Midas M32C Small Band Set Up w/PA System Tune 

Got me right in the feels!!! Thanks for the kind words friend!!

It is right, this is what i do when mixing the audio, just use the channel eq to rid of the feedback

I think it makes sense in some situations particularly for a wireless presenter mic, like I think the one he used is for. Talking in front of the PA basically

I find placing like mics together in a bus and EQing/rining there, to be best, for me. This prevents any degradation of other channels such as music playback, or guitars, for example. I'd do more of the tuning of the room on the matrix end. Leave the channel EQ available for coloring/subtractive EQ taylored to each vocal/instrument. This way you spread the load, doing a little fixing here, little color there, until you have a well polished mix. Great setup man, I love seeing peoples mobile racks and how they plan it out with their logic; very well planned.

Thank you for the kind words!!

Hey Jamie, thanks for the kind words. The red clips are called Cable Clamps. www.cableclamp.com/

Hey Rick, the DL32 is just the stage box, it needs a "brain", which in my set up is the M32C. You can also use a M32R or M32 is you want a control surface with faders. The DL32 will also work with the X32 series as well if you want Midas pre's with Behringer processing. Just as an FYI, the app GUI is different between the xAir and the M32/X32 consoles. Good luck!

I don’t specifically, but that’s a great idea for a video! The best advice I can give is to put as few things in the mix as possible. Start with your vocal mics as they will give you a good majority of ambience, and add things back in from there. There is a misconception about in ears in the sense that people think there will be a lot isolation. The mix will change with the room, different performers etc. Start with only vocals in their ears and build from there. Stage volume is also a huge factor. Drummers especially tend to play louder with both ears in. If a drummer is playing too loud, ask them to pull one ear out.

Hello! This band is currently using 12 mono mixes. Anything specific that you would like me to highlight?

@@billylaguardia thanks for the info, i know so little i i dont even know what to ask. But the video you did setting up, ringing the mic and sound check was supper informative, you should do some more. You explain things very well. Thanks.

Thanks! I shot a video last weekend on tuning the system as a lot of people are commenting on it. That video will post soon.

Hi Wayne, I’m not sure if there are examples how files out in the world. However I believe you can download the M32 software for your computer to make a show file and load it onto a USB. As far as ringing out speakers, that just requires a bit of practice. My advice when you are starting is to use wide Q’s In the mid range. Start with the “nasal” frequencies centered at 1k with a -12db cut. The do the same cut around 8k. Those are both good places to start. Think about it like this: monitors are only for reference, not a super HiFi listening experience.

@@billylaguardia appreciate the reply , re the show files I was just wondering if you were selling them yourself :-) , Like some x32 RU-vid channels sell presets etc , i just think you have covered a very specific area of the market with the m32c and dl32 in your videos , an area that people may Patreon pay for etc as everyone doesn’t have the time these days , thanks again for the excellent videos anyway

Those are Pelican 1650 cases. LM Cases did the foam fabrication. You can email Ed Davis at LM, he will take care of you: edavis@lmcases.com

Thanks! Nope, no POE on that model.

Everything was in the room before the video started, so load in was already done. Also by the end of the video no instruments were set up, and no soundcheck. Man had a way to go before showtime.

@@jackrussellbruce7565 I like the lights and cables !!!

Hi Michael, I made the foam inserts for the Pelican 1650 case. Check out LM Cases.

@@billylaguardia hey thanks, also happy new year...and stay safe...

I know this is an old video so you might not see this but I was curious about your trays as well. Did you just polyethylene foam and cut it out and add some kind of plastic on the bottom and then add handles?

The subs in the video were mono. Single XLR out with the subs linked.

Its an Otterbox

What’s the instruments are in the band?

@@billylaguardia two guitars, bass, drums & two vocals

I’d go with 2 - 12’s and a sub. That set up will be fine for most indoor spaces. You don’t really need a ton of PA as long as the band’s stage volume is low. The trick will be sub placement. A single sub should be placed in the center if applicable. If you aren’t on a stage you may need to make some game time decisions. You need to use your kick mic’s polar patter to your advantage or you will get feedback.

Haha!!! Thanks for the laugh Sean! It’s a Pelican 1650. LM Cases did the insert. You can email Ed Davis at LM if you have any questions: edavis@lmcases.com

1650. LM Cases made the foam inserts.

I think you patch it to wherever your matrix left right is. Coz hes using matrixies

Personal preference. I start with the main mix buss and work backwards from there to the individual channel level. I think of the mix buss EQ as room correction with the matrix EQ as a global tone for the mix with respect to the room and the band.The channel EQ is there for mostly for problem solving.

Yes. I mix the show in mono and I only have one available output left on the DL32.

@@billylaguardia why mono though? I mix in stereo. My own rig is dual mono/ stereo. My mixer is PreSonus 32R.

@@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup live mixes are generally mono. The first goal of a live PA deployment is coverage: “can everybody in the room hear everything”. If you pan too much in a live mix, one side of room is hearing a different mix than the other. That being said, my outputs are stereo from the console. Break music and FX are stereo.

They are Pelican 1650 cases with custom foam interiors by LM Cases.

​@@billylaguardia I was thinking about the cable case on the floor. But I think I found them, SKB DH3315W, does that sound right?

@@petterrong1590 they are SKB. Not sure on the model #

16 busses on the M32c. I run 12 auxes for ears with 4 FX banks. There are 8 "aux" input channels shown on the C, which is a little weird. Not sure what you would use these for on the C other than maybe "card" inputs. On the M32 control surfaces these are for the 1/4" jacks. On the control surface you could use them for your break music iPod or as hardware ins/outs as an example.

@@billylaguardia ah, this is the difference between 16 aux 'busses' and 8 aux 'channels'. I had assumed (since that's how everyone lese describes it) that the channels were outputs, not inputs.

18"

On the job experience. I have a marketing degree 🤣🤣

In that particular configuration, I only had 4 physical XLR outputs. L, R, Sub, and a video feed. I mix my show in mono. The only things in stereo are the FX and the break music iPod.

The big and bad console per your request! 😬 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bo7iH7CPfaQ.html
