Where would you use your Yamaha DM3S 22-channel Digital Mixer? Let us know in the comments, and be sure to grab your Yamaha from Sweetwater 👉 sweetwater.sjv.io/YamahaDM3SMixer
I’m a Drummer and this would make a perfect , powerful dedicated mixer for my kit for studio, Live , etc. could make many presets and use them in various set lists . Great size, great features and its Yamaha. Only wish it had multitrack onboard sd card to be totally stand alone , no computer needed to record live shows. I know I can record 2 track on usb , but would love multitrack to be able to import in a DAW later if needed.
What about if I have a guitar fridge full of 80's processors? Can it compete with an Allen and Heath MixWizard4? How many aux sends and returns does it have? How much headroom does it have?
That would be perfect for my corporate gigs because all I need is something small for about 10-15 talking heads and about 4 auxes to bring in my webex feeds and 2-channels for my prerecorded intro and outro tracks.
Great. It has a shaving mirror. Please manufactures, take back all those glossy screens and give me my good ol matte screen back. Looking forward using this outside. Daytime. Have a nice summer!
Looks perfect for a small home studio. The amount of features you get for the price is amazing. Seriously considering this one as an upgrade from an analogue mixer (also Yamaha).
@@FintanMoloney Get an interface for that? You'll get better preamps, better conversion, better everything because it doesn't need to do everything what makes a mixer expensive, the mixing. It just needs to be the inter-face between the analog and digital and the other way around. That's all. You don't need processing. You don't need mixing. You don't need routing. You don't need everything to be low-latency.
Hi! A question regarding the Dante vresion. Does it mean that dante version remote their 16 channels to the stage box, or it is 16 channels expansion? Sorry for my poor english.
Hey Nick, Nice work on the video! Do you know if there is a multiband compressor built in to the DM3? (if not, is there a way to mult the input signal and create a faux multiband into 2 channels?) Thank you for the video :)
Hey there! That’s a great question. Yes, you are able to access a multi-band compressor on the DM3. Onboard, you’ll see that you’ll have main access to their 1-knob compressor, just for basic compression. But, through their VST Rack Elements software, you’re able to integrate all the plug-ins you’d like. It’s essentially a plug-in hosting software package. Here’s some more info regarding that: usa.yamaha.com/products/proaudio/software/vst_rack/index.html Feel free to reach out with any further questions! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwaterThis requires the Dante card variant of the DM3, correct? More importantly, is the multiband compressor (via VST Rack Elements) able to be used as an insert type FX on (for example) a mic channel on the DM3, if so how much additional latency would be introduced? Thank you for the reply !
This does look interesting and glad to see a new mixer being released. SOmethings that stand out missing but perhaps just not explicitely stated in the vid. No android tablet support like QSC Touchmix (and many other digital mixers have)? No Parametric eq on outputs (only graphic)? No multitrack direct to usb recording option (like touchmix, ui24 and several other digital mixers such as ah qu and sq series offer)?
I wanted to agree with you. But: you can simply connect a sd-card reader to it, or an usb stick or a hard drive. No need for a computer. Maybe you haven’t recognised this feature?
@@dirkpehrke9909 Thank you. No, I did not know you could do this . Where do you hook these devices up ( choosing one of course). Also how do you then send the 16 individual tracks to the device? This is wonderful news as I am a Drummer and want a smaller dedicated digital mixer/ multitrack recorder for all shows, rehearsals , etc. I’m currently using a Behringer X32 and it’s all too much for what I need. I don’t use 85% of that units capabilities. Thanks very much :).
@@dirkpehrke9909 that’s what I thought. I couldn’t figure how to get all 16. That usb stereo only. Thanks for looking out ! Maybe an update in the future ? Let’s hope. Thanks
@@IslandDigital I own a Tascam Model 12 that records all separate channels to a sd card and if wanted simultaneously to a DAW. The best 600,- I ever invested. Even 10-20 years ago some cheap Behringer desks could record the separate channels to a USB drive, so I kind of expected this feature.
As a drummer, the Yamaha Reface DX and YC are two things that all drummers would find a perfect compliment to their music life I'm getting the same joy as sitting down on the drums. So cool.
@@zmarasigan9788 The YC is such a blues instrument giving the drummer another way to play melodically the rhythms that are in our technical ability. It just offers the perfect instrument. The DX can add bass and harmony, throw that together and you're your own studio band. I never get up from these two instruments without laughing or a smile on my face from learning something new. All without breaking my back trying to move a full size organ.
