Behringer X-Live Install and Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Behringer finally released the X-Live Expansion card for the X-32 family of mixers. In this video, I'll be installing the X-Live card into my X32 Rack, installing the firmware updates for the mixer and card, and doing a quick test recording.
At the time of recording the video, the latest firmware for the X32 Rack and X-Live card was 3.08 and A11, respectively. At the time of posting the video, Behringer had released firmware versions 3.09 and A12. It looks like the updated firmware fixed very minor issues that most users won't experience. I've updated to those versions with no issues.
I'd suggest upgrading to the latest firmware available on the Behringer website.

Just want to say thanks for an incredible tutorial. Really helped me today!
Thanks for the video man! I was trying to figure out if the X-Live would work with the rack, and your video was the first thing I found on it. I can't believe all the awesome things you can do with the X32 I have my Rack unit ordered. Now that I know this card works with it, I'll be adding it to it.
Yeah, the X32 is in a league of it's own
Getting one this week. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for such a to the point tutorial 💯
Thank you for this compact tutorial 🙏👍🏻
Nice guide! Thank you!!
Great video!
You probably know this by now, but you can use larger SDXC cards (128GB for example). The X Live just needs to see a card formatted to FAT32 and SDXC cards aren't. So you will need to format them to FAT32 in a computer first, then the X Live should read it as usual.
thank you so much help me out very much
8:31 -> You're installing the 64 SD-card again! ;-) Thanx a lot for showing the card-update sequence
for the X32-Rack!
Ha! You got me!
@@ManBunMetalHead Yeah I saw that too! But this looks like an old video. FYI as of today, 04-07-2020 these steps are still relevant. I just upgraded my X32 with the help of this video. Thanks a million, times over for taking the time to explain and show how to properly update the firmware. And thanks for the ride-along to Best Buy also!!! That felt like a bonus...
Glad I could help!
@@ManBunMetalHead I was also able to benefit from the suggestion if formatting a 64GB SD Cards (x2) in Fat32 format. Works like a charm.
I'll have to give that a try again. Last time I tried it wouldn't let me, but that was a while ago
Never seen a tutorial that included how to drive to Best Buy
Hi. Nice Tutorial. I haven't the x-live yet but plan to buy one.
For the 32Gb limitation, I think you could try to format your 64gb (or higer) sd card with a third partie soft ( AOMEI for ex) and see if it work.
rohmer william It works!!
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?
what are the roughting setng should be because i am using a DL16 and i cant get any signals on to the card
Thank you for the video!... I have a question, can you can use the X32 as a direct audio interface? if yes, what expansion card do you need to add to it?
Yes you can. The card that comes with the X32 can be used as a direct audio interface.
@@ManBunMetalHead but only as 1 track? The x live makes the 32 tracks individual?
Love your video ! May I ask you where can I buy the rack on which your x32 are mounted on ?
This is the exact case that I use. amzn.to/2ujM6BF
Gator cases has a bunch of other top loading cases as well. amzn.to/2TKPoZy
If you search for Gator GRC case you should come up with others as well.
Thanks so much for gator cases. Yes I saw them on amazon, wow it’s not cheap sure they are rugged. I got one already, not top loading. Wait for my x32 rack and my x-live.
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).
Thanks for your video.
But can you explain to me how to import .WAV audio files on the SD card in order to use them in playback on the X32 console.
thank you in advance
As far as I know, there isn't an easy way to do that. You'd need to import the files into an audio sequencer on a computer, split the channels into individual tracks, connect the computer to the X32 using the X32 as an audio interface, and setup the outputs on the sequencer to the inputs of the X32. Then you should be able to play back the tracks through the X32.
Great video! I have a question. When I put my SD card into the xlive slot the access light does not light up.. and it does not recognize the card on the setup menu. Am I missing a step? Thanks in advance!
