This video is a little old & my set up has changed but yes, I do use parallel compression for my drum shells.

On the back side of the M32 & X32 is a USB equipped card that allows you to send multi tracks to a computer to Record the band and it also allows you to send that recording back into the console so you can mix the multi tracks. A great feature that lets a person practice & mix without having a live band on site.

Wondering the exact same thing

@@sambrewstermusic I have since figured out that (in the M32 app on iPad) if I go into individual input pages and choose the SENDS tab, I can then put that instrument into any of the busses 1-8. But it requires you to unLINK those stereo busses, so that I can freely push the Left fader up more than the right (to cause a panning effect). I feel like this isn't the 'correct' way to do this (because I want the Stereo busses to remain linked for overall adjustment of their fader(s), but it works for now. The M32-Q app (on my iPhone) has a panning fader, but that app is designed specifically for monitor control.

@@HubLocationSound I just found out you can pan instruments in your sends on the M32-Q iphone app without unlinking or doing anything. It just shows up on the channel strip above the fader. Check it out.

@@sambrewstermusic haha yeah, I just wrote that to you 8hrs ago lol Everyone is saying the 3rd party app Mixing Station is the best for controlling x32/m32.

can't do this on an M32r....no send encoders

@@MrStubatCan't do it like in the video but you definitely can do it other ways.

Wow, I'm the opposite. So much better working on the console.

@@BjorgenEatinger I find that for some things the console is amazing, and for other things (like scene management, troubleshooting, routing, setup...) X32 EDIT is 10 times better. Live i even sometimes find myself using both simultaneously (like riding DCA faders with my left hand on the console, while setting up a gate or EQing things with my other hand on X32 edit) :)

In this case, I knew the guitar player already compressed a lot of his patches on his pedal board & didn't want to "over compress" by setting my compressor to 100%. Alternatively, it can be a really cool sound to over compress an instrument & then back off the Mix knob to 50-75% so you'll hear some of the "dry" signal with some of the compressed signal. You may recognize the term "parallel compression" & that's what see here. Thanks for the question!!

@@GodsOfAudio thx

I think I answered your question in this video but I can go over it again. First, pick any free, unused Bus to be used for parallel compression purposes. If you want stereo capability, first select Bus 9 (as an example), then navigate to the "Config/Preamp" tab & press the "Link" button to link Bus 9 & 10 together. Then select the "Stereo LR" button on Bus 9 so you will be able to hear Busses 9 & 10 thru your PA. Now, while Bus 9 is still selected, press the "Sends on Faders" button & then raise the faders you want to send signal to Busses 9 & 10. For example, my drum mics are always on inputs 1-6, so I would push up faders 1-6. This will send a copy of your drum mics to Busses 9 & 10. From there, enable the Compressor for Bus 9 & start lowering the Threshold control until you're happy with the amount of compression. At this point, you can start pushing the fader up on Bus 9 to blend the heavily compressed drums with your "Dry" drum mics. I hope that explanation is helpful. Thanks for your question.

Use a USB connection and use it as an interface.

He's using the X-Live card. It allows you to record and playback 32 channels from the X32 / M32. It's saving them as .wav multichannel files on SD Cards.

It's a multi track I recorded at one of my shows

You’ll have to assign that Bus to the Main L&R if you want to hear it thru the PA. Find the MAIN BUS section & turn on the “Main Stereo” button for Bus 9 or any other Bus you want to put thru the PA

⁠@@GodsOfAudio the channel strip of each instrument like kick, snr top, snr bottom, etc. is not route to main LR? bcs i think if channel strip is routed to main LR it will be double.

Most likely a sub group bus

​@Guccimoney24 i doubt because if you have it on a subgroup bus, you only have to eq it once. You will just need to insert a GEQ on the subgroup BUS.

If the mics are already stereo & already panned hard left & hard right, I don't know that you would need to create stereo width with a FX. I typically use the "width trick" on mono sources. Hope that helps & thanks for the question!!

They would have been balanced. You can use unbalanced cables if you have to, but I'd try not to. Thanks for watching & for the question!

@@GodsOfAudio Thanks yep i thought it would have been balanced. Might be some ground loop hum with unbalanced jacks
