X32 One Console, One Sound Tech, House and Stream Mix | Complete Setup 

*** NOTE *** Please make sure you save your scene on the console BEFORE you update firmware. Your current settings per channel will be cleared. You can reload your scene after update, but make sure to save your scene before updating.

Thanks for all the work you do on your videos. They have really helped enhance our live stream audio quality.

Another great video. Thanks! Good take on setting the room space for the stream mix with a verb/verb + delay combo. I like it!

Hey Dave, thanks again for this in depth video. Again, this was exactly what I needed for church. You got the heart of the teacher man.

Great job Dave, appreciate the information and quality detail.

This is the only tutorial that actually gave me the info I needed! 10/10 great job!

Incredibly helpful! Testing it out tomorrow!

Glad I found your channel. Feel like I learned a semester's worth of material!

Another well done video. Thank you for taking the time to lay this out!!! That song sounds fantastic as well! would love to hear all of it!!!

Thanks for your patience and explanation. This will help for my XR18 Thanks alot

Thank you for spending the time to teach this. It is invaluable.

i watches this video more than 10 times. Everytime i learned smthing new. This video is so compact of lot of tricks hand tipps. Thanks again ang again!!!

DUDE.... YESS!! Ty so much for this in-depth tutorial! I am in the process of bringing together my X32 rack mount and ATEM Mini; this totally gives me some direction. Currently running X32 audio out of Aux 6 into the ATEM, , but I have Ableton live on another computer (coming into X32) and would prefer to run everything off 1 computer. Can’t wait to work on it tmrw. Cheers!

This was an EPIC tutorial @AllamHouse. Thank you a gazillion times.

So so many thank bro ! it still working ! wish you so much happy in life

Dude, your videos have really, REALLY helped us to up our game. Our livestream has been sounding better and better. We're just playing around and tweaking settings, fine-tuning for our set up. Thank you so much.

A year later appreciating the knowledge thank you sir

This is the best turorial about x32 set up for live streaming. Thank you very much from Indonesia. God bless u...

Very good video. Thank you for doing it. Super helpful to novice engineers and “de facto sound guys” like myself.

Great explanation.

Very detailed! Thank you so much.

Thank you so much!!

Every part of this video was useful. Thank you so much for making these videos, they have been very helpful

Great Video! Thank you!

This tutorial was the missing link to my church livestream mix. Implemented in service today with the exact same settings and the outcome is on point. Thanks a lot

All I can say is...WOW!!! That video was exactly what I've been searching for. Thank you sooooo much. I was already using a MixBus to send out to our ATEM Mini Pro, but you helped so much with how I can EQ and set limiters on my external recording mix. Thanks again, and God bless!!

Great video! This completely changed my stream mix. We use Switcher studio for our video stream, between this mix setup and being able to connect the x32 directly to the iPad via a USB-B to lightning cable its made a night and day difference. Thanks!!

This is the by faaarr best Tutorial i ve seen in YT yet. Well organized well explained!!! Thanks a LOTTTTTTT!!!!

Thank you for the detailed tutorial. I learned so much from this. We recently started a live stream and I’ve been struggling mixing front of house and stream. I plan to put this to use and hopefully increase the quality of our production.

Dave thank you so much for all of your videos and especially for this one. I e been trying to clean up my live stream for our church. I’ve always been a strong advocate for streaming pre fade in an effort to have more control over the stream. But I really listened to this video and I’ll tell you I’m doing less work with just getting a good mix and making small adjustments to the house and allowing the stream mix to follow that. Blessings to you my friend and Happy New Year.

Superb.

thank you very much for this

Hey Allam, thanks for your video, they are really helpful. God bless you!

Pierwszy film szkoleniowy, który krok po kroku wytłumaczył mi jak ustawić parametry pod "live stream". Bardzo dziękuję. Świetna robota 👍

Thxs for all the information, learned a lot of the effects for the stream.

This is such a great explanation of the FX. Thank you!

Hi Dave, we were just trying to figure out stereo bus on the X32. Thanks!

Huge help - thank you

Thank you so much, was having problems with making the bass guitar and live mix present. This will help much.

Thanks for the video. I’m definitely going to have to try the limiter.

Loved it! Super helpful!

Sir you're a Hero, thanks so much for that, I'll see all your videos.

istimewa sekali mas, tutorial yang sangat membantu

Thx!!! super useful Greetings from Ecuador

What a blessing. I'm trying to set up a scene from scratch for the first time after using a pre-set scene for several years. It is so different managing a system, while still understanding it, versus doing it all yourself from the ground up. You have been instrumental in helping me accomplish a years long goal. Thank you!

Everything was helpful. Thank much !

Thank you so much for this...

Dave, Superlative content and production. I set up the X32 according to your videos. Everything works now. I can't thank you enough for your efforts.

What part did I like best?… All of it!!! Most helpful. Thank you so much. The Lord bless you indeed!

Very well done!

