I returned that BULLSHIT Focusrite usb interface and got the Yamaha AG06. The AG06 can be bus powered or plugged in. I have no latency issues, the sound quality is superb, has jacks for 1/4 or 1/8 inch and can even produce a bit of reverb & compression. Absolutely brilliant !
@@Texturas75 I don't remember the model number. Here were the problems: 1) the setup was tedious. Not a very good app. some details were left out. Very quirky. 2) It's ONLY powered by wall-wart (adapter). It came with a couple of slide on plugs. However, the default plug was European. If you misplace or lose the American piece.....you're screwed ! 3)The adapter was a cheap piece of crap. You can feel it's lack of quality when you pick it up. After a couple of days of normal usage, it broke. I couldn't power up the Focusrite. So, I returned that piece of garbage and bought the AG-06 ! Breath deep and smile.
My friend had a focusrite usb 2i2, 2nd generation for streaming, and he had one of the best quality when talking on stream/discord/teamspeak I've heard. So I bought myself one, and the Audio Technica AT2035. My quality was terrible, so I considered buying the same mic he had (the scarlett solo mic). Dunno why my quality was so bad with a mic that should be better, but for my point and question: I bought a new mixer today, was between the Yamaha AG06 usb and the Yamaha MG10xu. I went for the MG10xu, but I'm considering maybe going for the AG06 instead cos of the size.. Do you know if I lose many eq, reverb, effect, compressor-options when downgrading?
The Roland Quad Capture that I have does NOT have separate headset/monitor output, which is a huge setback for me! It has the same sample rate as the Yamaha, but less input possibilities, and it costed 1/4 more than the Yamaha! You can safely guess what my next interface is going to be! Great review, by the way. Very nice!
Super awesome interface. If you are looking for an USB interface i highly recommend this USB interface which happens to be a feature rich mixer as well. If you are looking at the scarletts, audients and motus of the world (1 or 2 channel mic preamps), you need a genuine reason to prefer those over this God sent interface/mixer. I am super impressed by the headphone amps on the Yamaha. It is one of the sweetest and very powerful easily driving my 300ohms HD600. Enjoying every bit of this interface/mixer.
You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks =)
Yeah this mixer is insane. I was working with Yamaha Canada as a FOH engineer, and I need to ask them if they can make a version of this with let's say 12 channels or more. The headset feature is especially nifty, not only because it's good for streaming, but because I can finally use my headset's mic instead of those stupid talkback microphone that you need to hunch over almost licking your board tbh ... sure I could set this up easily with a 1/4 to 1/8 jack adapter but those things are just never reliable in my experience. I could shell a third more of the price of the let's say the MG12 for a board like this. Those features should actually be the norm in 2021 for any mixer!
Thanks for your review. I bought the Yamaha AG06 for my little home studio. I like it, nice and also the size is just perfect. Using it mainly for mixing the output signals to the monitors. Recording the guitars and Bass usually with Line 6 Helix, and MIDI with the Focusrite Scarlett. Just for fun, I recorded a (simple) tune with the Yamaha AG06 amp: @ All guitars and bass with the AG06 amp simulation. Overall sounds not bad. The bass sounds surprisingly good (used some clean amp settings). The lead guitar pretty OK with neck pick-up (first half), but a bit thin on the bridge pick-up (2nd half). Overall workable. I did do some post processing: EQ, Compressor, Delay one the guitars (this is missing in the AG06 effects)
Received the latest AG06 Mk2 mixer/interface, and was initially disappointed in it. It appeared as though the Mic Preamps are kind of weak, so when I connected the device to my Bose S1 Pro, I got horrible feedback when the volume is good. But with further experimenting, I found the right gain setting to avoid feedback. There are only 4 Reverb presets on the Yamaha AG Controller software, and adjusting the parameters would take a degree in engineering! I was hoping to replace my 4 year old Mackie ProDX4 mixer because it does not have 48 V phantom power. Ah well, I mostly use Dynamic microphones anyhow! After I explored the AG06 Mk2 further, including trying to record part of a song on to Cakewalk, I've decided I'm going to keep the device. As to the Mackie ProDX4, I guess I'll find use for it, plus a friend would like to borrow it to explore the use of PA systems.
Nice run through. Mine arrives today. I mess around with karaoke at home and wanted some voice effects, a decent mic pre for my Sennheiser E835 and the loopback function that it offers so I can easily record my singing with karaoke tracks playing from an app on the same computer as I am doing the recording on in a different app. It is a great "jack of all trades" option.
Can I use this mixture to record Radio music shows to my Mac? I want Mixture to connect to Mic, 2 input music devices and output to my Mac so I can record music and voice all together to record music show for my Radio from home?
great review, planning to buy for my streams and use this divice with sennheiser hd 560s. My question: will I see any delay in sound while play games and use yamaha ag06 as my main sound card and will it drive 150-300 om headsets? since many headsets needs dac and amps to work at their potential. Thank you.
