[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 108556, member: 2121"] Re: X32 Discussion Bingo. You want to play your music through my desk/system? Sure, but you provide the means to play it. I mean, I don't carry guitars or drums with me. Why should I be expected to carry anything else that is part of someone else's act? If you need MP3 playback for your act, bring an MP3 player to the gig. I have DI boxes. I'll gladly hook it up on stage for someone in your band/act to operate. I am not a member of your band/act. This also solves the issue of being given three blank CDs and being told it's disk 2 track 4, etc, which has been discussed elsewhere recently. It might also transpire that someone would spy your laptop and say "just plug my stick into that and copy the track to your MP3 player". There are two ways to handle that. 1) I am not a data transfer service. That carries an extra charge. 2) No way am I going to plug an unknown data device into my show laptop. I don't know where that stick has been, nor what other data/nasties it contains. I will not risk killing the show laptop (that runs the desk, etc) for that. There are other considerations such as I might have an MP3 player, but there's no guarantee that a) there's a practical way to transfer your files to it or b) that your files will be in a compatible format. Bringing your own playback device will pretty much guarantee that your tracks will work the way you want/need them to (assuming you've rehearsed with it and not just assumed that burning your tracks as data WAV files will allow them to play back as audio....). Getting back to the X32 aspect of this, in my experience, I use the onboard USB recorder to record the show and I have a cheap MP3 player hooked up to two of the aux inputs. When you think about it, when using all 32 channels from the stage, by using two onboard channels for MP3 playback means that I'm actually using 34 channels. :)~:-)~:smile: Karl. [/QUOTE]
