Behringer X32 - Effects - Stereo Delay Tutorial

[@amador97caa97]

Extremely helpful !!!!.. Thank you!

[@TSWookie77]

I just started watching your videos. Thank you for being so thorough and informative. Though lengthy, your videos were full of knowledge and explanations. Hats off, good sir.

[@ikkangoochelen]

cool! and how do you set your feedback amount?

[@torerk]

Hello Drew. I am experiencing feedback on the echo channel if I have both the fx in and out at 0. This is without having any other source connected to the x32, no microphone, no pa, just listening through headphones. So I got a x32 not connected to anything other than a headset, I set up all the channels, naming them and so on, setting the echo with no channels going in to it just to prepare everything, and then after a couple of seconds the echo starts to send a feedback loop through the headset. Do you have any suggestions to what is causing this and how to avoid it? Your videos are awesome by the way, really a lifesaver. Regards Tore

[@obidavekenobe]

Great explanation. You've mentioned muting the fx's when steps up to speak. A quick tip is to assign a your fx's to a mute group for quick access.

[@stevempro331]

Hi Drew, despite what others may say. I appreciate your nasally voice. Your a true gentleman and a great teacher! Thanks for the videos, they've been a great help! If I can pick your brain a moment. Could you share with me your exact settings that you use on your stereo delay? Thanks! Midas M32 w/ DL32

[@PapaC0442]

Thanks Drew. Great video tutorial. I have had my X32 for about 6 months now and it is amazing. Your tutorials are a god send. I sincerely appreciate them. Keep up the good work.

[@mrnetworkrealityshow]

Dude.... how do you setup the tap to the delay..... that's it... please 🙏

[@JamesClarke.yt.]

Go to assign page on the far right hand side. Set whatever button to control fx settings, fx 3/4 whatever it is, and then select (time)

[@Realbabson0001-yl4tm]

I will like you to do music with percussion with stereo delay

[@Jinaci1732]

There's something that confuses me about the Behringer x32. I would usually use the mix buses for different monitors. Why does the mixer use some of these for effects? Let's say I have 5 musicians playing and 3 singers, and I want them all to have stereo IEMs. There are 16 outputs in the 32-channel stagebox. I'll need to use all 16 outputs. How do I do this if mix buses 13-16 are being used for effects? Can someone please explain?

[@indianrockstrat]

Does that "mode" control show up in X32 Edit?

[@Grittybenz]

Hello Thanks for your great videos. However one thing seems still unclear for me with this delay. I miss kind of decay for the effect. With this I mean the number of times the sound repeats. "Time" sets the time between each repetition. I expected Feedback L+R to reduce the number of repetitins...but even when I pull it down to 1 or 2% it still repeats around 10 times. All "mixing" options just reduced volume, but not the number of delay repetitions. Any hint about this? Thanks a lot, br Urs

[@rodrigomellonoyoutube]

Hi from Brazil! I really apreciate your video, dude! Just a question. Isn't more easy to use de mute button of the effect channel to give the insert point of the delay more precise and to avoid the unwanted feedback signal?

[@johnnyd83]

How many insert FX plugins can you have on one channel at one time? For example: Channel 1: Lead Singer On this channel, I'd like to run the gain stage (pre-fader) through an EQ into a compressor, into a reverb. Channel 2: Acoustic Guitar I'd like to run the gain stage (pre-fader) into an EQ then into a compressor. And so on.... How many FX plugins can I use per channel?

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

I've found that using the Send to control Delay is like you said, much cleaner and better but you have to be on top of your game. I'd recommend it only if you know the song really well, but if it's a band or song you're not that familiar with then use the Return, it has a lot more margin for error, but the end result won't be as good. Sort of like Steak vs Hamburger. When they're both at the top of their game, you're not going to get better than the steak but it's way easier to screw up cooking a steak than a hamburger lol.

[@leviadnil]

hi Drew! I really like of your videos. you are to be congratulated! if you do not mind could tell how caught his bass drum? microphone used? the position of the microphone? the bass drum is from which manufacturer? gate, compressor, effect? sorry so many questions ... just out of curiosity.

