Nice to hear from others without issues. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you! I will.

You’re welcome!

Guess they really did just have some admin nonsense to do. But it woulda been nice of them to let folks know. It’s a popular line of mixers and a popular app. They had to know people would notice.

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Hi Marcus, I'm sorry you're having issues. If you followed the tutorial step-by-step you should be good to go. That being said, Please check that your bit-depth and sample rate in your Logic session are matching with your mixer settings. Also, I've encountered a few people who had to do the following: Open your system settings on your Mac click on PRIVACY & SECURITY click on MICROHPONE make sure that Logic has been granted access to use your microphone. The UI24 becomes a "microphone" when connected to your system so if Logic doesn't have access, it could potentially stop you from getting signal. Let me know if this solved your issue. If it doesn't, please try another USB cable. This is often the problem. There is no guarantee this is your problem but it is a common one. If you can try another available cable before buying a new one, I recommend that before spending money.

Hi, Unfortunately I’m not sure. The community just became aware of this yesterday. I’ve got an inquiry out with Behringer through their forums but I haven’t heard anything back yet. I don’t want to post anything without actual answers. As soon as I hear something, I’ll let everyone know.

FYI. Got an answer from Behringer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKS7c6pvpNOCntU Just admin.

Thank you so much!

Lol.

Hi Joe, I’m hoping to do some extended testing over the next couple of weeks, to see if anything jumps out at me. Though I think this is going to be difficult as I’ve never been able to reproduce the issues that others have experienced with their ui24’s. At any rate, I’ll post anything I discover. If you run the update and notice any improvements right away, please post about it. Thanks for watching!

Just curious. What USB issues have you had while tracking?

@@QuickEZ With the tracking set to 24bit and recording 18 tracks the unit came with a popup saying that a faster USB stick is required, the ones I use should be fast enough though.

Ahhhh gotcha. This is actually an issue that is common with some other equipment. Specifically the Blackmagic ATEM mini ISO line of video switchers. They have a very specific requirement for write speed and cache especially when maxing out the record capabilities. And they have a list of specific drives that will work for their ISO line. People are constantly picking up drives that appear to meet that write-speed requirement, but in actuality, the drives are too slow when maxing out the channels and are not on the approved list. It's a question EVERY.SINGLE.DAY in the ATEM forums. Lots of folks are using SSD drives instead of thumb drives with the UI24, connecting them with a powered usb-hub and having very good success that way. I believe the Samsung T7's are a common SSD for this purpose, but don't quote me on that yet. I'd have to dive back into some forum conversations to guarantee thats what folks have been using. Let me know if you're interested in going that route and I'll see what I can find for you.

@@QuickEZ I was actually thinking to use an SSD, since I know they are fast enough for much more than those few tracks, I’m pretty much on pair in which disks and casing (controller) to use, thanks though. Read/Write on my USB sticks should do, they don’t go much faster, but I kinda suspected that USB sticks might run into issues, the work for 20 tracks at 16bit though. Btw. you can use all available space supported by FAT32, but I guess you already know. I used Rufus to quickly format my sticks.

Thanks Ken! Do you actually remember that Sesame Street clip? That song has been stuck on loop in my head for the last 47 years… 😆

@@QuickEZ i remember, i still sing it out loud every now & then, the rolling pin ball, classic

Hi a1, Thanks very much! I’m glad this was helpful to you. Let me know what you want to see about gain and I’ll add it to my list of videos. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

You’re welcome. Thank YOU for watching!

Hi Greg, In the xair edit software, Click the setup button Click the audio/midi tab Select USB Interface 18/18 That should fix it for you! Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Hi 88, Are you connecting to pro tools? I believe that DAW has a limit of 4 controllers. Other DAWs I’m not sure of their limits. There may not be any. Also, if you are using multiple extenders or multiple universals, with pro tools then you should watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iom0e3luiseif7Msi=r6VzuuOyRS4ewHW0 Pro tools will NOT recognize multiples of the same controller. So you need to use RTP midi to get around the issue on PC. If you’re on MAC the. The k structures are the same but you use apples built-in Ethernet midi software. You can see that software in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5yblYh9jtSprtEsi=RpoHC6f1lFhWbQuV Around the 2:27 mark you’ll how to open the MAC version of rtp midi

@QuickEZ I used Cubase 13 / ST1.6 / Ableton. I stopped using PT years ago. The ego system is more than I want to pay. I'm using 3 XTouches with no issues, I just want to add more extenders. I just watched a video with 2 XTouches and a UCF1 working Flawless using Cubase and Nuendo Simultaneously with Falcon 3 midi in to separate keyboards, triggering appegators from the Falcon!

