When interfaced with a recording system, flip the console into ‘Virtual Sound Check’ and you can get a jump on what the band will sounds like in the room. With 48 mono inputs, 4 stereo inputs, 24 Mix outputs, 12 Matrix outputs, expandable to 96 & 8 In, as well as doubling just about everything else using the Yamaha DSP5D the Yamaha PM5D-RH meets most production requirements and budgets. The PM5D and the PM5D-RH with recallable head amps being my version of choice, is a very efficient and robust mixing system. Input and output channel counts and DCAs are trimmed down as is its footprint - meaning less investment, less to rent, less to transport, less to set up and much happier business managers. Introduce the Yamaha PM5D and PM5D-RH Digital Mixing System similar in most ways to its big brother the PM1D, it is a powerful, leaner version of it. The PM1D has been and continues to be an outstanding digital mixer and system but it can also be way more mixer than what the majority of productions may require. The advantage I’ve found with Yamaha digital mixers is that it’s easy to interface with a number of different hard disk systems, including but not limited to Pro-Tools. Digidesign has done a brilliant job marketing the fact that their consoles interface with Pro-Tools, and they do, but it is certainly not a new feature.
I began interfacing the PM1D with Pro-Tools, Nuendo, and Tascam machines starting the first year I took possession of it. Recording from digital mixers straight to your hard disk recording system is nothing new. The sounds were clean, big and I’m proud to say there were no over dubs on the recording. Nearly 10 years later in 2008 I tracked Keith Urban’s Live DVD - Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing Tour utilizing a digital split direct from the PM1Ds I/O, 96 channels of Lightpipe to Pro-Tools. It still remains today the benchmark for high profile live production events such as the Grammy’s and the Super Bowl due to its reliability and it’s ability to meet demanding production requirements. I was one of the first to take the leap and embrace Yamaha’s PM1D, Yamaha’s flagship digital mixing system early in 2000.
With that experience I am able to confidently determine which mixer is right for a clients particular needs.

As a professional audio engineer and sound mixer I have the opportunity to mix on a number of different mixers, in many configurations, from many different manufacturers both analog and digital.