[@tomthd1]

Hey Drew I recently purchased a x32 and when recording the vocals we cannot eliminate the effects going to the Alesis HD24. We want to hear them in the headphone to give us a bit of effect but not record it. Could you please let me know a way to do this if it can be done..

[@gobrad]

there's little point in posting a question as no one will give an honest answer!! Typical of these videos!! I am so weary of these companies hiring technicians spewing out technical crap, making it look great so that fools like me and so many others go and purchase them!! Time and time again I've proved that digital will not sound as good as analogue! Never!! I recently purchased the x32 compact and the XR18 fir smaller vocal gigs! After spending a lot of time, effort and money testing and also hiring technicians online from Behringer, these consoles are terrible!! I recently setup an ordinary studiomaster alongside the X32 and had a sound technician familiar with the x32.... the studiomaster left the X32 in the bin!! Especially on vocals!! With all the hype going on about how great the preamps are!! An absolute disgrace!!! I stand to challenge anyone on this!!!!

[@TheWildDawgs]

The effects appear to be mono in, stereo out but if you had a stereo feed on a vocal, like coming off of a VoiceLive2 harmonizer, would you run into the FX Bus 13 on one input and Bus 14 on the other for example?

[@maranathachurch1370]

hey i have a question how did you put that song from the computer to all the different channels?

[@chrisbradshaw5882]

Maranatha Church he’s probably using a DAW. DAW’s have 32in and 32out recording capabilities.

[@cameronfindlay3894]

Hey Drew, Here is a question I hope you can help me with: I am running an x32 at church, and we are using a click track that the drummer is in control of. This is coming into the desk as an input (Via the s16) Is there a way to use this channel as a key input for the delay fx? (can I use this click track to set the timing on the delay fx?)

[@DrewBrashler]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jayro96jr]

Hi drew!... I'm Jayro Rivera from Puerto Rico, my english is not too good, but I need to know "how to use and set up the phase delay for monitor and main speakers" witn my x32... please, when you can, explain me... thanks!

[@MichaelKPerry]

Hi Drew, love the way you teach! our church has an older analog board and we are currently using a 1/8" - TRS cable to route our music tracks from the headphone output jack into a channel on the board (yeah, we don't currently have a band, but it's going to happen soon)...we are getting the x32 and I was wondering how to connect the computer to the board...any ideas? Thanks

[@theycallmefilip]

+Michael Perry The mixer comes with a built in 32in/32out USB card. You could connect you laptop directly into it.

[@MrVirgo91771]

How are you doing my friend? Thank you for all your tutorials. I wanted to ask if you can add delay or any kind of effect to the monitors. When I do live sound I do have effects in my front speakers but my singers want effects on their monitor. Is there a way to do that?

[@NiceOwl84]

No amount of mixing will help that singing omg.

[@maxpfistererofficial4807]

I was wondering if you can tell me step by step how to send the channel to the fx? For example I want to send vocals to a reverb. Thanks!

[@redherring87]

So could you send the Bus Channel 15 to a DCA like you were doing in that second demonstration to control the level of the effect?

[@ronaldaustin4436]

What would you suggest to make a real dead room with carpet come alive for the choir to make the sound a lot fuller and better?

[@douggalt]

Drew, Thanks for all of the informative videos on this great piece of equipment. I am interested in your use of Reaper software. Aside from a computer with a usb port is there anything else required to record and then play back 32 channels of audio?

[@mediateam896]

I wish you could collaborate more on the BGV wedges for the singers.

[@natalieliermann8891]

I run our board at church and I was having trouble with the delay, I watched this and it helped tremendously, thank you

[@sennysoon]

Hey mate, instead of manually riding the fader, you SHOULD be able to set a ducking dynamics processor sidechained to your bus in so that your delay doesn't swamp your primary vox. Not sure if you actually ride the fader in a live set, or were just doing it for illustration.

[@sennysoon]

Gregsound1 Not sure how to be any more specific. If you know what a sidechain on any dynamics processor does, the set up is plain as day. It works like this; effects send bus comes in, primary vox signal is detected, ducking squashes delay signal generated. Person/people stop singing, no more signal in effects bus, ducking releases the effects return and the delay comes through. If it can be done on an LS9, it can be done on an X32.

