Re: X32 Live recording
Why's that, i'm not out here complaining that my X32 needs to be fixed only after about 20 shows of using it and the faders are failing and all the mute buttons in the mute group needs to be replaced..
No i'm not complaining...

Re: Recording with x32
Joe, I read the MCU layout, but how is the layout on Behringer's BCF2000 ?
Maybe we get an update / layout for the BCF2000 ?
Thank you and best regards

Re: Recording with x32
Is there a possibility to transfer / synchronise the preset library to X32-Edit? At this moment the library on my PC is different than on my X32. It's also not possible to sort the library isn't?

Re: X32-Edit and 15" touchscreen
On windows (7 & touchscreen 8) I have the task bar on the side to overcome this.
To repeat my earlier posts re x-control now x-edit - a resizeabe screen and the ability to select different "views" would make this a much more versatile tool especially for the core and rack.

Has someone read this or was it missed because it was enabled more that 24h later?

Re: Recording with x32
I'm trying out the v 1.2 X32-Edit...Mac 10.6.8 - and a X32.
The BCF2000 bank / channel scrolls are not reflected in the X32-Edit app, and vice versa
maybe I'm doing something wrong ?
Would be nice to have a pref setting for the midi feedback - from / to - the BCF2000 ( or MCU ) so the X32-Edit app can do one thing ( be a big touchscreen ) and the BCF2000 can handle the mixing of different channels ( VCAs ? )
( thinking the 'core' way )

X32 Rack
Looks like we are getting close to the end of the wait, Thomann has availability at the end of next week, so hopefully I will have mine shipped next Friday and be ready for fun the next week.
~:-D~:grin:
That is of course too late for the start of season performance on Saturday 21st where the Rack would have been perfect since it is one of those events where setting up a FOH is really impractical as there is no way to run a flimsy CAT-cable safely without an ample supply of cable protectors
Edit: So now I have to go out and get some more microphones so I can run 64 channels at the X-mas show :twisted:

Re: X32 Live recording
because board recordings tell very little about specifically the mixer and most of the posts look like spam. Soundcloud and youtube are wonderful platforms for sharing music, but failures after 20 gigs are more interesting given the purpose of this forum.
Alternatively, lets all post every recording we've made. I'm sure these forums will be useful after that:roll:

Re: X32 Live recording
Go right ahead, you can do it all in one post so we don't get pages upon pages of the stuff.
But is it really that hard to skip a post you are not interested in, are you compulsively bound to read every message and click every link?

Re: X32 Rack
That sounds about right. The nordic distributor said they expected them before the end of this month. I assume our racks are on the same cargo ship...Looks like we are getting close to the end of the wait, Thomann has availability at the end of next week, so hopefully I will have mine shipped next Friday and be ready for fun the next week.
Re: Recording with x32
presume I can get to v1.15 from the above link
Hi probably been answered but can I update to v1.15 on the x32 without updating the xuf card and the xuf drivers on the pc ? I use usb for recording and up to now pretty Stable.
presume I can get to v1.15 from the above link
Re: strange or not strange!
- Record your band during the next gig, making sure that the gain structure is consistent (gain will influence the level of recording, and the mix playback - not going into details here), so that you have decent level of recording on Tracktion.
Keep an eye on the monitored levels (on Tracktion PC screen armed tracks) during sound check before the gig so that your inputs are balanced and not clipping. Apply gain +/- if the recording level is too low/too high. This is the only channel setting that will influence the recording. Apply THEN any X32 processing/fading/bussing (that will NOT be recorded) for the venue mix.
- if you change the gain during the recording, the recording level WILL be changing. If you mute the channel, it will mute the recording (if I remember well but not 100% sure). Any other setting (including faders, eq, comp, gate, effects, etc...) will be only for the audience and not applied to the recording.
- remember to save settings and scenes on the X32.
- if you replay the recording through the same channels and channels settings (once switching the inputs from analog to card/pc input) you should have a consistent output.
Then you would be ready to go for virtual sound check. Anyway virtual soundcheck, I discovered, is an illusion, applicable only to large venues (or open air where the stage if far away) or to music genres that have very low direct sound pressure from stage on the audience.
Once you add the direct stage to audience (and stage to mixing position) sound, the sound from the wedges, your nice virtual sound check would be to be recalibrated anyway. At least this is my experience in pretty much any smaller/mid size venue.
On paper there's no difference. 400Mbps USB 2 vs. 400 Mbps FW. In reality you can find on several sources that USB relies much more on cpu cycles for low level I/O operations, while FW delegates to the chipset. So it's a matter of sustained operation. The PC has to read up to 32 channels bit streams, manage I/O and write the files to disk (ongoing for some hours).
If you have a recent PC, it shouldn't be a problem for the CPU. If your PC is older, using FW will free up some cpu cycles. I would suggest that you run tests with the expected number of channels to be tracked and verify on field or rehersal if the sustained recording is ok or if you have glitches. I would suggest that you listen then to the recording carefully to find any bad spots (yes, time consuming).
I can't help with ASIO settings, sorry.
cheers

Re: Recording with x32
Dear Nick,
You can update to 1.15 without updating your XUF card / drivers. The update is not at the link above. This direct link to the download just worked for me: http://www.behringerdownload.de/X32/X32_Firmware_1.15.zip
Hope it helps!

Re: Core
If I'd known this before I would have bought the bcf/bcr a long time ago...
Interesting enough there is no mention about mackie compatibility on the product page either.

Re: X32 Rack
Hi Per,
If you've already discussed this I missed it, but how are you going to do 64 channels, to how many outputs?
Thx,
Dan

Re: X32 Live recording
another good job Randy... My recording mixes don't sound very good for some reason. It sounds great in the room, but the recordings to the stick are all out of whack... the room probably has a lot to do with it. If I were to mix to headphones or to studio monitors, it might turn out a little different, but we have apretty wild room...
Ok Here's a recording done over the labor day weekend from a band called Streamline really good acoustic band..
Hope ya like..

Re: X32 Live recording
Hello
I have had the same problem - and me thinks it is because of the loudness of the band - in USB-stick recording vocals are too loud, drums and guitars are too quiet, bass is about right - so I thought, that putting a pair of boundary mics on the floor - one on both sides of drums well in front of amps somewhere no-one steps on them - and then mix it into pa-signal perhaps using matrix - would yield some semidescent result - anybody with experience please comment.
Time to hit the hay ...
