X32 Discussion

Re: X32 Discussion

When troubleshooting WIFI problems, and making radio-specific adjustments, remember that the X32 itself has nothing to do with WIFI. The X32 has ethernet connections that you connect to an ethernet switch. Your switch may be in a router which also has WIFI on it, but your X32 still has nothing to do with the WIFI.

I just point this out because many of the suggestions are general WIFI recommendations, and apply whether you have an X32 on your network or not.
 
Re: Ipad wireless connection

I originally had the WRT54g, and could not maintain a stable connection. I purchased a Cisco 2500 in September and the connect hasn't dropped once.
 
Re: Ipad wireless connection

I'm currently testing my newly aquired huawei cpe-b593 4g-router and so far had no issues in a controlled environment.

I will add some line6 wireless stuff to the equation to see if things go bad. Since it's no 5GHz router I have the ability to join my airport express to the same network.

The router also have some nice statistics page where you can see if your wifi sucks in your environment.

2.01 is online in the app store.

They ignored my helpful suggestion to move the GEQ frequency ID's above the sliders and with the gain readouts.:(~:-(~:sad:

Hmmmm, and I just went to try it out with a console to see if the dynamics meters in the master section are working, and can't get either the 1st Gen or mini iPads to connect to console. They are showing a connection to my router, but won't connect with the console. Hmmmmm....

And I need to stop working on this now, but will try again later.

For those who haven't yet updated to 2.01, make sure your rig is working first, then update, and then see if it's still working. Maybe?
 
Tips and tricks

Here's a quick tip for you.

If you press and hold the utility button during boot it will automaticly perform an 'initialize console'.

This is great if you ever need to power up the console in a known and safe state.

Trying other configurations may overwrite some or all of your scenes so do a backup before doing your own tests...

Had a quick play with Xi Control 2.0 offline on iPad 1. Looks really impressive but I managed to crash it twice quite quickly. Obviously this sort of post is not helpful to the developers but I was unable to repeat it. Anyone else had any issues?

Have you rebooted your iPad lately by turning it off then back on? It used to be a pretty routine requirement in earlier iOS versions when installing some apps - it hasn't been nearly as significant since about iOS 4 - but it can't hurt.
 
Re: Ipad wireless connection

If you're not using bluetooth on your iDevice then turn it off. Bluetooth will degrade the wifi signal quality and is mostly noted in situations with otherwise degraded wifi quality. Think two transievers within centimeters/inches.

People also tend to forget all that other 2.4GHz wireless stuff that may be in the same or next room like speakers, video feeds comm-radios, remote controllers,...... If 5GHz works but not 2.4GHz then you or your neighbour have some transmitters doing their dirty deeds.

Carefull frequency planning is essential not only with wireless mics but also with wifi. Most people just tend to go with the default settings.

That's like saying "the only feature missing in our car is the engine". I never heard of anything more absurd than a digital mixer without moving faders, and because of that I have never ever even looked at a Presonus console.

It was certainly the only reason I never bought one and decided to wait for the X32. I see how people can live without, but to me the main attraction with going digital is recall, and recall without moving faders is a major PITA, and while the Presonus resetting system might work in a studio, using it live would to me be absolutely absurd. I believe a SL24 with flying faders and a couple of other upgrades would be quite successfull.

I'd say it's a workflow thing.

I would compare it to a car where you have a manual (studiolive) or automatic transmission (all the others).

Reseting the faders becomes second nature after a while - Just like with a manual stick shift.

However, on the studiolive I prefer to have the faders and pots non-recallable and instead quickly set them at their expected level.
 
New presonus console

View attachment 5766

Here is the new presonus console they will show at namm. Still no flying faders, recallable mix pres, no snake... Just more of old technologie.
Why would anyone spent 4000 dollars on a manual 32 channel 4 bus console?!?! Shaking my head...

Looks like it got 14 auxes + the 4 fx.

I wonder what they will use all that extra processing power for? It can't be for the fx?,

Not really. Half of what the Presonus is built around is digital, using (very basic) recall. You are expected to accurately guess each fader's position, based on a few LEDs - a method that is more axe than scalpel.

If each fader had positional notches, then maybe the idea would work - you would be just as likely to be able to match position that way.

In the end, they have the workings of a basic analog mixer, with a few digital processing units under the hood. And to tell the truth, it really doesn't do either as good as it should.
