[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 66360, member: 158"] Re: X32 - Uli please consider the recording crowd since I just finished doing something very similar today, I think I can answer this one. Short answer is no, you can't. What you're talking about is called 'cascading' and requires that the outputs from the first console be 'mixed' with the outputs of the second desk The x32 cannot currently do this. what you CAN do is what I just did. Namely, I used inputs on my second desk to use as cascade inputs and then just simply routed those inputs to the appropriate mix out and no where else. If you wanted all 16 outputs cascaded, you'd need to burn 16 inputs to do it. That would still leave 16 inputs plus the aux ins on both desks, which is between 48 and 60 inputs depending on your needs, which isn't too shabby. In my case, i needed 48 inputs in a FOH situation (to replace an ML5000) and only needed to cascade 8 buses, so I've got 56 inputs plus auxes to play with, which suits me well. im not sure if true cascade ability is something that can be added later in firmware as it does require added mixing, but if it can be, it'd be cool. It's something Yamaha has always had and I've used it a LOT in the past to stretch smaller desks into bigger ones. [/QUOTE]
