5.0 out of 5 stars I was looking for something that was reliable sounded great, and had a good feature set

M.P. · September 4, 2016

I looked at buying a few different mixers before deciding on this one. I was looking for something that was reliable sounded great, and had a good feature set. This mixer is great for a few reasons1) It's yamaha. They are generally pretty reliable. I own other yamaha music equipment and haven't had any issues with any of those items2) Has good fx including a compressor. The mic compressor alone makes this product so much better then other mixers in terms of versatility. For recording its nice to have a little compression for the vocal before it hits the AD converter.3) You can use this as an interface. I can't comment on its use as a an interface as I own a universal audio solo 610 interface that I love. But its a good feature to have.4) The reverb: sounds wonderful. Particularly room 1, fx 3. It helps to glue everything together and put it in the same space.5) The use the fx send and it has been great for a ton of uses. I use it mostly as an external bus.Whats great here is that you can use the internal effect like say a reverb and mix in a little. You can simultaneously use the fx send and send out to a delay unit, and then place the return on another channel. Other units its fx send or internal fx, you won't be able to use both.6) Feels sturdy and seems well built. So far i've had it on well over 20 hours of use and its been good. I'll update this in a few months.7) Value. For the money if you compare the comparable mixers like behringer and mackie I think the choice is clear. Both of the former companies have reliability issues. Mackie preamps are good but fx are bad. Behringer preamps are hit and miss but fx are good. Yamaha is overall great.Cons: For me nothing really except I wish the EQ had three bands for every channel. And I wish I could have an fx send that wasn't tied to the internal fx.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound and features.

This is a high quality, great sounding mixer that's easy to set up and use. I originally bought the 10 channel version to connect media source (iTunes/Apple Music) to existing amplifier for practicing drums. Once I got it, I connected a few low quality mics to my Kick and snare drum and Oh Man! this really woke up my drums. I immediately bought the 12 channel version to mic up the rest of my drums (8 pc set) and record my playing.PROs: Easy set up (plug and play to MacBook via USB for playback (Apple Music) and recording (Garage Band) with great sound using 5 low end mics. (2 overhead, kick, hats and snare). FX really adds to overall sound/experience. Excellent mixer for live performances.CONs: Only has 6 mic inputs and 6 balanced (RCA-1/4" Phono jacks) so I wasn't able to mic up my additional 6 toms (used overhead mics for toms and cymbals). Also, the "final mix" is done on the mixer itself, pre recording, meaning the output is stereo only (2 tracks using left/right if you use pan knobs on 2 channels) vs. multi track recording, so no adjustments/fine tuning can be done on individual channels/mics in the mix post recording.Due to the cons and wanting "best of both worlds" (live performance with multi track recording) and more importantly, more mic inputs for toms. I ended up returning this mixer.I've considered the 16 and 20 channel versions of this mixer by Yamaha but overall cost would get me more inputs but still not have multitrack adjustment flexibility post recording.Leaning towards an audio interface by PreSonus or Focusrite for recording and possibly feed the output of that to the 6 or 10 channel Yamaha MG**XU for live/practice.This is a great mixer and sorry I had to return it. I would definitely recommend this mixer if you don't need excessive mic inputs with multi track, post recording processing.

Good basic sound mixer

This is basically a good sound sources mixer. I feel only Echo should be added for first two or four inputs. Next level model is having sound effects and higher level model is having connectivity with computer/ laptop.

exelente producto

Tiny piece of art from Yamaha

A.O. · June 14, 2016

How ever it took much time then expected. But it is one of the tiny piece of art from Yamaha. I will be using it for a mini church installation and this fits perfectly for the purpose. Moreover there are no faders only knobs that will keep this away from dust and requirement of replacing of faders in times to come. Only thing it is pricy 8k for this tiny size. I bought one 12 channel soundcraft for another similar usage and that costs me around 18k. The price could be better less around 6 k for the Yamaha tiny piece of art.