The whole video was so helpful for my church thank you very much God bless you

I watched a lot of tutorials with this Board and pretty much understand but in this presentation you simply THE BEST! The way when you do "QUICK RECAP" where you review what you did is GENIUS! I can say even someone who is new in this field will understand and can follow through your teachings.

Am just gonna start using one of these mixer so this was very helpful

Love the song

Well explained, exactly what i needed. Thank you very much

You have no idea how much you have helped me. I watched about 12 of your videos. I can’t lie my brain is fried. My church is finally making the transition to a digital board. I’m the one that handles the live streams. So I’m pretty much the only engineer. Thank you so much for taking your time to make these videos. God bless you abundantly.

Thank you so much. We have an X32 compact and are struggling to get a good live stream mix for the very reason you mentioned. We have one engineer trying to mix FOH and Live Stream. Since the focus is on the house, the live stream is struggling. This video is very helpful!

Thanks so much--this is very helpful! We just got an X32, and it's sitting in my living room while I set it up as much as I can before installing in my church tomorrow. I'm following your settings here for getting the livestream mix. The panning part was especially useful, as we have a single line array that's not in stereo, so from your video I learned how to pan everything for the livestream mix independently of the house. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Had always wondered how to just have the stream through the headphones to monitor. Looks like got alot of setting up to do because noticed was quiet but the limiter setting has probably answered my question.. God bless and thank you for your video again

Thanks very much your tutorial was very helpful

This was VERY helpful, thank you

Fantastic tutorial, many thanks for making it so clear to us :)

This was AWESOME... I am tech director at a a small church that is dealing with just this problem! We consulted with a larger church in our area and were encouraged to look into the X32 and a Dante card to run a separate mix. What I like about your video is that it does a good dive into what an X32 can do if you know what you're doing. Gives us much to consider (and keep researching). Thanks!!

owasome brother...thankx a lot...

Great tutorial. Very specific. THX

YES!!!! This is such an informative video!! Whoever set up our stream mix just put an output from the monitor jack to the stream system which just reflects what the house is doing. The broadcast is inconsistent and sometimes they turn the house up too loud which blows the stream out. Terrible! Someone mentioned there should be a way to make a separate mix for the stream.....and so I'm here! Now I can't wait to go mess with the board! (I'm not the sound person, I'm just the one who takes the time to figure this stuff out and learn what I'm doing lol)

Thx Allam, God bless

Very helpful! Thanks a lot!

thank you so much.

Hey, thanks for this amazing and helpful video! I would have loved to not only see the changes you made but also hear it or a “before and after” comparison, so that we can have a clearer imagination. Nevertheless this video is the answer to some problems I’m facing! Thx a lot. Much love from Germany🙏🏾🖤

I settled for a mono mix for my live stream thinking I cannot pan the instruments to the mix busses. Thank you!

Thank You AGAIN !! I don't mean to be a nag. But now you gave me pretty much all I have questions for. I know I'll be watching it over and over again to catch some things I might have missed. But Yes. It does answer what I need.

Was able to start messing around with this setup today after service.

Thanks, glad I found this. Btw, “Dana” led me to this link. Cheers!

Thanks..

When and how to put the limiter was exactly what I was searching for all the afternoon. Big thanks and greetings from switzerland

good job, allam. i've learned a lot with this video. thank \o/

yo bro thx so!

thanks alot great advice keep it coming

toma tu like, si me funciono, gracias!

Good video. Didn't have time to watch the whole thing so you may have suggested this but may i suggest that instead of using a mix buss to you web stream, to use busses to matrix. Use your busses for grouping instruments, and then send those to matrices to your outputs. Use 1 stereo pair for you house and another pair for your web stream so that way you maximize your busses. Then mix off your dca's so that when you make your mix level changes on your dca, you are making relational changes to all you mixes in one shot. This also frees up your stereo buss as another "matrix". I do this in all my mixing, but especially in my corporate events. May have to send a web stream, a house mix, a center fill, delays, record feed. By using good gain structure and good room tuning, you'll be able to get balance mixes to all points very quickly. Happy mixing.

Great video! Just a thought, since you're using that limiter on your live stream mix, try setting the bus compressor to 1 1/2 to 1 with 100 ms attack time and threshold set to pull 6db at Max. It will smooth out what gets sent to the limiter and make your mix even fuller.

Thank you for your video. We will try to implement it. I have been looking for this kind of video because in our streaming video to FB and RU-vid we can NOT hear the effects we give to the singers. We do not have a band in our church so our music is very simple. We only want to hear the effects on singer's mic we put on the house mix to our streaming mix. We use Bus 7 but it is not stereo therefore I learned from this video. I learned a lot of things from your videos. I am trying to watch them all because your explanations are simple.

