Re: Even a child can use X32
Hey guys! I'm new to the forum here. I am the lead audio tech at a church in Phoenix, Arizona called North Ridge Community Church.
Our church was wanting to switch over to digital in one of our multi-purpose rooms for the ease of saving and recalling the scenes. Also the mix position is up on a storage balcony next to the AC pluming and units, so an iPad app was a must to get down where the people are!
Anyway we had some people recommending the PreSonus or the Yamaha LS9. Decided against the PreSonus for the fact that it didn't have flying faders, so we were going the LS9 route. The day before I was going to pull the trigger on ordering the LS9, I got my hands on an X32, then found this forum. Anyway, I ended up spending the same amount for two of the Behringer X32's as I did for one LS9 (which was only going to have 24 channels!). I am excited to have the same mixer in both of our main rooms so our sound techs in one room will be familiar when moving to a different room if needed.
I am going to be making a bunch of training videos on using the X32 in a few weeks for training my staff at NRCC. I figured I would post them here for people who are on the fence about ordering one.
This video is just a quick video I shot for one of the pastors at the church showing him our Wedding/Event setup and how easy it is to switch between board setups for our different services.

Overall I love this board so far. I am amazed as to how much there is in the board.
One thing I figured out, if you wanted to play music off of the USB stick. You can take normal MP3 music into a converter program and convert to the 44.1KHz or 48KHz that you run your board and save it as a 16-bit .wav file. Load this onto the USB stick and then you can play from that in the USB recorder playback. It is not as easy as just having the X32's USB port be able to read MP3's but it is a workaround that I will end up using. That way I don't have to tote around an MP3 player for pre/post-service music.
