Behringer X32 How to Use Reverb

[@jamesnjoroge8578]

I like your videos Drew. I also want to thank you for your responsiveness via email. I asked you a question and you were able to send me a very detailed response.

[@Gladingson1]

A good teacher by all standards... Thank you Drew.... You make my studies very easy....God bless you with more wisdom n knowledge to impart people like me

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

He does such a good job that I can usually figure out what he's going to say next because it's so easy to follow. If only school had been this easy to follow! Lol

[@benkinser8674]

Thank you Drew, I just changed from a Yamaha to an x32 and the fx is so very different to apply. I watched at least 10 videos trying to understand it and yours was the first to make it 'click' in my head. Thank you! As much as I like some things about the x32, the Yamaha is soooo much easier!

[@adrianbellsound]

Drew this was another last minute life saver at my gig last night. Thank you for the time you put into these. Really very well done.

[@marktaylor8659]

Thanks for sharing this information. It has been extremely helpful to me. We have the X32 Compact at our church and while some of the buttons are not in the same places, understanding the concept has helped me search, and for the most part, discover how to implement reverb in our vocals and guitar. I think I have it working in the monitors as well, but still doing some testing. I'm not a sound board guy. I played the bass for a long time and had to step in when our sound guy left. And playing a Fender Precision, which has only volume and tone, my mind has always been a bit simple when it comes to this stuff. Anyway, I really appreciate your instructions for us simpletons.

[@lxan29]

I searched all over KZbin and with this video I finally understood it, thank you very much

[@drefue]

I think it’s important to understand that you can adjust how much you want to send to the reverb buss as well. Setting the reverb buss and the returns to 0dB (aka unity gain), you can then send however much you want by setting the individual channel levels being sent to the buss to get just the right effect. The busses can then be used to turn down the reverb.

[@breadoflifechurch5293]

Thank you for simple, yet thorough instructions.

[@TheDonutCannon]

YOU ARE SAVING MY LIFE DREW!! MADLAD!!

[@carsonwagner]

This was awesome Drew!! I needed a last-minute video for a gig and I had no clue how to send and return effects and now I get it 😎 tysm and keep up the good work!

[@charlesthornton9124]

Not related to reverb, but would you be able to do a Video on Eqing an electric drum set. Our church does not want the loudness of acoustic drums. It has been very hard to find good information on electric drum eq recommendations. Thanks for your videos.

[@eirkbrown8841]

Great training session drew, I would like a session on how to assign effects to a monitor speaker (stage) not the FOH.

[@erniesanders3724]

Outstanding as usual Drew. Thanks for sharing this with us. 😊

[@dawithailu8237]

you good teacher by all students thank you so much God bless you

[@mmillermedia]

Video Idea: I am new to all this and I get a bit confused by the terminology. I have a Berringer 32 rack and have had a learning curve on the terms like AUX, MIX BUS, PRE FADER, POST FADER. I know this is extremely basic to many but can be a bit confusing for some of us that are new to the audio world.

[@cold8618]

Such a simple and easy video to understand, thank you for the video this was very helpful!

[@TheDoodostudio]

Thanks again, so clear with your explanation!

[@jeffsilva9754]

This is awesome man, great info. Can you do a video on how to set up a live stream mix with buses and sending effects to the stream...?

[@steveemery30]

You can’t send a bus to a bus on the x32 so you’d need to use a matrix and send the post fader stream mix bus and the fx returns sending to a matrix and then output that matrix to your computer or stream board

[@jeffsilva9754]

@@steveemery30 You can definitely set up a live stream mix with a bus and have everything be pre fader for the stream.

[@steveemery30]

@@jeffsilva9754 you can, but that’ll need someone monitoring/mixing ideally in a separate space, goi g post fade means you’re live mix changes are reflected on stream. This is much easier to manage for most smaller churches

[@jeffsilva9754]

@@steveemery30 Yea I know, honestly, it’s better to put it as pre fader because whatever you change in the house doesn’t affect the live stream. We’re a small church and we have it set up this way and it’s much easier than having it as post fader like you’re saying.

Can you make a video on do's and don'ts for reverb on vocals & instruments? Thanks

[@johnjcullen]

Thanks for all your videos, they've really helped. I'm using my X32 Compact as the center of my home studio. Could you please add some content about using the X32 in a home recording environment? I've figured out the DAW control features, but I feel like there are a lot of X32 features I'm not aware of (such as the effects).