They’ve already got stage boxes. It likely that this standard model isn’t truly meant for much, likely straight copper in and out. But the Dante variant would be able to connect to a Tio or the 16 channel Rio with ease (or any other Dante enabled stage box)
Me as well, form factor and price is great... if it just had a way to connect a stage box via ethernet cable, one that is equally as well priced... Dante from what I've seen is great stuff, but I haven't come across any that are affordable in the sense that a Behringer stage box is... I'm leaning towards a Midas X18 or Behringer X32 Compact (not as small as this) ... but partly due to the affordable cost of adding 8ch and 16ch stage boxes to it... gonna have to look into the Dante thing more... but they missed the mark in a couple places I think... Control room out... talk back mic input ... a stereo in , or 2...but at least one 1/8 inch and/or RCA input would he nice... the outputs as pairs... i guess I can live with that and with only 3 monitor mixes... but it would be so much more appealing with a couple small tweaks ....it's an affordable and small unit, an affordable stage box to go with it would be HUGE!!!
Wow. Really a great console for the price. The Yamaha Rio 1608 stage box with 16 in and 8 out is almost 3 times more money. However I sure hope Yamaha will ad a Dugan automixer in their next firmware update. That would make this console perfect for round table pod cast and other broadcasting.
It won't "record" the multitrack, but it will send and return 18 channels via the USB (18x18), or record /playback 2 track mixes with a USB drive on the deck.
Don’t really get, why companies still try to sell touch screens as the cool thing. They are always worse than what people are used from their Tablets and phones, and their haptic is the worst thing you can have on a device, where you quickly want to change values. That’s a mixer. It should be used in live context. Who wants to touch around on a screen to hopefully hit the correct 10x10 pixels to either look for that knob, that’s not lit, or move the finger and hope for the best, that you don’t make it worse…. On really really small devices (like the 1010bluebox) I can get it, but anything else? Why use this, instead of one that’s controlled by an iPad, that has a 1000times better touch screen AND is something you can move around with?
Exactly. My TouchMix 16 is a great mixer, except for the crappy touch screen. It makes adjusting things on the fly a complete nightmare. This touchscreen looks just as laggy.
I totally agree. I wish this unit had a knob array for eq, at the very least. Who wants to poke around on a touch screen during a live event when you need to make an emergency eq adjustment?
Exactly. Yamaha just realiced they didn’t have a mixer in the exploding “intro” segment an there is several better options out there with better ui’s. It looks “clean” and compact. But Especially Behringer and Presonus pretty much have nailed this whole segment down and both have better and more features dependent what you need and what workflow you feel best.
Hello, Connor! This will not have an auto-mixer feature. Thanks for the interest! Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1732, Spunde@Sweetwater.com
No multitrack direct to usb drive or SDHC card? I’d go for the Presonus SL32SC at under $2k, which offers not only direct multitrack to SDHC, but way more EQ on outputs, plug-ins, and built in wireless control.
Looks like a great new small format mixing console, could this be the long awaited successor of the famous 01X of the early 2000’s? I still have 1 working by the way, only in stand alone mode unfortunately as no current drivers.
It would be a true sucessor if it had solid transport controls and a jog wheel. For people doing VO or sound design, that's priceless. I'm still keeping an eye on 01X's in case someone finds a way to make them work again.
@@oldwave1 Nope. This looks like a DM1000 successor (last compact DM series console which itself is basically a 01v96 on steroids). I hope this means a 02R96/DM2000 get a successor too.
I need to install this unit on top of my rack and have it prewired. But I cannot find a rack that has a high enough lid to accommodate the screen that sits about 6 inches high.
Was hoping this was the new/replacement for the QL lineup...this is just an "updated" TF...TF is so bad they are need to re-brand it.. Great price point, too weak a console...I'll stick with an X32 at this point
Loving this form factor and versatility! Can anyone recommend something just a little bit bigger with more knobs to use for quick EQ changes and whatnot with similar I/O and sound quality?
Seems like it’s a smaller TF. Same exact interface. Was hoping this would have the same interface, routing and fx as the ql/cl. Especially for how much this thing costs.
I saw nothing special over m32 or anything else in the range. Automixing? How is the dante implementation...is it like cl5 and rivage where you can stats of your shure wireless receivers?
Hello, 4show824! It’s a fixed EQ but also has a ducking feature. Are you maybe referring to multiband compression? What are you trying to do? Give us a shout and we can discuss in more depth!

