I am not going to weed back thru posts to see if you were informative to anyone... all I know is what you responded to my post. Then what you responded to the guy right after mine about tracking drums in the same room. It appears some folks are comfortable with the way the headphone amps operate in the N12. I don't and a few others agree. They suck! Am I doing something wrong? I know how to stick a f**king 1/4" phone plug into the mixer headphone jack! But most importantly, I know how to listen and compare. Or better said, I know what I don't hear. I've heard cheap stereos sound better. Once again, I am done with this issue. If you like the way they work in the N12... good for you!

And now I see a few more of your posts about tracking drums in the same room. What works for some people don't always work for others. I don't have a multi-room studio and have tracked acoustic drums in the same room as the complete setup. I've read and seen some of the best of them do it, nothing wrong with it. Compression and proper mic placement will do anyone some good!

But don't talk down to people in your posts... it shows signs of being an as s! I see you must be a Mac user too. I suppose you know that a Mac is better than a PC too! rotf...

Ha, well actually Macs do work far better than PCs, esp. for the purpose of recording audio. If you look back thru this now-immense post you will see the vast majority of problems are not with Yamaha hardware, but with PCs. Oh right, I forgot: you are "not going to weed back thru posts to see". If closing your mind is what works for you - good luck with that too!

As for tracking drums in the same room as the mixer, great for you, but I repeat: no pro studio in the world does that. I've worked in many great studios, perhaps you should visit one to see how the pro's do it.

I'm glad to give help to people who want it, but if you're just here to whine, i can't help you. If there's something wrong with the N12 phone outputs, get the f*cking thing fixed or shut up already.
