I've been using the X-Touch One with logic for about a year now, it works perfectly, you just needed to do a firmware update, and then it's all in sync when you switch tracks.
how do i fix the firmware update? 😊 i am on lpx with a x-touch compact, and it is not smooth sailing! 😊 heeelp. macbook pro 2012 mod.
@@GIANTSKY I just downloaded it from the website and followed the instructions on there. Took 2 mins
@@S4f3ty_Marc Mine still not working .. I have firmware 1.10 and after track 8 "Select Bank" appears on my display until track 17. so annoying
@@merochingon Did you switch on "Control Surface Follows Track Selection" in control surfaces preferences ?
There's a firmware update that solves the issue of selecting channels with the mouse. I updated mine and it works flawlessly. But the update might need to be done by somebody who doesn't have fat fingers.
+ switch on "Control Surface Follows Track Selection" in control surfaces preferences.
For the control surface not following track selection in Logic (with a mouse) . . . switch on "Control Surface Follows Track Selection" in control surfaces preferences.
I have the full size X-Touch and 2 extenders and I really like them. I get an occasional issue where Logic tries to assign an extra unit for some reason but it works really well if you switch them on in the correct order. What I really like is plugin mode, where the rotary controls are automatically mapped to control parameters. It's let me move away from using a mouse a lot more.
I think your issue with track selection can be fixed with a firmware update as it always works on mine on the latest version.
I had to lough out loud! Humor is what's missing in the so serious world of audio technology. Btw. the topics are well selected. Thank's for your work and your enternaining and competent videos.
Agreed and co sign 🤣
I use both the X-touch One and the larger 8-fader X-touch at work. I enjoy both, but tbh, for me, the One is a gateway drug into the larger unit, which is just so much more satisfying to use! If you also run live sound, the larger X-touch integrates nicely with the X Air series of mixers, as well. Now I just need a couple of the extender units...
I have an X-Touch Main + 3 Extenders, an X-Touch One on my V Drums set, & a an X-Touch Mini for key commands in Logic. All working flawlessly.
I have one - it does the job.
I did a bit of customisation within Logic to allow me to Drop Markers by pushing the Rotary Encoder (pan knob) and to get Zoom working how I wanted.
Of course, more faders would be better but for the price you can’t complain. I’m not usually a fan of Behringer but this seems pretty solid.
Full X-Touch unit here with Nuendo - works perfectly.
Only negative point is the missing manual, the important stuff is only explained in some youtube videos by behringer.
Quote of the year! “I’d rather spend time recording a perfect take than editing a shit one “ 🤩
Printed it out and posted it on my control room wall 🤡
Haha, that’s awesome!
@@PresentDayProduction it’s true. Another sign should read “guys you come here to record not rehearse”
Transle
You’re back! Finally, I was beginning to get the DTs!
As someone who doesn’t even use a mouse (on a laptop, using touchpad) it seems to me like something that could speed things up considerably. Great video as always!
I ordered one a month ago and found today it's been shipped and should have tomorrow. I'm excited!
You had me at 0:53. Summed up my thoughts exactly. Thank you so much, I thought I was the only one.
Updated: See, now, I literally cannot get that line out of my head, about recording a perfect take rather than editing a bad one.
The evolution of technology really has impacted art, and not always in a good way.
The last time I actually performed in a recording session, the guy who booked it reserved way too few hours for a mediocre keyboardist such as myself.
So I literally sat down and just hacked out three passes, three truly dreadful and mediocre passes, before turning to the engineer, telling him to assemble his own performance out of whatever was there.
This never would’ve happened before digital technology.
You lads are sick. I’ve just had a wonderful laugh watching your presentation. Brilliant and a good review.
After some feedback from Mark in a FB-group about DAW-controllers he used , I bought the Icon Platform-M+ DAW controller. It has 8 channels with only basic functions and a transport section. But it is strong and heavy build and I'm perfectly happy with it. I didn't try out the Behringer though but I can't think about a need for more features on my Icon device. I'm using it for stem mixing and automation writing and in my particular case less is more for me. Kind regards, Patrick Peeters
I just bought one the other day.
Works perfectly and looks great. Also have it sat next to an Audient Nero
My only gripe is having the transport buttons so close over the jog wheel.
Makes it hard to poke them with a drumstick or generally just hit them in a hurry from somewhere else.