I saw a video with 6 ICON PROS connected. Now, the XTouch does everything the ICons due for a little less than one-third of the price. So I think I can do the same.

Totally understand. PT is expensive. I don’t know the other DAW controller limits but based on what you’ve already seen accomplished, it sounds like the limits are quite high, or non-existent. Let me know if you’re able to accomplish what you’re trying to do. I’m very interested!

@QuickEZ I will thank you for responding so quickly. Your content is very informing you have a new follower!💯

Sure. I can give you a hand. Hit me up at [email protected]

I responded to your email. Just making sure you got it.

Hi Kenneth, Yes you can do that. If you look in your patching screen under HW OUTS and you will see: H1 L H1 R H2 L H2 R just patch your signal to whichever headphone outputs you want. You can send you virtual auxes 9/10 to a headphone output if you’ve used up your other auxes already. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Most outputs in mixers in general are mono, unless otherwise noted (like phone outputs). If you want stereo output from auxes to a (separate) headphone amp, you'll need to use two auxes and stereo link them in the sofware so they output a stereo signal (one aux is L and the other is R). The stereo link step is really important, otherwise you'll just get dual mono from those auxes. To link auxes in stereo on the Ui24R you hold click on the aux output name in the mix or aux sends view and select "stereo link". Note that you can only link odd (L) + even (R) outputs. i.e.: aux 1 + aux 2, aux 3 + aux 4, aux 5 + aux 6, etc. You can't link aux 2 + aux 3 in stereo, for example.

Hi Fernando, Off the top of my head I don’t know the actual answer to this. Maybe port 18 for message send protocol?! I’d have to test this to give you a definitive answer. Unfortunately, I can’t test this until next week. If you happen to try that, let me know if you have any success. Thanks for watching the video.

@@QuickEZ I've been testing.... but i heard something about ports 10024 and 10023 TCP/UDP

Let me know if you have luck with those ports. I’m hoping I can test this either Thursday or Friday. Just curious, are you wanting to connect an xtouch across subnets to the mixer? Or are you just trying to connect the App to the mixer across your subnets? Have you actually tried a route across the subnets to see if your firewall is actually blocking your connection ?

Hi, It depends what you're trying to do. If all you want is a copy of your full "LIVE" mix, then you just need to record the main L/R into your daw. This will already have any FX you are using, in the mix. Your main L/R shows up on the first two USB sends by default, so you just have to set your DAW to record inputs 1 and 2. If you want independent channel and FX you can do a couple of workarounds. 1. send all your independent channels to your DAW and then send a copy of ONLY your FX to two of your Auxes. for example Aux 7 and Aux 8. Each Aux shows up automatically in your USB sends on channels 3 through 10 and you just need to tell your DAW to record whichever channel you want. This gives you all your instruments and your FX to mix together in your DAW. This is not a perfect method as you may have more than 1 FX mixed together on those auxes if you only have 1 or 2 auxes free. However, if you have additional auxes available, then you could send a single FX on each available Aux so you have control. For example: FX 1 goes to Aux 5 FX 2 goes to Aux 6 FX 3 goes to Aux 7 FX4 goes to Aux 8 2. Send all your independent channels to your DAW and then record a copy of your full L/R mix to your DAW as well. Again, this is not a perfect solution but it would give you your full "Live now" mix AND your independent channels. I hope this helps. thanks for watching and happy mixing!

@@QuickEZ thank you so much, can you make a video of this 2 methods when you have time? i'd like to see step by step graphical windows... thank you! am i asking so much? there aren't video about this on KZbin i think you ll have a lot of views, more like and subscriptions. could be a idea?

I sure can!! It’ll take a week for sure. Possibly two weeks. I’m away from home this weekend and don’t have any gear with me. But I’ll get them done, step-by-step. I’ve been meaning to do this exact topic AND some step-by-step cascade videos for the 24. And if you need them, guaranteed there are others looking for the same thing. Thanks for the suggestion and stand by for the videos…

@QuickEZ thank you so much. i still dont have that mixer,i m planning to buy. i sometime use my friend s one. if you create this video please write it here please.... thank you sooo much

Will do.

