Congratulations for the video. You explained all the content on a simple way, and made it understandable even for a non native english speaker. Greetings from Brazil.
@@kettnercreative Question... Are you familiar with running multi audio interfaces simultanuosly within a DAW through the Aggregate option in your Audio MIDI Setup (Mac)? If so, will the MG10XU be detected as another "audio interface" through the Mac? I haven't had a chance to try it out myself, but I was wondering if you ever tried it.
Bro thank you so much for this tutorial. I’m new to using mixers and bought this one specifically cuz you can use your iPad with it but couldn’t figure the whole setup out. Liked and subscribed! Thanks again!
This mixing console is more than enough to make professional sounding music. It's that good. Super clean pre amps with great clean output and perfect USB recording ability.I would also recommend Behringer XR 18 for multi channel recording. It's my next purchase and it's compact as well.
Yeah that’s disappointing- i purchased this without checking further- I was expecting at least 4 inputs but to know only captures 2 is a serious bummer.. I have a tiny usb interface that can do that job.
I was about to plump for that TASCAM model 12 ….. and then I saw this…I already have a Yamaha ag03 and it was EXCELLENT !!! I do like that the TASCAM can be used as as daw controller as well as MTR and AI…. EXCELLENT TUTORIAL ..
I love the MG12XU because it has faders, clear and bright on/off switches for each channel and it has an audition button for each channel so you can set the gain for each channel without raising the main volume to 0. And it has a more accurate volume meter with more notches. And it doesn't need an external power brick because it's built in and the panel is at a nice angle because it's tilted.
@@epicon6 Thank you. I have audio tracks that I’m going to be using, and one mic. I think I’m ready to record using my Yamaha MG10XU going into my iMac, But when I plug everything in, I notice there is already noise being monitored by the green light. Can you or someone tell me what each of my levels should be, also that I might be able to hear myself in my headphones as well? Thank you.

HI, great video, thanks for sharing, this is a nice machine, I've been using it for over 2 years for singing small venues over pre-recorded music tracks. Do you happen to know how I could get a nice video using this, along w/ my iphone for a video reel I could make, for a demo? Any help I'm very grateful for, Lenny
Hello, and thank you for your good and nice explanations, i have question please, if you could explain how we multi record from Keyboard workstation avoiding duplicate record track. Thank you .
Hey, I have the Yamaha USB Mixer MG10XU. I have a DJ controller setup and a turntable setup that I want to use with an audio mixer. I have been looking for videos to make sure everything is corrected right. Would the way you are explaining in the video work or can you make a video showing how this can be done?
Thanks for the video - I was hoping for the next step where you lay down another track while monitoring the first two on the DAW via the desk - is that because the MG10XU can't work that way? (I want to work out if I can get away without having a separate interface for DAW recording)
Hello, What is dynamic recording range? Can I use it in professional studio recording? For example, is there much difference compared to Motu M4? Thanks
@@aaronbattle8559 Sorry my answer was incomplete! MG10xu it's capable for recording just 2 tracks same time,when you are using USB connection to a PC, but if you are singing live, all channels works!
I learned some valuable information here, thanks. However, what I was searching TH-cam for was for a different kind of multi-tracking. I want to record music adding one layer at a time, but I need to be able to hear the computer output in headphones without them recording them a second time. For the first track, I would need to be able to hear a click track. This would be best if I could have the headphones from the mixer so that the computer and its fan are at the other end of the room. I have not been able to work out or find out how to do this yet.
You can do that with the Yamaha. Press the USB button on channel 9/10. Leave the second button up on 9/10 and the click track will only come to your headphones.
If you can only use two inputs (mics), might as well just use an interface. I’d like to use 3 mics but I guess that’s not possible with a multi channel mixer 🤔
I understand that you can record two inputs. Can you record the stereo output of all the mics being used on the mixer? Can it be recorded as a stereo pair via USB?
