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.

This operates on USB and does not have any recording capability built-in. This is used to record multiple sources at one time and make that into one Stereo/Mono audio output that can be used with a recording software, streaming software, or even a live speaker system. You can record the main output via computer, but even then, this will all be one audio stream, not one for each separate channel. **Q: Is this mixer capable of "mix minus" configuration? If so how is it done? I cant seem to get it to produce any audio from the "fx send" port** A: been trying to determine this for my own setup. thus far it seems No as the AUX is post fader. im trying to isolate the mic on the FX send and have it removed from the main mix.. nothing seems to allow this to happen. i can get the FX send to work but if the usb and the FX send are connected to the same source, both signals carry the mic audio... **Q: Can I add echo and reverb at to the mic?** A: This mixer will only do one effect per channel if your are only using the internal DSP. I believe you can input reverb or chorus, etc into a channel along with a guitar signal if your using a guitar processor like a Line 6 brand. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound and features. *by B***S on February 13, 2024* This is a high quality, great sounding mixer that's easy to set up and use.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha MG12XU 12-Input 4-Bus Mixer with Effects - CASEMATIX Mixer Carry Case Compatible with Yamaha MG12XU 12 Channel Mixing Console and More - IPX7 Waterproof Hard Shell Sound Board Carrier with Foam Fits Mixers up to 17" x 12.1" x 5" and Cables - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Cables - 6ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/2017832-yamaha-mg12xu-12-input-4-bus-mixer-with-effects](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/2017832-yamaha-mg12xu-12-input-4-bus-mixer-with-effects) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
