For internal buses, it has eight mono aux sends, six stereo aux sends, a stereo cue bus, a main stereo out, a separate subwoofer channel, and four mono matrices.

Internally, the TF1 has 32 mono fader inputs available for mixing, along with two stereo inputs and two built-in stereo effects returns. In fact, I would argue that a frictionless artist-monitoring system that offers transparent sound and efficient workflows is crucial for recording great performances, which is why any of the TF Series mixers would be a great choice for a tracking room.įor two months, I had the pleasure of using a Yamaha TF1, the most compact of the line, in my personal studio. But if you can work within that limitation, the TF1, TF3, or TF5 would be a fantastic project-studio centerpiece. Yamaha Pro Audio markets the TF Series for live sound (FOH mixing and stage monitoring) hence, 48 kHz is its only sample-rate. Less than a decade ago, the LS9-16, a similar console from Yamaha, would have cost three times as much - without the touchscreen, networking, and USB interface of the TF1. The fact that you can buy the Yamaha TF1, a 32-channel digital mixer with 20 analog input channels, 16 analog outs, moving faders, touchscreen control, advanced networking, and an onboard 34-channel USB audio interface to boot - for a penny under $2000 - blows me away.
