The section beginning at 2:28 is vital information. I had difficulty with this last night - I could not get effects to be heard in the Aux busses. This video completely clarified what I was doing wrong - I didn't have the channel faders up in the main LR mix bus (even though I was not using the main LR bus). This video was extremely helpful - thank you!

I had exactly the same issue - we were doing a monitor check and couldn't get effects via the Aux outs - now I know why!
I watched this video 5x and could not get my reverb effect to work. Turned out the reason was: on the FX page I had "Insert" enabled for the effect (but target channels where OFF so it was not doing anything), but this choice disabled the effect for FX mix. So: if FX mix does not seem to work, make sure the "Insert" button is off.

You guys do a great job on these videos and they are very helpful. The only advice I would offer is to ditch the background music. It's a very unnecessary distraction and makes grasping what's being said more difficult.
Can you make a video explaining how to link aux. buses together for stereo in ear monitor mixes and the cables needed to send it from X AIR to a Behringer P1 in stereo. Know it can be done, just not sure exactly how. Thanks so much.. I have an XR16 mixer and its such a good mixer. Know its capable to do a lot more than I know about it. All the videos I've watched has helped in someway or another.....keep em coming!
Thank you I’ve been pulling my hair out over this. I didn’t realise the main mix channel fader had to be up.

This is a great tutorial. Can you do a tutorial on using a bus as a subgroup?
Thank you, can you do a tutorial on how to record effects, post fader, pre-fader etc. rather than analog, when recording via USB?

I think if you go to the I/O tab you can select the point at which the USB send is tapped.

What if you don’t want your vocal at Unity? Wouldn’t it be better to explain how to send fx to monitors, pre-fader, then your effects are not dependent on your channel fader level ??
Hey Behringer we need you to fix the x-air edit iPad app IOS16 broke it!
I watched this tutorial a few weeks ago and then at practice I must have forgotten exactly what you said because I couldn't get the effects to work without feedback. What I had mistakenly done was raise the effects send on the FX1 to FX1. Why does Behringer allow you to do this? It's also not obvious that the FX slider on the Bus 1 view is the return. Couldn't there be some tooltips in the software to indicate what function they perform (maybe in a "learning mode" which could be turned off.)
Hi. I have tried this over and over again with both an x18 and xr18 both reset to factory defaults, bit something is missing in the steps. I get the feed to bus 1 but NO signal to FX 1, therefore turning up and down the fader on FX 1 does nothing. There has to be something missing here. Please advise. There are NO effect currently inserted to any channels directly either, as someone else mentioned in this thread. What am I missing? Thanks
Brilliantly described. BUT PLEASE, how do I send FX to the main LR? Or am I being thick? Thanks

your efx is turned up in main, why no reverb on main if its turned up?
I see this is an old video but hoping you still get message. I just bought the Behringer XR18 and I'm trying to get a quick stereo slap delay but can't seem to get rid of the repeat in echos. Is there a way to get a single delay from one of the effects?

I'm using Reverb FX2 sent to Bus 5 which goes to Main LR (Our On stage sound) but i can't get it to work on Bus 3 and Bus 6 even if move up the slider for FX2 in these last two Buses. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?
I would be great if Behringer could do some fresh tutorials on the updated current app. The latest app considerably different. Product support? HELLO???? How are us new customer supposed to learn this stuff?
I have a question! I have my guitar plugged in to an X AIR and I want to have a ping-pong stereo delay on my in ear monitors to add stereo width to my guitar. If I do a send/return to the stereo delay effect, I can hear the delay bouncing between the left and right channels. However it would be better for me to use the effect as an INSERT. But if I insert the effect into my guitar channel, the same effect sounds mono. What am I doing wrong?
But how do you send channel 1 to aux? That's what I can;t figure out Help!

What do you mean "send channel 1 to aux"? In this video they use "aux" to mean "bus" and monitor. If you want to send channel 1 to bus 1-> click "bus 1" tab-> bring up master fader bus 1-> bring up channel 1 fader On the mixer "Aux" (in red) refers to 1/4 inch cable input channel 17/18. You can send channel 1 there in routing matrix, but I'm not sure that's what you want?

@2:28 Michael says you have to have the main LR input sends turned up for anything to go to the FX bus, and as he turned down the fader the level in FX1 also decreased. Question: could FX1 just be set as pre-fade listen instead of post fader? Would you WANT to do such a thing?

How do I send to main and not aux. I followed all your instructions and still dont have FX playing out of main LR
Thank you!
hey. is the aux out in Behringer digital mixer means bus out?
Although I worked thru all of this there are some important items you left out for a "side channel". The send to the FX can be prefader or post fader, and the default is pre fader. The other item you were muts on is the FX input send. If you are combining the sends from many channels you need to pay attention to this setting. A little more detail would be much more helpful.

But how do you get effects in the Aux busses but not on the Main LR Bus?....Seems basic but utterly impossible on the XR18.
The quickest way to throw off your singer's pitch is to cloud their monitor with EQ and FX! My band wants a clean monitor. I want to send the FX effects to the FOH. How do I do this?

