These videos are honestly the best I've found on YouTube. Thanks man!

[eli-shulga]

Just wanted to mention, that the amount of value I get from your channel is insane - Thank you (gonna get my MG10XU soon :))

[ryloken]

Definitely a very thorough tutorial, however I have a MG12XU and I cant seem to get a good waveform (nowhere close to yours) when recording on GarageBand, I am not sure what to do at this point

[Nukki]

This is by far the cleanest and straight-up of all the tutorials I have seen here.

One question though? What if I'll be using it on my phone? for video conference, skype or zoom? same setup?

Thank you!

[peteevans]

Love your videos! SO clear and concise. With this setup, you could use an ipad instead of a phone and create a soundboard on it to add in sound effects and music.

[georgecsics-zycq]

Bro, your vids are next level! Clear, on point easy to digest even for a newbie like me. All my respect man! Subscribed of course.

Hey Jordan. Have just watched a few of your videos now and just to say, great informative work man. Thank you.

[johnlazzmusic]

Thank you for this video, Jordan!

I do own the YamahaMG10XUF mixer, and I'd like to ask a couple of questions, just in case you could help:

1) Would the same setup (meaning the cables & adapters) need to be used for getting & recording sound right from the mixer, while recording a video with your phone? Meaning that, the phone would be used just as a camera basically, and the mixer as an audio source, which could automatically sync with the video.

2) Is there a mobile application (or any other digital workaround with this model) which would allow you to change your mixer settings, during a sound check, before a live performance?

Thank you very much in advance!

I bought everything listed in this video and set it up exactly how you have it…step by step but I keep getting a constant pop noise whenever I speak into the mic.

I used the voice memo app on my iPhone but the playback sounds terrible. A lot of static and when I hear my voice it is extremely distorted. I know I did everything right…

The audio coming from the iPhone sounds great but the mic sounds terrible. Can you help?

[JD-kfnz]

One Jordan to another, I love your stuff. Watched a few of your videos over the last few days. Just subbed. Keep up the good work dude.

[rexfelker]

Superb job on all of your videos! They are truly excellent ... 👍👍👍

[laverne]

Hi I look for the names of the jacks I don't see can you please send it to me Thank you love your video also I have DBX microphone preamp 286s and a 6i6 interface do you have a video on this Thank again

[brandoncharleswhite]

Could you use a 3.5 trrs to dual 3.5 female mic/headset adapter then a balanced 1/4 from fx send to the mic 3.5 instead of the xlr adapter

[chrisclements]

awesome. along with the Yamaha mg10xu, I have an iMac and an iPhone 11. what is the best set up for video podcasting with the tools that I have? thank you.

[steveman]

How do the 2 guests in studio both monitor audio?

[georgecsics-zycq]

Would you still recommend this mixer if my goal is podcasting and also recording music with multiple mices at the same time. Or any better alternatives for that? TIA!

[Erick_Valerin]

Loving these videos. Super detailed and well explained. SUBSCRIBED.

[dankpizzle]

I’m getting a feedback when I’m doing the USB connection…. Can you explain why that is? When I stop the audio playing I’m getting this feedback where I would have to turn down either my hi’s or the volume

Greatly appreciated

[gamtoy]

Great videos. I've learned a lot. I tried the mix minus setup (phone guest), and the caller said I sound as if I was talking through a radio; I did not sound crisp over the phone. However, I recorded the conversation through Garageband, and everything (included my voice) sounded very clear and crisp. So, the guest caller was the one who didn't hear great quality sound through the phone. Any tips on how to provide the guest caller a better listening experience? Could it be cheap XLR audio cables?

I just bought my Yamaha mixer how do I reset my headphones up in this mixer?
