[QUOTE="Rob Dellwood, post: 65984, member: 498"] re: X32 Discussion I finally got to use my X32 for the first time last night at a corporate gig that a band I work with played for. I normally mix this band on their PA and analog soundboard, so I have a baseline to compare with. This time, the same setup but I used my X32. I'm happy to say that I was very pleased that the board passed the gig test with flying colors. I could definitely hear an improvement in the sound. The X32 just sounded 'good'. The band also noticed and was happy with the sound. The effects sounded good, and it was nice to be able to use the sends-on-faders function to set up the monitor mixes. The vocals really stood out for me as far as a noticeable improvement. This band has varied intruments including acoustic guitar, mandolin, keys, guitars, etc., and the instruments sounded better to me also. Since I was able to setup a nice FOH location for the mixer, I also used the headphones delay feature, so I could hear the soloed mix/channels in the phones at the same time the stage sound arrived at the board. Very nice indeed. The one thing I'm not sure about is that the headphone max volume level seems a little low to me, even when I had the gain control set higher and the surface volume control turned up. This is my first digital board, so not sure if this is normal or not. All in all, a very successful first outing with my X32, and I'm happy that the board more than lived up to my expectations. I have a tablet and XControl as well, but did not use it at this show. Looking forward to trying that out too at a future show. I really wish I had the S16 stage box/digital snake to replace the long analog snake I had to run to FOH. I have one of those on order, so can't wait for it to arrive. [/QUOTE]
