IS THE X32 STILL WORTH IT IN 2024 | MIX BREAKDOWN/PRO TIPS AND TECHNIQUES 

That's awesome to hear! Glad you're enjoying the content. 🤘

I’d be interested to hear those differences side by side!

Thank you!

If you can mount the rack by the stage box, you’d be able to save money by getting a splitter snake. Otherwise, if you are ready for Dante, then, by all means, go for it.

@@juanestevez8047 good recommendation. The rack is 5 feet away from our stage box.

I’m only using one stereo subgroup (bus 9/10), which is the Drum Dry group. I wanted all of the drum inputs set at unity passing into the bus so I can time align the two stereo drum busses. Everything else is a Post-Fader Bus, therefore I can control the send level.

@@alexleebataller Oh. That makes sense. Thank you

Both of our EG sources are stereo lines, this gives a much wider space for the guitars wet effects. Compression settings all depend on the source! Faster compression settings “tame” while slower settings give more initial room for “punch”.

@@alexleebataller I see interesting. I'm used to usually miking up the EG's amp using a single SM57 else is a mono out from the guitarist's pedal board direct out.

Because it’s not sharing waveforms of the same input (ie. overheads picking up snare), you’re in the clear. It won’t introduce anymore issues than are already inherently there to begin with. We’re talking about less than a millisecond of time difference. Which is enough to tell on the drum channels, but not everything else. Hope that makes sense!

I’m not an expert on testing delay compensation but I’ve found a quick way to check round trip times and anything in between. You just need your console and a DAW. First, create two identical audio tracks with a simple sine wave and loop the audio section. Next, route them down two channels on your console and flip polarity on the second channel and set both volumes to the same. You should hear them cancel each other out and then no longer hear each of them. Next you can play around with adding different effects inserted onto the second channel and then engage and increase delay on the first channel until you start to phase them out again. Not all effects racks are created equal. You can also calculate the difference of channel to bus and even round trip latency if you add an interface and a few cables. This is an EXTENSIVE subject and there are trained professionals that handle stuff like this all the time who know way more than me. There’s also measurement applications like Smaart that you can look into. Hope this helps!

Use smaart on ur final outs.toggle insert (fxrack) on/of take a look at live ir or just simply do find delay mode n look at the time diff (ms)

X32 Edit

@@alexleebataller Is it only for post edit? Or can you use it live? Can you use your VST's in it?

@@doubleaceprod it doesn’t host or process any audio from your computer, it is simply a companion controller app for an X32 console.

The drums are being sent to a group and the group is in the DCA. 🤘🏻

It can be treated as a Sub-group or a Post Fader bus. I have it as a Post Fader Bus on Bus 14 as it shares the block setting of bus 13 which is the Drum Verb Post Fader Bus.

@@alexleebataller I would remove all my Vocals off the LR and push it into that Vox comp bus correct ?

@@emmanuelojie9814 that is correct, then send Vox Comp to LR

@@alexleebataller perfect thanks

@@alexleebataller great video, it just broadened my knowledge.

All of this will work on the M32 🤘🏻