[@philipwalker4919]

That’s great, Drew. Can you take us through how we would apply that same reverb to the Channel 1 mic mix into the live stream, which for us is aux sends 11 & 12

[@baronmusical]

thanks for your tutorial videos, if possible can you make a video on how to properly connect my m32 to a main mixer on touring, and how to connect the outputs to have control of the aux monitors and main outputs

[@jamalgreaves7510]

Thank you for that input on Reverb

[@brettbrocoy3248]

Very informative. Thanks for sharing! Could you please do a video on all the parameters on the reverb and delay units, and maybe how you would EQ your effects returns?

[@breadoflifechurch5293]

Reverb parameters for sure. Like, spacial timing between the echo [Thumbs up]

[@chrislopez1414]

Hello, thanks for the video. I requested this in the past but I’ll try again. If possible could you please make a video with sound samples of your effects and presets. Will be very helpful. Thanks

[@philipschrantz8402]

Thanks, Drew. Can you provide an explanation on how to add reverb to an aux used for IEM mix? My vocalists want to hear some reverb on their voices in their ears…

[@Glorybound1313]

You make this so simple. Thanks a ton!

[@mickeymiguel2726]

Drew you rock!

[@gioz92]

Thanks for the video! ❤ I heard that related to this effect send/return thing on the Behringer there is something dangerous that could cause immediate feedback, with the mixer sending the reverb return to the reverb itself in an infinite loop or something like this. Do you maybe have a video about this?

[@rickolchui6517]

Thanks ....very good vodeo However i have a question ... When i use the reb on the mix bus 13...will it affect the output 13 ?? Eg..my ch 1 is vocal mic .. When i send to mix bus 13 (reb) Will i need more rebvert ..will it make the output 13 louder ?? Or how can i avoid this problem ?

[@mr_mc_the_first6579]

When is it better ro adjust the effects with the input fader instead of the output fader? Does it depend on what effect I'm using?

[@xaemusic]

controlling the level at the mix bus instead of the effect return has the benefit of being able to trail off the effect if you fade it down or mute it. Controlling the level at the effect return has the benefit of not effecting other mixes, such as a livestream mix. Using the mix bus fader is pretty much only useful on reverbs and delays.

[@ghevontnalbandian2064]

thank you for the tutorial. I'm folowing it step by step but as soon as i start turning up the fader I'm getting feed back

[@Enocshow]

This is fire 🔥

[@PJD02915]

Thank you! I just got an X32 last week and am struggling with this. Can you send a different amount of reverb to the mains than you send to the monitor?

[@AngelElDiablito]

Your able to send 2 diff amounts depending how much your assigning to the channel then on FX YOU CAN control how much u want

[@valcic1993]

You cant

[@Ryandoesdifferentthings]

How do I avoid feedback on my x32 when using vocal reverb? Should the effect faded always be at zero? What’s a good rule of thumb for where the effects fader and send should be?

[@joetrujillo1028]

Excellent video, Q: I going to use the S16 stage box with X32, the HA LOCKED LED on the S16 must be ON, to control the preamps inputs in the X32 Gain section, IS BETTER THAT WAY that is my question, and please make a video about it. Thank You and God Bless You

[@helichuck1]

Can you also have a compressor on the mics as well?

[@notyungcartier]

So helpful thank you ❤️‍🔥

[@allourep]

Since you use bus 13 to send to the effect, how do you still utilize local output 13 in this set up? I’m used to having all my buses connected to local outputs 1-16. Am i not able to use any effects if I want to continue to use all my local outputs? I am required to sacrifice my busing to local outputs in order to use an internal effect?

[@edlove3452]

Hello can you make a video on mixing hybrid using hardware into mixer to a DAW thanks please keep up the great work.

[@markwyar942]

Thanks for the video! Can you set different effects and/or effects levels for an aux bus livestream, or is what you configure for FOH what you must live with in said aux bus for a livestream?

[@jacquesfouche407]

Hi I never liked the x32 before becoz of its complexity. I have to admit youve made it easy. One thing I try to understand is why do you turn your effects on bus mster 1-4 and not on 13-16?

[@duanewilson3941]

I have the x32 rack and I would like to know how to bring the effects in, I'm using an iPad Pro but can't seem to figure out how to bring in the effects. Do you have a video on this and just in general some of your information geared towards the x32 rack and iPad.

