Would be awesome to see an explanation of this with the Tascam model 12 mixer.. They use PFL/AFL and SOLO in kind of a funky way -- they incorporate it into AUX 1 & 2 and the FX and it makes my head spin to be honest.... I would pay money for that breakdown Thanks for great videos!!!!

Great content, love your videos. I'm a real novice with all this stuff, and I'm thinking of buying this particular mixer. I want it to go through my Focusrite 6i6 into my macbook pro, so that I can sing live on social media with some nice reverb. I'd love it if you could maybe do a video to explain the best way to put all that together please.

Excellent Tutorial, very clear, straight forward, and easy to understand!.Thank you very much. I do have one question, though: I have a Yamaha MG12XU, when I want to send a Signal to Aux2, I have to use the the white knob which also is used for sending the effect signal. Whenever I send a signal to AUX2, it automatically increases the effect signal to stereo out at the same time. Is there a way to seperate these two functions in order to just send a signal to AUX2 without increasing the effect? I tried to google about this, but didn't find anything about it. ..

Great video and thank you for all your other videos! So this mixer doesn't allow you to listen AFL to selected channels right? I was comparing this with the A&H ZED60-10Fx that have a "Listen button" (I believe is AFL) and a knob for the general PFL / AFL blend.

As a dj I always thought of it as "pre-fader listen", sort of like cue, although "pre fader level" makes more sense lol. Anyways this is a dope video, keep it up bro.

@turkmusik Ай бұрын

Thanks for this! I'm running this unit into an AER 60. The sound is incredibly loud with just a little bit of volume. I'm not complaining. But how do you set it up for better output sound given that you can adjust volume on the AER, the gain, the faders, and the stereo mix?

Hi Jordan. Been watching your channel for a year now, since I bought a Yamaha mg10uxf and a Yamaha Ag06. I want to buy a loop station for a long time and the one that I’m considering is the boss rc-500 because I play the guitar and sing live. But today one problem arose: how am I going to set up the pedal to the mixing desk? Watched a video featuring the mg12-ux that has the group 1-2 channel (most likely a send and return feature but with a different name) but the mg10-ux just has a fx-return jack connection. The goal would be to loop both instruments after the sound processor. Any ideas? Thank you for awesome videos man.

I experienced trouble when setting the gain in the mixer without the PFL button and only two main LED meter indicator lights were available, namely 'Signal' and 'Peak' only. Whereas in the channel strip there is only a 'peak' lamp, which is related to the knob gain on the channel itself. Are there good instructions sir?

@paulhatwellmusic8571 2 ай бұрын

Would I turn the pfl button off before I bring the fader up to unity? Also, I have my foldback plugged into my phones jack on the Yamaha mixer (solo musician). If I use my pfl to set the channels will I not be able to change the mix in my foldback during my show?

On this exact board does it switch to “AFL” from “PFL” if the button is not selected and popped out? That’s where I’m confused

@mshl114 Ай бұрын

Should the pfl button be always on? I've talked with my engineer but he's stubborn that all the tracks' pfl should be on.

Make sure you are using speaker cable and not instrument/patch cable also volume on your speakers itself might be set too high. Start with 11 o'clock. Hope this helps
