Yes and no.
Yes, you can connect such a mixer directly to Reaper, and use it as your audio interface. Depending on the quality of the A-to-D converters (I didn't investigate), this might not be a "high quality" audio interface.
However, from the specs, the Yamaha MG10XU provides 2-in/2-out USB channels. Which means you can't send individual inputs from the mixer to Reaper and record them on separate tracks. You can only record two channels (left/right).
Maybe this is OK, if you only record 1 stereo or 2 mono instruments at a time. If you are thinking of using this to record an entire band playing together, you'll only be able to record a stereo mix, not individual instruments.
So depending on your needs, this particular mixer might or might not work out for you. You might be able to find a different mixer that has more USB channels.
