Hi guys,does anyone know what X32 answers to the "/status" request from XControl?
Click to expand...

You could have a look here: X32 User Net • View forum - Hackers Corner to see if you find something about it, but as far as I recall, /status isn't a message that has ever been described. There are a couple of people apart from the Behringer developers that might have a better answer, Kevin Hunter and Luigi Chelli springs to mind as well as a couple of others that I can't recall the names of just now. Sigve Tjora has put up a list of some undocumented messages, but the closest I could find was /-stat/
 
Re: Pre amps

G'day again Misja,

Any setting works in general - it's just the act of making a change to it that gets it going. I have checked this, and setting it to the same value as the last reboot gets rid of it. So - every time I reboot, I get into the app, and change the value slightly, then I'm good to go. When I forget - it shits me! :-)

Bass guitar through DI settings?

I tried a cheap DI box as an experiment. Never used one before but wanted to try it out instead of micing an amp.

Anyway I cannot get any decent levels in the X32 with this DI box.

Its incredibly low volume level. Even if I crank up the gain (and that gets a little noisy).

So is there some special way to configure a DI bass for the X32?
 
Re: Bass guitar through DI settings?

Hello

I have a VAIO pcg - 21311u Laptop, (Intel Atom CPU N470 (1.83GHz) 2GB RAM) running Windows XP SP2

I run Xcontrol directly connected from the X32, I mean connecting from the console RJ45 to the laptop RJ45, via network cable
(I'm not using a router)

Putting an fixed IP to a VAIO, I can connect both devices easily.

The problem is, meanwhile the time in use pass, the Xcontrol response its progressively degenerates, Up to becoming totally unusable.

Anyone knows about this problem? any advice?

PDT:the Xcontrol is the only program running in the laptop, even no anti-virus installed..


Regards

Don't use a cheap DI that asking for trouble get a real DI a passive one .
A Radial DI are the best there 100 bucks US and the stereo one's are 150 bucks US the best DI for the money and you won't have any of those noise problems.

Re: Bass guitar through DI settings?

What DI are you using at the moment?
Make/model?

Make sure that none of the pad switches are engaged as that will seriously affect the levels.
If you're using a snake, try a different line, then try a mic in the first line to see if there are any issues with it.

I'd echo Randy's Radial recommendation. I use Radials with my setup and haven't had any problems.

I noticed the same problem (different computer, but also Atom/XP), something has changed since the early XControl/Firmware versions. I have not investigated yet, so no advice, but you're not the only one.
My initial suspicion is the firewall or antivirus, but haven't looked into it.

I will echo the "check the pad switch" advice. I have fairly cheap Whirlwind DI boxes and have had no problem of any kind. They sound clean and I do not have to use so much gain on the X32 to where the circuit noise is audible. Granted, I have heard some noise on the pre's with a couple of mics that were gain hogs, but no problem with my bass or my POD UX2 via DI Box.

Meaning, "Recording VIEW, CONFIG button, Recording trim LEFT and then RIGHT", yes?

At first, I thought you meant one page over in Junior Varsity, and thus found the "X32 Studio Users" thread, and learned something new. But not about how to reduce the gain to the USB stick recording.

Yep, I did it too... lol Thanks Shane... and Dan :D~:-D~:grin:

Mono Out?

Ok, I think I've read all of the quickstart guides, manuals, this thread, etc. that I can find on the X32, and either I just completely missed it or I haven't found a good explanation yet of the Mono Out. I never run my mains in stereo. On my mixwiz, everything is panned hard left, and I use my L main out. On my GL2400 I used my Mono Out (l+r sum) on the console. I'm still trying to grasp the correct routing option for this. I know default L R out are 15 and 16 xlr out. What is my easiest way to have a mono out? Just make sure everything (FX returns included) is panned Center and use one or the other? Or do I click the Mono button on the configuration for every channel? If so then where is my mono mix coming from and where is it routed? I know there is a M/C fader on the matrix layer, does this control the mono out?

Dear Guys,

I thought you might enjoy a new X32 video.
It is with the band Living Colour who are currently using an X32 on their World Tour.
Legendary bassist Doug Wimbish, (Living Colour, Rolling Stones, Mick Jaggar, Madonna, etc.), talks about the current tour and the X32's role on the tour.