Great tutorial! I Just wanted to note that my x32 is on version 3.12 and I was still able to do all of this.

great video. another way is to buy an inexpensive stereo audio interface. Behringer makes one for around a hundred bucks. Send your aux outs to it then usb, either straight to your streaming computer or switcher. Also has a zero latency headphone out so you can have a set of cans plug into it and monitor it that way.

You talk like if you designed the console, you understand and use every single detail of it!!

wow

Dave, God has truly blessed me to find out about your channel! This is just what I needed. I've gained more from you than I have the last 6 years in school. I just graduated last April with a BS in Digital Audio Technology but no one taught us Live Sound. Do you have any tutorials for getting the best sound in house from the Pastors mic. I use a DPA headset with IEM. And Sennheiser wireless transmitter and reciever. When he sings there is so much distortion

Great video! At 29:10 you mention the need to be careful not to accidentally touch the mix bus faders for your stream. This is especially important in order to avoid clipping the stream, since the limiter is inserted pre-fader. It would be nice to insert the limiter post-fader (so if you raise the fader, it just pushes into the limiter, instead of raising post-limiter and clipping your stream) but unfortunately I don't think that's possible; it seems like the only choices for insert position are pre-EQ and post-EQ, not post-fader -- and of course you'll almost certainly want post-EQ. The only 2 workarounds I know of are: 1. Change the output tap to pre-fader instead of the typical post-fader tap. That way, you know that the limiter (or compressor @ 100:1, if you want to avoid using up an FX slot) is absolutely the last thing before the physical output, and therefore you'll never accidentally clip the stream since there's no fader to accidentally push. 2. Run the fader at +10 instead of unity, again so that there's no chance of accidentally pushing it up. In this case, adjust the output gain of the limiter by -10 to compensate (to -11dB in your case). If using the compressor as a limiter, unfortunately the output gain doesn't go below zero, so set the threshold 10dB lower to compensate (and then adjust all channel sends by -10 as well, which makes them harder to use given the log scale). The only benefit over option 1 is if you want to "fade out" your stream using this fader; otherwise it's kind of pointless. But it would be super cool to make use of the fader in a pre-insert (or pre-compressor) manner, so that you can ride it as the program levels vary! Any ideas? An assignable knob (or MIDI controller) could be used to ride the input gain of the limiter, if it doesn't inflict zipper noise, but adjusting into the mastering compressor would be even better.

You sound and remind me like Dallas Jenkins, creator and director of The Chosen series!

Great tutorial as always! How would I go about routing just the MixBus I am using for livestream to the USB card? I have look at a lot of videos but still have not been able to figure it out. Thanks for the Fxs answer you gave me. Thanks to you I was able to fix it.

Great Video! Will you please do a supplemental video showing us your OBS settings?

Very helpful- the matrixes on these boards are really flexible…….. i was curious about external inserts or even an external chain prior to stream- say a 500 series rack with a couple of modules- in some of the earlier digital boards we would take the headphone mix off the board and feed it into a headphone amp- or switcher for distribution to secondary monitor sets - today that could even be a analogue stereo out put for stream

Thanks so much for sharing this, it’s really a great blessing to us. When we use the effect 1 & 2 for room reverb & delay +chamber on the exclusively for live-streaming . What effect would you recommend we use for the FOH? I can’t find similar effects on other effect rack - we are using x32 compact. Thanks 😊

You have been greatly helpful, I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. I have a question: so, as we moved into a hybrid reality for Bible study, we just purchased a shure cvo overhead, so that people can hear in house discussion. Now, it’s gotten a little feedback-y because of gain. As we don’t really use the overhead for worship, is there a way to send it only to the bus mix and not master FOH? Or, do you have any suggestions for eq-omg overheads for auditorium/sanctuary? Thanks!

I put most of these tips into place on our M32R for services today and got lots of compliments. The FX in the livestream were exactly what we were missing. Thank you! In fact, I got so excited about getting the FX right that I have missed setting up the most important part: setting up the mixbus to post-fader! For now, I'm pretty sure the mixbus is still set at Sub Group. When the full band is going, the mixbus is loud and getting pretty deep into the orange on the meters. However, when it's just the pastor, I barely get two bars of green. Therefore, I need to adjust the mixbus fader during that transition from worship music to message and then again from message to closing music. Will this fix itself once I get it set to post fader? Will adding the limiter possibly help with this? I would rather not have to make this adjustment, but if I need to I will assign it to a DCA.

Hi @AllamHouse. I love the video. However, it seems that I cannot make the first two effects not affect the room mix. I unchecked the stereo bus button as shown at min 19:45, but I still can hear them in the room. Any ideas what might be the problem? Thank you

Watched your videos a million times adjusting and tweaking my mix. My question is where can I watch a live stream from your church to compare my live stream?

Thanks so much for the live stream info works great. My current issue we have a vocalist which accentuates plosives a lot. I cannot find the right frequency to cut. Any Ideas?

Thank you so much this video was exactly what I was looking for. I have a question how do I route the live stream mix bus to my live streaming software (OBS) using the USB on back of the console?