@@sweetwater I am refering to dynamic eq, like you could do in plugins like FabFilter ProQ3( Every console should follow proQ3 example by the way, its just great!)

Hi Synth Perros, thanks for the question! You could potentially use this mixer in a limited way to do multichannel audio. Its built in interface is big enough, and you can likely group faders for controlling all the 8 outputs at once. However, I do not believe that is really what this mixer was designed for and I think it would be a pretty clumsy solution. Grabbing an interface better designed for this like an Apollo X16 would be a better choice. I love ATMOS systems, and would love to dig into what would work best for you, just give me a ring! Drake Sobehrad, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3271, drake_sobehrad@sweetwater.com
Hey there! Yes, you can certainly run WAV files as backing tracks on these mixers. You can load those files onto the console either via the USB type A port (with a thumb drive), or via the USB type B port, which you would run to a computer. I hope this helps! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
@@thecoastCoverband After checking with our Yamaha rep over here, it sounds like you’ll just have access to those 16 channels (2 banks of 8).

Off course it’s multitrack recorder also . But Daw is compulsory for that. In Qsc touch mix u wil get all separate tracks by default in usb after recording

Hi Tamás, great question! The DM3 has two FX Returns. You can send whichever inputs to the two FXs and send the Return to whichever output mixes you wish to hear it. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Hi, James! Thanks for your interest. The DM3 mixers have 8 freely assignable outputs. Assuming you are using two outputs for a main stereo mix, that leaves 6 to use as auxiliary sends, monitor mixes, or anything else you might need to get audio out of the mixer for.

It compares, why wouldn't it? When you compare the 2 the SQ series is more feature rich and I/O capable for a live environment. In a studio environment, other workflow aspects can be made up for so what chiefly matters is the sound coming from the board, the rest is personal choice and preference. But overall comparison I would say that for Live use, spend the money and get an SQ. I'm gonna hold out for as long as I can to see if there will be a more affordable facelift of the QL series like Rivage for CL (although that price is still too rich for my blood). It is getting about time for QL and CL to be allowed to ride off into the sunset as the heroes of live sound that they were.
The Mackie DLZ Creator is good competition. The DM3S goes up to 96kHz while the Mackie only goes to 24 bit/48kHz. The DM3S has more inputs than DLZ Creator BUT the DLZ Creator is $900 cheaper and a much better user interface/workflow.
Thanks for the review Nick. I was really excited about this mixer when I first heard about it, but only having 2 FX engines is very disappointing for live sound. Also no parametric EQ on the output. Maybe a firmware update in the future. For now I would choose their TF1.
I hate not having a power adapter on something like this. Way easier to replace a standard power cable in case something happens as a gigging musician.
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, with the DM-series mixers, you’ll be able to apply EQ to any channel being routed to any of the outputs. Yamaha’s reference manual goes into more detail, and can be found here: manual.yamaha.com/pa/mixers/dm3/rm/en-US/index.html Feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

Giving the drummer control over his own in ear monitor is pretty cool. He can use his own phone to adjust his mix and only his mix, witch is even password locked.
It's more than 5 bands, the preview only shows 5 bands and can interact with them but if you expand it like the other processors then you get the full geq
@@ThatGuy-ru8ms Thanks, I only saw a glimpse and had to look around different videos of this board to find out it's a full 31 band. if it was a 5 band geq there's always a work around. An external GEQ or a dbx venue perhaps. This board looks interesting tho. After all the headless mixing boards that came out, it's always fun to mix on faders.

