Your videos are so well done. I appreciate your excellent teaching style, which seems to cater to newer users like me. Subbed👍🏼

Thanks for this video. I just got the Rockville ROCKMIX 10FX 10 Chan Mixer. The BT is a nice feature on there. But can it even compete with the Mackie ProFX10v3. Let me know what you think. I plan to return it sooner than later. I like how you explain things on this video. Thanks

[PeteDavies]

I've spent the last 4 weeks thinking that I was going to buy the Yamaha MG10XUF, then tonight I found your videos on this beast, and now I've changed my mind completely.
This is now the mixer I'm wanting, so thanks for helping with my dilemma.
Superb videos by the way.

[shameer]

You explained this so much clearer than every other review I’ve seen on this mixer.

[djgermain]

Brother, best explanation of this mixer on the entire web. Mackie should thank you... I thank you!

[petercampion]

I have this Mackie Profx10v3 but im having a problem sending out my track audio into my streaming device. The viewers on my stream can hear my microphone but they cant hear the music which is coming from my PC/tablet and sent to the mixer. I would really appreciate if you will be able to help me figure out. Thank a lot

[lisafalls]

Excellent video! I appreciate how thorough and knowledgeable you are about the product. Just purchased the FX10 and I can assure you as a new user trying to navigate the setup this video was perfection! I just subscribed and will definitely be checking out more videos. Thank you.

[jasonstallworth]

Dude, thank you for this video. I’ve been using this board for our live acoustic gigs but haven’t really dig into the features.

[DJQuickPheet]

Quick question, does USB 1-2 only come out Headphone and control room or can it come out of main out too?

[DJGeorgeDXM]

I bought the ProFX10 v3, and I'm not able to get that crystal sound on my OBS, I wish my livestreams sounds like your example from the 13:20 mark. I added filters to the audio capture in OBS but still something is missing. I may have changed something on my laptop or OBS and I didn't noticed.

[garymask]

have you managed to compare the Allen & heath zedi-10fx with the Mackie?

[JohnSmith-dgvp]

Hi Jordan, I have just bought this mixer, thinking I could get away with the un balanced cables from my computer to the desk, I run virtual DJ and would like the sound to come from the computer through the mixer, but I have watched a few of your vids and it maybe me but it looks like you only use the computer to record, would I be right, if not could you help me with this or do I have to get an AI BOX. Hope you can help. keep up the good work. John from london.

Hi there ! I’ve been using this mixer for quite some time for digital audio recordings n for streaming etc but I haven’t used the mixer for live events nor any public events or house events or function since I didn’t have a powered speaker… so as i was going through the mackie website for buying a powered speaker i came across through the mackie thump go speaker basically a battery powered speaker so i needed guidance in buying the speaker before I actually purchase the speaker so…regarding that I had an question regarding the thump go speaker…since its a battery powered speaker can we connect the mackie profx10v3 to the mackie thump go speaker is it applicable to use the speaker by connecting the mixer to the speaker will it work or no…also another question since the mackie profx10v3 doesn’t come with an inbuilt amplifier so we should be using a powered speaker which has an inbuilt amplifier…so is the profx10v3 fit to use the thump go speaker…please do let me know cuz ill be purchasing a mackie powered speaker so i want to clarify the doubt before buying the speaker…also is 200w powered speaker enough to use the mackie profx10v3 mixer because the thump go speaker is 200w

I don't believe you covered the USB port in the back of the unit. I have a home recording studio with an Allen & Heath ZED 60 mixer, for my Studio One Pro DAW. I bought this unit today to use for my Live Solo Gigs, along with one EVE Powered Speaker. But I would like to hook it up to my I-Pad or small Laptop, if I want to play some music before I start my gig. Down the road, I might also like to create backing tracks of my original released songs, with the Show Page in Studio One, and would like to hook up my Laptop for that. OR if I want to use the Laptop for song sheets. Thank you, a VERY good video. got a good deal on this unit from the local Sam Ash Music store, cause the store is closing at the end of June or so. Got 50% off my EV powered speaker.

Every channel in my Mackie ProFX12 V2 went out one by one! I used electronic music gear such as synthesizers and samplers. They don’t require a di so what happened? The mixer is in almost new condition! My guess is you get what you pay for.

[frankybla]

Great video, thanks. I've a ProFx12 but i assume you didn't explain the difference between the two jack's that are on input 3 and input 4 (LINE IN 3 & LINE IN 4). Is it possible to explain the difference between these tow jacks? Thanks.

[mikejoseph]

I guess my main disconnect is what is the difference between USB 1/2 and USB 3/4 and how can I leverage the two? I have the mixer hooked up to my iMac and anything I play with only seems to impact the USB 1/2 channel. Toggling the Line in 9/10 and USB 3/4 button doesn't seem to have any impact for me. What conceptually am I missing? Thank you!

[devianttimes]

I bought the Mackie ProDX10v3 for my 2 pc Twitch Live stream setup (mostly to get away from voicemeeter) I know its probably a big ask but if you could do and in depth "how to setup 2 pc's with Mackie" I know myself and I'm sure a good bit of other ppl might find it very helpful. how to route the 2 pc's for alerts, game, music, discord and such. Either way, I love your videos and find them super useful. Liked and subbed! Cheers!