The SD card might not be compatible. Have you tried another brand or size? Sounds like you've installed all the firmware and such correctly.
nice vid! question: I want to use my midas 32R as an analog summing mixer (usb out from logic) and record to my installed x-live card. what I am thinking is to simply route the audio out the 8 main xlr outs on the mixer and right back into the mixer using xlr cables into the main inputs. I'm sure I'll have to deselect the input channels from the main outs to prevent a feedback loop, but what would be simple steps to routing? is it even possible? seems like it should be. I guess it would be cool to route it to the sd card 2 different ways. 1 to 1 for the 1st 8 channels. this would only record the color of the mic pres, but a second way where actual summing is taking place down to 2 channels if that's even possible (using a mix bus to the x-live maybe?). obviously, I wouldn't need it to record both ways at the same time, but it would be ideal. I can then take the 10 files back into logic (off the sd card) and compare make my final decisions. if anyone can list the steps that would be helpful. thanks!
Wow, that sounds like a complicated setup. The first thing I'd say is I'm not too sure if going through all that work is worth getting the coloration from mic pre because you'll be going through 2 converters to do so. D/A -> mic pre -> A/D. But you never know until you try, right? I think you could do pretty much what you've suggested, although I've never done so myself. But instead of rerouting the outputs, you should be able to record the output directly to a USB drive on the front of the unit. That way you'll have all the tracks on the SD card in the X-Live and the mixed/summed track on the USB drive. This is assuming that you could get all of it to work at the same time. Good luck!
Man Bun Metal Head - I thought the usb drive on the front was limited to 2 tracks. I would normally worry about going d/a and back in a/d, except this is to the same unit which should be clocked to itself perfectly. I found in the menu where you can prevent the inputs from routing out the main outs, which is one step down. Hehe.
I can’t be sure wether or not it will sound any better than a plugin inside logic. It might sound really good on drums. It might sound bad.
Anyone think it’s work a try?
Anyone one else know the steps to take?
Thanks!
We want to use the USB out (to go to a live mixer) and also record to the SD cards at the same time, but when recording, there is no USB output. I contacted Behringer support and they said this should work. Anyone can verify this works?
How to export wav files from as cad to your daw?
Hey buddy nice video. Can you tell me if the audio files can be extracted to a Daw? Can you explain Please?
Yes. The X32 outputs a 16 or 32 channel WAV file. You'll then be able to import it into your DAW and split the file into individual tracks.
I wonder why Behringer limited the capacity of the SD card to 32gb?
Because its for the X32 *badum tsss*
Yes, I hate these limitations too.. Just as my Zoom H4 recorder is only working with max 8gb cards. Any bigger card and it needs minutes to boot up ;-)
I've a M32R under Firmware 4.06, and I use a 1To SDCARD with success. I have 48h of recording with 32 tracks.
What is that unit you injected the usb to? I want to be able to record our 5 piece band at 3 hour gigs and thinking about buying the Behringer X32 Digital Mixer Bundle with DN32-LIVE Expansion Module & SD Card. Will I need more? Super thanks and great video.
Not sure what you're referring to as far as injecting a usb to. I don't have experience with the DN32 but the Xlive card does the same thing but is half the price. I'm not sure about a bundle though. Might be worth finding a used X32 and buying the XLive card separately. Recording 16 channels we get at least 3 hours of recording time on one 32GB SD card. Double that with 2 cards.
Hello! Can't I run my SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC 64GB UHS-I U3 V30 card? I have a M32C model, I bought a DN32-LIVE card, updated the card itself (Clark Technician), but the Red sign in the M32 Edith menu is still on! Please answer - How to do something in sequence? And Do I need to format a SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB card on a Computer before inserting it into Clark Technician? Thank ..
PS. I flashed the Clark Technics card with this firmware from the official site - DN32-LIVE_Firmware_A12 ... Is this the latest new firmware? People work on UA-cam exactly These SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB cards are fine .. I copy the DN32-LIVE_Firmware_A12 firmware file to the root of the flash drive (as you always say), turn on the M32C while holding the Button / Scroll and it seems that the update starts .. After I turn off and turn on the M32C again .. But what kind of firmware is on DN32-LIVE - we can’t see the M32 editor through ... This is only on consoles people can see ... What are the options to know exactly - the card is stitched or not?
Hello, there are no Turkish names in sd record, why? I have X-LIVE latest version
Minute 2:5. What about the battery?
Battery is only there in the event you lose power to the X32 you won't lose anything you've already recorded.
Man Bun Metal Head. Great! Thanks.
Behringer should update the firmware to allow 24 tracks of recording..