"stereo pair via usb" that's a combined question. The usb will output a stereo signal no matter the inputs. If you pan the inputs, you can turn this mixer into a multi-track ...outputter, for lack of a better word (it's not a recorder) ...as in a 2 track recorder. However you pan the inputs will be sent via stereo out. This thing is a ...what...10? input device? 10 input 2 output. 10 in MIXER...2 output...left and right.
Hi. I don't have the usb connector cord that goes from my mixer to my ipad. What do you actually call this cord so I can buy one. Thank you! Great video!
Great video as always! Could you please help me out. I have installed the driver for MG series on my windows 11. Tried googling for sites to download garageband but none seems to work. Please tell where can I download it. Also is there a button to choose between outputting and inputting on the Yamaha mg10xu. Thanks in advance.
This is great and all, but is there any way to listen to the first two tracks while recording a 3rd and 4th? I keep getting audio from previous tracks on new recorded tracks
Hi Jordan, that was excellent and I do want to have that mixer. The only question is, can you connect two active 12" speaker to hear the recording? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing such valuable videos. Please tell me how to record Voice and guitar simontenously (multi track recording at same time). I have..... DAW- 1.Audacity 2.Adobe Audition 2019 Audio interface - Behringer UM2 Mixer- Mackie Profx6v3 v3 Microphone - Condenser & dynamic
Hi! I've been using my dynamic mic and the background noise is really zero when i use it with my creative soundcard. But when i used my MG10XU, the background noise is really high. Are there any ways for me to decrease the background noise?
Thanks but feels like i bought wrong mixer. I got 6 synths and a rx11 drum machine to attach to this. Idea was so i didn't have to keep unplugging everything and i coild just move from one thing to another. I will be using 1 mic though
I've had the MG10xu for years but have never used it as an audio interface. I also have the Behringer UMC404HD and the new Mackie DLZ but for simplicity sake, I think I'm just gonna use the MG10xu. I will have 1 mic, digital piano (L&R), acoustic guitar and electric guitar (L&R) (through stereo effects). My question is: can I select ANY 2 of the 10 inputs to record in my DAW or can i only record channels 1 & 2 on the MG10xu? Thank you!
Is it possible to connect a guitar to the mixer and then use the speakers that are plugged into the computer as speakers? and then use an amp sim program like Amplitube?
Is there an equalizer software that I can download on my laptop or iPad and connected to this mixer so that way I can eliminate any unwanted frequencies furthermore while singing through that process?
Good video...but I was thinking: I have a Moog Werkstatt and just got an Arturia MicroFreak plus the Yamaha MG10XU and a Steinberg UR22C Audio Interface. For the 2 synths do I just pick and choose what is recorded? I also noticed my Werkstatt sounds Mono when running straight to the Audio Interface...any way to make it sound like its Stereo? Sorry...Newbie...😅
I have the Triton Le keyboard Le 6i6 interface and yamaha mg10xu mixer and dbx 286s microphone preamp and midi keyboard can I hookup all of this and also AkAi min mpk
how about the stereo outputs- cannot capture simultaneously? I was hoping at least 2 channels plus stereo out. I purchased this hoping I can capture 4 channels at least :(
Is it possible to have one microphone connected for live streaming video game being captured through a elgato capture card connected to that mixer and have two separate controls for the same microphone? So one volume control would be for you to hear yourself at a lower volume and the other control would be for your stream’s volume? Single mic two volume controls one for you one for them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
i am a newbie. Please tell me what apps to download before anything else so that my mg10xu will work properly when i start recording. i am using windows 10 on my desktop computer
Great video Sir! Question for you: I'm subbing 2 mixers into one main by linking mixer 1 into mixer 2 then to my main console. Is it possible to come from the xlr outputs on mixer 1 and 2 then the usb output on the main to my ZOOM 16 track recorder for more tracks? Thanks in advance for your help. Gary J.
I’m trying to record only the keyboard however the mixer is also recording in the background the instrumental that plays on my monitors. How can I sort this out?
Does the same approach apply if you were going to use a keyboard? I was not able to get the best audio output after recording a track following the manual. I also had high levels of hissing that could be heard through my headphones.
