How To Send Computer Audio To Behringer X32 Over A USB Cable

Thank you

[@KosciolFreedom]

THANK YOU!!!! For people who use X-Live and not X-USB, and you dont see any signal on your channels, make sure to change in Card settings to USB-Interface in Playback!!! (in X32-Edit it's Setup->Card->Playback->USB-Interface)

[@AJaytheCEO]

Thanks for that

[@mattiacenacchi726]

wich daw do you use? still have to rout everything thru m air right?, I was thinking doing the same so i can have like 16 different signals just by the usb port to mixing directly in the mixer and learning how to use it in a fastest way.....

Sorry to you if I didn’t explain that more clearly for I appreciate your wisdom of your trade and through you I was able to negotiate setup parameters with my X32! 😊

OH MY GOSH !!! FINALLY!!!! i finally got the PC sound to be through the USB to card 1-2 to channels 9-10!!! Thank GOD and THANK YOU!!!! watching your video for the twenty-umpteenth time and i FINALLY figured out the part I missed... I didnt change the routing to (USER IN) the last section on Imputs .. now im kinda worried that none of my local rounting will work. when i try to use them,,, .. (XLR CABLES into back of the x-32 from the microphone receivers)... man I hope they will work. I have them set on the User in routing screen with the boxes marked as -- local 1-8 /local 1-8 , local 11-16/local 11/16 , card inputs 1 & 2 / local 9/10.

Once the "pair" is assigned, are the ports on the soundboard disabled, or are they still "hot"? We had 15/16 on the Presonus, but never thought to ask the Lead if the physical jacks were still hot.

[@kenzoblytheproducertv4934]

General question about usb not the mixier. Im think about getting the Big Six Ssl because its analog but ive been seeing people run nothing but usb to sum with it. My question is does audio run thru usb cables and if so doesnt that make it digital summing? I love analog and im from the era of running the audio physically thru mixers channels via TRS Cables etc… Can you explain this for me fam?

[@AJaytheCEO]

The humming is from RF interference or from grounding issues. I get a cleaner sound over USB personally

[@GordonGidluck]

I suppose that the length of the USB 2.0 cable should be considered when making these types of connections. If it doesn't work initially try a shorter cable. From what I am reading 15 ft should be ok.

[@AJaytheCEO]

You could cover it to Ethernet for a longer run

[@GordonGidluck]

@@AJaytheCEO I see. USB -> ethernet -> USB using some sort of converter.

This is awesome. Thanks so much! Our church just has the table-top x32. Would it work just the same?

[@AJaytheCEO]

Yes. This is how I have the X32 Compact setup at my church

[@XcluZiveBeats]

So can you record in the Behringer software app? Or will you need like cakewalk or something to route the audio to in order to record everything?

[@AJaytheCEO]

The app would only engage the recording to the USB plugged into the X32. You would need to use a software app to record the audio output from the USB into a computer

[@MegaNafo]

Thanks for mentioning "remote control" usb jack , I was already to give a wrong estimate to customer , I was trying a wrong port 😂

Need help, I have a X32and sound going to my apple PC and we are using OBS for streaming with 3 PTZ at my church. when I am stream I get a delay from the video and sound about 4/5 seconds.How do I sinc it. Is it on the X32 or OBS etc. Recommendation will be greatly be appreciated.

[@AJaytheCEO]

You need to add a delay in the audio but if you are getting that it is because your mac can't keep up with the encoding of both and the video encoding is lagging behind the audio

[@samuelisaiah1165]

Thank you AJay for the video. Very informative. When I go to the download page of Behringer, I get lots of download links. Can you please direct us to specifically which one do we have to download for our PC to recognize the X32 Compact, and which firmware we need to download to upgrade our firmware on X32? I appreciate it.

[@FIXITFISK]

OK, so I am trying to use my MacBook for live stream and for computer music for the auditorium. I got the audio from the soundboard to OBS for live stream, but I cannot get my music from my computer into my soundboard. My MacBook doesn’t show me any options For out one and two or three or four or five or six. And as far as I can find there is no drivers for MacBook. Any help would be much appreciated.

[@pascualthedford2511]

Thanks for this info. Do you think it would be possible to split the usb coming out of the x32 for two computers? We use one computer for livestream audio sent from the x32 to a Mac for livestream, and I would like to use our other Mac for playing video, audio, etc. inside of pro presenter. So basically one Mac receives audio, the other sends it. Would a switch or splitter work for this? there would be times in which I would think both need to work simultaneously.

[@AJaytheCEO]

Not via USB. I would have the second system get audio via an aux output

[@pascualthedford2511]

@@AJaytheCEO thanks for the fast reply! so I've been trying that for years, with no success getting a noiseless 3.5 to 1/4in or 3.5 to xlr. is there a buzz or hum reducer you would recommend to clean up the audio? Right now I have the card going to one Mac, and using your same idea but with a focus rite 2i2 and using the the usb direct to Mac, and outputs from the focus rite to go into aux inputs on the x32. Its cleaner than before but randomly it can be just as noisy. Not sure if our building needs grounding or what.

[@LeuyinTv]

Hi Ajai I do it but the live stream audio is low, how can i fix that, Thanks 🙏🏽 Blessings

[@AJaytheCEO]

Assign your live stream to a bus then send that to USB. Now bus volume for usb can be controlled from bus fader

[@sebringsda]

Can you control the USB output gain? I get the audio into my live stream but it has a very low volume.

[@AJaytheCEO]

Yes you can. I would say it to a specific mixbus and that is the easiest way I found to do it

[@skatebass19581958]

Hey! Can it used in the reverse also? Like an audio from the main house (church auditorium) through the mixer using the same cable for streaming?

yes that is correct

[@mathesmiles]

Hi AJ, will it work on really long usb cable. Am taking about 75 feet long usb cable.

[@johnwelsh2769]

So can you use the USB computer connection to play tracks along with the band playing live? It seems the X32 has to be in playback to get music from the computer. This mutes any live playing.

[@AJaytheCEO]

Yes you can send and receive audio via USB at the same time. I have this setup at a few churches

[@demarcusmack2950]

Hello Ajay, is it possible to record directly to a folder on my windows computer instead of recording to USB Audio Recorder port? As of right now, we are recording to the flash drive and then unplugging it from the board to plug into the computer and extract data/audio. Also, is it possible to record directly to a NAS (network attached storage) that’s on the same network. It’s basically an external hard drive with a network capability. Thanks in advance!

[@SpotlightDeliverance]

Is this just for listening to music or videos from the computer? or does it tie over to the live stream output?

[@AJaytheCEO]

It is both. It is just another way to send audio to the x32 just like plugging in an xlr cable

[@alfonsomaldonado833]

Do you have a video of exactly the opposite, sound from the soundboard to the PC input? good video

[@AJaytheCEO]

We tried the same setup with our Behringer X32 but we get crackling sounds during audio playback (using USB as shown in this video). We installed the ASIO drivers but "Asio not active" is shown (I guess windows media player doesn't use asio). Any ideas? Using a MacBook everything is fine.

Is there a way to Route the Outputs to OBS while still Recording to the SD Card the original Ch.1 and Ch.2 Inputs?

Yes you would just set the recordings to the USB for your desired channels to record and then send the mix to the USB. It would just need to set the USB feed and you should be good
