Yamaha MG12XU Mixer Tutorial Part One
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- The Yamaha MG12XU is a 12-channel analog mixer with USB interface. It's a great console for smaller bands, corporate rental and AV work as well as simple home recording. In contrast to the MG20XU series this one is filmed with me behind the camera, which allows you to see all the small details of the knobs, faders and controls.

Thanks alot!
thank you so much.
Thanks. What measure of cable Do You use for the USB 2.0 connection?
@@juanriquelme9385 Typically 1.5 to 2m, although longer may be possible.
@@GLBProductions Thanks. I get a lot of hum noise with 1.8 meters. I don't know if the size, or the quality of the cable is the reason. Or both.
This is the best Yamaha MG12XU mixer tutorial I've come across on UA-cam. You've explained everything very well. Thank you
You're welcome Ajay :)
I am an electrical engineer by trade. Rarely does one encounter such concise language. Bravo.
Thanks for watching!
you are the best teacher ever...
Thanks for watching Agra!
Hands down some of the best tutorials on UA-cam! Thank you sir!
Hi. You probably do the absolute best instructions on UA-cam, it is a great pleasure to share your knowledge. I look forward to every new episode and have never been disappointed. Thanks
You're most welcome my friend 😊
I agree, absolutely....
I totally agree! Bruno is the best!
Me too.. i agree . BRUNO the best maestro
GLB always puts out high quality and very informative videos on gear. I LOVE IT. Thanks Bruno !
Wow. I am so glad I stumbled upon your video. Just bought the Yamaha M612XU Mixed today and watching this is so much better then reading the manual. Thanks for your work.
You're welcome Rafael, glad the video was helpful :)
This is by far the best mixer tutorial I've come across on UA-cam. I'm using this mixer now and you've explained everything I needed to know. Thank you.
You're welcome Evee, all the best with your music!
Completely i do agree with you/ the best tutorial.
By far the most helpful videos ive seen on mixers entirely!
Great to hear that!
I just learnt more in 20 minutes than I have in 10 years of live gigging 🤯 thanks for such an informative video
You're welcome! All the best for your music :)
I truly found this tutorial super useful, therefore, I think I've fallen in love with your way of give instructions. Thank you so much!
You're welcome Ivan, thanks for watching 😊
Thank you for this video. A very helpful introduction to not only the mixer, but the concepts involved as well.
You're most welcome.
Brilliant. Wish this came out sooner before I had to figure the MG12XU myself in a live setting!
Hope that doesn't happen again!
Brilliant, was just looking for an overview of this mixer. As always, thorough, detailed and extremely helpful. Many thanks.
You're welcome Spencer.
Best easy to understand, comprehensive, good Voice
Thanks for watching Alton :)
Thanks for this. I have used this mixer on a couple of small shows and was able to achieve some nice sound thanks to this video.
You're welcome, all the best with your shows!
Brilliant video! Learned exactly what I needed. Thank you for the extensive detail!
You're most welcome, very glad the video was helpful!
did my first sound gig last night with this mixer with a 5 piece band using every single channel! I should've watched this first!! but tonights show (same band :) will be a lot smoother thanks to this!!! so thank you!!!
That's great, hope your gig went well!
Just when I was starting to think about saving for a bit more time and getting this one instead of either the mg10xuf or the profx8 you post this video. Didn't even have to ask for it this time. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge. Bye, I have a video to watch.
You're welcome, hope the video was helpful in your decision :)
A tutorial on how to give a tutorial, impeccable as usual. Thanks 😊
You're welcome Stephen, glad you enjoyed it!
Not sure how I wound up here, but couldn't resist watching. Once I started listening to your delivery, I couldn't click away! I know this mixer very well. I'll have to say that your presentation style is fantastic! Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Just bought one of these (my first mixer), and can't believe how much it can do! I'm used to all the vintage gear, and your video is super helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome, glad the video was helpful :)
Stan, does the mixer have a built in audio interface for smartphones?
@@pennywiser9607 you'll need a special cable for that. It looks funky, three connections. A 3.5mm connector for your phone (which you'll probably need an adapter for) and then it splits off into two (an xlr, I believe, and a trs connected). Kettner creations channel does an excellent demo of it. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this video. It took me from not knowing anything about this mixer, to having a usable knowledge of it.
You're welcome, glad the video was helpful.
Thanks so much. I just bought this and hoping to be able to use it effectively. Very informative and clear instructions. Keep up the great work!
You're welcome Alberto, thanks for watching :)
You are a good teacher. Most other UA-camrs should learn from you.

You're welcome Dave.
I finally had time to watch this. Very good intro into this mixer. I really find the PFL function useful and I wish it was available on some of the smaller mixers I've used.
Yes, I would say the PFL feature is an absolute necessity for any serious live sound mixer.
PFL... what is that mean? Tnx😷

Very informative Video m i would like to ask ,what is the maison difference between this model and the MG10XUF they look the same with the same design ,am wondering if getting the MG10XUF over the MG12XU is a good option , thank you
There are significant differences between these two consoles: the MG12XU has an internal power supply, two aux sends and two subgroups.
@GLB Productions thanks for the reply sorry for asking the question on two of your videos keep up the good work
really helpful, thanks
You're welcome Andrew.

Thanks for watching :)
excellent.
Thanks for watching :)
Great Class ! I have a MG10XU doesn't have Aux , hopefully one day you can teach if theirs a possible way to use in ear monitors with it.
The MG10XU has FX, so you can route your IEM mix to the the FX out.
@@alexeytheinterpreter Thanks for the help !
Great job in explaining. I have subscribed. I need help with the MG 16
Thanks for watching Juan.
Thanks! I would like a video on the Yamaha MG10XU.
Thanks for the suggestion Dan.
nice
Hi, Fantastic tutorials! I was wondering if you have done a tutorial, or recommend one, for the MGP 12X. Thank you.
Ah yes the MGP series are significantly different to the MG series - I haven't been able to get access to one of these mixers in Singapore yet.
@@GLBProductions Thanks for replying.
Super
Good
Great video. I've bought one of these mixer to use for a dual-pc stream. I've yet to set it up but I was wondering if you could clarify something for me...
If I have 1 mic setup through channel one and it's going out through Aux 1 to PC 1 & Aux 2 to PC 2, if I use FX will it be on both inputs at the same time or is it isolated only to Aux 2?
Lastly, if I just wanted to speak to one audience (aux) at a time without the other hearing me, am I able to mute that Aux output without interfering with the other?
I'm very new to this, so this setup might not even work or make any sense. Some guidance would be appreciated. Thanks again!
Interesting question, not one I've gotten before! In this case, if you use the FX they will only ever go to Aux 1 - the internal FX cannot be sent to aux 2 when it is used as an external send because that would create a feedback loop.
In your situation, may I suggest a simpler solution: use the L&R outputs to split your signal: connect PC1 to the left main output and PC2 to the right. If you want the signal to go to both PCs, pan the mic channel center. If you want it to go to PC1 only, pan hard left, and vice versa for PC2. This will give you full functionality of the effects for both destinations, and also keep both of them post-fader and post-mute. If you want to kill the feed to both PCs without disturbing the level, just switch the channel OFF.