The only one thing that I need it's a transport wheel and play stop buttons!!! And small!!! I don't have more space in my desk for another controller (console 1, fader 1, RME remote control, 4 TC DT's and a Midi twister for custom hotkeys!!!)
Omg. The delivery footage caught me by surprise. Haha. Good content again.
I’ve had the full XTouch for a year and a half, and it works great with Mixbus 32C and Reaper. Writing automation, for say, all the vocal FX in one pass, is creative, efficient, and fun for us analog folks.
No issues in Cubase works perfectly.
I really think getting a controller depends on how you work. I ended up getting a Faderport 8 for Logic, and while I LOVE the actual faders and the basic recording function controls, I STILL use my mouse a lot, because I'm so used to it. I don't know if I'll ever get used to using the Faderport instead of my mouse for a lot of functions.
Yeah it’s easy to go back to the mouse! Muscle memory and all that
I love this channel! Laughing and learning at the same time!
just bought one cant wait to see how the workflow is after I get it...damn too soon for a review ...ah will be back
Brilliant! Absolutely BRILLIANT! This type of videos are my favourite, joking around in front of the camera but still giving a proper and honest review about the gear in question. 👏👌
don't forget the CATS
@@daviddeck1074 how could I forget FlopCat?! 😹😹
More faders! get the bigger one!... it will also remote control the X-Air 18 and swap between this and DAW control with one button.... not that fancy proff studio types like you would need that ;-)
If you're on a budget like I am the Beringer gear is definitely worth a look. Would love to hear your thoughts on the X Air18. Loving the vids.
I bought a magnetic overlay for my Xtouch (8 fader version) for Cubase and works a treat, you can get the equivalents for Xtouch One / Logic. Have seen your reviews re the SSL UF8, UC1 which does look a great combo, but as you suggested the missing link is the one button/one function transport controls etc. The Xtouch One form factor would fill the gap until, as you also suggest SSL develop their equivalent.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw their UF8 review
My sentiments exactly 👌
Your reviews are well done, technically accurate and are quite humorous and entertaining as well. Great job! Thanks!
Thanks Pete!
Love your channel guys!
I'm still using a frickin old Behringer BCF2000 controller. The only annoyin detail, it's a little noisy, but to write fader rides it's fine.
Thanks for showing this one.
Oh shit, this video is jokes!! Top-tier comedy!
Thanks buddy! 😎
You guys do so great on your videos!
It sucks that the Alphatrack Frontier isn't in production anymore.
It's still by far my favorite one fader thingy
I had the older universal and aside from the automated faders being noisy, it worked really well in Reason. I just found that I didn't reach for it very often and since it took up a lot of space on my desk, I sold it. I've thought about getting this one but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I'm afraid it would be another nifty toy that sat around and did nothing...
I got the x touch flagship, i like it but if i would know how to write midi i would be able to cutomize even more...like open up plugins amd working with it. Bless
Ah....featured cat!
I have 2 home studio setups. In the big one I use a Mac Pro with touchosc as the controller.
In the baby setup I use an iMac and the x-touch mini. The little device takes 50% of my mouse work off me, touchosc 85%. I've had experience with motorised faders and now I avoid them like the plague.
Can I ask, how did you design the diffusers in your room? Is there some logic to the diameter, depth, spacing and number of the holes in the wood?
There is… the diameter, spacing and number of holes determine how much energy, and at what frequency range is reflected back into the room. And I’ve got it all on a spreadsheet somewhere…
I have bought this a few months ago. The lack of mouse select is a bit annoying, but other than that, no complaints. Hope they fix it in some future firmware update.
loved the part about you being hit with the package.
i have the x touch standard and i love it, also beacuse i control my xr18 with it (digital mixer) and with a single button i can going from controlling the daw to the xr in a x32 "ish" way.
I use one. Definitely an improvement over the mouse once you're used to it. I'm using it in Reaper. The one thing I wish is that I could just arbitrarily assign a parameter/automation lane rather than being stuck with just volume & panning automation.
I was about to put a comment in asking if it works in Reaper - you saved me the trouble, thanks :-)
Very entertaining, yet extremely informative.
It does the same channel jumping in reaper. wish I knew a fix for that.
I own the Compact model. I get lost because it doesn’t display track names. Other than that, solid piece of equipment.
hey! 😊 can you educate me on how to use the compact for automation and eq bands etc? also i am lost on how to update the firmware.... tips?? 😊 🎄
Me too
Thank you! I Enjoyed the video. Nice!