Hi, The XR 16 cannot be used as an audio interface with your computer. Only the 18 has that capability. Sorry, I know that’s not the answer you were looking for. Thanks for watching!

Fantastic! I'd love to see your setup. If you feel so inclined, send me a couple of photos at [email protected] thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Thanks Midi Man, that means a lot. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your studio!!

Well, not exactly what I was hoping to fix for everyone when I made the video…but if it at least helped you know what to disconnect and clean then I’ll call that a win! Glad you’re up and running. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Awesome! I’m thrilled it solved your issues. Thanks for watching and happy playing Big Band Of Boom!!

Hi, If I understand your question correctly. You want to send an effect to your bus that is different from what is going to your main bus. You can watch this video, and read my explanation below. HOW TO SEND YOUR FX TO YOUR MONITOR MIXES - BEHRINGER XR kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKKxhpJ9d6p0n68 Choose a different effect slot. Send your instrument or microphone to that effect and make the adjustments you want. Then choose your aux that you want, and send the fx return fader to that bus. You will need to send that effect to your bus Pre-fader. To avoid sending it to your main as well. I hope that helps minutes not clear, please let me know. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

@@QuickEZ exactly. I’ve tried to experiment with having a dry signal on the LR (main out) and wet signal in my IEMs. independently

Well that video I linked will show you exactly how to do that. Let me know if you have any trouble and I’ll do my best to help you.

@@QuickEZ thanks a lot 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Lol. Thanks Ken!

Thank you Rico! And thanks for watching. Happy mixing!

Hi warhamster, I feel that pain!! When I got my Behringer XR mixer I hummed and hawed about whether to get the 16 or the 18. I got the 16 and kicked myself repeatedly for not choosing the 18. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Hi Nicolas, The short answer is “no”. The long answer; If you happen to have an empty channel that you are not using. Duplicate the input for the channel you specifically want to EQ differently, and make whatever EQ changes you want. Then, send that new duplicate channel to your Aux and not to the master. This way you now have two copies of the same input channel with completely different equalization, going to your two different locations. For example: Main vocal, let’s pretend you have it plugged into input 1. Let’s pretend that input 20 has nothing plugged in. Edit the input patching of channel 20 and set it to input 1. You now have a duplicate of your main vocal. EQ channel 20 differently from channel 1, and send it pre-fader to your aux. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Thanks for the answer,it helps!!

You’re welcome!

Thanks for sharing, It's good to have some additional voices here sharing a positive experience. I didn't talk about external wifi in this video, which I probably should have at least touched on, but I've talked aobut it so much in other videos it just didnt' occur to me while I was rambling on in this one. I NEVER use the internal wifi for show/event operation, and thats not isolated to this rack mixer...thats my stand on any rack mixer with built-in wifi. The event in this video, I only used the internal wifi to do a quick walk-test in the venue before anyone ever entered the building, and thats 5g, not the 2.4 connection. Once the event starts, I can't be seen on the floor anyway, so wireless communication just isn't required. If it was, I would have an external system on hand, no exception. Not an "old dog" problem at all. Yesterday while I was going my walk test, I kept nudging faders with my thumb. That is a downside of tablet operation. If you don't have a case that gives you a proper handle, it's incredibly easy to make inadvertent adjustments or, like you, hit the back button. The lack of "actually balanced" XLR outs is a shame. When companies make choices like this, I can only assume it's a cost saving measure, but that makes no sense to me. Especially when you compare the cost of this particular device to similar mixers. How much cost saving could you actually have with this choice. I just shake my head and proclaim "capitalism..." Thanks for watching!

@@QuickEZ thanks for the repply. Not sure we can blame the issue solely on capitalism, Behringer is as capitalistic as they can be who sells mass produced products by tonnes and all their desks, analogue or digital have fully balanced output drivers driving both pins 2 and 3.😎 Love your user aimed videos, came across your channel in search for info on doing in-ear monitoring which I'm just starting to get into with a covers band im involved with. Keep up the good work.👍🖖

Rightly or wrongly, it’s my go to whenever something doesn’t make financial or logical sense. It’s more for comic relief than anything else. Thank you! I really enjoy helping people. It’s why I started the channel in the first place. So it’s nice to know that folks get something out of it.