I have a question how you can take the audio to the phone because what I have is an iPhone for if I make a live singing it is heard with the quality that this mixer provides to Facebook, UA-cam or Instagram. Which of all those entries is and what cable should be used?
So there ARE EQ & Compression on Channel2? Their specs make it sound like they don't apply to channel 2, but if that's the case, I'm not sure why it comes up like that on the software screen.
@@GearItFirst So I actually e-mailed their support and they told me there is NOT Comp/EQ for channel 2. He told me if I wanted that, I would need the MGX10U (which obviously doesn't have near the adjustment of those 2 things like this unit does.) I still can't figure out why they make it look like the same exact controls apply to Ch2, but according to their own people, not the case
You can. This mixer by default sends the entire mix to the headset and monitor sends. However you can also choose to disable Channels 1 and 2 into the monitors.
Can you please make a video with instructions setting it up? I hooked it up, but I get no audio through my KRK's. Anyone have a good source for instructions?
Can you mute just one set of monitors, or mute button is for both sets at the same time ? Can you somehow control which monitors will play at the time ?

Yes they are. That's kind of the point. You can have effects in real time going out over your speakers. I just bought this because I wanted some simple vocal effects for live performance for a home karaoke system. I am guessing that if you played electric guitar and didn't want to carry an amp, this will also let you generate an amp like sound for live performance as well.
Thanks for the great review.. actually wanted to buy steinburg ur 22 + behringer analog mixer but I think this has it all .. one question please, can I connect ag06 to ipad for software dsp effects purpose (via usb) and route back the wet signal to an amplifier via the output? Thanks in advance
Hi. Can I plug in two guitars at the same time to both combo sockets? I would like to record two guitars or guitar and bass at the same time. Will it be possible with Yamaha AG06?
Nice review! I have some questions. If I change this settings of dsp effects ou amps, this will be stored when start again? On iPhone, can i choice a channel or every time put all together in mono?
Hi, I want to record my acoustic drum kit, 1 overhead and either 2 or 3 more for kick and toms and add the result to a drumless stereo track. Will this do the job or am I better getting something like the Behringer U Phoria Umc404hd? Great channel!
Hmmm 3 mics? You may need a phantom pack for the 3rd mic. I also did a video on the Presonus Ar12 USB that may fit your needs too as it records to separate channels.
Looking for some advice regarding this mixer. So basically I am wanting to live stream a DJ set on Facebook Live using my IPhone to do this. I have a laptop connected to my Pioneer DDJ-SB3 DJ controller. The controller has only one output (master RCA). So I am wanting to connect my controller to the Yamaha mixer and then from the Yamaha to my phone and also to my speakers so I can obviously hear what I’m doing. Is this even possible on the Yamaha or do I need something else? Cheers.
Hi there, I started to use garageband and im debating between Focusrite Scarlett Solo and this one, just to record my voice and some instruments. I got interested in the Yamaha because it has a lot more features, but all I want is to have the minimal noise in my recordings. Which one do you recommend. Thank you in advance for your time.
Is it possible to route separate audio to the headphone output and main output through my DAW? Basically I'm looking to use this mixer to DJ in Ableton and would need to use the headphones for my cue track while another audio track is playing through my main speakers.
When I record with the MG06 (no USB, no X) into my computer, there's a lot of microphone self-generated noise in my recordings. What could this be due to? The microphone? The cable? Or should I get a USB mixer instead? Thanks.
Hi, thank you for sharing, because I'm considering to buy this mixer,.. I have one question though, do I have to change buffer and latency setting on audacity or just leave it in default which is 100ms and -130? Thank you and greetings from Jakarta Indonesia
Is there any way to connect 2 sets of speakers to this? I want this to produce music and heard good things about the audio interface in this. I have some Yamaha HS7's as my studio monitors but want some other speakers too (more coloured listening speakers) to test my levels and having the ability to swap from one set to the other quickly would be good. Any way to do this? Nice review btw!
Arnoldo Offermann Hi thanks for the fast reply. I can only see 1 headphone 1/4" output? The other stereo outputs say they are to go to another mixer or something?
I'm wanting to start recording stuff and I wonder if the AG03 is like one of the best for a starter podcaster/streamer and if the Yamaha MG10XU is more worth it for an extra 85 euros. Or would you recommend even another brand for beginner recording? Also is there a way for audio to be set higher for the listeners but lower for me? Any help would be appreciated.
