Yamaha AG08 Black 8-Channel Live Streaming Loopback Mixer/USB Interface with Steinberg Software Suite

I’m really impressed with the Yamaha AG06. It’s small, easy to set up, and delivers clear, professional-quality sound. The layout is intuitive, and it connects seamlessly with my mic and computer. Whether you’re starting a podcast or recording voiceovers, this little mixer performs far beyond its size. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting great results without complicated gear.

GREAT for a little mixer! It's very "quiet" electrically and robustly made - and so it should be, it's a Yamaha!!!

My setup is very specific using pc for accompanying music through otg. The music sounds pristine I wanted a 24 bit interface. The problem comes in when I have my iPhone hooked in aux using loopback for live streaming and recording. Singing tried several different mics. Same problem with clipping in recordings no matter the levels or even using the compression which just seemed to lower the input volume without helping the clipping. The reverb is nice but only one setting in the hardware. It would be nice to be able to adjust this setting on board. I did not use any of the software that came with want hardware that just works the way it is. I’m sure this is ideal for other types of setups but this one is maybe not as common. Hopefully this helps others who are trying for a similar setup.

Loopback button is really convenient so you dont have to mess with software, just dial in the volumes, push the button, and your mic and pc audio stream perfectly. Returning to just mic, click the button, done. Nice mute button, and has a decent reverb effect. It's pretty quiet, but compared to other interfaces its just tad bit noisier but its not too big of an issue if you dial it in correctly. The software was too much trouble to deal with so I just uninstalled and dont bother with the eq as it gets too noisy and the software keeps trying to take over and make things sound bad by remembering settings and such. They seem to not even have the correct software as I think it was designed for the mk1. All in all its a super convenient mixer that i switched to and prefer over audient evo 8 and focusrite 2i2 for the simple fact that I use loopback a lot and only require the one input and sound quality remained pretty decent comparibly. I love it and it made my life a lot easier when streaming. I would prefer other interfaces if you're into music production however as the drivers aren't great and I get a bit more sound quality and lower noise from other devices, but it would probably be sufficient in some respects.

This mixing board is a total game changer for my podcast. The gain and limit settings have allowed me to cut off low volume sounds, such as my breathing sound, and it also eliminated clipping of loud sounds. The sound from the inputs mixes flawlessly. It's an easy plug-and-play solution for getting good quality sound into Audacity, or any other computer recorder.

I looked long and hard for a mixer to do a very, very, very basic duty: Mix a live microphone signal with a line-level recorded audio source, and send the mixed line-level signal to a power amplifier. I also require 48 volt phantom power for a Shure SM58 micriphone. The Yamaha AG03MK2 does all this perfectly, AND it adds the capability to work as a USB-connected audio interface if needed, although a USB connection is NOT required This is a great blend of classic old-school analog functionality that can step into the future. My ONLY complaint about this is that it requires a USB-C power supply input; I wish it could plug into a regular 120 VDC outlet. However for the price, $139 in early 2025, I don't have any concerns. This thing is a fantastic value and I would EASILY buy it again. Thank you Yamaha!

Great quality and easy to use.

Very disappointed with the product. Box opened and torn. Did not come with any paper inside, manual or license of app. The mixer It has a very low sound and makes a lot of noise, even using a SM58 Shure microphone and also Shure headphone. All volume on maximum and even through sound too low. Why Yamaha quality team didn’t test the device before shipping? I waited one week for this device and the disappointment was huge. I hope only this device are bad because the Yamaha quality is very good. I wait a quick replacement,
