    Thank you! I just did an impromptu performance and this helped me so much!!!!! I was able to listen in and get things sounding up to my personal standards. (Which are pretty high, I know I shouldn't beat myself up over it) I am ever thankful for this knowledge! It is wrote down in a note in the front of my binder with my checklist. So I will see it every time! Many blessings and thanks to you

    I was a bit skeptical about the X32 until I had to use one at a state fair for an entire month. 286 shows in the Texas heat and not one single issue except for an iPad with a crappy battery life that I was using to run it(I left the console backstage and mixed on the iPad from the crowd). I actually demanded the same exact rig for the fair this year I enjoyed it so much. It was a little tough learning curve coming from an analog background, but once I got it, I got it.

    Hi , I have a question that I have been having for a while. It may sound a bit stupid, but I look forward to your answer. Thanks a lot. Does the AVB audio interface support connecting multiple computers simultaneously through the network? Recording and playback can be performed by configuring different channels on different computers. For example, in a recording studio, in two control rooms, two computers can be used for recording through one AVB interface.
