Introduction BTS Reel
Meet the engineers, hear the artists, see behind the scenes footage, and learn more about why Yamaha reimagined the live sound mixing experience in order to empower more users than ever before to get good quality audio quickly.
Ease of Use part 1
In this clip, the roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the “Ease of Use” of the TF Series. Specifically, they refer to dedicated mute switches, the tap tempo function, user defined switches, user defined knobs and the Touch and Turn control to provide intuitive operation.
Ease of Use part 2
In “Ease of Use part 2”, the roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the “Ease of Use” of the TF Series. Specifically, they refer to the home button, swiping to get around on the touch screen, channel naming and color-coding, DCAs (or groups) and the custom layer.
Ease of Use part 3
In “Ease of Use part 3”, the roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the “Ease of Use” of the TF Series. Specifically, they refer to both the importance and ease of pairing faders, the amount of visual feedback, the same user experience on all models, and the offline editor.
Benefits for the Pro
In this clip, the roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the features of the TF Series that are in “Pro” level digital mixers and the features they wish were on “Pro” level mixing consoles. Specifically, they refer to sonic quality, pro features, digital snake option and exclusive features.
GainFinder™
The roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the new GainFinder™ feature for adjusting analog input gain. Specifically, they explain the importance of properly setting gain and how GainFinder is a visual indicator that simplifies this once difficult process.
1-knob EQ™ Vocal Mode
The roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the new 1-knob EQ™ Vocal Mode feature for setting the perfect vocal. Specifically, they go through the process of using 1-knob EQ and then switching out of 1-knob mode in order to fine-tune the vocal.
1-knob COMP™
The roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the new implementation of the popular 1-knob COMP™ feature from our analog mixing consoles. Specifically, they go through the process of using 1-knob COMP and show how the console can be used to train new engineers on how compressors work.
Compression Explained
The roundtable panel of audio engineers explain the concept of compression in very simple terms and discuss scenarios where this type of effect is most often used.
Using QuickPro Presets™
The roundtable panel of audio engineers explain the concept of compression in very simple terms and discuss scenarios where this type of effect is most often used.
Output EQ
The roundtable panel of audio engineers learns the approach Yamaha used to create the output EQ presets and briefly discusses the Parametric EQ and Graphic EQ options on the outputs of each console.
On-Screen Piano Keys and RTA
The roundtable panel of audio engineers test the real-time analyzer (RTA) and piano key reference feature screens that are located in the parametric EQ section of every input and output of the TF Series.
Sends on Fader
the roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses using the “Sends on Fader” feature to simplify adjusting various monitor mixes for a show.
USB and Virtual Soundcheck
The roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the practical application and use of the built-in USB interface for Virtual Soundcheck.
Remote Control
The roundtable panel of audio engineers discusses the TF Editor for Mac/PC, TF Stagemix™ for iPad, and MonitorMix for iOS devices.
Russ Long Testimonial
