hi dana can you put music from a computer or PC into channel 1?
Yes you can and you have a few ways to do it. The first is by using a audio interface which is expensive and unnecessary. The best way is to use the Aux In Remapping feature in Routing. Select "Card In 1 & 2" and then go to channel 1 and under the Config tab, select Aux In 1.
I actually found it the other day. Thanks.
You’re welcome!!
How do you assign drums to a bus group on the m32 mix app? I'm using the m32c.
Go to Setup and then Config. Select the mix buses you want to work with and assign them to the Sub Group.
thank you x1000
Thank you too for taking the time to comment!
Thanks again. I couldn't play or record CD's from the computer in Edit but I put the CD's on my phone and Edit played and recorded them. I use a USB audio player app on my phone and connect it to an AUX on my X32
Glad I could help!
The scale on MS is indeed fader position, just like on the B app, with 10dB of boost from unity with the fader at the top. He just didn't align the meter readings with the scale in the same way. It looks as though the scale as it applies to the meters puts 0dB at maybe -15dBFS signal level (in other worlds, the meter scale is what you'd see on an analog console).
I made this video because nobody seemed to know just where these meters were reading from and I think you are 100% correct.
is there a better alternative today? maybe something that can use sounds streaming from spotify etc. i am in need for a software that can play jingles at a sports event
I don't really keep up with Jingle Pallet but you can use any software to edit your audio and then play it back through your aux ins.
Great video. Can this be achieved without the live card?
Yes, absolutely. I have never done it with the Dante or ADAT Card but I do know that the rest of the cards work just fine.
Duuude! That helped a lot! Thank you sooo much!
Glad to hear it!
Man I have watched your video 20 times and we still can't fix our livestream if only you lived in Myrtle beach lol
We can do a Zoom call if you like, or we can come in person depending on your budget. danatucker.com/x-m-3-2mixers-on-site-consultation/
Dana, so this is the interface on an X32 mixer console, correct. I see a much simpler interface on my iPad. My question is, can I saves settings on my iPad Pro (12.9") just using the rack? I looked for a OS for my mac but its not available for my macbook? (I'm running current versions). thanks
Good morning. AFAIK, Mixing Station Pro is the only app that will save a scene to your iPad. Most people will save their scene to the mixer, and then simply recall it from their iPad using X/M 32 Mix.
If you only wanted just a click track to come from your DAW do you have to sacrifice 8 inputs for that one click? Or could you use the User in function and have just one input receiving the click from the DAW? I don’t have S16 so I only have the 16 inputs from my rack so I’m hoping to not have to sacrifice 8. Thanks!
It’s just like you said. By using the user in your can use one input from the card and 15 from your mixer. Make sure that your card routing matches your user in routing as well.
Dana, Thank you so much for your videos! I have an X32 Rack and I'm outfitting it with a DL32. I think I figured out how to route my inputs but I'm having a heck of time figuring out how to route my outputs so I can send signal to stage monitors... Do you have a video on that? I know the Behringer 32 channel stage box and the Midas stage boxes are very similar. Would you please shed some light?
it sounds like you have moved your default AES50 routing. All you need to do is set your Rack as the Master and plug in your DL32. Everything should work as expected as long as you set your inputs to either AES50 A or B and leave everything else to their default position.
Great video Dana...thank you. The one piece I'm struggling with, and maybe I'm just overthinking it, but can safes be set to protect against recalling snippet elements? Or, am I missing the point of snippets - similar to your original confusion - in that I control what DOES get saved into the snippet, so therefore I shouldn't need to protect channels/params on the recall side? Backstory: I don't want to use scenes for each song our band does, given the time it takes to load a scene, so I'm using snippets to save effects, some fader settings, etc. But if I want to protect against a certain snippet element from being recalled is there any way to do that other than *don't* save that setting to begin with? Thanks for your help!
Scene Safes are hard to grasp as everything is backwards. Snippets on the other hand are nothing more then a mini scene within that same scene. AFAIK, you really don't need to do anything to a snippet or a cue, other then to set it up correctly.
Dana, you have helped us all many times, and thank you again for what you do, brother. I need help once more. I have an x32 Compact at my drum kit. I send 8 buss mixes to our Foh full size x32 via AES A 17- 24 through 2 S16's. Am using backing track and click into the compact aux 5 and 6 and sent to buss 9 and 10 with signal visible. All buss settings are identical yet, I cannot get the signal FROM BUSS 9,10 AES A 25,26 to FOH X32. I have tried all of the routing tricks I know with the board and X-Edit.
Thanks for the kind words Brother. it has been a long time but I do remember that when you assign your aux ins to channels or busses, these reassigned inputs will not be recorded into your DAW or SD Cards. We may need to get together and try and work through your issue in real time. danatucker.com/talk-with-dana/
A couple questions about USB Sticks. Is there a way to tell if the stick you are using is compatible? Should something come up on the main X32 Rack screen to let me know I have a valid formatted stick? Last night I tried to record our band and when I clicked on the record button - either on the recorder screen - or on the right side panel, the record light would flash once very quickly and then go right back off. Is this a sign I don't have a compatible stick - or am I doing something else wrong? If I set to Post Fader I am assuming I will get the L/R mix just as I have all the various levels set, correct? Thanks!
