we originally had a used behringer, but quickly found it lacking in quality even for the price. we replaced it with this yamaha mixer and it was the best thing we could have done. my drums sound incredible and our guitars sound even better. for the price, we could not have asked for a better board.

Having owned several MG series mixers both larger and smaller than this one, I had no hesitation at all to lay my money down. These are reliable, good sounding mixers that give you as many or more features and routing/mixing options than about any similar mixer out there. They are a breeze to set up and can handle a wide variety of sources and situations with ease. Best of all, they just sound good. Yamaha's mic pre's are of good quality, the EQ is very useable in a musical sense and the FX are surprisingly good. The really surprising feature of some of these newest MG mixers are the inclusion of channel compressors. They actually work and are all but idiot-proof, not to mention that I would think other manufacturers will be following suit soon. It's just too good of a tool to have on a mixer. Our system consist of this and two QSC powered cabs and sounds excellent. I have a new dbx Driverack PX on the way and expect it to sound even better still. Together, they make an easy to setup, compact, powerful great-sounding and relatively affordable system that will cover most small to medium venues and even outdoor gigs. It seems to me that's pretty much exactly what the average band is looking for.

Great board BUT USB input/output is very limited

Over all , this is a great board. I bought it with the idea of using it to record to computer (USB) AND if I needed a live board.

The board is loaded with features and well laid out. I love the board ! CUBASE AI4 was included and did not install correctly on my system. After fighting with it, it would not generate the required "soft code" for registration. After contacting support, they emailed me a link for a new code generator. The link was bad and I had to find the file myself. Once found, everything installed correctly and I was up and running.

Then I realized that you can only record a maximum of 2 channels at a time into CUBASE because the USB IS STEREO ONLY, no way to assign multiple tracks because the USB has only 2 outputs, left and right.

So without a new multi-channel sound card (plug all your board's in/outs into it), you really have a great multi-channel mixer board that you can only record 1 channel at a time (2 if you pan each hard right and hard left) and it becomes useless as a mixer. (again, the multi tracks recorded into CUBASE can not be assigned to multi-channels on the mixer. BUMMER. Now I have to buy a multi-channel sound card, more cables and run everything to the mixer in order to effectively use it. JUST BEWARE and know what you're buying.

So unless I'm missing something, you got your work cut out for you to make all this a true multi-channel recorder/mixer. By pass the USB and go to a card like M-AUDIO Delta 1010.
