hey guys and gals new here so thanks for any help you can give me.

Im looking to set up two S16's to mirror each other on the input side. like both snakes would be 1-16 on the input side. but i want to keep the sends separate. Reason for doing this is i want to place a s-16 on either side of the stage and no matter which side I'm I'm sitting on i can just assign the aux send real quick and i can always pluck my kick into 1 no matter which side it is on. This is for when i am only using < 17 channels but thats 95% of the time. i know i can go into each channel and rout 17 to 1 but i don't want to have to do that every time depending on which side of the stage I'm on. thanks

This is not possible on a digital snake: there is automagic addition of signals...

You will have to patch (digitally):
I assume that you daisy chain the S16s, so their inputs will be on AES50 1-32.
Assign the inputs of your X32 to e.g. AES50 A1-A32 (on the screen in your screenshot).
On the config screen of each channel you can patch the input. E.g. Channel 1 you select input A1 for the kick and for channel 2 you select input A18 (input 2 of the other S16).

I have a default scene that starts with all channels patched to "off". During band setup I write down the input number for each mic and then later I patch each channel to the corresponding input. This also allows you to use a kind of standard channel layout that you like, indepent of the input assignments.

Note: I carefully distinguish "AES50 channels" from "X32 inputs" and "X32 channels". You patch channels in groups of 8 between the first two and you can patch per one between the latter two.

There is no way to do exactly what you are asking. However, if you really wanted to make it work, you could set up the patch so that the first S16 input #1 is routed to channel 1 and the second S16 is routed to channel 2. Then link the channels. Yes, you use up 2 channels and faders, but since they are linked, they sort of can behave as one. Do this with as many of the channels as you want.
