@i Jamguitar the recording tap is PRE - right off the pre-amp... you can use the p16 routing to get 16 channels of POST eq if you wanna track that. Otherwise, on playback , you will be hitting all the channel post when routing back through the console...
Thank you posting this video,as a old school analogue engineer this has been most enjoyable and informative to learn on how digital consoles operate,and if you can belive this,i've only started using a computer,what 5-6 yrs now,so i have lot to learn on how things operate in the digital realm,and thank you once again for posting this video.Happy mixing and happy trails to ya folks.Take care and be safe!
Just sent this video to someone who wants to shadow as an introduction to this desk. Already threw them in the deep end by letting them mix a support with my support. So I know this video is going to hit he mark now, thank you.
This video is a great overview of functionality and operating the mixer. It is easy to understand even for foreigners! Thank you for making it! Especially, routing and safes was interesting because I didn't use it a lot.
I just started learning this board, at my church, about a month ago. It's not overly complex and I'm already getting the hang of it. I really like it. But what's also cool is that not only am I learning this board, I'm also learning the Midas Pro 2C, in the Broadcast Room.
Thank you for producing this video! Our church is in the process of installing this mixer board coming from an analog board. Thankfully, we have a sound guy who actually is a professional and knows what he's doing. I'm one of the drummers in the church, but sometimes I run Livestream, and sometimes I run sound. I have a lot to learn. I'm still trying to figure out how to mix on a Behringer Xenyx X1832USB for my other band, in which I play drums and (at least) set up the mixer. I will be coming back to review this and other videos to learn more. There is so much to learn!
@@jacksonmessenger1053 I’m just a beginner on this system. Definitely not the right person to ask at this time, but I’m sure someone out there would know.
Thank you RedOne Music Canada! Very thorough, detailed, structured and overall very understandable walkthrough! I love how you carefully use your words when describing different aspects of the mixer. I like this video very much, as I already learned many things about this beautiful mixer. All the best!
This is the most enjoyable video I have watched so far..ever since I started watching videos about digital mixers and I feel like as is am using it right now.. much love sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this very helpful tutorial! I LOVE my M32, have owned it for almost two years now, and I'm still learning something new about it almost every day..... I'll be referring back to this video often!
I'm about to start using one if these at a venue. Gotta say coming from SSL consoles I'm actually kind of impressed. It's nit as complicated as Yamaha and other consoles, it'd straight forward and the screen has good visual cues. M.A.D.I capable anyone ???. The routing matrix might be the downside bit for the price point seems pretty good
The most clear presentation out YT! Just 1 thing i would like to know: say you have all set-up for a venue (all: gate + comp + eq + fxs etc)... can you record (on the cards and/or via usb) the "nude/ dry" tracks for a mixing/post-prod session the next day?
The USB card outs and the SD card recorder in the back are factory set to record the dry signal right after the pre amp. You will always get the dry signal unless you change it. It is possible to record the post dynamic and eq'd signal if you want. You have to go into the routing and change the CARD out's from "LOCAL" to "P16" on banks 1-8 and 9-16. The "P16" out's are post eq and dynamic signals. The "LOCAL" out's are dry. Hope that helps... Cheers!
you made everything very easy for me. I downloaded this video and after watching I came back to like, subscribe and leave a comment. Thanks so much. please try and get us a video of how to connect to my tablet.
I use the usb card to my laptop for daw remote control. I have other gear and it requires a wordclock. If I switched it out with a ADAT card with wordclock included - how would I connect back to my laptop and would remote controlling be available? Are there other alternatives? AES?
Thanks for posting, very useful walkthrough. One litl thing - next time maybe you should use a litl more background light to help the camera focusing...
Thank you so much for this awesome video. Please my question is what am I doing wrong if my fader is not controlling my channel moving it up or down doesn’t work?
I know bout the +M stuff. Yes, thats for mutes. It can record with mutes or just pass through all audio. I still dont know if I should have used +M or not on a specific recording tho...on one hand - extra work...on the other - I have plenty of material that I might need in the future.
There's a possibility to use a channel in the M32 in line, without a preamp? To use with a external Neve 1073? How to best way to use teh mixer with a external preamp like that neve? Thx in advance
Have you tried any of yhe other mixingboards in the sae price genre like the Yamaha TF-series, Presonus StudioLive or such? Still think this is kinda pricey compared to the opponents. Any idea why?
Recently we've been using this one, and we've been really happy with it! musicredone.com/collections/live-microphones/products/sennheiser-meg-14-40-l-ii-b-gooseneck-microphone-xlr-5-pin-green-light-ring :)
Thank you so much for this video. Learnt a lot as I am new to digital consoles. However, am having a hard time deciding which console to buy. I have in mind a Midas m32, Allen and heath qu 32 and Allen and heath sq6. In terms of sound quality and durability, which one would you prefer? (for use in church)
Do XLR inputs Allow Both Mono&Stereo? or do you have to link two channels I ask as I'm Running it with my Daw and Synth plus a few drum machines. What about the Daw features...and button
XLR inputs are always mono. You will need 2 inputs for stereo. And the DAW button is for connecting the mixer to your DAW to control the DAW with the x32 or m32. It does not add features and can only control minimum features of the DAW itself. More of a gimmick than anything lol. I don't know anyone who uses this feature. Cheers
Go to the effects tab, select your reverb and send it to whichever bus you prefer, then you can change the reverb settings on the effects tab. To use the reverb, turn your reverb bus channel fader up as well with what input the bus is sending to
Can I receive a stereo signal in my inear monitor by using only one of the 16 XLR physical outputs that the mixer has? Or would I need to use 2 physical XLR outputs?? Sorry for my ignorance
What do I lose with „non live” version of m32 or m32r? Can I record concert on non live version on standard usb ssd or laptop? Lack of sd slots are only difference? Thank You
Yes. You can always record multitrack to a computer using the USB interface card in the back via USB cable. If you have the USB interface with the SD card slots in it as well then you don't need to bring a computer to record multitrack. BUT!!! The SD card recordings have failed many times! A lot of people who used them stopped because they are not reliable and you only get one shot at recording a live show. USE A COMPUTER!! I took my X-LIVE card out and went back to the factory card just for this reason. Don't waste the 250 bucks on the SD card version. Cheers
Omg thanks for this intro. I'm also getting into digital mixers. I work at a college theatre so being able to select inputs and send different sounds to different monitors is very important for me to do. I'm coming off of an older digital board but if I got this right, I can use the BUS sends to select inputs and send it to specifc monitors, right? How/where do you control the volume for the AUX outputs and can I use this to send inputs to my monitors on stage and backstage? Thank you again. This intro definitely helped me.
thanks Brian for bringing this incredible video. Have 1 question please: With a 2 channel input i need to bring sound to 6 outputs (3x stereo) but want a roll-over effect. Did this manually until now, but need to run the lights at same time… Can i automate teh faders to go up and down automatically?
How do I route my sound card inputs so I can record 32/32 channels while using the DL 32 stage box. I know how to route it out but how do I see the inputs to the card?
The inputs to the CARD are whatever inputs you have chosen for the board. If you have all INPUT banks set to AES50 (because you are using the dl32), then those ARE the card inputs. It's the CARD OUTS you have to set to AES50 as well. Just keep them matched and whatever you have coming in the board will go out the card. If you use local ins, then set the CARD outs to local... Hope you have it down by now but if not I hope this helps.
Is there something we didn't cover in this video? Let us know! 😄
@i Jamguitar the recording tap is PRE - right off the pre-amp... you can use the p16 routing to get 16 channels of POST eq if you wanna track that. Otherwise, on playback , you will be hitting all the channel post when routing back through the console...
The ‘ASSIGN’ Section was not covered. 🎃✌🏻
Hi, right at the end you mentioned groupings. Mind explaining how do we assign individual channels to a group?
maybe fader flip?
The De-esser and the lack of it in this video
This was my crash course on how to operate a Midas M32 console. Thank you very much for uploading this!!!!

