XR18/MR18 Virtual Soundcheck from scratch. Mixing "I'm coming home" by "Alan Evans Trio" 

There is no right or wrong way. Really depends on the gate. If it works it works.

@@BuiltRiteTrans if you want less punch, then yes by all means use more attack on a gate. in most cases if you want punchy drums, you need more of the transient - less of attack.

Good luck it is a nice mixer with a lot of functions!

@@thomasziegler2303 I liked it so well, when I found a Midas M32R, I bought it used, and bought a 16 ch stage box to go with it since the X-Air is not expandable. Now selling my Analog mixers.

Yes that is true. Also the room has an effect on the sound especially on drums.

The fader of the effect send/return does not have any impact because the Combinator is inserted.

Yes the Overheads are two channels.

Yes this is possible with the Behringer XR18.

I have used sidechain to better control the gate. In my case each channel is side chained to itself. The side chain is set to a frequency where the specific instrument has the most energy. Now the gate only listens to the side chain and opens or closes depending on the set frequency. To my feeling this gives better control on the gate compared to the gate listening to all the stuff of this channel. This technique only makes sense on instruments that only have a limited freqency range. Drums are perfect because it is constant frequency spectrum. I hohe this explaination helps.

@@thomasziegler2303 thanks, that helped alot, i will tested that on next time on my drums, i will subscribe your channel also!

Good idea. The link is now in the video description.

@@thomasziegler2303 Thank you so much

Sure you can download for free. Search for cambridge mt. There are a lot of free multitracks including this one.

@@thomasziegler2303 okay thanks

To avoid bleed from the other drum microphones. I think it will give a more clear sound.

@@thomasziegler2303 Ok, but they cut off the sound of the drum so much. I'm afraid the drummer would not like that.

@@Gauseltown If you set them correctly you will not notice a cutoff.

That is a problem of my recording setup. Something was wrong in the routing to the PC. In the headphone I could hear the solo. In the next video I will try to fix that.

@@thomasziegler2303 Ah right , thanks man!

@@thomasziegler2303 This is AWESOME! For this issue, try going to Routing (In/Out) and then the Main Out tab. Assuming you are recording the Main output, remove any routing assignment for Main L/R and instead, route Monitor to both Main and Phones. The Solo buttons should then work in headphones and in the Main output. I don't think there are any problems with doing this in this sort of application. For a live show... might be iffy having those Solo buttons floating around. Idk... let me know if I'm getting this totally wrong. Or if anyone likes to have access to Solo buttons while doing a show.
