There seems to be a bit of confusion about when I am setting the post-fader tap point later in the video, this is post-fader so that you have overall volume control of the floor monitor with the mixbus master fader. Setting this tap-point does not make your mixbus a post-fader setup, this was set when we set up our mixbusses earlier in the video. So don't skip over the part where I talk about the setup for the Mixbusses around the 01:40 mark. You definitely want your mixbus to be set up in a pre-fader configuration so that you have consistent volume for the band throughout the show.

I binged many of your X32 videos in the past few days and it saved me A LOT of pain & stress. Thank you for your tutorials, it helped tons!

WOW.... we just got one of these at church and your videos are making it so easy to use and people think I actually know what I'm doing cause I'm following your instructions... this video blew my mind

Man, I am a sound tech idiot par excellence. Followed all the steps in this video which makes it seem so easy and I was able to do everything EXCEPT get anything coming out of my monitors. Still can't get even the most basic mix out to a monitor. Got this X32 compact board because it sure CAN do everything I would ever want/need it to do. Learning HOW to get it to do even the most simple functions of live mixing is proving to be a totally different thing. :-( I'm at the point of I will PAY someone to get on Zoom with me to help me learn how to use this thing! Better that than having a $2k piece of equipment I have no idea how to use collecting dust in my house.

Great job, as usual. I joined your blog (appreciate the routing worksheet BTW) and downloaded your scenes. Wow! What time it saved me! Worth every penny! I own the X32, but am a performer, so I hire someone to run it; all well and good until I had to break it out for rehearsals and we are going to use Ableton to play tracks to replace missing performers. Your scenes download set everything up perfectly for me, whereas trying to understand how the hired guys' scenes were set up was too hard for me. Kudos!

Brilliant and clear instruction as always, thanks Drew. If the vocalist wants to hear reverb in their Monitor,(and it does help some vocalists with theiir confidence) but you don’t want it in the Main mix, In the Fx Return channel / Main tab, de-select the send to Main LR.

Very helpful video! Made setting this up a million times easier, thank you!!!

I just love to watch Drew Brashlers Videos. I do when there are certain questions he could answer, or when I just have a bit of time and get some inspiration. Thank you Drew.

Still saving Audio lives in 2024! Thanks DB!

Great! Looking forward to the video on the Inear Monitoring setup!

Thanks Drew _ keep em coming

Thanks for answering my question of sending effect on monitors ur the best.

Hey Drew! Welcome to Dallas! Enjoy the videos, keep them coming.

What a brilliant easy to understand video!

Re viewing the fader Layers on the Compact (and I assume the Producer): You can press any two Layer buttons on the Left hand side together, and those two layers will appear on the the two fader banks. So you can have all 16 Mix Busses at the same time for example.

You explain good.

Thank You!

Thanks Drew as always...I will like to be part of your trainings..

Thank you sir.

You are the best

HaHa, "its as simple as that" Youve just been on 20 odd different menu's, just to be able to get 3 vocals in a monitor,

Hi Drew, I am from Germany und I thank you for your videos. They are really helpful for uns in our church. I have a question: is it possible to make a MixBus output to follow the Main Fader (LR) volume?

Thanks Drew quick question di you have any suggestions about LCR and subwoofer how to get the best of that LCR setup

Hi Drew, thank you so much for all the videos that you have been making. It's been very helpful for me to work with x32 for our church :) Just a quick question... would you be able to make a video, or if you don't have time... a quick run down on how to set the custom bus configuration? I know you choose 6 + 6 + 4, but... what if I wanted to do 7 + 5 + 4 for example... That'd be very helpful. Thank you so much!

This was VERY HELPFUL! thank you for making this seem so obtainable for someone beginning. Is this idea for sending to a wedge monitor the same process when sending to an in-ear system? and is each band members pack another Mix Bus i need to send to? for example, i would have to set up a "MON 1" for every band members in-ear mix?

Congrat.

one thing that I think you should talk is differences between "sub-group" and "post-fader". how to choose between both. ps : sorry if my english sucks, I'm french user of the X32.

Nice! Could you explain how this is done with the X32 edit software for Windows, especialy the part with the reverb for the monitor mix? thx! grts Kennet

Hey @DrewBrashler, I know the chances of you answering are slim but I’m gonna ask anyways! Is it possible to duplicate the channels I’m currently using (1-16) to the second layer/page (17-32)? essentially to create a monitor land mix and have separate control over the floor monitors. Currently while adjusting my house volume, it is affecting the floor monitors and I don’t want that. I love your videos and any advice is appreciated!

Hi Drew. Love ur vids. 100% useful. I would like to find out why I have next issue. When linking two SD8s to my X32 compact, I set SD8A as outputs 1-8 with the switch and SD8B as 9-16 outputs. Outputs on X32 are routed 1-8 as Buses for wedges. And 15-16 Outputs for L&R. But when sending signal to Bus 7 or 8 to my wedges, signal also goes trough the main XLR, as if they were still routed to 7 and 8 as L&R. I´ve updated firmware and triple-checked routings, but still the same. Any idea, and if so, could you make a video about it? Thanks

Drew, I have just begun running the X32 for my church and I am only picking up certain mics for my livestream. How can I fix this?

Can you explain how we can create custom bus configuration instead of using the pre selected options?

Hi Drew. Can I eq floor stage monitors ?. Our chuch have x32 and Yamaha 12 pass monitors. God bless you brother. From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

I’m very new to using a mixer, so please bear with me. I am hooking up sound for a musical. I would need all channels to go to the monitors so actors can hear. How do I plug in the monitors? On the back I see a jack (output?) behind the monitor dial of both XLR and 1/4” cables. Someone hooked up the XLR to the system for FOH. Do the monitors connect with the 1/4”? Or do they connect to different port? I hope this makes sense 😅

Can i get this as a gift for my church a Cathedral in Nigeria, to the worship of God been following your videos for a while

Quick question: If you select 16 pre-fader, where do you connect your main speakers & subs?

