Yamaha MG12/4 to Tascam 424mkII

[studiodrum]

Hey everybody,
anyone familiar with the Yamaha MG12/4 mixer-- I understand it has a 4 buss. But, I was wondering what type of plug connectors the 4 buss outs are. . . are they XLR, or 1/4" . .?

I was thinking of maybe barrowing a friends MG12/4 to record some demo stuff with my Tascam 424. . . I will be using 2-4 condensers mics. So, I thought that it might be easier just to use the Yamaha mixer, since it has Phantom power, and from what I hear, it has some fairly descent pre-amps.

But, I'm a little confused about how I would hook the MG12/4 mixer to the Tascam 424mk. Is there a simple way of doing this, and will I be able to record 4 tracks at the same time using the MG12/4 mixer, and Tascam 424mkII.

Any ideas .. ? Thanks guys!

The MG has 1/4" outs on the stereo, group and sends. You could use 4 of those 6 outputs to get your separate tracks, or there are insert jacks on the first six (from memory) channels that you could use as direct outs instead. So it will work fine for you.