So you have a boss with a bald head and a big fluffy cat who sits in strangely lit enviroment with banks of switches? >cough< Blofeld!
I have the X-Touch works identical for Logic Pro X and Studio One Pro for the usual things I expect. Good dependable. You of course checked you had the latest firmware installed right? :).
Erm…. Nope!
@@PresentDayProduction lol..
I bought one 2 weeks ago in Thomann, after i send back the "icon mini something" and i have to say that Im super happy with it. I will need to dive a bit into the CC commands to customize it to my Reaper worflow. It worth the Pennies!!
Ps: I love the Add Violence in the videos!!!
Why didn’t you like the icon? I had a Platform M for a while and thought it was ok
@@PresentDayProduction Maybe was just bad luck, but the configuration was a real pain in the A... I don´t blame Icon at all, I´m quite sure that 87,6% was my fault and realize that I needed a Fool Proof DAW controller :) :)
@@PresentDayProduction I managed to trash the firmware on the platform M during an update and it hasn’t powered up since. I’m giving it away.
Yay!
Also, now we finally know why James is always wearing shirts from Canada.
in preferenes of the control surface in logci and set ' Control surface follows track selection" that will fix it. Maybe RTFM
I have a X-Touch. If I load or change a project, I have to turn it off and on in order for it to work. Asides from that, it works well.
Does it only work with faders (like the Faderport), or does it work with aux sends too? Asking for a Pro Tools user.
Errrr…. Dunno! Protools is Hui, so I’m guessing channel faders only (can you assign an aux send to a channel fader in PT?)
@@PresentDayProduction Good point. Thank you for the reply!
I use it for Davinci Resolve and Cubasevand Logic all on the IPad Pro! I love this thing! Yes the firmware update is very important!
I had a Faderport that worked magic with logic and studio one. ”Upgraded” to a Faderport 8 and still only ever use one fader at a time. Haha. Total waste of money. If i want to balance the kick and bass i need to bank between them anyway. Totally worthless unless you have a much larger version with at least 32 channels. Then the one fader is much faster and smoother to use.
Haha great! Is that the van driver putting the bandage on? 😁
I (James) was driving, Sam was the thrower. We need teamwork here!
Thank you for educating while also sacrificing in the name of physical comedy.
🤣🤣 the first 2 minutes was worth the price of admission 🤣👍🏽
I've had one with Cubase 11 Pro for a year or so. No problems.
Im a little confused now - did u get it to work when selecting a channel in logic? Because the main thing I Imagine I would use it for is to do fader automations with the selected channel xD
It worked after a firmware update as suggested by a few other viewers
@@PresentDayProduction nice
@@joost3783 I read that part of the setup with Logic Pro X specifically asks you if you want to have the mixers respond to channel changes that input to Logic. The setup video on UA-cam from Behringer explains this: ua-cam.com/video/nk8Z9ps1Hyg/v-deo.html (its just a 2 minute video). This is part #2: ua-cam.com/video/SOHi26sqOks/v-deo.html (4 minutes). Enjoy!
Haha, great vid, guys!
motorized faders and cats, classic, and always welcome
I've been looking for a one fader control for automation purposes because doing it on a mouse sucks!
Assuming the usual bridge crew keep receiving non-fatal bumps, knocks and scrapes... which of the new guys is the ‘red shirt’ who’ll be phasered to bits?
Hey how do you like that Nero monitor controller? Is it better than the Dramer for a 2x 2.1 system? So 4 monitors and 1 sub...and I want to have full access to the sub, volume, muting, and also for shit's and giggles I want to be able to put on all 5 of them at the same fucking time for more air pushing the clients! Yes some of them go apeshit when I do that! And I'll be honest....it's fun as hell when your hammed! Sounds big:)
The Nero is no good for more than one source, or more than one set of monitors at a time. That’s the downside compared with the Drawmer. The upside is that you can adjust the volume without it tearing your eardrums out! 🤣
That Bassline drove me crazy ☢🕶
does this woek with 2009 imac hih sierra??
1:33 ❤️
you guys don’t fail to amaze me😂
It looks pretty bulky for fader. What does this do that the Presonus faderport doesn't do
Nothing!
A lot cheaper, it has a jog wheel, db meter and LED display. I think those few items were enough for me to order the X-Touch!
