Behringer Wing - FX Routing -  

Good job on this video Chad. Many folk on the forums struggle with effects routing options. You covered them well.

this is the most helpful video I've seen so far on this mixer

This was great Chad, thank you!

Thank you so much!!!! This is much much better then 45 min of blabla. For some reason all Wing videos are just talking. This is very good thank you!! Not only i can hear FX i can also learn from your videos. All the best!!

Very clear, very good explanation. Thx.

Thank you very much for this video!! Super helpful and very well put together! I was always taught use the send fader for reverbs and the return faders for delays. Seems to be working well for me honestly don’t remember the why but I do like it better that way. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

If you’re not careful chad you’ll become the drew brashler of the ‘wing’

Great Chad. Your videos are the best on this . I'd love to see you walk through EFX to Monitors like this using bus 13-16 to feed bus 1-8 which is I believe how it is implemented Well done

Great video man! Really helpful!

This one of the best breakdown I ever seen on Wing tutorials. Kudos doc

Exactly how I set send/return effects up.

That was an excellent presentation of effects routing. Behringer needs to pay you for this very concise and easy to understand tutorial on setting up the effects. Great job Chad. Now, for the 'not so great job' for Behringer. I was really hoping for a giant leap forward in digital board capabilities with respect to effects being applied on a per channel basis and this video cleared up and confirmed a major disappointment that I have with digital boards: Why can't they move on from the ancient Send-Return effect philosophy? I was hoping for the option of truly inserting an effect per channel strip (inline in the channel signal flow with a wet/dry mix control to bleed the effect back to the channel audio). That way, I could have effect settings tailored for each channel that I want to use them on, rather than the old school send all channels to ONE effect processor and get a SINGLE, muxed together, effect return. An example of what I need would be processing REVERB for the in ear mix to each vocalist. With the archaic 'SEND all channels to one effects processor and RETURN all processed signal down one return' effects philosophy, each vocalist ends up getting all the REVERB from all the vocalists to their in-ear, even though they only want me to adjust the reverb for their own channel. I'll wait for the next generation and hope it is more like SAC (Software Audio Console) which is miles ahead of mixing desks when it comes to effect routing.

Nice Video! Thanks :) Helps bridge the time until my wing arrives. For Method 2: Could you attach the Bus -> Main (and Bus -> Bus for FX on mons/busses) faders to a DCA? That way you would still have master control over the FX return.

You don't need to route your effect bus to a return channel on the Wing. You can route the effect bus directly to the mains, This way you don't waste a channel. Thought it was peculiar that the Wing did not have effects returns by default like the X32, but now I know why. You don't need them.

Thanks! Recommendations for sending reverb to a monitor mix?

I like having the delay spill, I think it's more natural. That's just me though. Great tutorial, I agree with the previous comment that you're going to become the Drew Brashler of the Wing. Lol. His videos were clutch on the X32. Thanks for the info. Would love to see some other stuff on FX. I saw somewhere that you can choose a modeled compressor for each and every channel and it doesn't burn the actual effects slots that you would use for bus FX like reverb and delay etc. Would like to see if that's true and see a run down of all the other FX as well. Also looks to be some cool harmonic FX like the SSL Warmth which is another one you're supposed to be able to use on every channel because it is a replacement for the stock Gate plug in. Would like to know how that kind of stuff works and if you can indeed use it on every channel. Thanks.

This is great. Can you do a video on having effects sends on individual channels to translate on the stream channel for a stream mix? Thank you!

Thanks for this video!! Question… say you have your stream/recording bus sent to a matrix. Could you send your FX busses to that matrix as well to hear the FX and avoid burning through your Aux channels for FX returns? Is this essentially what you’re doing with option 2 and sending busses to the mains? TIA!

Great video...very useful sir.. But we also need to send our fx on the IEMS and wedges.... So can you tell us how do we send it over there...because it's bit confusing and not as friendly as x32... Thanks in advance

We just got a wing and are looking to set up waves SuperRack. Can you take a video to go over how you have the wing setup with SoundGrid and SuperRack?

Guys, I believe if someone don't understand something its better to take time to learn before you complain. Thank you

what are you sending to mains? the fx sends or the aux returns?

Super initialized and 0 literature shipped with the console on how to set it up. LUL luckily I had a few weeks alone with it to get comfortable. It is not intuitive all.

Can you do a video of best sound settings for church service with worship team and sound settings for preaching

I might also consider setting up a DCA for the effects levels on one of the four mains faders to the far right. That way all the effects can be adjusted quickly or turned off (mutes are sometimes a bit too abrupt) even when you are mixing something else with the rest of the board.

how to setup a main LR on the wing for Livestream?

I was wondering..since you can now send busses to busses do you still need use the fx returns to send some fx into a monitors on stage?

How would you send fx to IEMs in auxiliary outputs and p16s ?

Great video!! We just got our Wing and are struggling to set it up. Most videos on RU-vid are made as if you've already worked with a digital mixer. Coming from the analog world, the digital world is confusing. Do you have or recommend a Wing video for dummies? lol Thanks!

Having trouble sending fx to monitors how can I do this with bus

How would I send reverb to my Avions

Why are you calling a mix bus "sends, and sends channels"? It is a bus used for a collection of signals or sends usually processed then returned to the main mix, or routed to an output. Sends originate from the channel strip, then go to the assigned bus. Band Verb S is a mix bus, bus13. The sends going to that bus can be turned on by selecting sends on the channel strip page. All the buses show up there. You can raise or lower your sends there. There are other ways to do it, but using the channel strip is less confusing to the less experienced user.

Hello, New wing owner here.Dont stone the dumb questions. lol I have 2. -I have a channel that's doubled so inputs 1-12 (standard 1-8) there is no channel 10. my channel 4 is doubled. And I cannot find it. -Also It is quit difficult to get a main output signal for live sound. Headphones all work. The 1/4 main out plugs are dead. I've routed so much. Pretty proud never owning a digi b4. But the main out doesnt ring a bell. Basic I know... Thanks for the help. Appreciate you.

total confused, clicking around too fast