+Sylvex Dragonskin TheMG10XU is a GREAT mixer, but has no USB capability. Sounds like you're best with the the AG06. You can also turn up your headphones or monitors WITHOUT affecting listener's output
Arnoldo Offermann For now I don't know how to do that, but I'll look for more info about the 3 since the people I asked all recommend smth different :D Thanks for your answer though! Btw, the MG10XU does have USB. And just to ask why would the AG03 not be good?
Hi Everyone, I have a question: I am considering buying the AG06 for my home studio but I don't really understand if it is possible to connect an instrument to channel 1, namely a bass guitar. Is that possible? I am asking because I want to connect a bass guitar on channel 1 (mono), a synth on channel 2 (mono) and a keyboard to channel 3 & 4 (stereo). Do you guys know if this will work? Thanks for any reply and/or suggestion"
+I. Balazs Steinberg helped with this one, too, I believe. I don't have the UR44 to compare against. As for buffer sizes, honestly, no idea. I can find out the limits... keep in mind it also depends on your computer.
+Arnoldo Offermann Please check the driver settings here: www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/mixers/ag/manual/audio/index_en.jsp and the values at the "ASIO" tab at the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver - or the equivalent on OS X. They should be in samples, like 64s, 128, etc. Also, does the USB ASIO driver provide just one single input / output? So even it has 6 input and 4 outputs, the audio to and from the computer goes through a single USB output in Cubase? thanks!
@@GearItFirst sorry what I meant was if you use usb from the mixer direct to a mobile phone and not using a laptop or Mac would you still get stereo. I want to use the mixer for streaming live and don't want to use laptop if I can get away with it?
I kind of miss the ability to actually change the EQ on the inputs, because my current one offers this functionality and I couldn't live without it. Maybe there is a good Software solution but if the AG06 would offer something like a hardware EQ I would buy it in a heartbeat. Also, are the preamps good or do they create a lot of noise? (My XLR Mic has a low volume sadly) (Currently using my old-ish Xenyx Q802USB, don't buy if you need good preamps!)
You can do this with the EQ button on each channel. You use the software live or you can preload it. GREAT pre-amps. I do my tutorials and live streams with this board.
Cool, thanks for the quick response. If that is the case, I might consider upgrading to the AG03, because I don't need that many channels and the rest of the internals is basically the same. But I've heard that, if you are live monitoring, the highs can be quite harsh and taxing on the ears. Do you agree with that or was your experience 'flawless'?
That seems to be a yes. The guy is saying he got it working using Ardor and JACK without the requirement for any drivers. In the video Arnoldo was saying that it works on Ipad without drivers so I would expect it to work to some extent with Linux. The question would be whether you could use the "two independent inputs" audio interface mode and whether the loopback mode will work. I am guessing that the loopback mode does not require anything of the connected computer because the looping occurs in the mixer hardware. I would be very confident that it will work at least as single audio input with the mixed sound. In any event I am going to try it on Linux first before resorting to Windows if it doesn't work well.
+Arnoldo Offermann Thanks for the reply i was using loopback for the sound effects but i noticed if i had someone talking in skype they would hear them self, is there a way to stop that?
+Bleaqs Loopback is DESIGNED to play back everything to the input, including all sounds coming from the computer. That will include your Skype caller, so of course the Skype caller will hear themselves. Very annoying, but that is by design. To record a Skype call for podcasting purposes, use a different mic, such as the laptop's built-in mic, for Skype. Extremely easy to set this inside Skype. That way your caller hears only you.

+Sylvex Dragonskin TheMG10XU is a GREAT mixer, but has no USB capability. Sounds like you're best with the the AG06. You can also turn up your headphones or monitors WITHOUT affecting listener's output
Arnoldo Offermann For now I don't know how to do that, but I'll look for more info about the 3 since the people I asked all recommend smth different :D Thanks for your answer though! Btw, the MG10XU does have USB. And just to ask why would the AG03 not be good?
What is your mic ?
Can i power this mixer with just USB powerbank for just mixing purpose?
+Zatoichiable Yup! :)
Hi Everyone, I have a question: I am considering buying the AG06 for my home studio but I don't really understand if it is possible to connect an instrument to channel 1, namely a bass guitar. Is that possible? I am asking because I want to connect a bass guitar on channel 1 (mono), a synth on channel 2 (mono) and a keyboard to channel 3 & 4 (stereo). Do you guys know if this will work? Thanks for any reply and/or suggestion"
Yes but you have to switch channels between your bass guitar and your synth, as only channel 2 accepts basses or guitars directly.
Can you tell me what ASIO buffer sizes can be set in Cubase?
Any experience how does it compete with the Steinberg / Yamaha UR44?
+I. Balazs Steinberg helped with this one, too, I believe. I don't have the UR44 to compare against.
As for buffer sizes, honestly, no idea. I can find out the limits... keep in mind it also depends on your computer.