There is nothing on the mixer that tells you everything is correct, other then what you experienced. There are many thumb drives that will not work with the X/M32 Mixers but the ones I use, can be purchased just about anywhere. I use the 8 gig scandisk cruser. This is the thing, you want the highest read/write speed you can get. The only requirements is that it is formatted to Fat32. Once you setup your mixer to either 44.1 or 48, make sure that you NEVER switch back and forth between the two settings.
Doing your steps exactly didn't get it to connect :/
I have no idea what computer you are using or anything else about your situation and it is impossible to even tell you where to start looking, with the amount of information you have provided me.
Nice one man! I was just looking for a solution to this problem (musicians that want a different mix because in there monitor things sounded to toppy, but if I would EQed like that wanted on stage in FOH would sound dark )very easy and well explained. Cheers mate.
Glad I could help!
So I'm trying to put a Digitech RP 55 through the X32 rack and can't seem to get results
How are you running it into the mixer? XLR. DI Box, Aux In etc.
So do you have to go through the mixer for this to work?
Yes. If you want the fx from the RP 55 to go through the PA, it must be included in the signal path before it hits the preamps.
Hi Dana, Thanks so much. I've had this issue for over a year now and finally fixed it. There's a quick bailout for this, you can set all the channels on a DCA instead and ride the fader down 6 to 8dB, that keeps the system from ever reaching digital clipping.
Great tip!
We have an issue with OBS (up to date), where the Mic channel in OBS intermittently does not sound until we remove the x32 channel source selection in the software and re-add in OBS. We updated system drivers and OBS software. Next we are going to try to update the ATEM Mini Pro. This issue is most apparent when we setup KZread in OBS and multi stream with Facebook.
I am sorry to hear that. It sounds like you are doing everything right. As with any troubleshooting when it comes to A/V, start removing things from the signal path until the issue goes away. Then start with the next step you are trying to do.
So can I add more than 32 channels If I have 2 s16’s with the x32. And can I even do that with outputs. Can I use the local 1-8 and then one s16 for the 9-16 but how would that work if I have my effects on outputs 14-16?
No, you are limited to 40 inputs and 16 outputs by the firmware, regardless of how many units you have linked together.
Thanks for the putting the wiki on the video and giving a bit of history on the concept.
Any time!
I’ve been trying to figure out if the x32 is capable of recording each track through usb directly to daw without having to use the cards?
You must have the USB Expansion Card to multi track record.
Yeah, you aren't doing this right. You don't have the geq set to the right source and don't have the rta reading post geq. You are looking at the source pink noise signal and saying that is how the room sounds because of your acoustic treatments 😂
I have never stated that I understand how to use MSP and if you know of a video that explains this feature, please let me know.
I've been scouring the internet for 2 days looking for an Android app to control my XR18. I'm coming from the analog live mix world to digital and I chose this mixer in order to be able to control the full front-of-house mix, as well as stage monitors, via my tablet. Problem is: the "X Air" app on the Play store doesn't exist anymore - only the X Air Q which is basically for individual musicians to control their personal monitors. It does not provide full mix view access to control everything needed for FOH! (Behringer apparently doesn't like to talk about that, nor can you find any information re-directing you to a different solution.) All of the information I've found is outdated - even the Music Tribe community's info regarding the app is outddated or non-existent. Unreal! It wasn't until I ran across this video that I realize the MX App will do what I need it to do. I downloaded a few minutes ago and looked at the Demo Mode and I believe it will do the trick. Thanks for posting this! (And yes, I know you're saying not to depend on this app - but I'm not aware of another FOH solution other than Mix Station?)
Behringer has been working on their new app for close to 1.5 years now and everyone is very upset with them, that relied on these apps for their mixers. If you decide their new app will work for your needs then you should download it and put it through its paces.
holy mouse click lol. great video tho!
My bad! I think I am going to just stick with the red circle. LOL!
Thank you so much for the video! So, I have the XR18 and so the USB player isn't an option, however I use the USB cable for playback. I am quite comfortable with the mixer in live sound and studio but I did a new set-up in my studio and everything was working perfectly. This morning I turned everything on and the sound was distorted then it only played through one monitor and then nothing was playing!! I was so confused! I watched this video and saw you setting the sample rate and I thought let me check that... It was set at 48kHz so I changed it to 44.1kHz and PERFECT! I have no idea how it changed because I didn't change it but now I know and I'm so happy! Basically... thank you for the video!!😊
Thank you for the kind words. Just remember that digital mixers are also computers and they do stuff all the time on their own. I am glad you got it working.
I think that I'll be sticking with the X-Air app on my Android tablet (latest version downloadable from the Behringer website. That's been working fine for me for the few months that I've had my XR18. I keep both that as well as the X-Air Edit app on a PC going when I run the unit. MX-Mix appears to be kinda buggy right now.