I would rebut saying that the Innovason SY80 with a poorly executed software upgrade was the most unreliable mixer ever. But thats just my personal experience from 2007 :) . However, I understand your dismay with the UI24 and I'm happy to have you share your experiences here so others are aware of any potential issues. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the heads up. I've been completely consumed working live gigs all week and it's now a long-weekend here so I'm removing myself from the world for a few days. As soon as I'm back to business I'll have a jump into the new release and see whats what. Thanks for watching!

I have a friend that has gone through two of them also. We tried redoing the heat sink and adding a ton of fans, but no go. He dumped them and picked an Allen and Heath also. He is happy with that.

Happy to have your two cents here, so that people can see there are folks having good and bad experiences. All I can say is that I have the exact opposite experience to you. My event in this video was mission critical performance for 4 straight days and I had no functionality or performance issues and that has been my experience with ever use of this mixer since purchase. Rest assured, If I ever experience anything that stops me from meeting expectations with these mixers, I will have a video about it. If a client is paying for seamless operation, and you can't provide it with this gear, then absolutely you should be moving towards something else. Allen & Heath do make great gear. Do you have a specific console you've had excellent experiences with? I spent years utilizing the iLive series as monitor consoles. They were workhorses! Truthfully, I didn't love the workflow, but they functioned well, sounded great, and kept on going in punishing outdoor conditions. I also had my hands on the CQ-18 right when they were released. Sadly I didn't have the time to make a video about them at the time and I'm kicking myself for that now. They had a lot of "Great" packed into a really small footprint. Thanks for watching!

@@QuickEZ SQ-5 is the tool of choice currently. About to learn some dLive!

DLive has great workflow. I just got my hands on the sq5 for the first time 2 weeks ago. Workflow seems great. I’ve yet to have the time to do anything functional with it.

Really happy you found my video. I was the same…losing my sanity… until I figured this out. Had to share to keep others out of the mad-house. Thanks for watching!

It’s actually easier with Logic. Use the same steps to set the xtouch mode. But use MC mode instead of HUI. When it’s in MC mode, Logic will detect the xtouch on its own and give you default controls automatically. You only need to go into your settings and adjust things if you want to map controls differently from the default. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

I’m sorry you’re having such a difficult time. If you feel like sending me a screenshot that shows the different I/o options you are seeing I can attempt to help you get up and running. Drop me a line at [email protected] and I’ll see what I can do for you.

Hi, V2 is only for mixers that were manufactured during chip shortages that occurred due to COVID supply chain issues and used a different chipset that the original. I believe this chipset change affected the FPGA's used for DSP and nothing else. If you happened to purchase a mixer that was manufactured prior to this, then it would of course have the V1 hardware. But this should not cause you any issues, I have an XR that is V1 and it's still going strong. Your mixer should function without issue being V1.

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching, and happy mixing!

Hi David, I'll tell you exactly what to do further down. But read the beginning to help you understand why things are different than you are expecting. The reason FX units or FX pedals don't have this many ways to do things, is because they are not mixers. They are simple machines. plug in a guitar, turn up the reverb, and away you go. On a mixer, you are "mixing" together input signals to make an overall balanced blend of your instruments for an audience to listen to. This includes the effects. And on a mixer with built-in FX, you need to send a signal to the FX unit (like when you plug your guitar into a pedal)...and THEN bring that newly altered signal from the FX unit BACK to the mixers surface so you can blend it in with the rest of your mix. It's more complicated because there is more going on than just plugging in 1 instrument. It's like when you have knob on your reverb pedal that is called Mix, or Wet, or something similar. When you turn that knob up, you get more of the effect and less of the original guitar sound. When you turn it down, you get more of the original and less of the effect. Having an effect return channel on a mixer is doing the same thing that the knob on the pedal is doing. To get what you're looking for, do the following. - Plug your guitar into input 1. - on the sidebar at the right, select the FX unit you are using for your reverb, 1, 2, 3, or 4 you'll see the master fader for that FX pop up in place of your main LR fader. - Bring that FX master up to a reasonable level. Then, raise the fader for channel 1 to a reasonable level. You have now sent signal from the input to the FX unit. The next step is to introduce your effect to your overall mix. - Select your "MAIN LR" button at the right side bar. - then raise the channel 1 fader to a reasonable level. Now you should be hearing your original guitar sound with no effect. NOW, the last set of faders on your mixer are labelled FX 1, FX 2, FX 3, FX4. - slowly raise the fader that corresponds to the FX unit you are using, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Now you should hear your effect starting to show up in your mix. put that at the level that feels comfortable for you. Thats it. You're done. the other ways of doing this, you can ignore for now. Get your head around this method. Hope this helps.

