Product Description
Single USB Connection, Instant Studio!
With Yamaha’s new MW12CX USB Mixing Studio mixer, making great music is easier than ever before. Combined with the powerful Cubase AI audio/MIDI sequencing software, the new MW series provides a comprehensive tabletop studio setup for the solo recording musician and for the traveling producer/arranger.
Connect the new MW to a USB terminal on your laptop or desktop computer, and you’ve got an instant, high-quality audio recording studio at your command. The faders also act as midi faders to control the faders on your DAW. The MW delivers true plug-and-play USB audio input/output interfacing - without the need for special software drivers - and lets you easily record mono inputs or two- track stereo mixes of multiple sources to your computer.
Easy-Access Panel And High-Quality Parts
Compression—the taming of wildly varying levels in vocals, bass and guitar - is one of the most important effects used in recording and mixing. It is also one of the most subtle and difficult to use. Not with the new MW series mixers, however. The innovative 1-knob analog compressor (on the mono input channels) lets you dial in just the amount of compression you need in recording, without having to set multiple parameters like threshold, ratio and makeup gain. One knob does it all for you - instantly giving you great, punchy sound.
Built-In Spx Effects
For those who like the convenience of having signal processing right inside the mixer, the MW12CX incorporates a versatile digital multi-effect unit that provides a variety of reverb, delay, modulation, and distortion programs you can use to enhance your sound, or completely transform it - without the need for an external device. Each of the 16 effect programs has a number of editable parameters as well as effect on/off switching capability and return level control. If you need to keep both hands free to play an instrument or perform other operations, an optional footswitch can be connected to the mixer’s effect footswitch jack for convenient on/off switching.
