really cool idea.... i wonder if there's any limits using MainMix's vs. BusMix's for FX sends, not much if you burn an aux rtn for FX rtn....been wondering what id typically use extra main mix's for...
I use the Wing in my studio and Behringer needs to come out with Fader Automation and the ability to save full mixes instead of Snapshots. I'm trying to mix out of the box, but I still have to do all my automation in the DAW.
@@tony8236 you will be much more limited in how many channels you can run through Waves since the USB card only allowes you to send and receive 32 channels.
@@AWTechTuesday Thanks very much. in total maybe I would use something on the kick drum, maybe snare drum or a group of drums, bass, and vocals. Obviously then you get carried away and want more. about ten plugins in total,
@@tony8236 when it comes to the drums, you want to do all of them or none of them. If you do just kick the time alignment will be off for the rest of the kit and may cause phase issues or make things sound off rhythmically. -Chad
@@AWTechTuesday ok. I hadn't thought about this. but I wanted to know if using USB how powerful the PC must be. maybe I could work at 96khz and samples at 128/96 or even less
@@rev.adongopatrick789 These days, there are a bunch of analog mixers with 2x2 interfaces built-in. Obviously, these are very limited but can work if you only need to record the Main LR mix.
Dude, you gave me a light at the end of the tunnel. I have a doubt, let me see if I understand. I have my scene that uses 26 channels. My voices are from channels 23 to 26. In this case, would there be a lack of channels for me to do the routing as long as I wanted to process all the channels?
Very nice man a very nice man I appreciate it thanks for all the efforts just will have a question about how you made these lights and what Hardware that you bought?
HI I have a network for the equipment and another network for the users. Between the networks there is a firewall. I need to know which TCP/IP ports should be allowed on the firewall between the Mixer and the mobile application?
Don't use tape on cables for any length of time - the adhesive turns to goo. Don't leave standard masking tape - or even "board tape" (artist's tape) - on anything for a long time - the adhesive dries out and is a pain to remove.
great build. An alternative Pixel control to look at is the Dig-Octa board. While its 8 outputs might not handle the same number of pixels, its way way cheaper and can run standalone due to running WLED. and multiple boards can sync to eachother when doing standalone mode.
That looks really interesting. Love the price. Still trying to wrap my head around the options. I’d like to split up the power across 2 power supplies to keep the fans from having to kick on all the time. Doesn’t look like I can do that with the Dig power board but I’ll keep researching it :)
@@AWTechTuesdayMost power options are not going to do split power. Its a safety thing with load balancing. However a d very cool idea I saw the other day was to use server type PSU units, as you can easily get high wattage units. 12 volt common rail. And can swap fan to a Noctua Industrial to help quite things
I've just started learning about using RTA and how to ring out a mic and doing so with Presonus Universal Control and the rack 32R mixer. Some questions for you. If you use the channel EQ to sweep the frequencies to find the offending ones and make the necessary changes to the GEQ do you eventually go back to the channel settings and do any further EQ changes for the vocals? I'm trying to understand whether the GEQ setting changes are enough to minimize feedback while then making additional EQ edits on the channel. Can you please share how these both (channel EQ and GEQ) affect each other?
You can use inserts like in the video but only on a certain number of channels since you have a limited number of external insert slots available. You can also double-patch channels but, unless you only need a small number of channels, this can be very wasteful. Or you can get a separate console for monitors and send the unprocessed channels to that monitor console.
The gain reduction metering was added because that fader touchscreen function will be used with Behringer's future WING rack unit version that they are working on.
Depends on how powerful your computer is and whether or not you can run a super low buffer size. Also, if you’re blending triggers with the dry drum sounds, for the best results, you’ll want to delay the dry drums. That’ll be hard to do on the XR18 since I don’t believe there is channel delay on that mixer. You’d have to send them to a bus with a delay rack effect inserted and adjust the delay there - with no delay feedback and with the filters turned off. Soooo… is it possible? Yes. Is it worth it? That’s up to you. If you decide to do it, let me know how it went :) -Chad
There are a few ways. My first thought would be to use a pair of matrices for you stream. On the X32, you can send mixes to matrices just like how you can send individual channels to a mix. An example of this would be you using 3 pairs of mixes and one pair of matrices: Drums compressed, drums uncompressed, and all of your other channels (and you can break those up more if you have enough busses to do so) all going into your livestream matrix. I hope that helps! -Chad
My band as M32C and DL32. They want this to be their IEM rack and control Preamps of the DL32. Then, they want to use AES50 to send those inputs to a venue FOH X32 mixer. I am trying to wrap my head around this. Here's what I have: DL32 configured as master clock (48k). DL32 AES A connected to M32C AES50 A. M32C set Sync to AES50A, and routed with AES50A as input sources 1-32. M32C set to Lock the stagebox. M32C set to control AES50A preamps. M32C is also routing outputs to AES50A for buses 1-10 for IEMs. Then, DL32 AES50 B connected to FOH x32 AES50 A port. X32 FOH set Sync to AES50A, and routed with AES50A as input sources 1-32. This should give FOH all our DL32 inputs with Gain Trim only. Thus, they can mix FOH as they see fit for the venue. There is no need to send audio from M32C to X32 or vice versa. They simply want to share the DL32 as if it was a physical splitter snake. Will this work? Is there something wrong with this solution???