Are you saying that you're connected, and you can control the mix with your Xtouch but the window isn't changing along with what you're doing on the Xtouch? Or are you not able to control your mix with the Xtouch? Did you download and open the pre-configured X-touch configuration file? Do you have the X-touch set to the right mode (MC mode)? Did you change the size of the Xair Edit window or move something else in front of the window? Without more information I can't help.

@@QuickEZ Yes i have Download the file and import. My X touch control the Mixer XR 18 but te window on X air Edit not change when i use the encoder Assin on X touch. XR 18 FW1.22 Versioni 1.8.1 Xtouch FW 1.22 In OSI simulation Mode the fader not move

@@QuickEZ @QuickEZ it seems that it is the connection between Osi MIDI stage and XR Edit which does not work. Because if I connect in XCTL/MC My XR 18 is controlled by the Xtouch and Xr Edit works without interaction with Osimidi

This is very strange. Xair edit does not sync with the xtouch on its own. That is the whole point of using osimidi. I’d love to see a short video of this working. If you have time and wouldn’t mind doing it , please send me a short clip at [email protected] Either way, I’m glad it is working for you.

@@QuickEZ Ok I found the Solution . Oups I'm a stupid man because i dont push the SMPTE/BEAT Button on the X TOUCH . Its Perfect Thanks for your Video !!

Hi Paul, Nothing changes with how you bounce your tracks, you do that the way you always have. You need to make sure that your Mac audio output is set to use the XR18 as your sound output device. Go into: system settings > Sound > click on the output tab > and set the device to be your mixer. You will likely have multiple sets of outputs showing XR18 1-2 XR18 3-4 XR18 5-6 XR18 7-8 And so on, you get the idea... just choose the channel set you want to use, and then in the mixer software you can turn USB returns "on" in the channel tab. Once you've done this, the mixer takes over the duties of playing back your audio for all of your apps, not just Logic, through that USB send. Hope that helps. If you're still confused, just let me know and I'll try to clear things up for you. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

I keep telling my wife that. She seems reluctant to believe it 😉 Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Thank you Johnny! If you make the IEM sends post fader then any change you make to the level of an instrument in the main mix will change that level in your IEM mix. Generally that isn’t something people want. So just be aware of that. If you want to duplicate the mix in your IEM’s you can open your I/O window and then you can assign each bus to copy eother the Left or Right side of the main L/R output. For instance; - bus 1 (aux1) assign to main out Left -bus 2 (aux2) assign to main out Right - bus 3 (aux 3)assign to main out Left - bus 4 (aux4) assign to main out Right And so on. You can also choose pre or post fader when you do this. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

@@QuickEZ Thank you for your reply! This is great insight I will subscribe to your channel as well. One more question. So I get the importance now of pre fader and post fader ... If I copy the main mix L/R to my aux send will I get the same mix as front of house gets? This is more referring to FXs. Im trying to get the same mix as front of house with the FX giving the vocalist the opportunity to get more "into it."

Thanks Johnny, welcome aboard the QuickEZ sub-train, happy to have you! :) Yes, if you copy the mix it should have EVERYTHING that the house does including the FX.

Thank YOU!

Hi Jose, I don’t have any yet. But I do have some planned. I just haven’t had the time yet to make them. I’ll try to get some done soon! Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Hi mincento, thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, you can’t make a single aux output into a stereo output. It just doesn’t work that way. All you can do is have the mono signal show up in both sides of a stereo destination. But your power play should have a mono button that would do the same thing from a single input. Or if you’re using these for in-ears, some IEM systems have the same ability in the pack, switching it to mono dumps the single input to both ears. On the flip side… You can turn the headphones jacks into additional aux outputs in the patching page. You can assign virtual aux 9 and 10 (which both have a left and right side to them) to the two headphone outputs which are also TRS so that’s two stereo outs right there. I realize that doesn’t quite solve your issue since you’d still be short on outputs, but you could potentially get 6 stereo mixes that way. If that just doesn’t cut it. I would suggest having some of your band mates share a stereo mix. Find out who can live with the same set of instruments in their mix and then try to hit the right number of stereo sends that way. It won’t be perfect, but when you have to work inside the limitations of your hardware, your band needs to work with you. I hope I’ve understood your question correctly. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!
