This video is about navigating the Routing and Menu pages of the Behringer X32 with the Behringer X-Live card.
"I'm just gonna go ahead and....." Love that crutch! Good stuff, my card is in the mail. Thanks as always for the help Drew.
Thank you for the Help!!! Old 80’s school metal head now playing Rock Gospel!!! God bless You! 🙏🙏🙏
EXCELLENT video Drew! Thanks so much! I had no idea this was available/ possible!
Drew: Congrats, one of your best videos so far. Based on this video I can't wait to order this card for our X32 at church in Puerto Rico. Please pray for us so we get electricity back as soon as God permits. Since hurracaine Maria, on Sept 20, we lost power and 70% of our island still has no electrical power (approximately 3,000,000 people). Our church is Casa del Padre and my pastor is Luis Roig. Cordially, Miguel Portillo
Oh my! Keep up the good work!
Great Tutorial series Drew. God bless you,
This is heaven sent thank you Behringer
Very nice Drew and lucky you to get your hands-on one lol. Just one glaring omission that i may have missed -- no fast forward or reverse for shuttling through tracks to get to a specific point. the markers are ok, but to sit and wait all the way through a file to get to a point you need perhaps near the end of the file will end up being frustrating i think,
One question--your discussion of the USB Interface 32 in/32 out setting seems to say that this affects recording to the SD card. Isn't this just for the recording to laptop through the USB output of the X-live card?
Nice Mix!
Hi Drew,
I live in Burundi (a country in East Africa).
I would like to ask you to make a video on the "Behringer S32" stage box because we would like to know how to use it in its entirety in our Church, and until now I have only seen several videos well explained on the S16.
Thank you, you are a blessing to all of us who follow you on UA-cam.
Enjoyed the video Drew Brashler thank you. Question- when I recorded my band using the x-live card i followed all your instructions in your videos, but 3 of the instruments didn't record. Each of those 3 were routed from aux inserts into channels 5, 6, and 7. all the instruments that used a DI or mic and directly into their channels recorded fine. Any thoughts? besides go buy more DI's
Hello , first let me say thanks for your efforts they are very helpful. QUESTION can you overdub with xlive , it doesn't appear that you can..
Fantastic, but im have a question, X-Live have MTC, Time-Code? the Porte Midi Out Generate MIDI TIME CODE?
Thanks for the great videos and help. Yes, what if we only want to record inputs 1 thru 16, are the others recording, too, which leads to wasting SD space? I don't see on the rest of the tracks to not record...just asking.
Hey Drew, love your work - question - on the X-Live, if recording 8 channels, what does the X-Live card default to? Which 8? I would guess 1-8, yes? the 16 would be 1-16, and 32 1-32. I want the X-Live to record whatever 8 I decide, but I don't see that as being possible.
Please post a video that show routing the playback back through the X32 POST fader to mix down to the USB Front Panel. No one has explained how to do this yet. Please do a video for this.
Hi drew how can I route the x32 for logic so when I record it plays back and I don’t have to keep changing the routing every time
Please explain recording dry or with eq to the sd cards..Thanks
Drew - Great video! Was excited to give this a whirl so I could mix without the band and dial in my mixer settings, but ran into a problem this past weekend. I think it's in routing. I have AES50 for channels 1-24 (on stage) and local for 25-32 (in back of room for IEMs and Wireless Mics @ board). I set these settings for the card "Record" part. I also had these defined the same way in the Card Out tab. The "Play" part was card 1-32. But I had some channels muted (actually ocmpletely dead) during my XLive recording of my show. I stopped the recording, but could never recover those dead channels (which were all my local 25-32 channels). Might you or anyone know 1) how I can route to record my 32 channels (AES50 for 1-24, Local 25-32), 2) playback all of these for virtual soundcheck and 3) not have this muted issue? THX!!!
Hi Drew, can you also copy a clicktrack and sequence track in wav to the SD card. So that you not using an laptop or an other mixer?
