[QUOTE="Andrew Prince, post: 56581, member: 1808"] re: X32 Discussion It's easy to do that with Behringer, but looking at some other posts from Uli and his team, he seems to have the right idea. I really hope that Behringer can improve their products like they say in their posts because that's good for the entire industry. It's fine to sell budget digital consoles at £5K a pop, but most working bands cannot afford that. The X32 really does bridge that market, providing they pull it off. You mean by this, you don't want to continue carrying a big copper multicore around? :-) Agreed. For me it's more about running a digital setup that's easy to configure and wire up, cutting setup times for the band. Also, they get control over their own mix which could be very interesting with a band as complex as Genesis. That's exactly what I will be using it for - IEM. The band didn't use any backline originally and they had a Roland TD20 kit, so sound levels on stage weren't a problem. They switched to an accoustic drummer and a real bass player, but even then the only backline they use is a bass cab. They've always used IEM systems for foldback, even if they're just cheap headsets. Actually, I'll start with zero P16M mixers and run foldback from mix busses or auxes. Then when want more complex monitor mixes, I'll suggest they each go and buy themselves a P-16M. Some will. Others won't. :-) One of the real bonus selling points of the X32 for me is the ability to record 32 tracks into a DAW. That way I can make good quality recordings of the band for them and more importantly, I can get full control over the audio for use with my video cameras. Getting good audio is the hard part of making a video in a show environment. I have quality cameras but it's impossible to get those multitrack recordings easily, without spending thousands of pounds on MOTU interfaces are similar. Incidently, you can see plenty of video of the band on the website I created for them here: [URL="http://www.mama-genesis.co.uk"]Mama - The UKs 'all era' Genesis tribute band![/URL] Most of the videos are not password protected so they give you a good idea of my reason for looking closely at the X32. :-) Once again Christian, thanks very much for your contribution to all things X32! :-) Kind regards, Andrew.