[@Dizzydre21]

Why are you using a stereo delay if you're running your mains in mono?

[@DrewBrashler]

HAHA so great! There isn't a mono delay on the X32. Also, the recording and video feed were stereo. Awesome catch!

[@jonathancampbell1758]

Good instructional video man! I can follow you, and you did a good job of demonstrating varying the input, vs varying the output of the effects processor. I agree with one of the other comments here that while the Behringer videos are full of information, they put me to sleep!

[@acriticaudio]

Nice tutorial man! Could you do another one, but this time showing how do you use your reverb effects? (If you use them of course). I'm working with the X32 now and some tips are welcome hehe

[@jorgezuniga5795]

Drew I have a question, I have my x32 setup to analog but I don't understand why is a 7 and 8 bus still controls my main volumen. And why my (BUS CHANNELS) said MIX BUS and not just BUS.

[@semperfiacs]

do you have the x32 full console or the x32 rack?

[@leonel8011]

Hi Drew i hace question for you, are you using the delay for the all band or just the voices

[@bleekblaw5446]

seems silly, can't you just adjust the feedback up or down for the same result?

[@CraigThomascsd]

Could you tell me what are your USER Assignable Controls for Encoder 1 - 4 and buttons 5 - 8. Also why is it that in your other videos you only use the tap sometimes like at the beginning of the song?

[@isuriya80]

How to set ping-pong in this pls

[@mrbibstoo]

Drew, I assigned a mute to the tap delay so I can turn it off when I need to. I like the effect you get when varying the out put from the delay, that sounds great. Thanks for you posts, as a newbie to the x32, you have made my learning curve occur much quicker than had I not been able to watch you do these things.

[@SteveGriffiths]

Thanks Drew I do enjoy your videos. I would have thought a demo of feeding directly from the vocal channel on the channel buss send (rotary) or an SOF buss send (which also lets you us send muting instead of wrestling with the fader) would be useful as it shows how to emphasize a single channel when multiple parts are going to a shared effect. Thanks for what you do.

[@markhanson1452]

Could you use the mutt button to do the same as using the faders?

[@gkcook63]

Do you have a Pitch Correction tool on there?

[@julesbaby47]

Hi Drew, Thank you for all the work you do. I did a gig yesterday using this effect on a vocal, but had to turn it off as I got a slow build up of feedback. Any ideas

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Hi, I'm not Drew lol but I have a lot of experience with the X32. If you haven't had any luck yet, can you describe in more detail what happens? It sounds like perhaps you have too much feed level and it's causing a loop that can get out of hand.

[@VoyageOne1]

Drew, I'm buying the X32 Compact next fortnight and your videos have been a lifesaver.

[@klauscavalcante3502]

Thats a amazing way to teach it. Thank you!

[@michaelopoku56]

Plus what the programme you playing your sound from I mean the the multi track programme you using

[@kimhansen6384]

He said Reaper in the video.

[@crossover8634]

Is there a way to control the tap delay with a foot pedal?

[@TheRamsbod]

Hi Drew, Thx for a great tutorial. I have followed your instructions to the T but I don't get any delay. It just seems to make the signal louder. What could I be doing wrong? I can see that there is an input signal and an output signal but no delay.

[@DrewBrashler]

Hi Duncan, I would check to see if your FX returns are being sent into the LR Bus, also make sure that the effect is enabled in the effects rack. Also if you have a DCA that is controlling the FX send or FX return that is turned down, or muted, they will not pass any audio. Let me know if you can't get it working.

[@TheRamsbod]

Drew Brashler Found the problem the FX sends were being sent to some DCAs. Must have been something I did when I didn't know what I was doing. I do the sound at the Somerset West Baptist church in Cape Town, South Africa. Our desk arrived 3 days before our Christmas musical. I had 3 days to learn the basics. I would not have been able to do this without your tutorials. Only now have I got around to experimenting with effects. This is our first digital desk. The effects are amazing! Thanks for the great tutorials.