Thanks for these! I've got an x32 Compact, and I'm considering upgrading the interface. But the interface I'm considering, and very curious about, is the X-Dante card. Would love some in-depth info about that one. -Real world use, with a couple of computers running Dante Virtual Soundcard, set-up, routing and so on.
Dante is the next major development for my studio.
hello I have a question I have a m32 midas download the live tracks why the program do not recognize the card of the mixer or I need to download an extra program for it
When the recorder switches from one SD card to the next does it have a gap? Or can the transition be seamless?
Great video! I’m having issues with playback from my SD card. I have a 32 multitrack recording on my SD card. While monitoring the mix with headphones, I noticed I was still getting sound even with all of the faders down. How is that happening and how can I stop it? I only want to hear sound coming from the faders. Please help.
Thanks in advance!
What setup allows USB out (to Abelton Live) AND record to the SD card? We can't seem to make this work.
Is there a way to set up what sections get recorded to the card? Like I want the 16 locals and then the 6 auxs and a couple of the mix buses?
I’m using a X32 that is 3 years old and we don’t have the x live card and I just got a iMac to start recording and when i tried to set it up it I was not working do I need to get the x live card to be able to record or is there another way I can do it with out getting the new card
If I'm using the aux in Remap to receive tracks from my daw on aux 1-4 does that mean I can't record local 1-4 at the same time cuz those are already being used by the card to route audio to the x32?
Great instruction thank you
Thanks Drew
HI and thanks for the great video. Just wondering...Is it possible to
record to the usb thumb drive and the SD X-Live expansion at the same
time?
Do you have any tutorial on how to set the usb.. or how can it detect to pc for live streaming..
Great work Drew!
When it comes to the operation of the X-32, You are my #1 goto when I don't understand how to get it right.
My question today is, can I take the SD card and plug it into my computer to transfer the files into Reaper for mixing them down into a finished project?
Thanks in advance, keep up the great work.
Neal
You have to use the utility to divide the proprietary singletrack format into multiple tracks and then you can import them into Reaper.
Where does the SD recording Tap from? it seems to be at Gain stage/Pre Fader, is there a way to change to post fader?
I run a DL32, say I only want to record 16in/16 out.... can I choose 1-8 and 25-32? Or is it 1-16..?
Is it possible to X-Live Record at a point beyond the Input stage? Like Post-EQ, Post Fader etc?
Are you able to mix back the song on the actual board and actual channels? Mix eq and fx?
Hi, if I have an auxiliary input piano how can I register on the card (i have a midas m32r)
Good question. (-:
Is it a multitrack recording module Drew or is it similar to the USB recorder built-in?
Does it have the ability to fast forward and rewind?
question , i just baught the X32 and i am very uneducated when it comes to daws's .Does this new card make it were I can use the X32 as a multi track recorder like the Tascam 32 channel mixer? Thanks for your wonderful videos. God bless you.
No. It records in blocks of 8 tracks.
Hi there.. Can I record the performance and play our backing tracks simultaneously ? Ex. From one Card I will play backing track and from second I will record the live show ? Can I use this card as audio interface for recordint do DAW ? From Logical input to DAW . If I will record session to the SD card , Will I have independent wav for each channel (ex. 1x kick wav , 1x snare wav, 1x bass wav etc. ) Thank you
It has a USB interface that will connect to your DAW. The card records in a proprietary format, and you have to use the utility to split it into separate tracks.
Hey , Is there a way to use a user channel recording option? To choose specifically which channels to record ? For ex( Aes50 25-32)
Also could I playback from the USB port on X Card and record through it simultaneously in Logic?
Hi Drew, Great vid's!!!! Tell me, is there any way to record on SD card from DAW playback? So if you had 16 tracks on DAW and you wanted to record that to SD for virt soundcheck (without having to bring your DAW to the gig) Hey, Im adding this to my comment: I did find out how to route DAW tracks back to the SD card for Transfering DAW tunes to the SD card to use for virt soundchecks.... This allows tunes that have not been recorded live to the ''sound check'' list... nice! take care!