But I cannot find a rack that has a high enough lid to accommodate the screen that sits about 6 inches high.
So sick, wish it had more than 4 TRS
Can You Daisy Chain The To One Or More Yamaha DM3S 22 Together ? Thanks
How do they come up w 22x channels? Can u hook it up to a tio?
Can somebody identify those modules on the left that appear to be flanking a MOOG Sound Studio?!
Was hoping this was the new/replacement for the QL lineup...this is just an "updated" TF...TF is so bad they are need to re-brand it.. Great price point, too weak a console...I'll stick with an X32 at this point
Latency over USB 24 bit 96 64 samples.
Android and windows compatibility?
Loving this form factor and versatility! Can anyone recommend something just a little bit bigger with more knobs to use for quick EQ changes and whatnot with similar I/O and sound quality?
X32 Compact is probably your next best bet in terms of price and the features you asked for.
I wonder if routing is as flexible as Midas/ behringer x32, one reason I ditch yamaha tf series is because how intentionally limited are.
Seems like it’s a smaller TF. Same exact interface. Was hoping this would have the same interface, routing and fx as the ql/cl. Especially for how much this thing costs.
I saw nothing special over m32 or anything else in the range. Automixing?
How is the dante implementation...is it like cl5 and rivage where you can stats of your shure wireless receivers?
It looks very nice but not VCA?
On top of the screen is a little gear icon, this represents "the settings". Dude, how old are sweetwater customers? 85?
Does that eq section allow for dynamic eq?
Hello, 4show824! It’s a fixed EQ but also has a ducking feature. Are you maybe referring to multiband compression? What are you trying to do? Give us a shout and we can discuss in more depth!
Thanks for the interest!

@@sweetwater I am refering to dynamic eq, like you could do in plugins like FabFilter ProQ3( Every console should follow proQ3 example by the way, its just great!)
I have more questions, When working with daw, will it run with Ableton live out of the box like it supposedly does with Cubase or will it need some extra programing?
Thanks in advance.
@@4show824 It’s not as plug and play with Ableton as it is with Cubase, but it does play nice. You have to do some manual mapping to get it all dialed in.

Cool offering. Personally I'd rather pay a bit more and have 16 faders to go with the 16 inputs, but I'm sure I'd get used to it.
why not get the Tf1?
I bet there will be a DM5 someday
@@paulloth Good question. I just looked at it, and it does look killer!
@@paulloth TF series the worst mixer Yamaha ever made
will this work for something like atmos, dolby, 5.1 or an 8 channel output setup for multi channel ?
Hi Synth Perros, thanks for the question! You could potentially use this mixer in a limited way to do multichannel audio. Its built in interface is big enough, and you can likely group faders for controlling all the 8 outputs at once. However, I do not believe that is really what this mixer was designed for and I think it would be a pretty clumsy solution. Grabbing an interface better designed for this like an Apollo X16 would be a better choice.
I love ATMOS systems, and would love to dig into what would work best for you, just give me a ring!

16 in or 22 in?
I have a question tf1 or dm3? What better?
My old mentor once told me "Yamaha Consoles are for people who don't want to learn how to mix audio properly".
Hi can you play wav files like backing tracks?Thanks for the video super.
Hey there! Yes, you can certainly run WAV files as backing tracks on these mixers. You can load those files onto the console either via the USB type A port (with a thumb drive), or via the USB type B port, which you would run to a computer.
I hope this helps!

@@sweetwater Thanks Nick great video Gr.Ness
@@sweetwater Hi if I want to use the Dm3 as a controller with Cubase,can I control more than 16 channels?
@@thecoastCoverband After checking with our Yamaha rep over here, it sounds like you’ll just have access to those 16 channels (2 banks of 8). Along with that, you’re going to have access to transport control on the console.
I hope this helps!