Drew, I connected a Mac Mini USB A port to x32 full board XUF card usb port using a standard cable, from time to time the sound becomes distorted then goes out, I unplug the connection, then reconnect it, the issues is cleared up. I purchase a new Mac Mini, same issue. I sent the board out to be check, no issue found. So the only thing left is the Cable, which I swapped, can you help

I am wondering how we can figure the M 32 are to have a different amount of reverb for the front of house versus the monitor mix. Is this possible?

Drew, please help me (or anyone else). I have worked so hard in learning this board for installation at my church. However, there is a problem that I can't resolve. When I tap BUS1 (which is my monitor 1) and then I tap "sends on faders" and increase a particular channel (vocal mic) into it, I then get out of that by tapping sends on faders. However, then when I turn that vocal fader all the way down, I am still getting sound from that channel into the mains. I should not be getting any sound from that vocal channel into the mains when I slide that vocal channel fader all the way down. Please anyone,,,help!

Random question when multi track recording do you know typically how big the file is and what file type it is? Thank you

Please upload tutorial for (beringer x32 aux in and aux out) how its Work?

You assign the wedges to post fader but in your blog you say pre fader is the better option? I would think pre fader is better. Just seeking clarification.

Got a problem at my church. We can't mix anything into any monitor from the ipad on stage or at the mixer. I can't accomplish a mix using the user's manual that came with the x32. Any ideas what to check.

Drew, I have inherited the sound system in our church. I am not an experienced sound man. My problem is with my monitors. If I am using the microphones for the singers, I can increase or decrease the sound in the monitors. I can turn the main volume slider to zero and still adjust the monitors. With the tracks, I cannot adjust the volume in the monitors without have the main slider up. I cannot turn the main slider volume down and have any adjustment for the monitors, tracks only. Stan

How would I get a backing track that our singers are singing along with to be sent to 1 or 2 monitors. We don't have a band yet, we just use backing tracks.

How do I setup my in ears monitors stereo?

can the mixbus have its own EQ?

Hello there. I have a x32 beginner as well. Recently, I have trouble with it. For some reasons, there is no signal out in L R and M/C SOLO. Can you teach me how to fix it please

How do you send a mixbus to an AES50 output? I feel like I am missing something so simple and so obvious

Tell me how to conect studio talk back mic

Monitors should be set pre eq. That will be pre FOH eq. Set dual 31 band eq's to your monitors, ring them out. You don't want the Front of house eq to mess with the artists during performances. Monitors should stay the same throughout their performance. You'll throw them off if their tones change. And post fader in the x32 is not what people are thinking in this comment thread. Shows your commenting without ever working on one. Post fader on the x32 means post monitor fader not foh

You didn’t mention how to send the signal thru the 6 band eq for monitors before sending it out to the powered wedges.

Is this video from 10 years ago? Looks like it.

I cannot adjust input levels on my 12345678

The Behringer X32 is the Toyota Corolla of mixers.

I have a bless that everthing was set up for me. My only role was “make me shine like Joel Osteen”. I want to come to actually see how things set up.

Why are you setting up your Monitors Post.

some kids are teaching old horse to whistle..

Floor wedges are not expensive? I don't see that.

great but way of your is complicated for beginner any how setup way with own convenient will do lol

Vocalist who ask for reverbs in a monitor mix are too caught up with themselves! Monitor mixes should be as clean sounding and tight on the drums as it gets!!!

Yikes...why PostFader??? That's like a recipe for disaster for floor wedges or wireless IEMs alike...Would definitely NOT recommend Post-Fader monitor mixes, too messy bro!

Actually the first step for doing this would be to replace that total piece of crap Behringer X32...sheesh that thing is a dumpster fire of digital poo poo. It does however make a suitable boat anchor!

You seem to have a bit of an arogant air about you in your approach to what was supposed to be a video about setting up and mixing a wedge monitor. Instead, it's 12 minutes and 35 seconds of rapid fire talk about everything other than setting up a usable monitor wedge. It's a "look at me" posting. Furthermore, you talk about vocalists as though they are a nuisance to you. The sound technician is a vital part of any musical production and should be trusted completely by the band. But the band is the reason you are there to begin with. You are there to serve the band. Not the other way around. The audience will have it's attention on the performers, not on you. Know your place and respect boundaries. Here are a few REAL bits of information regarding setting up a wedge for vocals. 1. If you set up ANY wedge monitor in post-fader mode, you WILL subject your audience to painful squeeling feedback when you raise levels on front of house. Wedge monitors should ALWAYS ONLY be setup pre-fader. 2. You didn't even mention ringing out the wedge. If you don't correctly ring out EVERY single wedge deployed on a stage to counteract the effect of room resonance at certain frequencies, EVERY one of them will be completely useless to the performers. Once the performance begins, stage volume is often louder than at sound check, and performers often need more volume in the wedge. You WILL have feedback on a wedge you didn't ring out when you try to increase it's volume. And you will likely end up ruining the performance for the band and for the audience as well. 3. A bit of reverb in a vocal monitor is NOT an unacceptable request that requires having a word with the singer. Since ALL indoor environments produce reverb to some degree when we talk, a dry monitor can sound foreign to most any non-professional vocalist. If you are half the sound technician you seem to believe you are, reverb in the wedge should pose no problem for you. 4. For passive wedges powered by outboard amps, as you describe, an analog mixer and 2 or 3 stereo 31 band EQs would be a far more suitable and much quicker and easier to operate option than the $2500 Behringer X32. And somewhat less costly too.