I did not even bother doing a video on their latest updates as everyone seems to be complaining about dropouts.
What reaper theme do u use?
It's the Default 5.0.
Im with you on that Dana, its not ideal for iem mixes to do this. But this would be awesome if you want to use it for broadcast stream mixes with 2 mix engineers. That way you can manipulate them both separately.
That's a fantastic suggestion!
Would this work with the behringer wing?
I don't use the Wing but I don't see why it wouldn't depending on how you use it.
Thanks for your help I had started learning digital on the presonus because a friend had it on sale cheap..... I always told my wife that I'd buy an x32 just to learn it. question. Im helping a friends church, can I set up a local router that is NOT hooked to the INTERNET and use it to communicate with the x32 THanks. Are you on facebook
You should not be connected to the internet to start with. The router is for communicating between the mixer and wireless smart devices. Yes I am on FB. facebook.com/groups/x32RackUsers/
Interesting ! A few things to consider though : - on a X32 rack at least : even if a dynamic mic seems to have an incoming level that is very low here (and especially compared to the condenser mic you tested), in a live situation you can get it loud enough (did that many times) with no issues by using the "talk level" encoder that is on the front panel. With a band i tour with, encoder at 11'o clock is often more than enough NB : the same knob is also present on the regular X32, so i would believe both consoles would behave the same in that way - in this video you tested it in a quiet studio-ish environment (we hear no bleed from a loud PA and a loud stage n your example, and i believe you did this video from your home studio). It would be interesting to hear the same test in an actual live environment, and i'm pretty sure in this case dynamic mics are way more suited than condenser mics for talkback if you use them like a regular handheld vocal mic like a sm58 (by talking into the mic, instead of having it on a stand far from you, which is how a lot if not most people use talkback mics live) , you would precisely have more talkback voice signal and less bleed than with a condenser mic. EDIT : i think a condenser mic would be more suited if you leave the mic on a stand or on the table, instead of getting it next to your mouth each time you speak (and that is also why the X32 built-in mic is also a condenser mic)
You will find that I am just as straight forward on my YT channel as I am in my FB community. Your lack of knowledge in the X32 Talkback system is overwhelming. Your comment is full of misinformation as well as incorrect statements. I did a video using your suggestion of setting the input gain for the talkback mic at 11 O'clock. This produced a output signal of around a -50dB. If you think that is except able as a output level, you don't know the first thing about audio engineering! Just as I told you in our community, this is the last comment I will make to you concerning this issue. Here is the video following your suggestion. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2t4yrOpiKXck7g.html
Do you have to have the X-Live card for this or can you do this with the X-USB card?
This works with the USB Card as well. The Dante Card and the ADAT Card use a different setup AFAIK.
Thanks for the info!!
Any time!
Thanks, Mr. Tucker
You’re very welcome!!
What app are you using for the wing? It looks like X32
I don't use the wing. What you see is for the X32 Rack.
I never got this to work is just hung
You are not alone!
I think a lot of the issues that I've had in the past stem from the fact that the mixer doesn't even show up on that screen at 4:00. That little frame is blank. I'm about to go troubleshoot someone's unit so I'm watching your video to prep before leaving.
I hope you get it figured out.
I'm used to using Reaper by watching your videos. Could you add a part to this video where you show the routing on reaper please? I would like to hear the vst plugins while recording tracks on reaper in headphones, it would be great to be able to do that.
I already have a video showing that.
I highly Recommend Mr. Dana Tucker. He's not only a great person, He's one hell of a Teacher/Instructor and I appreciate him for everything he's helped me with Thus far!
We need to hook back up!
@@DanaTucker1 Yes we do and Im ready I just got back from the Islands
Such a disappointment!
They just came out with another update. Two people told me don't even bother updating. They said all it did was crash every time it would connect.
When I open OBS, I get image from atem mini pro but no audio, or when I open atem software control, and then OBS, i get a really bad quality audio on OBS. Why ? Windows 10, OBS any version. Atem latest version
it sounds like you have the settings inside the ATEM set to "Mic Level In" instead of "Line Level In". Check there first.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hey dude. Love your content. I wondered if you know to load in some mixing presets into the x32 rack?
That depends on what you are calling Presets. You have channel presets that are stored in the mixer. If you already know this, then simply select the channel you want to work with and select "Load". You will have the option of either Scene or Channel Preset.
@@DanaTucker1 thank you, I just bought the x32 preset pack, and wondered how to load those files from my pc onto the x32 rack?
I don't understand why a company with the resources of Behringer and the vast number of customers that own their mixers would have so much trouble getting a reliable control app to the market.
You and me both Brother!
Thanks for easy explanation Dana. I'm a front man and want to get better sound. this technique of auto eq a room using white noise is new to me. Newb question but this technique only works in a quiet environment correct? Trying to perform in a bar with background noise ect won't work
This feature is OK if you are not into mixing, but it may cause more harm then good.
