It's worth noting that mixer will work as long as it has USB power, and for me that has worked during reboots on the PC and even with the PC powered off as I chose a port that has power for charging all the time. This allows me to listen to music even with the computer off (or just doing updates on it), and it also doesn't have noises or pops when the PC is powered on or the mixer powers on.
On top of all the features, the sound quality is amazing. Has no noise that I can hear, is not susceptible to USB noise from the PC, and doesn't pickup RF interference either. It's basically as flat as you could ever ask for in a mixer. It makes a great headphone amp, I use it with a set of Grado SR225e. I also have speakers attached, and it's nice to be able to do both simultaneously.
I think the only weirdness I've noticed is you need to add the Steinburg drivers to get 24-bit and/or better than 48khz sample rates. As Win10 does the 6-month updates this has required periodic maintenance to keep working. But it's also a one-time thing and then you don't touch it until Microsoft breaks it on the next refresh. I have mine set to 24-bit/96khz. Basically overkill for most of what I do but hasn't shown to have any latency or other issues on my PC.
TL;DR - it's versatile, has a great loopback feature, works awesome for Zoom, Discord, or whatever, and sounds really good.

Solid quality, though not as good as a previous Komplete Audio, the software was quick, easy and simple, and the audio quality is good. Plenty of inputs and outputs, which is the reason I bought it over another Komplete Audio.
The included software is a waste of install space, I just run everything through FLStudio. I was originally going to purchase a KA 6, but had trouble getting the remainder of the funds, and then a KA 2 would have had just enough outputs, but I liked the even more extra inputs that this had. I do miss the extra software and music stuff from the KA2. If I had to return this for any reason, I wouldn't hesitate to exchange it for a Komplete Audio 2 if necessary because of the extras the KA2 has, but for the price of this one, and the features, it's worth the $30 extra that I paid for this.
Audio quality is good, noise levels are good, it hasn't had any random strange issues, and I have always liked Yamaha products, so this is a solid addition. I just wish the bundled software was better, or at least a little more robust.
*UPDATE* Was having issues with not able to get my mic to register any input into my computer, DAW, or discord. I realized with my DAW I had to change to a specific input, but that specific option never showed up in other apps. I realized I had ASIO4ALL installed, and removed it. Once I did that, everything started working, registering mic from LINE2.
The audio quality is amazing, and the unit is (mostly) quiet as a mouse. The only exception to this is when the amp simulation is engaged on the Channel 2 input and set to moderately high gain/distortion levels, when a low-level hiss is audible with or without a guitar plugged in. This background hiss seems to be an intrinsic aspect of the unit's amp model. The amp modeling that Yamaha have included in the AG mixers is very similar to the modeling in their THR-series mini combo amps. That is to say, it's stunningly realistic and extremely musical. After using the downloadable Windows driver and editing software to dial back the heavily distorted tone of the factory preset, I was able to get a great bluesy tone that responds to picking dynamics in a way that is uncannily, eerily similar to an actual tube amp. Monitoring the tone with headphones, it's easy to close your eyes and imagine you're plugged in to an all-tube amplifier that's been mic'd. (It's also worth noting that clean settings on the Amp Sim are mostly free of any background hiss.) To test just how closely the model matches a real tube amp, I recorded the same snippet of lead guitar in three ways: 1) using the AG06's built-in amp simulation; 2) setting an SM57 mic in front of my [world's most famous British brand] Class A/B tube amp; and C) recording the headphone out signal from my Yamaha THR10 mini amp. Listening back to the three takes, I think I'd be hard-pressed to identify which one was done with the real tube amp vs. either of the simulations had I not made the recordings myself. I'm guessing that Yamaha drew on the same algorithms for the AG06's Amp Sim as those used in their THR amps. The Amp Sim circuit is post-fader in the signal path, and with suitable adjustment to the gain in the Amp Sim settings (again, via the Windows editing software) it's possible to set things up so that the guitar's tone transitions from a just-barely-crunchy to heavily-saturated-distortion just by adjusting your guitar's volume knob (or the channel fader if you prefer). There's plenty of gain, even for my single coil pickups, with the ability to set headphone volume and USB audio output levels as high as could ever reasonably be required.
The mic-specific Channel 1 also has plenty of extremely clean gain available, and the one-button (and editable) Comp/EQ and effects circuits will cover an extremely wide variety of recording situations, from vocals to acoustic instruments and anything in between.
The unit seems solidly built, with high quality sockets and pots that have a good tactile feel and snug connections to inserted jacks. The single peak LED on each of the two mono input channels, along with the Stereo Out's two-level Sig/Peak LED indicators, have just the right amount of sensitivity to help dial in optimized signal levels that are strong but not distorted. I really like that Yamaha included balanced inputs and outputs, rather than the unbalanced tip-sleeve connections found on many compact mixers in this price range. They've packed a very (and useful) feature set into a very compact unit (the AG06's footprint is smaller than an iPad and only 2.5" thick). Power consumption is a modest 500mA at 5V, so the 12,000 mAh mobile USB battery I'm using to power it should provide nearly 24 hours of continuous operation between charges. The 'Swiss Army Knife' metaphor gets overused these days, but the AG06 really deserves that description. There are so many possible uses for it in a music recording studio. The Loopback function is targeted at podcasters, but with the onboard amp simulator and high quality mic pre with +48V phantom power, it's an ideal compact mixer to pair with an iPad for a guitarist wanting a complete (and completely portable) multitrack recording rig.
Top reviews from other countries
- get a very good sound quality to narrate books, record videos, and do streaming
- get a phantom power for when I want to use a condenser mic
- be able to manually adjust the main sound aspects
- be able to monitor myself
- have an option to plug in the 2nd mic if I want to stream with my partner of record a podcast with another persons sitting next to me
- have the headphones AND the external speakers to be connected all the time, simultaneously
-- have an option to adjust the volume for the headphones and speakers independently
- have a power on/off button and have it on the front
- low power consumption so that I could power it from the laptop or a tablet (if needed)
This little does all of that. It's incredibly reliable as it can work for 10+ hours without overheating.
The only beef I had were some occasional issues with the Windows Zoom app on both my laptops. During the calls, Zoom might sporadically switch to other audio devices and then back to the mixer. However, after long sessions of finding info on forums, I realized that it's not about the mixer per se; it's about some corner cases in the Zoom under-the-hood logic. They seem to fix that bug more or less, plus we got updated drivers for this mixer about every quarter, so things have been better with Zoom in the last half a year.
Also, sometimes Win desktop Discord kinda misbehaves and doesn't work correctly with the mic. But I use discord very rarely for calls, so I don't care.
I'm using this mixer on Win10, Win11, and with iPad Air 5th. In all cases, the USB data cable powered the mixer with no problem.
Strongly recommend if you want a versatile and reliable solution for your audio. I'm sure this mixer is a better option than most of audio interfaces which are, basically, just external audio cards.
Está también genial que se pueda conectar con el iPad y grabar directamente ahí (solo que se necesita comprar el adaptador USB 3.0 para que el mixer prenda y se pueda usar).
