Yamaha MG10XU Analog Mixer

I was confused for USB interface vs mixers vs Karaoke/ independent microphones. I wanted a setup to cover both live vocal and instrumental performances with option to record to PC or pod-casting. I did some research for beginner to intermediate level home studio setup. Also visited a professional recording studio before finalizing this amateur setup.If you're confused whether to go for USB audio interface or mixer:1) USB audio interfaces with RCA input/ line inputs - go for this if you want to RECORD audio from a mixer, amplifier or any other AV device that has AV output. This can work to record cassette / CD player audio to your computer. This is the cheapest option with reasonable quality. Behringer gives most cost effective options.2) USB audio interfaces with both mic and line inputs- these are good for recording from AV source and mic input particularly for recording live music performance with instruments. Costlier than 1 above and the cost increases as you look for more inputs sources. Example, Focusrite Scarlet, Behringer, Steinberg, Zoom etc.3) Audio Mixers: You need a mixer, if you've multiple input sources. Do not go for audio interface with many inputs - you'll not get results with desired flexibility. ** Go for a mixer with as many inputs as you need for live performance and add USB audio interface for recording.** You're good to go for both live performance, recording to PC, pod-casting, Karaoke performances. Example, Yamaha, Mackie, Behringer, Steinberg etc.There are analog audio mixers with USB interface (like this MG10XU), but the recording results over USB are not as expected (USB sound output is too low) unless you go for costly digital mixers. I went for UCA222 with this Yamaha MG10XU that gives best possibility for all possible combinations for an professional quality amateur home studio.The download of Cubase available with this is trouble-free from Steinberg, but it is too huge and technical for beginners. Audacity is a better option for beginners. Windows 10 recognizes MG10XU as recording device and configure the drivers. Personally, I'm satisfied with recording via MG10XU USB interface to Audacity with some Amplification effect.This model MG10XU is a piece of beauty and quality. Nice value for money. The built, finish, presentation is good and controls' handling is smooth. The sound quality rendered by Yamaha is excellent and the effects are good. You'll need a lot of cables and connector/ converters, so research before you buy accessories to minimize cables, connections and converters. Went for Yamaha instead of Mackie or Berhinger for better chances of support in India.PS: Professional mixing and recording is quite different consideration. Above holds good for small to medium home or amateur setup.

This mixer is great peace of art made by yamaha ,this can give you joy of karaoke ,home studio quality recording,live performances thanks to spx 24 digital effects ,while recording you get crystal clear noice free 24 bit 192 khz quality recorded file ,i also like this mg10xu very much because its a very very simple mixer to operate ,but read user manual very care fully before use it first time if you are a beginner.Last but not least , for recording always u need to amplify output file through various daw like audacity ,traction,cubase ,ects because it will give u very low volume sound recording which we have to amplify by the help of daw (digital audio workstation ) .Pros:-1- best recording quality 24 bit 192 khz2- very easy to use.3- great mic pre apms ,0 noice i feel .4- compact not need much space but yet feature full.5- adopter is with 2 pin ac plug this will reduce issue of ground loop6- made in Malaysia {not Chinese}And many more pros are there7- great 24 spx effects covers each and every effects one need in live performancesCons-1. It is suitable for small bands only not for big ones2. It gives low volume output while recording in pc via usb but it can be amplify by daw (digital audio workstation ) very easily .This is it this is a great mixer with great spx 24 effects

This product is well build with metal body but get heated after 30 minutes of use. Sound quality is good but vocal records low noise in my i7 pc thru usb cable( printer cable). Cubase daw is not user friendly like audacity. Does not requires additional audio interface. Effects, fx are good. Mic preamps requires more amplification. Easy for beginners. Good value for money.

Excellent mixer... As a singer I fully satisfied with the output and features... Great.. But little bit costly

Excellent product. Have to understand the setting first but once setting is done works wonderful. Sound quality is superb

Original items. In local market some one selling second copy. This is original and good quality

While this was a bit costlier for me, I am very happy with the purchase. This has excellent sound quality, no observable latency, accepts many different inputs, has good effects.Two minor cons I have seen (I would still buy the product in spite of these):1. It gets a bit hotter than what I would like.2. With USB, the output is a single stereo channel (for recording say using Audacity). Ideal for me would have been to record as a stereo music channel and mono vocals. However, I am able to pan all music into the left stereo channel and vocals into the right stereo channel, thus recording them both separately as two mono channels. It is then easy to separate the recorded stereo channel into two mono channels using Audacity (and most likely other software).

I've been using it for 3 months, its perfect and efficient. build quality is awesome.only thing i want improvement is the DAW, Steinberg offers a good quality product but bit complex to understand.

Il top!Acquistalo ad occhi chiusi.Il fornitore Sublime!

This Yamaha mixer is a perfect example of a “buy once, cry once” product. I had tried a cheaper budget mixer first with very little success, and replacing it with the MG10XU made a huge difference.It is not cheap, but the sound quality and extremely low noise level are amazing. The effects work great, and the dedicated 24-bit USB connection sounds excellent with my iPad feeding music into the mixer. Everything sounds cleaner, fuller, and more professional.The mixer also feels very solid and well-built. It has some weight to it, the controls feel good, and the entire unit gives the impression that it was built to last. It runs quietly and does exactly what I need it to do.My only small complaint is that I wish the USB input had a midrange adjustment knob like some of the other channels. I understand why Yamaha designed it this way, but having that extra adjustment would make an already excellent mixer even better.I have been so impressed with the MG10XU that I decided to stay with Yamaha for the rest of my sound system and purchased their subwoofer and powered speakers as well. I cannot say enough good things about the quality and performance of this mixer.

delivered with US power adapter plug, disappointing

This thing is Industry standard ready and good as it gets far as im concerned. Mixes perfect with any proper gear I've thrown at it and records on cubase perfectly which is just as great of a program and all you really need for a DAW, and it comes with that too if you dont have it already. You really should. Make the right choice. It's also completly gig proof, delivery driver proof, and idiot proof, so it survives my daily use. So is Cusbase. Oh and it gets hot, because it's suppsed to, not burning hot indoors at 25c, but it's working good as it's overdriven preamps design were intended. It's yamaha, it works fine. It don't break. M audio, behringer, things like that, broken, don't even have industry standard sound processors or hardware, just fine china. When you do sort through all the company propaganda and ads, youll find their top tier actual industry standart gear is like the same price or even more than, actual industry standard gear. Get an Art tube basic tube amp, some Shure sm57 or 58 if you have too, and some instruments, pedals, proper gain and preamps, soundsystem style, outboard gear. Analog. Mix and master in Cuebase intuitively, actually finish a project, and tools to polish it up if needed. The original one I sold after 10 years use was still in perfect condition. This model I prefer and would recommend. The Cubase v4 that came with it is still running my projects and samples etc on an old IBM and integrates with all the new stuff as well. Keep it up Yamaha. The best. I got on a ton of other sequencers DAW and what not and found the workflow completely inferior, counterproductive to put it nicely. Stop fiddling around with crap and get your music done right fellas. Enjoy. Free and goot VST's VST3 now I suppose and all sorts of good helpers on cuebase if you find the right bunch.

THANK YOU SELLER FOR SUCH EXCELLENT & ORIGINAL PRODUCT LIKE THIS!! This is my first ever Mixing Console! This product is easy to use but need also some knowledge how to use it. While waiting this product I've watched so many reviews and tutorials in Youtube. Over all i love this Yamaha MG10XU👌👏