You’re welcome for the full fader paging and glad to see others are using it too. I’d requested that one back in the early 1.x days and it’s been great to expand the custom layers on the left bank. I have a few items like a two channel electric and bass that I use DCA’s for on the primary layer, then have the contributing channels and DCA’s on the 13-24 bank. I used to jones for DCA spill, but I’ve been using the custom layers to replace the need for it on the Wing. I wouldn’t want to use an X/M32 without though.
Good evening, I'm from Brazil and I have a question. The graphic equalizer analyzer is not modulating, it does not inform the respective channel frequencies. Is this a bug or some function that I can disable?
I wanted a cheap way to move my USB wifi adapter to a more open line of sight to the router which is about 10-12 meters away from my room. But the walls are really, really thick concrete. So I wanted to move it, but I heard most of these USB through RJ45 typically have low transfer rates, would it affect network speed and or latency?
In my country, everyone who mixes to unity is studio / DAW trained, or a "producer". Every single time. There are a couple studio trained guys who are good at live sound, but the rest of them suck. Mostly because they try to use all the same settings in a live show that work in a DAW when mixing & mastering for Spotify or other online music service. And of course, they just doesn't work in live sound. I was supposed to be a guest engineer at a double header where a friend's band was playing. The lead engineer started yelling at me when I started adjusting faders. I was like, here, you keep at it bro, & walked off. He was literally mixing on the makeup gain of the compressors. He is a "studio recording engineer". Not worth arguing with someone that stupid. If you are not supposed to use the faders, why is it that every console has them, I wonder? Recently, I was doing sound for small indoor festival (it's rainy season). The event was organized, as it turned out, by a young "producer". He comes over to me and says "why do the drums sound like that?". "Like what, bro", I ask. "Like THAT" he says. I realized, given that he'd literally just knelt down on stage as I was playing a test track & said "it's vibrating" that he literally had no experience with live music shows & real power. So I hit the mute on the drum VCA, and replied "because that's how they sound ACOUSTICALLY, in real life... listen carefully, they are not being amplified right now". He actually thought that you could just pick how you wanted each drum to sound, like using Steven Slate Drums or Spitfire VST in a DAW. He then proceeded to tell me exactly how he wanted the band on stage to sound (I'd already finished their sound check & was completely happy with the sound). I made his requested adjustments & he was like yah, that's great & took off. The lighting tech looks at me & says "Your mix was WAY better". This is what you get from "producers & "studio experts", in my country anyway - mostly madness.
100%! I used to work at a venue as a FOH engineer. From time to time we would get a band with their own engineer who went to a popular school for music production. These guys knew ProTools well enough but had no idea how to handle an analog console (this was years ago). They didn’t understand that you can’t EQ and compress the same way as the studio with a live PA without accounting for feedback. It was really sad most times.
Thanks! I am using the “wing” for the Agency band I mix for here in the DC Metropolitan area. I personally run my own studio, and have only one Midas 32 I use here [for sound and recording in my 1000sq’ black box] otherwise it’s all Yamaha’s and PT HD, LOL. My point? I only use the Wing on show day, and so I have only “used” it a handful of times! This video is FANTASTIC! And super helpful, I will subscribe, Thank you sir!
The brain commonly interprets the delayed channel as being a bit less loud than the primary channel. If you want the instrument to sound centered, turn the delayed channel up a pinch.
I never thought of using the M/C as a verb send. This will be very handy for things that either need a lot of verb level changes (lead vocal or snare), or things that are seldom send to verb, but when verb is desired it needs to be done quickly, such as turning up a guitar for a solo and taking it from 0 verb to a fair bit of verb. Thanks!
The Faders on the touch screen will come in handy with the Wing Rack and the fader level on scribble strips will be valuable when using the X-Touch at FOH with the Wing Rack stage side!
I connected our iPad running playback through Cable matters adapter to our x32s interface and it did not work. Is it truly bi-directional? According to the instructions, there's a transmitter and receiver. I'm going to attempt to swap ends. If there's any pointers that you can give us we would welcome it. Thank you.
If you’re using an iPad, you probably want to add a powered USB hub on the iPad side. Also, make sure you’re using the camera connection kit with your iPad, not an adapted cable.
