I must point out that listening to you is really fun. You have a very pleasant and unique way to deliver! Keep it up!

This is THE BEST video on this subject on KZfaq.

Bruno your simply a Legend!!! Thank you so much for this. I have the MG12XU. I have watched many tutorials online & learned very little. I have learned everything I need to know here in 20 minutes. I said it before and I will say it again, "You were born to teach!"

I came here for a board review and learned how to set gain, use the pad switch and what PFL is for, you are the VP sir, thanks.

BRILLIANT tutorial. One of the best tutors here on You Tube!

You have a real ability to be clear, straight to the point. Thank you so much

That was excellent. Thank you Mr Luse. The clean up technique for the mids is new to me and I'll give it a shot in future!

Just purchased this board and this series is hugely helpful! Big thanks!

Just bought an MG12XUK. Am learning MORE than weeks of youtube searches. Thank you, sir! You're a lifesaver!

Your teachings are the best one can find on youtube. Simple and clear . I view your tutorials again and again without being tired. Thank you so mush.

Thank you so so much for your tutorials, I’ve learned lots. This was just what I was looking for. My God bless you always

🥰🥰🥰love the way they conduct the lectures its more clear and easy to understand

great to be back :) / cant wait to see part 2 its really benefit me thanks

Thank you so much for taking your time to explain how this mixer works properly... best tutorial I've seen 👌

Very Nice.......Even your so called "Old" videos are great, including this one. I've watched them all and learned a great deal. You should have way more eyeballs on your work....... :)

I've been out of the mixing/recording world for a long time and I am just buying gear to get back into it in a small way. I've yet to make up my mind which one to buy but I am already convinced that I ought to buy one of the Yamaha MG series. It is great to see them so comprehensively described. Most of the tricks in your series were once familiar to me but much of the detail was forgotten, so thank you for these videos. I watched all of the ones covering the MG mixers and got loads of reminders and even learned some new tricks.

Great video Sir! Can't wait for the next part

Wow. U really explain well. I learned more in 1 minute than some others !

This three part series is remarkable and I would recommend anyone doing sound watch it, no matter what level of experience. We use many of these exact techniques in our setup. Thank you for posting this!

Teaching clarity as usual. Thanks for your tutorials😊

Thank you Bruno,It’s a very well detailed explanation. Very knowledgeable.

Thank you so very much! You are a fantastic teacher. Love your videos.

Great great video. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your work in general.

just picked up the MX16XU. I'm pretty well versed in using mixing boards for live band settings and studio settings, I mainly came here to learn the specifics about the yamaha MX series. Thank you to this wonderful presenter for explaining the mixing process simply and clearly, fantastic video!!!

Abang, great material! I can't believe I just stumbled over this!

Wonderful explanation, easy to understand.

Great info............ for me anyway. I have the Allen Heath Zed Sixty 14FX that we discussed a couple of years ago and you recommended. It fits my application. So far, so good and still learning. Your continued information is appreciated on how to operate mixers. JimE

Wow! Dear sir! Excellent explanation!

thank you bruno, you are the one of best sound teacher, very clear and very slow , not like other teachers and youtube tuts they are too fast and they blabber more than to teach... thank you ..I been mixing wrong my whole life, you cleared it up for me.

Thanks a lot GBL Productions.

Brilliant video. Thank you so much for clearly explaining and adding in some good techniques.

This is a fun tutorials, love it.

Another great, and informative tutorial. God bless you my brother. Thx again.

Thank you lots, i will be waiting for another video

This has explained a lot not just for using the mixer, but the real truth of audio feedback. Lol, there's no headache like testing your sound, then during a wedding, all of a sudden a new feedback frequency rises up depending on a person's voice pitch. Thank you for this.

thanks for the tutorial ... i have Mgxu10 last 2yrs ........ but today more than than what i learn last 2 yrs ......

The first time i used mixer, i was somehow good but not perfect because there were things which was Disturbing me while i was using. But after Learning your Lesson here, am now perfect and good to use it. Thank you so much and Be Blessed

Excellent class!

Very useful tutorial, thank you!

thank you I'm trying to mic my drum in home studio and this was helpful

How beautiful is that Dynamic mic sound on that board !

Thank you for the video, very helpful. 🙏

You are simply the BEST

Thanks GLB!!

Great explanation, thank you so much. 😊

Sir, thanks for your nice tutorial. It's very helpful for me 👌💚

great explanation very clear

Great video, sir! I've watched all of your tutorials, and have found them all to be extremely well done and informative. Great detail that's easily understood by guys (like me) who are still learning how to use this equipment. I own several Yamaha MG series mixers, and I really like them. However, the one thing I absolutely HATE about my MG20XU is the channel strips that offset to the right at the top. That has caused so much confusion, since I don't use it frequently. I understand that they did this in order to squeeze 20 channels into the same size chassis as the MG16 mixer, but it's still annoying! Keep up the good work!!

Thank you Bruno! 🙋👍

Very cool teaching am leanings very well.

Great vid.

Brilliant !

