this mixer audio recording out?
You can connect the Yamaha MG12XU to a computer via USB to record a single stereo channel of everything that you have plugged into the mixer's inputs. You would need audio recording software to be able to do this as well.

Can anyone recommend a gear bag for this mixer? Thanks!
The Gator Cases #GAGMXRBG1815 G-MIXERBAG-1815 padded nylon bag would provide enough storage space for the Yamaha MG12XU mixer and power cable.

question
If I connect to a laptop via USB, is it possible to mix recorded channels separately with DAW software? E.G. Record a live band to laptop and then mix each input post recording. If so, which software would I need? Thanks
The USB interface is 2in/2out. You will be transmitting the main stereo mix to your computer via USB. Individual channels are not able to be routed to separate channels in a DAW via this mixer.

question
How stable is the USB connection? Can you use it during gigs?
I have not heard any complaints about stability of the connection itself. I have heard about some of the most recent Windows OS updates not being compatible with this mixer. Another small mixer with a usb connection that is known for its reliability would be B&H part # MAPROFX12V2.

Can the Yamaha mg12xu handle 250 ohms?
In order to answer your question about whether the Yamaha MG12XU Mixer can handle 250 ohms, it would be helpful to know what you will be connecting. The MG12XU is a passive mixer so there is no built-in amplifier. It can be used with any powered speakers or used with a separate amplifier and passive speakers.

Is this a good Mixer for the Shure SM7B? I recently bought this mic and I understand it needs a lot of Pre amp gain, at least 60+db.
While this can used with the SM7B, it is highly recommended to purchase a signal booster to add additional gain to the mic before the mixer. An example would be the CloudLifter B&H # CLCL1.