Hello. Can I choose recording PRE/POST eq, comp/gate, insert? Can I export file to WAV LR after mix live record? Have a good day! (-:
currently I record with the tascam dp-24 w/SD card. is it possible to take the recordings on the tascam dp-24 SD card and use that same card in
the X32?
Absolutely not. There's nothing whatsoever in common with the file systems.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you Drew for these videos. Does the X-Live will work with X32 Rack?
Yes it does! Thanks!
what is the largest sd card you can use i purchased 256 gig 10 3 v30 cards will they work
Is anyone using the X32 with Mac OS X Catalina?
Thanks for the videos, Drew!
Hey drew love all your videos...say I record a two track demo on to SD card....how do I get that to a wave file I can share with fellow writers thank you
Has anyone figured out how to playback a file recorded on the X-Live? I have an X32 Rack. We recorded something but can't figure out how to play it back to insure it works. When we play it back should it show on the channel inputs on the ipad. Can't get sound going out on the main outs to pa. We have a big theatre show tonight and would like to get a multi track recording.
I had the same issue. I had to play with the routing and finally got it to work. You have to make sure that when you toggle between the record/playback modes that you actually press in the knob to select the correct mode and then adjust your routing. I kept turning the knobs but forgetting to actually press it in to confirm my selection. Hope this helps some.
Can it record automation with the audio file?
How do I record a song in a studio setting, where I can add extra vocal, dubs, and choruses?
You cant with the x-live. You would need to use a laptop and daw software. Take the usb card out and run that to your laptop. Search some youtube vids on setting it up with your specific daw software. If it is a PC you need to download the appropriate driver for the card in you x32.
Using these settings, the outputs from the card go back through the gain and eq sections of the desk, which is definitely not desirable!
How can I avoid this?
Hi, I'm wondering if you can use two SD cards simultaneously - one for recording and the other one for a multi-channel playback (not just stereo). Does anybody know? Basically if there's a way to do both at the same time without a laptop. Thanks
Did you find out by now?? Does it work?
@@chrisk5251 I sold the Behringer. I beleieve you can't use it that way.
Great Video. Can I playback from my laptop daw through the usb port and record onto the sd card at the same time?
Hi Drew, I'm a bit of a novice but approaching 60. Maybe a silly question can you record individual tracks like a multitrack recorder or is it just the live tracks in one take?
Thanks Drew. Very helpful. My X-Live is pre-ordered. The natural next question is will a larger SD Card formatted to FAT32 work in the X-Live? Have you given it a go yet?
Great question. Yes, tests with larger than 32GB have been used, however, FAT32 format is only supported at a max size of 32GB. Therefore, if you have issues with larger cards, most likely that is the problem.
Just some food for thought, FAT32 isn't limited to 32GB in and of itself; Microsoft set the 32GB partition size limit in recent versions of Windows in order to promote NTFS. Most other operating systems support up to around 2TB.
That having been said, has Behringer specifically limited their FAT32 partition size support, or is it just a recommendation to avoid having trouble creating partitions in Windows?
Read the review from a user on the Sweetwater site. He said he formatted a 256 Gb card FAT32 and it's working flawlessly with a capacity of 11 hrs!
Does the X-live record delays and reverbs coming from the board
Manu Brown I have the same question. Do you now know at what point the signal is taken off for the card? I would guess that when AES50 is selected as the recording source, that the signal to the card would be post gain only, and before anything else. Is this correct?
@@keithericksen5756 If it's the same as the USB interface was, it's post gain without any signal processing. You have to do some work-a-rounds to get the signal processing included. Drew goes over that in another video. I don't recall how to set it up that way, as I prefer the raw signal so I can mix it in a DAW later. I think it's the best way to record anyhow, as anything baked in that doesn't sound good can't be undone. Things like EFX may sound find during a live performance, but baked into the mix when playing it back on monitors or a stereo system at lower levels without all the band noise, those EFX may be too overwhelming or the EQ maybe not right , etc.
