[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 214761, member: 32"] The offline software is the X32 EDIT, and can be found here: [URL]https://www.behringer.com/downloads.html[/URL] Select your Product -> Software, and then it's available for your OS of choice. A note: All versions of the X32 use the same software, so even though your rack only has 16x8 XLR I/O plus Aux I/O, the software will show all 32 inputs + 6 aux inputs. The fun part about this is that you can double patch some inputs for creativity. For example, I would create stereo acoustic guitars from one input - in the software, select a physical input to be assigned to two channels (a virtual "double patching" or "Virtual Y-cable"), delay one channel a hair, pan each left and right. Voila - instant "stereo". You can do similar things with creating fun vocal FX channels and other creative things. NOTE: If you purchased the mixer new, it should have the most recent version of Firmware on it (4.04.1). BUT - that firmware is new as of 11/27/20, so if you got it used or right around that time it may not. The current firmware is also available at the above link (Product -> Software -> Firmware) ***MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE THE FIRMWARE ON THE MIXER ITSELF FIRST!*** before loading any new scenes from your computer or USB stick. Yes, unfortunately the Software and Firmware versions do not match. This is a grumble/complaint, we just live with it. When you connect the computer to the mixer, in the "Setup" menu, there is a "Sync Direction" checkbox in the software to sync 'PC -> Mixer' or 'Mixer -> PC'. If your PC has all the settings you wrote, you want PC -> Mixer. And yes, you are correct on the cabling/adapters required for the PSM300 rigs. A word to the wise: The PSM300 can handle a +22 dBu input level (max) and the X32 Rack puts out +21 dBu on the XLR but only +16 dBu on the 1/4" TRS, so there may be a gain mismatch on the PSM transmitters to get the levels where you want them to be. Also, the PSM300 uses a 19kHz Pilot Tone. On every Mix Bus that is using the PSM wireless, I'd use the PEQ high band to do a very narrow EQ cut in the 16kHz-18kHz range to protect this pilot tone. I've had it happen with mixes with a lot of cymbals, click track, or other HF artifacts, but bleeding in to the range of the pilot tone can compromise your stereo image and cause the mix to "collapse" a bit.
