[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 73705, member: 1285"] Re: So I'm Going To Mix My First Live Band This Weekend With The X32 & I'm Looking Fo I think one of the reasons why you don't get a lot of suggestions here is because what you are proposing to do is so straightforward that hardly anything is needed to be done. When you power up, you have your basic effects there, room, hall, delay and chorus good to go, just set up the sends from the vocal channels and you're done. Now, assign analog out 1,2,3 to bus 1,2,3 and your monitors are nearly set. If you really insist on the geq there are two ways depending on whether you'll be needing guitar amp inserts for the guitars and bass. First, assuming you won't need the inserts for anything else, I will suggest you use fx5L dual geq for monitor 1, fx6L dual geq for monitor 2 and fx7L dual geq for monitor 3 (you can then stay on page1 of the fx screens for all three monitors) and use fx8 stereo geq for the mains. Now, if you'll be needing some inserts for guitar and bass, you don't want to be so wastefull with the available effect slots, and will have to dive deeper into the screens for adjustment to one of the monitors. I like to put a soft knee limiter on top of the monitors, just to take the edge off any sudden feedback (ratio 100, knee 3,4 or 5, treshold so you just get a very slight hint of compression on the meter in normal operation) To keep things simple and avoiding page-swapping, assign three DCAs to the monitors and four to the fx-returns. DCA1 - fx1l, fx1r DCA2 - fx2l, fx2r etc. DCA6 - mon1(bus1), DCA7 - mon2, DCA8 - mon3 Route everything to the top 16 channels (you'll likely be plugging PC into aux5&6, but route it to channel 15&16) Make clear labels for all channels, buses and DCAs that are in use, (I prefer to ditch the graphics in most instances and just go with naming and colors) [/QUOTE]