Does anybody know if the One can work with extenders? Can't seem to find this out anywhere
Yes, you can then make the One fader the master, and the extenders the channels
@@PresentDayProduction thank you, that's super useful! Might be time to trade some stuff and do a Lil rearranging 🤔
Do you guys have anything on the xtouch mini? I'm at my wits end. :(
Unfortunately not but I’d imagine usability is much the same
@@PresentDayProduction Actually picked up a lot from other xtouch products' tutorials like this one. Thanks!
Use the full size 8 track with studio one and it works great:)
What type of desk are ya'll using?
Had one...could not get it to integrate with REAPER...sold it...
Is anyone going to address the fact that you can't assign the fader, or the rotary encoder, for that matter, to perform any automation OTHER than volume for the fader and pan for the rotary??? What's the point? How many composers of music write nothing but volume and pan automation?
why not try the faderport? it looks kinda nice :)
It's very good and you didn't even mention the LED SMPTE display
Yeah that display is great!
I have the X Touch full sized unit. My computer OS is Windows 10 and I use Reaper. I want to sell it because it always seems to stop working.
1:33 Amazon at it's finest 😂
You have to run the 30 second SETUP -- then EVERYTHING works
The unit is Ronseal that’s it simply put. Does what it says on the tin.
idk about this but my BCF still works really well and I'm using Ableton 11. Behringer should just make a newer BCF and come out with BCR-32 already. Behringer has forgotten it's two best products.
Still got my Behringer BCR2000 and BCF2000 and both work flawlessly on any WIN OS or MAC OS and in all DAWS including Adobe Premiere Pro. Get em on ebay if you can find them, and built like tanks. NUff said - Addendum I will be buying the Xtouch one just for the rotary controller to scrub timelines. And the fact that all the keys on it can be programmed is cheaper than just getting an editing scrubber which for around 80 quid anyway.....my tuppence worth right there :;)
You can have my delivery driver if you like. He never throws stuff at me, instead he throws it all over next door's 6 foot gate :-(
what does the space bar do?
I’ve got a b s o l u t e l y. N. O. I d ea
Once I updated works great in logic and ableton
@1m.34 hilarious. superb video as ever
The Marx Brothers meets Shrek
Needs more faders
REALLY like mine! Amazing but makes me want the 8.
4:53 Overlays In, My, Face…
I LOVE IT
Learn a few important key commands, and zoom shortcuts and you’re done. Controllers are a waste of time and a total headache. Tried many.
I use an X-Touch one with Cubase Pro 11 - it works brilliantly.
I read that part of the setup with Logic Pro X specifically asks you if you want to have the mixers respond to channel changes that you manually (mouse) input to Logic. The setup video on UA-cam from Behringer explains this: ua-cam.com/video/nk8Z9ps1Hyg/v-deo.html (its just a 2 minute video). This is part #2: ua-cam.com/video/SOHi26sqOks/v-deo.html (4 minutes). Enjoy!
Recording the perfect take instead of repairing a shit one :D
Anyone use it with ProTools - which obviously will be HUI?
i use it with pro tools 2021.6 in HUI mode. It works great, not as good as in mackie in logic (i use PR n Logic as well) jog wheel only works for scrubing not navigating timeline as logic did, pan knob in stereo mode only detecting left track can't figute it out to switch to Right track meanwhile in logic either mono or stereo track only have i pan knob. The rest is working great
Lovely video. I have the X-touch One and it's great!
P.S. I just realized that I have NO IDEA how I managed to connect it (along with my audio interface, mouse, midi keyboard, capture card, etc.) to my port-limited M1 Mac mini. I guess it'll remain a mystery 👀 (no way I am going to check "cable hell" behind the desk).
😆I hear you loud and clear...it works so run 🏃♂️ like a thief 😆
Ok, but, why not try the Presonus single Fader one?
Buy us one and we’ll try it for you!
@@PresentDayProduction Can I go with my Faderport to you studio?
The space bar is for separating words. You’re welcome.
Ahhhh!Thanks!I’llgiveitatry🤣
@@PresentDayProduction nailedit!
Unfortunately, it does not work with Logic on the latest iOS M1. It works a little- stop start and some other buttons. The LEDs and indicators do not light up. The company pounced on the problem. I reported it to the service and have not received a response for a month now. Same problem X touch extended. In general it is some crap, I advise everyone against the purchase. I bought Prosonus and it works. I have two bricks- XTouch extended and One. I throw this shit in the trash.