I have my system setup so that BUS1 is foldback. Now I can click bus1 and separately EQ foldback sound and fx seperate from FROH this means that at anytime I can increase the amount of volume or fx to a given singers foldback if they want more or less of each.
Hi Michael. Nice explanation. Thanks a lot. I have XR18 and few P16 mixers. I would like to see how to add let say Vintage Reverb only to ch5 in my P16 (not AUX BUSes) using send/return method no insert effects method. The rest channels would stay with no effects at all. Thanks in advance.

@Behringer Is the X Air product series EOL? With the iOS app not being updated since March 2020 and iOS 16 breaking the app are you planning to fix it or do you have a replacement in the pipeline? Retailers are still selling the products but I would assume it should be End of Sale as one of the primary ways to control the product no longer works.
Hi how can i run 4 mics thru the same Fx bus so that all for have the same fx instead of using one channel each . example mic 1 2 3 4 running in bus one and using only Fx 1 fader

Thanks for the video! I'm confused about a couple of things...you mentioned sending Channel 1 to Aux 1 but I missed how you assigned this. There are 6 Aux ports on the unit. How did you specify Aux 1 and not Aux 2, Aux 3, 4, 5, 6 or all 6 at once?? And why are there 6 Aux but only 1 Aux slider? Are they all bound to the same volume? I'm struggling to get Channel 1 & 2 to point to Aux 1 & 2 for a stereo in ear monitor.

To send an input channel to any Aux you need to select the Aux channel by clicking on the button on the bottom RHS of the X-Air Edit screen. All of the input faders will then have a coloured line around each: this colour matches the colour chosen for that Aux (you can easily change these colours) This shows that all of the input faders positions refer to the mix that you want to send to that Aux (it is important to note that this has NO effect on the amount of each input being sent to the main LR mix: you are only setting up a different mix for that Aux) When you click on the Main LR button the coloured lines around the input faders will disappear, showing that you are back to mixing the main LR signal. The same process is used to send any of the input signals to an Fx module: select the required Fx button; the input channel faders will now have a different coloured band around each, showing that you are sending to that Effect module. There is an important difference between Aux Sends and Fx Sends: while you can consider both as extra "mixers within your mixer", the mix that you have set up for the Fx module has an additional Fader to adjust the overall level of that Fx Send mix actually getting into the Fx module. This "Fx Send Master Fader" is not visible on the top layer of X-Air Edit; you can however access it using the Utility button and selecting one of the User buttons. This can then be configured to contain any of the input and/or output faders: you need to select all 4 of the Fx Send buttons (I also select the 4 Fx Return buttons, but you can choose whichever buttons suit your needs) The Fx Send Master Faders names will be labelled in dark blue (the Fx Return faders are green by default: these are the faders which appear immediately to the RHS of the Aux 17/18 input fader) The important thing to realise here is that even if you have 'Sent' some input channels to the Fx module, none of that signal will actually be processed by it if the Fx Master fader is fully down! You should set this at the 0 dB position i.e. whatever level of each input signal you send to the module with actually get into the Fx module. You then set the amount of the Fx module output that you want to add to your Main LR mix or Aux, by adjusting the level of the green Fx Return faders . You can even program one of the Mute buttons to temporarily switch OFF the effect, usually done when the artist is talking between songs. I'd recommend that the Mute should just switch OFF the Fx Send, and not the Fx Return, as this will allow any reverb etc to fade-out naturally when muted, instead of cutting out instantly. Sorry this is so long-winded, but so many people have problem with effects, which are often due to them not realising that the signal path is: Input ch SEND to Fx; adjust Fx SEND Master Fader; adjust Fx Return Fader. Note that normally it is best to have the effect SENDS as Post Fader so that the amount of the effext follows the actual input signal fader; Aux'es however will normally be Pre-Fader, as you're artists won't want their Foldback mixes changing as you mix the Main LR (FOH) signal. Hope that this helps.

Hi Guys, Can anyone help how to add some effects to P-16 ultranet monitor unit? OUX are quite clear but P-16 not. Maybe my question wrong and I should ask: is it possible? Thanks for help in advance.
Why is FX1 muted? To avoid sending to the main output?
Hi All Live sound engineer here I cannot get more than one effect to the main out or the Aux out. I wanted guitar amp , delay, reverb to the main out into my DAW. This is the whole reason I bought the x-air 18. I Insert the fx on bus 1 say reverb delay on bus 2 as we do live. Send to the busses but I can omly get one effect. This doesn't make logical sense to me.
Please fix the bug from the apple app, ipad and Mac. I can’t use the mixer, this is not ok. 😡😡
hmmm. this doesnt make sense. if you have two channels going to one monitor, adjusting via FX1 would adjust the reverb on both sources. how could i independently control the reverb for the 2 channels?

Since your monitor inears are mono there is no way of doing that. If you want that effect you have to use two buses to get stereo monitoring.

You can either send your 1 input to 4 effects and then return the effects to the master bus or the aux bus and just leave the input signal out at the end. Or you can use insert mode with each effect