Your class is very nice

Very good instructor 👍👍

Amazing tutoring

Very good explanation..I can understand.

This is so good!!!! Subscribing!

Thank you for the info!

Very impresive

Me,I'm just a thirteen year old boy who aspires to be a studio engineer and I love this video you do a very good job of explaining mixing

You are epic guy keep up the good work

Excellent thanks.🇬🇧

Nice. I have the little brother: the MG10XU, great little mixer.

Super video

Good teacher

Just a great video. The Yamaha user manual tells you how to do something but unfortunately does not explain why you should want to do it. I can now see a picture emerging out of the fog! Many thanks for your simplistic and informative approach.

Thanks!

thanks man

Nice

It was a very informative video Sir Thank a lot for uploading it waiting for the 2nd part plz help me with the connection to get Stereo effect in mixer

Love the hat.

Thanks

good

Like always! Another great video! I really want suggestions on how to equalize a digital piano/keyboard to where it sounds natural but cuts through the mix without being to twangy or muddy

I own the 16 channel version of this mixer and have been getting very good sound out of it already for my band live but still like watching videos to learn better strategies. I also just watched another video on the same series of Yamaha mixers where like yourself the controls were explained very well but the 2 of you differ greatly in setting the gain. The other man put the channels slider to unity then achieved his final level with the gain knob , you have the slider off then set the gain with a large amount of gain , anytime I have tried to add that much gain it has run into feedback issues , I tend to keep those gain knobs below or maybe in the grayed out section around 20% of the available sweep on the gain knob so any input on those 2 different strategies so myself and anyone reading these comments can have a sound reasoning behind setting a channels fader and gain would be helpful.

we've just bought mg20xumixee and dont have ideas how to operate.learning more

Good

Please I want lectures on MGP16X thanks... U doing a good job

For the first 14 minutes I thought he was explaining it to me lol 😂

6:50 combos are good because you can "dodge" the phantom power on a port by using a TRS instead of XLR on boards where one button turns on phantom for either ALL inputs or NONE. Sending phantom power to equipment that is not designed to receive it can destroy that equipment in some cases.

Your video is very useful sir 🙏 please explain phantom power supply details...

Plz continue with the aux send and effect tutorial of the same mixer

Thank you for this helpful video! Generally would you set the boost-cut-sweep technique for midrange first before tweaking the highs and lows if necessary?

Hey Bruno, I want to thank you so much. You are such a Legend you explain everything so simple and clear. I have a question. I have been following different youtube videos regarding to digital recording. In digital recording, other videos says we should keep the meters around -18dB because analog interface of digital systems expect a signal around that level. At 12:32 you are talking about to keep the meter around 0dB. Now I am a little bit confused. I know the signal is not cut because it is not so hot but do you think we should keep the gain around -18dB or 0dB for best practice during recording?

Bruno I hope that you have a video of a digital mixing console like yamaha 01V. It’s ok if you have one. Thank you again Bruno.

Thank You for the best tutorial, please do let me know how to add fx effects into monitors? Thanks in advance

Hi there, great review of this mixer. I'm looking to get a 16 channel mixer and I was debating between a Mackie or a Yamaha. What would be a good choice?

This is a fabulous analog mixer lesson! perfect progression and all the details just at the right time! Too bad I didn't need an analog mixer lesson since the 80's... Do you think you could do a lesson of this quality for all that routing on an SQ-5?? I have it for 2 Years now and I still have problems with routing and switching banks is also jarring... I'd just buy that Yamaha mixer you talked about, but I got the SQ5 because I wanted to have individual high end FX per channel. If I could somehow turn off the routing and invisible channels, I would! I ...16 channels suffice for me - the invisible 24 channels and their routing just cause me trouble...

I'm learning. I bought this product, but I've not started using it

So comprehensive

Your videos have been absolutely invaluable in understanding my new MG12XU. Thank you so much. You have a great voice and cadence for explaining complex topics. Just curious, what country/region is your accent from? I can't quite pick it.

The way u explained even an illiterate will understand...thank u

Great video. But What is the Chevron marking on the input gain knob for?

Dear Bruno, thanks for your KZfaq explanation about the Yamaha MG20UX. I understand that I cannot use internal effects for Aux. Can you give me a diagram of how I can connect an extra delay/echo module to get an effect in my aux monitor? Yours sincerely,

Great job on this series... can you let me know if there is a way to route effects to monitors on MG20XU... there seems to be separate controls to do this on the 16 channel version? Thanks for your help

i got MGXU 16 sir...thanks. I wanna know like how this cubase (steinberg) works..thank you

im still new to this and I'm trying to get sound. I might be misunderstanding something about mixers. does the mixer itself create sound? I've only been able to get sound by plugging in another line to the input on my guitar amp to the phones plug on the mixer. No fx. And I had to raise the phones knob above the master stereo which has no effect when i dial it up or down.

I want to know how to connecting monitor and stereo speakers etc

Shall i use both Master Stetero out xlr L-R and 1/4 " TRS L-R Bal OUT Similtenously.
