Thank you! I'm glad it helped.

Very glad it helped!

Glad I could help!

Glad I could help! If you have any questions, let me know.

Great tip! I didn't even know you could do that.

Maybe one day. I have a lot of projects in the pipeline right now.

Filming a part 2 tomorrow!

Awesome! I am super happy I could help! Let me know how it goes.

Much appreciated! Hope it helped you out!

Thank you! I hope it was helpful!

Glad I could help!

Happy to help! It's hard to find analog boards now-a-days. You have to be comfortable with digital if you want to run sound.

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped!

Very glad I could help!

Awesome! Yam, this client ended up quite happy with the new install. I do highly recommend a stage box with the install as well. If you guys want a consultation, or need help with the install, just let me know!

We're nearing the end of the process now, just waiting for our case to arrive from China! We've got the AES50 as well, and the school that we run services in was kind enough to let us install Cat5e and boxes to either side of the hall so that makes things a lot easier! We used a partial setup (Desk, Speakers, Snake and New 2.4GHz Radio Mics) and it worked like a breeze except from the fact that one of our wall connector boxes was incorrectly wired! Oh well, we're nearing the end of it now so yay. I'm going to be training a few people up to use the desk because at the moment it's just me trained, so I'll probably use this video! Thanks!

@@thomgibbs Sounds like a sweet setup. Just wait until you have a permanent space! Then no more setup and strike every week. If the school is letting you install things, that makes it all much easier. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Glad it helped!

Ya, the compact is a great choice. You lose a little bit of control for the space, but it's a good trade off. Thanks for watching!

Glad the video was helpful for you! I have not used the waves card with the x32, but I would question if it is worth it. One of the things I don't like about the x32 is how limited the inserts are. Unless the card opened up the functionality more, I would just upgrade to a better console. Like the M32. But, I have no experience with the waves card, so maybe it is totally worth it. Thanks!

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

I don't have a video that covers that, but I have been thinking about doing a part 2.

TFTGear that would be very helpful!! We started streaming out church service like everyone else but we’re learning as we go. Learning how to properly set up vocal mics with effects would be awesome because we notice on the stream it sounds to dry

Happy I could help!

I haven't used that card. Whats the use case?

@@mattingramsound we want to record some of our gigs and mix them in Studio One. Phone and camera recordings are not the best quality.

No problem. Hope it helped!

Press 1-8 and 9-16 together, boom, 16 channels on both groups :)

Lol! Thank you! I'm glad you were able to get something out of it. I have watched many tutorials in my day, and you are right, a lot of them are very hard to follow.

Thanks! Yes, you can use it with any of the behringer stage boxes.

Call a local sound production company. If you get a pro to set it up and DON'T let people mess with it, you should be fine.

Follow your signal path from start to finish. Are your sources sent to your mix bus? You should see the meter moving on the bus. If that is good, make sure your mix bus fader is up and not muted. Then be sure your routing is correct. Then confirm your amps are setup correctly. Parts 2 and 3 of this series go over busses and routing. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the feedback! I am glad you liked the video, and sorry for the distracting music!

@@mattingramsound No need to apologise

Was just going through unanswered comments. Not sure how I missed this one. Sorry about that. Instead of using a matrix for the stream output, use a bus. Then nothing goes to the stream unless you want it to.

Yes, that can be done in many ways. You can do a simple hard pan left and right, or create a vocal mix bus. The way I would recommend is mixing your instruments stereo out the LR and Vocals out the Center Bus.

I imagine those mics probably take phantom power, so I would check that first. If you are seeing an input signal but getting no output, you may need to confirm that it is bussed to your main LR, and if it is in a DCA make sure that fader is up also.

Thanks Derek, I'm glad you got something out of the tutorial. To answer your questions: You won't find a better resource than youtube. Any thing you want to learn about is right here. Of course, there is always this channel as a resource. Also , depending on how big your install will be, I would be happy to do a consultation for you guys. If you are looking for specific gear, you can also get in touch with the manufacturer and ask for qualified dealers in your area.

To get fx in the monitors, just turn up the fx returns in the desired mix bus (aux send). As for the other issue: it could be many things, but I would start by checking to make sure that the send on his guitar was pre fader and not post. You can assign pre/post on an individual bus basis for the same instrument.

Good news! That info is in this tutorial!

Modulation and time based effects are almost always put on aux sends. Unfortunately, this board does have some limitations with the routing, so you may not be able to get 8 stereo mixes. But for the price, that is forgivable. I would never give up reverb and echo for the sake of stereo monitors though. Your musicians can live with mono.

