Yamaha N 12

The Yamaha N12 Digital Mixing Studio is a digital mixing console with an analog face. By connecting to a computer via the built-in IEEE1394 (FireWire), it is a perfect recording tool with seamless integration into Cubase 4

The console has 12 input channels, which are mixed into a stereo mix and the 16 in / out FireWire connection for direct recording with a DAW. Each monaural input jack features a jack with a phantom-powered XLR connector and a newly developed compressor with Sweet Spot Morphing technology. A Hi-Z input for direct connection of an electric guitar or an electric bass possible. All input channels feature a 3-band EQ and can be refined by the built-in reverb.

For monitoring purposes, three monitor speakers are joined, you can monitor the outputs are also used to listen to 5.1 surround mixing, Cubase or other DAW.

With Cubase AI 4 a special version of the mixer in Cubase 4, so that you can plug in and record.

Since the user interface of the Yamaha N12 is designed very similar, you can realize your sonic imagery into reality analog. The mixer can mix up to 16 input channels in a stereo mix. Each mono channel has a TRS and an XLR connector (with phantom power) is so equipped, and a variety of instruments over connection, from condenser microphones to synthesizers and other devices with line level. At the entrance channel 8 can directly connect an electric guitar or an electric bass can also be connected to Hi-Z input.

A single cable is needed. Simply connect the IEEE 1394 port on your computer and the Yamaha N12 contains an IEEE 1394 cable - using a single cable will be both audio and MIDI signals between the Yamaha N12 and the DAW software on your computer exchanged.

If you have Cubase 4 (Cubase 4, Cubase Studio 4 or Cubase AI 4) installed on your computer, then the Yamaha N12 binds seamlessly with Cubase. You can, for example, the inputs of the Yamaha N12 as they are recorded in Cubase or mix Cubase audio tracks on the Yamaha N12. You can use the remote control Cubase Yamaha N12 also listen to the VST effects or traces Arm for recording.

Based on the proven pre-amplifier Yamaha's engineers have developed a new pre-amplifier circuit having an even higher sound quality and superior musical characteristics. With the pad switch can be set for each channel, the control range. When turned on, the input signal is attenuated by 26 dB. Use the high pass filter to eliminate frequencies below 80 Hz. With the Phase switch you can invert the phase of the channel.

The Input Select switch determines whether the analog input signal or the digital signal from the DAW (the output from Cubase or another DAW) will be routed to the channel. To mix the analogue signals from the physical inputs or the digital signal coming from the computer via FireWire.

In the mono channels, the Yamaha N12 newly designed compressor circuits with Sweet Spot Morphing technology is installed. The compressor presets are based on decades of professional engineering experience. With their help, and now their sound has that professional sound - with easy operation. With the Morph control to select the various compressor presets or variable settings betwenn settings (morphing) from, with the Drive control to determine the amount of compression.

In each channel, the Yamaha N12 a 3-band EQ (High / Mid / Low), providing easy sound shaping. Thanks to the semi-parametric mid-band, you have a more detailed control over the sound.

All channels can be refined by the built-in digital reverb. You can even edit the audio tracks of a DAW connected with the reverb.

With Aux Send 1 to route the channels to the aux bus, for example, to create a special monitor-mix for the musicians, you're taking, or engage an external effects unit.

The Pan control determines the stereo position of the mono channels. Stereo channels have a Baöance knob lets you adjust the volume balance between left and right stereo channels. Odd channels are thereby fed into the left channel, while just fed channels in the right output channel.

The Solo switch turns the Solo function. Set a channel to solo, if you want to listen to certain, without changing the mix contents or signal path.

With the On button to turn each channel on and off (muting). If a channel is switched off, the channel signal only to the AUX bus output.

Each channel features a 100mm fader and an LED input meter consisting of four LEDs.

Use the REC and the ST switches to route each channel to the recording bus and / or the stereo bus.

With the Wet Switch you can determine whether you hear the dry input signal of the channel or the wet signal coming back from the computer after it has been processed there, for example by a VST effect.

You can have up to three stereo monitor speakers (A, B and C) to determine the Yamaha N12 connected and which signal you want to listen to the monitors. If you have a computer connected to the Yamaha N12, you can make using Cubase or another DAW also listen to 5.1 surround mixing and. (For such applications, you need a surround-DAW software that supports surround sound, such as Cubase 4 Cubase AI 4 software supplied does not support surround sound.)

Turn on the dimmer switch, to reduce the volume of the monitor signal is temporarily without changing the control room level - for example, if you want to run the control room a short conversation. With the mute switch lets you mute the monitor signal completely.

The Talkback switch activates the built-in microphone, so you can talk to the musicians who played in the recording room to the monitor signal.

In this section there are various switches to control the basic functions of a DAW software, is connected with the Yamaha N12. Transport controls, track select switch, switch for arming tracks and many more.

The Yamaha N12 offers three different modes, as it works with the connected DAW: In the Stereo Mix mode, you hear about the Yamaha N12 from the stereo mix from the DAW. The Hardware Mix mode, you can mix the audio tracks of the DAW with the hardware of Yamaha N12. In the 5.1 Mix mode you can create with Cubase 4, a surround mix.
