MacBook Pro Directly Connect To XR16/18 

Thanx so much for the "disable wi-fi" advice. Finally LAN connection can show up in the setup dialog window. Made my day !! All the best.

Thanks for this! I haven't used my XR-18 in a few years and needed a refresher. This did the job!

Thanks mate! Pulled the xr18 out the closet after years and got stuck trying wired method. You set me strait! Maybe cuz I had lappie still connected to net. Regardless... You got me running after multi hours flailing about. Cheers!

great help. thanks sir

Thumbs up because you nailed it mate

Great video. well done .

Thank you 🙏🏻

Very nice information .

No connection is a 'connection' unless the full potential is achieved. There are lots of RU-vid videos where people claimed they 'connected' the R18 with a PC or laptop. That's the half of the story. Ethernet and wifi connections are only for controlling the unit using the mixer app installed on the ipad or laptop. But they can't carry the built-in 18 USB in-out audio signals to and from the R18 during a DAW session. You need a USB connection for that.

Looks pretty good. Do you know if you can hook up a midi controller keyboard to the XR16/18 to play software instruments in your DAW?

How did you get that app on the Mac? I can seem to find it for it. I only find them for my tablet.

hello, any idea how you can play audio on your pc and it will be sent to the xr16 through the ethernet cable, then out to the speakers? Can this be done? thanks

OOOH ! or words to that effect.....

hi sir...the channel 15 and 16 input can use as AUX input ?that RCA cable on channel 15,16 u connect to the smartphone?

So its not possible to use internet at the same time than your using the XR16? Thanks and sorry for the silly question

Hi. I recently bought an Xr18, I had a hard time finding the software for my macbook. And the truth is, I can't connect the mixer with my computer. Is there a drive that needs to be installed? or if you have the download link for the mac program? grateful.

is there a way to connect a laptop to the x-air AND use the wifi on the laptop? it seems silly to have to sacrifice your wifi for a device.

What if you want to record to a daw then?

Earthernet ☺️

Good info, thanks. So mumbly though ... hard for an old rocker to hear.

Can you use it as a audio interface?

Is it same with window pc?

My ethernet port wont light up, any advice ?

Flip. If I had seen this I wouldn't have wasted 3 hours of my life. Wifi OFF!!!

Why are you just didn't connect xr18 to macbook through USB Typ-B?