[@MarioXy83]

I have issue with feedback tho. When I turn up reverb return it starts crazy feedback that is impossible to control. I work on x-air 18 and mixing station but all functions are the same. I don't get it

[@aldinmolina7764]

Gud day drew. Got a problem last nyt with x32 one of our mic cable was grounded what happen is the mic effects that was previously save has. Even lost ang there was a sudden glitch on the on board screen. What was the main problem?

[@attorks]

Great video. Discovered this last week but glad to see I did it right. Suggestion for a video: I use the X32 Compact at home for my synths. I use a headphone and I have 2 KRK Rokit 5 powered monitors. I want to EQ the output to the monitors different than the output to the headphones. How can this be done?

[@joeymayer7588]

I am very new at this people say I have an ear for it but my problem I am having is when the instruments get high i loose my vocals so I turn the instruments down and the gain up maybe a notch or two tops but then the vocals get very pitchy like cats fighting how do I flatten the high pitch voice down and keep them above the instruments Hopefully this make sense to some one Thank u

[@daniel.saulean]

Danke dir! Du bist den besten!👍

[@alexc2234]

Is there a way to fix this? (Go easy on me plz, I'm learning.) I have a vocal channel sending to reverb. I also want to send the vocals with reverb to my EIM. So far so good. I have the problem where if I lower/mute the EIM vocals, I can still hear them come thru the reverb. If I change the send to Pre-Fader, then if I lower the main vocal channel, the reverb won't go into the EIM for the vocals. Vocals is just an example. A better case might be another musicians instrument that maybe I'd like to mute in my EIM, but their reverb still bleeds the sound in my ears.

[@dagrind69]

hey Drew , how ado I switch from hall reverb , to Ambience for drums

[@oladipupoesuola3799]

I’m new to digital console #x32 m32. Gate and Dynamic is an issue for me. Secondly do I compress per channel or compress on bus or main? Also how do get recording to play? I see signal from usb but to no sound

[@pamilyaguevarrasaaustralia3759]

Anyone can help, i think i set a channel into 2-effects (Channel-9 --> Bus 15 & Bus 16), how to remove a channel from a Bus effect? Or how to remove inputs into the Bus? Thanks!

So how do I add an effect

[@NiM-San]

So am I able to change the amount of reverb to an individual channel without affecting the other channels?

[@randykerkman7246]

is there a way to aux sends in individual channels to control different effect amounts going to the same send?

[@SEBluegrass]

Is the process of selecting the mic channel and then clicking sends on fader the same as selecting the Mixbus with FX and clicking on sends on fader and adjusting the level of the Mic there?

[@k2icc]

[@Kamiklaasie]

First of all thank you for helping understand the x32. Turns out I have been doing it the other way around all the time. I select bus 13, turn on "sends to fader" and slide up the mics who need that effect. Is there an important difference between these two methods? The end result looks the same?

[@DrewBrashler]

You can do it either way! The end result is pretty much the same.

[@dodleemosilme2497]

Amazing Video! Hypothetical question: are you able to send a certain amount of effects to one bus and not another. For example, I want reverb on my live stream but I don't want it in house. Am I able to do that on the X32?

[@Artur_Chernyavsky]

Hello, Drew! Thank you for your videos, they're extremely helpful!) Is it all right to set the FX level not with Return faders but with Sends ones? Just it is much easier to see musicians in the left section and FX - in the right one...

If you have multiple channels going to an effect, how do you change the amount of effect on one channel without effecting the the amount on the other channels going to the same effect?

[@urjeff123]

How do you fix feedback with verbs on

[@itownmusicians]

You can Add a hi-cut on the reverb send

[@itownmusicians]

Also, make sure you are not sending the reverb back to its bus, that would create a feedback as well.

I would love to see some of these types of tutorials on a producer version, the scribble strips helps to me understand but I get lost when I use the producer edition. any advice?

[@dariussykes5488]

If you mute a channel would that mute the FX as well or would i have to mute the FX as well as with the channel its being sent to

[@ToddWCorey1]

Muting a channel will effectively mute the effect.

[@ibukunoluwasam-alade1636]

Hi Drew @drewbrashler thanks for this video. I would like to ask if you can make a video that routes/ uses a different mixbus (not dedicated for effects send) and a stereo aux in for the effect return (outside the dedicated effects return)

[@heathercollins4432]

Any chance of cross referencing the differences between the Producer and the full size board in your videos? (Or possibly even doing a series of videos specifically about the Producer?) I know that most of the differences are fairly minimal - I've been able to navigate the various incongruities but having a video would help to reduce the time spent trying to figure it out...Thanks, Drew!!!

