Use the Behringer X32 Show Control for Christmas! 

You're welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

for the theater, during plays I use page numbers.

This could be an issue with the cable(s) you are using to get audio to your computer for streaming or the input settings on the computer. Make sure the cable is a stereo cable and that you have it routed out of 2 outputs on the X32. I have been running the X32 since April of 2014 at our church and we have just about maxed it out (we would have already if we didn't use an XR18 for our drum mics and send just a left and right out to our X32) and are about to upgrade to the Wing very soon.

Make sure your routing for this summed channel has the Signal Tap set to Pre Fader. Any option that has + Mute and Post Fader will both be muted to the P-16 when the channel is muted.

thx@@DCarter2010 , but that is the case, so there must be something else wrong, i have noticed that all of the mix busses are muted when the channels are muted whilst the channels them selves remain working on the p16, muted or unmuted?

limited experience or not following rudiments?

I find my guys do this a lot and to compensate the main DCA's tend to hover around -10. The main reason is inexperience in using a gain structure correctly. The other reason it happens is something a habit I call "Pre-amp creep" where everytime a Pre-amp is adjusted it is inevitably an increase in Gain rather than decrease in the channels which are Gained too much at the Pre-

Can it be that this console doesn’t have a lot of gain on their preamps ????

@@miltonbobe6274offers up to 60dB of gain. I have some guitars which use a passive DI box and I give them +40. However, I just picked up an active DI to use for these and hopefully will only need +15 or so.

@@miltonbobe6274 The preamps max at +60db of gain. I’ve never faced an input that would need that much. Additionally, if you max out the gain on an unpopulated channel, as with many preamps, that level of increase brings in a tiny bit of noise from the preamps themselves. Again, I’ve yet to max out the available gain, so I’ve never heard that noise in a mix. At that level, with most microphones, someone farting off axis would likely clip. The phenomenon you’ve noticed is often introduced by either the inexperience of the user with gain structuring as others have mentioned, OR the fact that in many use cases for this board you’re setting gains for people that are inexperienced at giving performance level sound checks. I’m often personally in settings where I’m mic’ing folks for the first time in their lives. Even if I don’t compensate for their timid sound check when setting gains, I rarely find myself without enough headroom to cover the difference. If you were to observe my fader levels for one of those performances, 9 times out of 10, the offending faders will be the less experienced performers. The faders at unity gain or below would be controlling the level of folks who understand the purpose of a sound check well enough to prioritize it over stage anxieties. In cases like this video, I feel sure that Drew is exaggerating fader movement to the full extent to make it more obvious that those faders were raised. I’d be willing to bet that you would rarely find a fader above unity when he’s mixing live. I hope this helps. Keep in mind that the X32 is a “pro”sumer mixer. The use cases normally match the price point closely.

You can do multitrack recording on your daw and eq from there for practice

I think he has posted a video on this

It would be very cool, even if a paid option, if Drew recorded(let's say his church band) and published some files, maybe of well known songs, for people to practice mixing with. Side note, they would probably either have to be public use(older than whatever date) or a paid royalty to the copyright owner, but that could be recouped with said fee.

I was like that for years, then got into snippets five months ago and really wonder why I didn't do that sooner. panning, FX changes, tap delay changes, reverb tails, widths, etc. Lots you can do here. Tours use them because they help make the tour repeatable and take work off the mixer of forgetting things in cues. I think pros highly rely on these type of tools.

I don't do much panning on live shows. FX is pretty much the same. Except i adjust the parameters per venue. BPM values would be the only case it would make sense to me (for me). @@johnmcvicker6728

Some of us who run the same show over and over have a good use for snippets. If you run a different act/performance every time you run sound, snippets won't really be that helpful for you.
