect a Yamaha 12 channel mixer to a Universal Audio Apollo X4 to have more inputs? Are any of the properties of the interface lost with this connection? Or, do the mixer gains the interface properties?
Hi, i need your advice on how to get the most of my Motu M4 and my very old Mackie 1604 vlz pro mixer for recording in my software (studio one). If you can explain to me a few things as they confuse me a lot! Especially about panning the instruments for recording. Let's have different situations where i record only myself (one vocal mic and one mic for acoustic guitar or electric) and another with others musicians (vocal, bass, electric gtr, e-drums). It's the panning and the mono vs stereo and busses and all of that that really turn my head upside down! Please i need you help!
Hey, so yes dealing with mono instruments is definitely tricky. I promise I will do a video on this in the next few weeks but till then here’s some quick advice. I always double track my acoustic guitars and electric guitar rhythms. This way I can hard pan them right/left in parts of the song where I want the track to be very wide. I always leave kick drum, snare drum, main vocals, and bass down the center of the mix. The drum overheads, room mics, and back up vocals are usually wide to very wide depending on the type of track.
I love that Yamaha mixer. It is highly durable and completely underrated. The sound that it pushes out is just about perfect to be able to create a good mix.

What if you are recording drums and you want all channels to be their own recording to adjust in the DAW? How would you accomplish that? Thanks.
You’ll need an interface with several inputs to record several tracks simultaneously.
Hi, i need your advice on how to get the most of my Motu M4 and my very old Mackie 1604 vlz pro mixer for recording in my software (studio one).
If you can explain to me a few things as they confuse me a lot!
Especially about panning the instruments for recording.
Let's have different situations where i record only myself (one vocal mic and one mic for acoustic guitar or electric) and another with others musicians (vocal, bass, electric gtr, e-drums).
It's the panning and the mono vs stereo and busses and all of that that really turn my head upside down!
Please i need you help!
Hey, so yes dealing with mono instruments is definitely tricky. I promise I will do a video on this in the next few weeks but till then here’s some quick advice. I always double track my acoustic guitars and electric guitar rhythms. This way I can hard pan them right/left in parts of the song where I want the track to be very wide. I always leave kick drum, snare drum, main vocals, and bass down the center of the mix. The drum overheads, room mics, and back up vocals are usually wide to very wide depending on the type of track.
@@TrueSoundTV Wow that would be perfect thank you 😇