No footswitch for effects?.
Can I record vocals to a laptop using onboard eq or mixer?
Hi Don, great question. Yes, you can use the USB output from this mixer to record 18x18 channels to a computer.
Thanks!

I HOPE Yamaha does a similar mixer but a multi-track recorder. 😓😓😓
Off course it’s multitrack recorder also . But Daw is compulsory for that. In Qsc touch mix u wil get all separate tracks by default in usb after recording
@@singingmachineentertainments ok. Thanks a lot.
@@singingmachineentertainments that is what i meant.... internal recorder.
PERFECT 😎👍🏻
hmm.. cool looking light weight mixi :)
Can you operate it remotely with an iPad
Hello, great question. You can operate remotely with an iPad but you do need to have a dedicated router for that feature, as one is not built in.
Thanks!
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Wish they would come out with a DM5.
Hi,
How many effects can be used on a channel simultaneously?
Hi Tamás, great question! The DM3 has two FX Returns. You can send whichever inputs to the two FXs and send the Return to whichever output mixes you wish to hear it.
Thanks!
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Does this Mixer have Aux Sends?
Hi, James! Thanks for your interest. The DM3 mixers have 8 freely assignable outputs. Assuming you are using two outputs for a main stereo mix, that leaves 6 to use as auxiliary sends, monitor mixes, or anything else you might need to get audio out of the mixer for.
I hope this helps - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

Does this compare to the Allen Heath SQ Series?
It compares, why wouldn't it?
When you compare the 2 the SQ series is more feature rich and I/O capable for a live environment. In a studio environment, other workflow aspects can be made up for so what chiefly matters is the sound coming from the board, the rest is personal choice and preference.
But overall comparison I would say that for Live use, spend the money and get an SQ. I'm gonna hold out for as long as I can to see if there will be a more affordable facelift of the QL series like Rivage for CL (although that price is still too rich for my blood). It is getting about time for QL and CL to be allowed to ride off into the sunset as the heroes of live sound that they were.
The Mackie DLZ Creator is good competition. The DM3S goes up to 96kHz while the Mackie only goes to 24 bit/48kHz. The DM3S has more inputs than DLZ Creator BUT the DLZ Creator is $900 cheaper and a much better user interface/workflow.
Thanks for the review Nick. I was really excited about this mixer when I first heard about it, but only having 2 FX engines is very disappointing for live sound. Also no parametric EQ on the output. Maybe a firmware update in the future. For now I would choose their TF1.
ITs a budget console, what do you expect?
I hate not having a power adapter on something like this. Way easier to replace a standard power cable in case something happens as a gigging musician.
Lite version of Yamaha Tf series
I want!
does it have eq on aux out?
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, with the DM-series mixers, you’ll be able to apply EQ to any channel being routed to any of the outputs. Yamaha’s reference manual goes into more detail, and can be found here:
manual.yamaha.com/pa/mixers/dm3/rm/en-US/index.html

Blue tooth capabilities ?
This or X32 Compact?
What about the converters? What converters does it have? Thanks!
Superb 🥀🌺🥀🌹🌸
price???
That's nice, but please someone make a line mixer like that.
Don't need all those preamps.
1699 The Price always felt like they should just lead with that
Compression?
Why only I Pad?
Never let the musicians have control of their own mix
Giving the drummer control over his own in ear monitor is pretty cool. He can use his own phone to adjust his mix and only his mix, witch is even password locked.
I was referring more to regular monitors, not in ears
Price?
Sub $2000, pre sales tax / VAT, this replaces the TF series as the cheap entry level board.
so... a TF with a CL look but micro size. Not bad.
5 band GEQ?
It's more than 5 bands, the preview only shows 5 bands and can interact with them but if you expand it like the other processors then you get the full geq
@@ThatGuy-ru8ms Thanks, I only saw a glimpse and had to look around different videos of this board to find out it's a full 31 band. if it was a 5 band geq there's always a work around. An external GEQ or a dbx venue perhaps. This board looks interesting tho. After all the headless mixing boards that came out, it's always fun to mix on faders.
for the same price or less you can get the midas m32r which has a lot more features!
M32R is about $1k more.