+Arnoldo Offermann Please check the driver settings here: www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/mixers/ag/manual/audio/index_en.jsp and the values at the "ASIO" tab at the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver - or the equivalent on OS X. They should be in samples, like 64s, 128, etc.
Also, does the USB ASIO driver provide just one single input / output? So even it has 6 input and 4 outputs, the audio to and from the computer goes through a single USB output in Cubase?
thanks!
thanks for your review, i wanna ask if there's big different between the AG06 and the AG03?
+Firas Mainly # of channels. For the small price diff, go with the 6.
Arnoldo Offermann alright, thanks!!
Anytime- thanks for watching!
great vid. just question, can I use the 06 for broadcasting a live show on my internet station? I use SAM broadcaster. thanks
+George Neocleous The mixer was made to work for live broadcasting. On SAM's input options, just choose the AG sound card.
fantastic, thanks for the reply Arnoldo
Anytime!
Hello again Arnoldo, is there anyway I can PM you?
No idea.. don't use Google Plus. :/
Could I use this console to play a live set on FACEBOOK? Will it give me Stereo sound?
Yes!
What is your Micrphone ??
IS IT GOOD FOR MUSIC COMPOSERS? FOR EXAMPLE IS QUITAR PLAYED NICE OR ANY CLIPS SOUNDED?
yes! :)
too late i bought the scarlet i24 2nd gen ,today
Soooo you're saying you're sittin' on the fence on this one ...
LOL!
so IT IS!! "insanly
Does anyone know if this is compatible with Mac OS Yosemite?
+asherbruner Yes... and El Capitan
You have an extremely noisy room. The noise background is too high.
That was your mom 🤷🏻♂️
If you use the lighting adapter into a phone do you still get stereo?
Yes. But why? You can use USB.
@@GearItFirst sorry what I meant was if you use usb from the mixer direct to a mobile phone and not using a laptop or Mac would you still get stereo. I want to use the mixer for streaming live and don't want to use laptop if I can get away with it?
@@Whitty43 Yes. You'd still get stereo.
What goes into the auxiliar?????
Phone or any source.
Can i plug my headset (jack 6.3) for playing games ?
I use the splitter adapter for my headset.
But it's work ? Because i have an xlr/jack headset.. So if i can plug my headset...
Where do I get iPhone connector
+Charles Crosby Apple Store sells it. Just look for camera connectivity kit.
I kind of miss the ability to actually change the EQ on the inputs, because my current one offers this functionality and I couldn't live without it.
Maybe there is a good Software solution but if the AG06 would offer something like a hardware EQ I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Also, are the preamps good or do they create a lot of noise? (My XLR Mic has a low volume sadly)
(Currently using my old-ish Xenyx Q802USB, don't buy if you need good preamps!)
You can do this with the EQ button on each channel. You use the software live or you can preload it.
GREAT pre-amps. I do my tutorials and live streams with this board.
Cool, thanks for the quick response. If that is the case, I might consider upgrading to the AG03, because I don't need that many channels and the rest of the internals is basically the same.
But I've heard that, if you are live monitoring, the highs can be quite harsh and taxing on the ears. Do you agree with that or was your experience 'flawless'?
I am interested in it because I want to radio and where
Do I I get the
Does it work with linux?
I'm being told NO but maybe this would work?

thanks
That seems to be a yes. The guy is saying he got it working using Ardor and JACK without the requirement for any drivers. In the video Arnoldo was saying that it works on Ipad without drivers so I would expect it to work to some extent with Linux. The question would be whether you could use the "two independent inputs" audio interface mode and whether the loopback mode will work.
I am guessing that the loopback mode does not require anything of the connected computer because the looping occurs in the mixer hardware.
I would be very confident that it will work at least as single audio input with the mixed sound.
In any event I am going to try it on Linux first before resorting to Windows if it doesn't work well.
How were you playing sound effects do I need a additional cable?
+Bleaqs It has a built-in sound card and can loop sound back into the computer.
+Arnoldo Offermann Thanks for the reply i was using loopback for the sound effects but i noticed if i had someone talking in skype they would hear them self, is there a way to stop that?
Not really.. Skype has a delay. :/
+Bleaqs Loopback is DESIGNED to play back everything to the input, including all sounds coming from the computer. That will include your Skype caller, so of course the Skype caller will hear themselves. Very annoying, but that is by design. To record a Skype call for podcasting purposes, use a different mic, such as the laptop's built-in mic, for Skype. Extremely easy to set this inside Skype. That way your caller hears only you.
Your mother must be very special woman! Your voice is perfect for cartoons :)
Love your joy.
But....I am stupid
I will never understand how to use this kind of shit
you can not record and listen to logic at the same time. it doubles up. useless waste of my time and money
Yes you can. Read take it off loop back
I have already had this wonderful mixer for some time now I wanted to review some tutorials to remind me of its functions
