Excellent MIxer!
Picked this up at the Westlake Guitar Center store in Seattle, and took it home. It replaced another large format rack mixer that broke that morning. So the same day I went in and took it home. All I have to say is wow! Great sound quality, the compression is very good for solid state / digital and I have been using it every day for THREE YEARS of daily use! It's very easy to switch on/off thru my rack, the bottom is thin so it can be mounted right above another large rack mixer w/ all the room for it's cables. The USB recording quality is decent but the analog outs are really where this unit shines.

Broke my heart
This product hands down had the very best sound i have ever heard from a mixer, it had raw power and sounded beautiful, the eq controls are very powerful and let you reeeeeally get in depth with each band, the only thing that really threw me off and the reason i had to return this mixer is because i wanted to use it for tracking out, and unfortunately i was fooled by the advertised "usb" feature on it because i expected a product that cost over 500 bucks with 8 mono channels on it and usb compatability to be able to track out each one separate but i got a very big surprise when i tried to do so and found out you can only track out through either the 2 group, or master tracks. I currently have a multi track recorder but it does not have an analog eq the way the yamaha did but It was definitely due to my lack of experience using usb mixers and lack of research before buying the product. Overall it had an extremely beautiful sound and probably would work great for someone just tracking out a vocal and a guitar or for live performances, but if you have something like an mpc and want to use an analog eq on each track while you track out each track simultaneously through your 8 outs unfortunately this is not the product for you. Really lazy on yamahas behalf to add the usb instead of allowing multi track recording imo, which is the reason for my rating. This product could have easily been a 5 and could have been the ideal mixer if it did allow each track to be tracked out separately, if anyone does know of a mixer with an analog eq which i could achieve that with that doesn't cost $1000+ please let me know, thanks!

Your employee in Brownsville, Mario, helped me with this and guided me to the perfect system for our needs. All we have to do now is add the sub and we will be light years ahead of where we were.
I would by this product again.

How many different monitor mixes can you get out of this board? I need at least four different mixes. Six would be ideal.
AUX 1 is always pre-fader, as is AUX3, and AUX2 is switchable between pre-fader and post-fader, so you could have three monitor mixes independent of the main mix.submitted5 years ago

where are the input jacks to directly connect the guitar and bass guitar
The inputs at the top are hybrid XLR/1/4 phone inputs. You can plug the guitar into one of the top inputs.