All ways do work, you can patch your mono output to any of the xlr (or jack/trs) outputs. I have my LR patched to out 9 and 10, and pre eq at 11 and 12. So many options...

Hi Donnie,
The Mono bus on the X32 is a separate bus, so in order to use that you would need to engage the MONO send for each channel and give it level. I prefer to use this bus for "Subs on AUX" applications. As mentioned, you will need to assign MONO bus signal to an output when using this bus.

You certainly can also get a mono mix by keeping everything panned center and choosing only left or right signal.

Another way to quickly get a Mono sum of your Stereo MAIN LR mix is to send it to a single Matrix mix and route that Matrix to a XLR output. This will make sure that both Left and Right signals are summed together. To do so, select the MAIN LR channel and use the first encoder in the BUS SENDS section of the channel strip to send it to Matrix 1. By default, the send to Matrix 1 will be Post Fader, so you will still have volume control on your Master Fader.

On the "analog out" page of the ROUTING menu, assign Matrix 1 to any output. I would use a Pre-EQ tap point here since you will have volume control (Master Fader) and processing on the MAIN LR channel that is feeding the Matrix.

Hope it helps!

That's funky in some extend. But il will be sure to try that. Anyways today i used the desk again. And the sound was great. If there is something wrong with it, wich I doubt it is the firewire card..
 
Re: Pre amps

Nick Simon said:
That's one thing we need to figure out... how to get good live sound @ around 96db and not have the recording clip.. I'm sure there is a way to attenuate the mix to the stick, but this ol redneck hasn't found it yet... and I really haven't had enough time playing with it to see.. I've usually got my hands full with the actual mix on Sunday, and can't really tell what it sounds like until after the fact. I have been reserved to just record the pastor speaking for now... which comes out fine.. If I can remember to turn it on...lol

You don't have to drive the recorder from left and right, you can drive it from anywhere. Try driving it from a couple of matrixes, then you can adjust the level, as low as you like. Or do a separate record mix on a couple of busses, and you'll be completely independent of your PA level.

Re: Sticky Buttons

Kudos to Behringer warranty service center in Nevada. My x32 had a stuck button and whine on the headphone output. Total turn around time from me shipping till the x32 was returned was 7 days, i live in Denver so transit time was two days to get to Vegas. The tech called to inform me a few LEDs on the encoders had gone out that I didn't notice. Regarding the whine on the headphone output, the tech advised me to keep the screen brightness to 100% for no whine operation. I'm totally ok with that solution. All is good. I'm very happy with the service center. I like this board a lot. Mike

edit: be sure to save your x32 settings to a USB prior to sending for service, my x32 came back initialize, all my scenes gone.

Michael Glenn said:
I don't have a solution but wanted to say on my three month old X32 the second button on the Bus Sends gets stuck in the down position. I can un stick it by pulling it up between my fingers. I'm the only one who uses this board, I rarely use the Buss Sends buttons or encoders as I'm faster using Sends On Fader to accomplish the same thing. It also had a high pitch whine on the headphone outputs. Build date code is 12-9

The board is on its way to the Nevada Service center for warranty repair, $80 in shipping and insurance, at my cost. :-(.

Even though I could have just used Sends On Fader and be ok, this kind of little non working cheap stuff drives me crazy, and then have pay shipping to get it working again.

i like the board, I just hope this is it for warranty repairs.

I've owned three LS9's, never ever had a problem with iffy faders, buttons or something going wrong.

I was using a Pyle brand DI. Cost $13 with tax and delivery. Seemed solidly built with a metal case.

That is being returned and I ordered the Radial.

Hello

I found one Pyle DI-box @ Amazon for 13,35 or so...

it looked quite decent for price - there were specs also. Input impedance was 50K , which is way too low for bass guitar ( unless it has preamp built in )... Something in vincinity of 1 Megaohm would be good. That means active box - battery operated or phantom driven.

That Pyle di might be perfectly fine with keyboards, dj-mixers, computers and other active unbalanced sources.

I suppose that besides extremely low level the sound was nothing to write home about... Here in Finland we call it "phonecall from Chicago"
