Great sound and features.
Style: USB Interface and Effects Size: 12-Input
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. ... show more

A Yamaha is always a Yamaha
Style: USB Interface and Effects Size: 12-Input
This mixer is the 5th Yamaha product I've purchased over about 40 years. All are still working! That's the point. Reliability is paramount in all Yamaha sound equipment. Even more important is sound quality. This mixer follows that by demonstrating that it is sonically appealing with very little tweaking. This proves it can handle a wide range of inputs with ease. Mixing live instruments with digital inputs doesn't cause dark, muddy lows or brittle sounding highs. Vocals will come to the front as expected with the rest of the ensemble separated and authentic as envisioned by the operator. This is a lovely instrument. Compact yet powerful. A good investment. ... show more

Used unit Looks new!
Style: USB Interface and Effects Size: 12-Input
I purchased a used unit on Amazon, saved $100 bucks. The unit looks and operates like new. The box is what looked very used. Looks like the unit went around the world, the box was intact, but very worn. I'm not complaining just explaining what I received. Looks like a new unit went into the worn box. I'm very satisfied. The mixer is great, I'm replacing a smaller one with this one. I download backing tracks and record my own guitars and bass also use a DAW. This mixer is great for that. ... show more

Analog Mixing is pretty good, but the USB driver is something to desired....
Style: USB Interface and Effects Size: 12-Input
Either had weird distortions every 20ish seconds coming from the computer to the mixer and weird static going to the computer or audio cutting in and out from the computer to the mixer and still static going to the computer. This happened between using the default drivers that auto installed then to the 2.04 driver then to the 2.03 driver. After installing the 2.03 driver everything works perfectly, it was just a little annoying. TL;DR: Usb driver is kind of finicky especially the default, but everything else is pretty great. ... show more

This is the one you are looking for
Style: USB Interface and Effects Size: 12-Input
The good: Sound quality is superior. The build quality is superior. Decent price compared to other solid mixers. I could not believe the difference between this one and the cheaper one i replaced with this. The bad: I wish the outputs were on the back instead of on the top. It doesnt come with rack ears. The price: Is it more expensive than some of the cheaper models? NO. When you consider the cost of the cheaper one, with the cost of the swear jar, this one ends up being far less expensive. Don't waste time on junk. Save yourself the headache and just get a quality mixer to begin with. ... show more

Versatile and Easy to Use
Style: USB Interface and Effects Size: 12-Input
I've only had this for a few weeks, and I have not used all its capability yet, but what I have tried works very well. I have used the multiple bus capability (Stereo and Aux, but not Group yet). The diagrams in the user manual clearly describe the signal routing and how one can use the inputs for various functions using the multiple outputs. I have three radios (audio outputs), two microphones, a computer (USB), and two keyboards as inputs, and I route outputs to powered speakers, sub-woofer, headphones, computer (USB) and microphone inputs to the radios. The case is substantial, the controls work smoothly, and the feature set is impressive for a mixer in this class. I chose this over Mackie and Behringer products because the feature set matched my needs and because I liked the quality "feel" of the Yamaha mixer. I did have to add isolation transformers for the signals back to the radios' microphone inputs to eliminate a ground loop 60Hz hum (not the mixer's fault). The Radio Shack Ground-Loop Isolator (~$15) is a dual-transformer device that works well for this type of two-way interface to a device. ... show more