Headroom is not just the level below Zero reference level, but the peak level above it before clipping. Your unit should not clip at "zero reference" but 10 to 20 db above it. That is the real "headroom"
Thanks great video (as always). Can I use a 2x 64 GB card or even larger size cards?
I'm using 2 128gig cards which demand a special formating from xfat to fat32 dataformat. But yeah, it works
BTW with 128gigs you can record about 5h of 32ch in 44,1hz
How do I delete the routing after my gig to start fresh for my next gig?
"Initialize Console" option. After you do that, and you set up your routing and FX the way you want it, I suggest you make a "reset" scene so you don't have to keep doing it over and over.
Hi Drew, my name is Alvin,
Is there a way of recording onto the X32 Rack without having the XLive card but using the XTouch console? Or does it require the use of the XLive card to be installed? 🎃
Hi, I have a question: I am using Waves Multirack with X32 rack console extended with S16 stagebox... in this way, I have some channels routed on CARD inputs since Waves are going via laptop. In this mode/setup i have to use playback option in recorder, so the question is: Is X-LIVE going to work if I want to record the show via X-LIVE and if I leave it on playback option instead recording? Thanks in advance
Hi, i have exactly same setup, did you find out the answer?
@@mrovi789 Yes, everything works just fine as it is by default
@@Neoccon My card just arrived, but cannot get it work properly. Does record, but at playback i cannot control anything, even with all channels muted it goes in the mains. Can even see signal in the multirack..but absolutely no control. Must be my routing, any ideas?
I have no sound when playing back.
What is the best procedure to send audio from Pc/MAc to the USB to AUX 1 and 2 on the X32. I'm not having much luck.
AH HA! Thank you Drew selecting the Playback of the card to USB! DUH!
That's nice (I own the x 32 COMPACT) but it's much more complex when using ABLETON Live, LIVE...
if you set it up to record 16 channels for ex 1-16, could you assign playback of those channels to 17-32 and be able to play along on the first channels?
I have the same question! Specifically, we use 1-8 on the rack and 9- 17 from an SD8 for our church. We would love to record a session, play it back and allow others to sing over this recording for practice.
The card is designed to playback pre-recorded tracks for virtual sound checks. Of course you can play along with those tracks.
The recorded audio is pre-processing/dynamics right? After head-amp?
I believe it is unless you are routing to the P16 outs and sending those to the card. Check out the "recording with effects" video
the X-Live card can also handle bigger SD-card than 32 GB. But you can´t format SD cards with more than 32 GB within the card (x32 / m32 mixer)
You have to insert larger SD cards into your computer and format them to fat32 if you want to erase recordings on them an reuse the cards with the X-Live card.
Please always test the cards before use. That is also useful for 32 GB cards. The card have to be fast enough (Class 10).
Is it possible to play .wav file thru this like the usb input on the front of the console?
Great question, yes you can! The wav needs to be a 16 bit .wav at the same sample rate as your console (.wav; 16-bit; PCM; 44.1kHz/48kHz), but once that is set, you will be able to!
Drew Brashler I have spent many hours trying to get .wav break music to play like my usb stick... HELP!
Drew Brashler actually let me clear something up... you can ONLY play back what the card has recorded. Placing an external .wav file on the card will not be playable thru the console.
Is it possible to record from aux-in and/or from subgroups? Or only ch1..32?
Hey Lambert! Yes, you could use the same trick with the P16 out as I do with this blog post: dbbaudio.com/2016/behringer-x32-recording-with-effects/ Hope that helps!
Behringer need to update this X card with one feature.... A simple A-B repeat function so you can loop sections between markers...
It's a shame that it doesn't do single track record arming. Can't use it in the studio for overdubs. But I can't believe that Behringer missed the opportunity to make it into a 2 track studio master recorder. If Behringer would update the firmware to allow 2 track mixdown recording, I would buy one of these.
You can set it up to do 2 track recording, just depends on your routing to a laptop, or you can use the USB port on the top of the console. You wouldn't directly use the x-live card to do ovedubs, but you can use it with a DAW to do that.