Just to make absolutely sure: The Yamaha has 4 XLR/line inputs and an extra 6 line only inputs. Is it then possible to plug in, for example, 4 mics in the XLRs and guitar and bass in 2 of the 6 line inputs and finally, two keyboards with stereo out to the additional 4 line ins, pan them all and have Garageband pick them up as 10 separate channels?
From what I've understood: your DAW will always only pick up 2 incoming channels (Left + Right), and it is from the mixer that you'll define which physical channels are routed to OUT Left or OUT Right. But to be clear, incoming Left channel will be a single audio track made of the mix of everything you panned Left, and incoming Right channel will be a single audio track made of the mix of everything you panned Right. There's no way you can send more than 2 single tracks to your DAW, using these not-multitrack USB audio mixers (Yamaha, Mackie, Soundcraft, Behringer, etc.). Some recommend the Tascam multitrack range, or the Behringer UFX range.
Thanks for all the helpful videos. I want to connect my iPad (lightning connection) to my MG10XU and then to my laptop to record with Audacity. What cable do I need to send music from the iPad to the mixer and where do I plug it in? Thanks!
Congratulations for the video. You explained all the content on a simple way, and made it understandable even for a non native english speaker. Greetings from Brazil.
That is such a great thing to know! I’ve had this mixer for almost 5 years now, and I never knew.
Definitely going to try this out!

When I use a condenser mic the input is very loud. I have the level a little bit and gain a little bit but is is very loud@@kettnercreative
When talking about Multi track recording i expect atleast 5 tracls and above, not 2
It's a helpful tip for anyone with a 2 input mixer/AI. So STFU and move on with your life.
2 only god dam
I think with the 12 channel one u can do 4 tracks lmao
@@NIP28, me too.
@@NIP28 only 2
Nice, short and good, no unimportant stupid talking. Very good
thanks for clear explanation i was thinking it will record 4 channels simultaneously

Yes thats disappointing tbh I already bought this. Not set up as yet as room was being decorated.
It is a 10input mixer but I get to use just two inputs in my interface... 😔😔
Same thing here... mine is 24input mixer
Yeah that’s disappointing- i purchased this without checking further- I was expecting at least 4 inputs but to know only captures 2 is a serious bummer.. I have a tiny usb interface that can do that job.
I was about to plump for that TASCAM model 12 ….. and then I saw this…I already have a Yamaha ag03 and it was EXCELLENT !!! I do like that the TASCAM can be used as as daw controller as well as MTR and AI…. EXCELLENT TUTORIAL ..
It's best you plump.
This video helps a lot thank you Jordan… Any advice for 3 or more mics?
I love the MG12XU because it has faders, clear and bright on/off switches for each channel and it has an audition button for each channel so you can set the gain for each channel without raising the main volume to 0. And it has a more accurate volume meter with more notches. And it doesn't need an external power brick because it's built in and the panel is at a nice angle because it's tilted.

I’m trying to record only the keyboard however the mixer is also recording in the background the instrumental that plays on my monitors. How can I sort this out?
Hello I have noticed that when using the USB for playback there is some distortion that come and goes .. what could be the issue
Is the recording quality any good? Converters, preamps up to scratch or is it second rate compared to say a Focusrite Scarlett?
Is it possible to do this with an RCA cable connected to pc then same process? Thanks
Hello, can we record in computer separate track per channel?? Or just one track channel only, i have plan to buy this for recording a full band
Talking about preamps, are the Scarlett 2i2 3rd better than this Yamaha Mixer?
They're almost identical with noise, but the Yamaha supplies 64dB of gain and the Scarlett supplies 57dB.
Hey Hoss thank you. Question, can this work on Blue Yetis as well that I have goin into Yamaha via 1/4 cables ?
Does the same approach apply if you were going to use a keyboard? I was not able to get the best audio output after recording a track following the manual. I also had high levels of hissing that could be heard through my headphones.