[@matthewgernand7947]

how do you assign the effects to the sliders?

[@Michaelson100]

what would be pro's vs con's of using the mute button on the delay vs using the fader?

[@semperfiacs]

so far, it's pretty evenly weighted. unless you have your feeds into your fx so hot that even a smidge up would still be easily audible, you can easily just drop your fader and run it down to turn it "off"

[@tmecj2]

Thanks so much for these videos they help a bunch.

[@ronaldaustin4436]

Do you have a web site or email?

[@theamazingtoot]

Is it not good to use reverbs and delays at the same time?

[@DrewBrashler]

***** Hey, thanks for your question! Delays and Reverbs create a different sound from each other, so YES I will often use both at the same time. All just depends on the song! Thanks so much!

[@jagrdude68]

Agreed. You're videos are great, man. They have really helped me transition from our older analog board to our new X32. Thanks alot!

[@davidoyewale1085]

Thanks for this🙌

[@12Martincito]

VERY HELP FULL INFORMATION. VERY GOOD. THANKX

[@Carlton21488]

Are effects handled the same way on the x32 compact?

[@opendoormedia4872]

Yep, the Compact has the exact same processing going on inside, the only difference is the size and actual real knobs and faders you have.

[@colinohare]

We will be using the x32 in a live stage onstage mix. As a singer I need to be able to defeat the delay with a foot switch can this be done Midi perhaps. Need some advice please?

[@DrewBrashler]

Hey Colin, great question. I do know that you can use MIDI for some commands, but I don't work with MIDI on a consistent enough basis to clearly answer your question. So sorry!

[@colinohare]

Thanks for your reply Behringer replied to my enqirey . it reads as follows: Yes it can be done using midi. You can use our FCB1010 for this or any Midi pedal that can output standard MIDI CC which is configurable. You can control faders, pans and mutes via midi, so you can use the mute switching function to mute the FX return channels. If you want a smaller options there is also a 3rd party option: www.tech21nyc.com/products/effects/midimouse.html Here is a list of all midi CC values of the X32 I compiled for easy reference:

[@DrewBrashler]

Nice! Glad you were able to get it sorted out!

[@shabackplus7493]

Why flashings 40:15

[@tahmeed1202]

man.....that interface looks like ableton live :P

[@dominikwujek4126]

Bcs ableton is designed to look like a mixboard :D

[@howiemarsh]

Ok, you have the most annoying nasal voice, BUT you make the most informative, watchable videos on KZbin. The official Behringer ones, well, I don't know what they are like as I've fallen asleep on every single one! Keep up the great work!

[@DrewBrashler]

I think this is the best piece of feedback I have ever received. You had me laughing... a lot! Thanks man.

[@bleekblaw5446]

The voice ain't that annoying. Good vids. Why is christian music always so unbelievably horrible though? Does it have to be like that? Why?

[@alimar40]

you do not know music ,,,

[@BruceDureaultJr]

Awesome help...

pretty sick stuff! im going to try that now!!

[@DrewBrashler]

Awesome! How did it go?

[@L77kim77l]

Thank you

[@Durbin8823]

Great information!

[@gerrywbradley]

Drew! You have to drop the ums and ahs

[@BogdanCurta]

Bad bad Behringer sound. Tipic for behringer. And the efects ar the most pour like on a 40 $ chip mixer.

[@semperfiacs]

lol, you're listening to a recording through a poor fidelity device and with a gospel mix through questionable speakers. the point was the delay. not the fidelity. i run my x32 through crown XTI2s and JBL SRX, RTFs, and DBs and the sound is phenomenal.

[@dmitrypolovin1776]

Also depends on the mixer...

[@faderautomation]

Very Gud Tips Drew... I would love if you show few more tips on using others effects like example DeEsser, Stereo DeEsser etc.

[@dukedoan1]

Hello Drew. I enjoyed your video s very much. I was wondering if you can do similar video for midas 32m? Also, can you go through all parameters for different effects?

[@tnikiforov]

that would be completely unnecessary , its the same damn desk, the m just looks less like a toy.