@@mattingramsound thanks

No offense but you obviously haven't done this much. To be asked for 8 stereo monitor feeds would literally make me laugh out loud. Never in 30 years have I been asked for even close to that. And if you want to mention huge stadium acts that probably have that many monitor feeds, you wouldn't be asking on this thread how that works if you had any experience with that. 5 musicians and 3 singers means 8 monitor mixes tops! And that's only if none of the actual musicians are one of the singers. To actually answer your question though, the x32 also has 6 aux outs that can be used for anything from main outs to live feed, to effects sends or even extra monitor outs. So the board actually has 22 outs.

I would love to! I just have to figure out how to get one first!

TFTGear Oof, good luck! My school uses one Behringer X32 rack and in the back stage there is like 10 BIG BIG huge Amplifers in the back stage. The Mixer and the other laptops and all are like in the bottom left corner of the hall (supposing the front of the hall is the stage itself) xD My old school used a TF3, man I loved buttons so I just tried to search it up online. And wow, learnt a lot since 5th grade! Thanks for this informative video too!

Hey, as far as the music being louder than your vocals, that could be so many things it's impossible to suggest anything. The most common reason I've seen for this is that the speakers you are using are too small to compete with all the other instruments. Second thing... I own the compact as well. The only time channels 17 to 32 are available is when you are using a digital stage box. We don't have the actual inputs on our boards. If you are using a 16 input digital stage box, you can assign them to be 17 to 32 if you want and use the first 16 actual inputs on the board. That gives you the full 32 but you have to run the mic cables for inputs 1 to 16 directly to the board. If you have a 32 input stage box then all 32 channels on your compact are live. Third thing... When you connect a stage box to the AES50 with a CAT5 cable, you have to go into the ROUTING tab and change the inputs from "Local" to "AES50". -Hit the ROUTING tab. Use left right arrows to get to INPUT. You will see 4 rows of inputs. 1-8 9-16 17-24 25-32. They are in groups of 8 but you can use a combination of both. If you want to plug into the actual board, set to LOCAL. If you want to plug into the stage box, set to AES50. Example: 1-8 Local (plug mic cables directly into board channels 1-8) 9-16 Local (plug mic cables directly into board channels 9-16) 17-24 AES50 (plug mic cables into stage box channels 1-8 *automatically returns them on channels 17-24 on x32) 25-32 AES50 (plug mic cables into stage box channels 9-16 * automatically returns them on channels 25-32 on x32) ** the XLR outputs work the same. If you want to use the ones on the actual board, they have to be set to local. If you want them to come out the stage box, they have to be set to AES50 as well. The Xlr outputs are also in the ROUTING tab. Use right arrow to get to "XLR" .

Passive means that the speaker cabinets do not have amps built in. All speakers have to be driven by amps. The X32 alone cannot drive a passive speaker, you need to go from the mixer, into an amp, then into the speakers. When you say EQ do you mean a graphic eq or crossover?

@@mattingramsoundIt is a stereo graphic EQ. And also my passive speakers do have a separate amp to power the speakers. My worry is if these items work with the x32.

@@i.g3629 The analog output of the X32 is a stereo (or mono) line level signal. Th other equipment won't know the difference between it and a regular analog console. As for the GEQ, you can continue to use it, or put a GEQ on the master bus inside the X32 instead. It's up to you!

@@mattingramsound Wow thanks man. I truly appreciate your help. You are the boss

Not that I know of. Typically line level equipment can take the 48v, it's ribbon mics you have to worry about.

@@mattingramsound thanks

That is way too little info for me to understand the problem.

You would need to be more specific about your need, but yes, it has assignable outputs.

This is a fairly complicated question as there are many different ways to do it and many factors. If you just want to take your FOH audio to the stream, just route your Main LR into one of your aux outs and plug it into the ATEM. (I cover routing in part 3). If you want a separate stream mix, the choose a stereo pair of busses to be you stream bus, then route those to the aux out into your atem. You can then mix for the stream in headphones with sends on fader. (I cover this a bit more in part 2). Those are the 2 easiest ways, but that just gets audio into your ATEM. How you get that online is a while nother topic.

@@mattingramsound anyway you may show me the 2nd bit of how to do it...possibly through an IM insta or something

To record off the board properly into a phone you would need some kind of stereo recording interface/dongle. Then you could bus your mix out a pair of auxes and into your phone. It would be much easier to record on a USB drive.

What do you need to know?

@@mattingramsound how to get effects into a monitor

It's been awhile, but I am recording a part 2 tomorrow!

Hey Kyle, you can get any of the fx returns into a mix bus the same way you would a mic. Select the fx return channel, then turn it up the bus that goes to the monitors. Or you could select the monitor mix bus, hit sends on fader, then go to your returns fader bank and turn them up. Hope this helps!

🤣

Pretty sure it can be both.