Agree!
We upgraded our Church's audio mixer to a Midas M32 and are really excited to begin using it this week to glorify our Lord 🙌🏽
Just sent this video to someone who wants to shadow as an introduction to this desk.
Already threw them in the deep end by letting them mix a support with my support.
So I know this video is going to hit he mark now, thank you.
Thanks this might be the best walk thru thus far
THIS IS AMAZING! I'm working on this console this week for the first time and this is the perfect tutorial. Thank you so much.
This video is a great overview of functionality and operating the mixer. It is easy to understand even for foreigners! Thank you for making it! Especially, routing and safes was interesting because I didn't use it a lot.
Using this desk for work soon, this was everything i need to feel good about it thanks v much

My Church just got this board switching entirely to digital. Enjoy learning something new 😃👍
It's my prayer to know a lot on Midas m32. Now my prayer is answer . Thank you so much and l need more training on this 🙏
Very happy to have helped !
I'm trying to learn this board myself for our Church. I've never used one or done this before but I found this video very helpful.
Hey Will, glad it was helpful! :)
@@RedOneMusicCanada Would you happen to have a video on livestream audio out using a laptop connected to Mixer?

Phantom power won’t “break” a ribbon mic. Dave Rat has a video on this, if you want to make sure.
The best choice behringer x32 and the Midas M32
Excellent video, very well explained
Thank you!
very educational
Glad it helped !

How to best way to use teh mixer with a external preamp like that neve?
Thx in advance
I had a opportunity to use this gear.
Have you tried any of yhe other mixingboards in the sae price genre like the Yamaha TF-series, Presonus StudioLive or such?
Still think this is kinda pricey compared to the opponents. Any idea why?
I need a video on Multitrack recording
I have a Midas 32 live myself. I'm in love with the gooseneck microphone that you've connected. What model is that?
Recently we've been using this one, and we've been really happy with it! musicredone.com/collections/live-microphones/products/sennheiser-meg-14-40-l-ii-b-gooseneck-microphone-xlr-5-pin-green-light-ring :)
Is this mixer good as the Allen & Heath SQ 6 and sound quality? Can I add the Dante card to the board?
Gracias buen gringo!
Thanks!
small detail is not the use of neutrik powercon
Why does it sound like he was in a gym bathroom?
Anyway this is a solid overview.
... maybe it is a gym bathroom... best place to do a gig :-) he did a great overview as you mentioned
Good review
Interested in the 8 channel 96khz recording...on the sd card or usb? Cheers great review.
Thank You. Does Midas m32r allow to play live bands reherslals through DAW with plugins? Won't be latency issue with 24b/48khz?
what about DAW mixing for studio one?
Thank you so much for this video. Learnt a lot as I am new to digital consoles. However, am having a hard time deciding which console to buy.

How to increase the bass of my keyboard in this mixer ? Someone pls explain.
it's it possible to route main out locally but all other outs (for monitors) via the DL32?
i only know the unity gain for that is -18 if im not mistaken..
Tell me how I can connect a laptop to a mixer and record a multitrack in reaper