[@petedavies8478]

Hi Drew, much appreciate your clear descriptions - really helpful. Just wanted to check if you have an issue with a channel small display on your desk (Bus6) channel in this video. We have a fault with one of our channel displays that looks the same: colour backlight appears to work and changes to display info but no contrast to se it clearly. Had read updating firmware can fix it but no joy. Have you managed to fix it or is it a physical repair? Thanks again Pete

[@heart_cities]

Using a x32 without using faders, say most of the channel faders are faulty, and available option is only prefader

[@TSPTheSaintPaul]

Hi Drew, at first thanks for this cool presentation. Some issues solved here! I have a question. We use the rack version of x32 + SD8 to have 16 outs and use for main Vox channel 17 (internal) routed to a SD8 out on ch.8. Now my question, I followed your instruction and see on meters fx is active but I still hear a clean Vox. on the particular out. What I made wrong? Can you help pls?

[@murderink00]

So if i use bus 13 -16 for my fx, how do i still use bus 15/16 for PA L&R?

[@ToddWCorey1]

Buses and outputs are independant.

[@vocalone23]

[@joshboozer3065]

Hi drew, I’d like to know how to setup a second set of floor speakers and control their volume separately from the main LR PA. No floor monitors, but speakers facing the audience. Thank you!!

Primarily the routing

[@Douglas_Damian]

Hey Drew, great vid. Is there a significant difference adjusting the vol between the sends or the returns? which is better?

[@marijneland3500]

Have the same question. I'm practicing the "Drew videos" in my study at home, and sometimes I get some real nasty feedback while experimenting with the reverb. Maybe it has to do with this question. Drew, please help us out 😅

Can you do a video of multitrack recording and making a live album

[@H2OCincinnati]

Question: If we have left and right outputs routed to output 15 and 16 (because our snake doesn’t have a dedicated L/R), can we still have the Fx sends on 13-16 or should we move them to 11-14?

[@ToddWCorey1]

You are fine using 13-16 because the mix buses are not automatically linked to any output.

[@soundscapeproductions9173]

A problem I see all too often in places of worship for example is people getting all kinds of big equipment without really knowing how to really use it, and as a result they get results contrary to what they want to achieve. My thing is too keep things simple. Get only what you need to get. Aim to create a setup that is easy and intuitive. Presonus mixers are very good options in this aspect.

[@boumansp.a.455]

Hello Drew, we've met before on the internet when you helped me with the X32. The problem I now want to share with you is solved but I'd like to share it anyway. Due to COVID it had been a while since I mixed with the X32 but last summer it came along. In a live gig I had a problem with a huge feedback beep on my X32. It happend when I wanted to add somme DeLay on the vocals. What happend? I let the vocal send to bus 16 witch lead to the FX-4 (Stereo Delay). On the board I set the FX Returns to zero. And by accident I led the FX Returns back again to bus 16. Wow. You expect what happend. At first nothing happend as long as I had the bus master 16 down. But when I tried to add some Delay to the PA (bus master 16 up) there was a massive feedback. I don't know if it should be possible (I think on a analoque mixer it is not) but it happend. I knew the X32 enough to clear the mistake I made. What do you make of it? Just some dumb luck ..

[@GrahamRiverProductio]

I’m still stuck - I get it on one channel and the mains then the next channel I do those same steps and I’m dead in the water. Anyone an x32 master than I can call?

[@philmacfarlane4026]

Thank you so much for all the great content Drew. Helping me so much with getting our x32 set up at church. Is it possible to do a video on managing IEM mixes for the worship team? We have a small team of musicians who might have a different role each Sunday (ie. swap between vox, piano, bass, drums each week) and they will want a slightly different mix each depending what they're playing. Do you have any tips on how to save indivdual IEM mixes etc. I know scenes could help, however its not practical to save a scene for every scenario as it could be different every Sunday! Also, any advice on how to manage changing IEM mixes for different lead vocalists for different songs during the same set? Again, loading up a new scene is also not helpful for this mid-set 🤔 Any advice you can offer would be amazing. Keep up the good work! Bless you.

[@marcbourgeois4133]

Why is this all so confusing?? I just want to put reverb on my vocals

[@socalrockclimber]

For controllability. This is a professional level board so the goal is to give the technician a large amount of flexibility to accommodate a wide range of possible needs but it comes at the expense of being less user friendly.

[@kevinmerino7432]

This is also pretty much how all effect racks are setup.

[@johnmirabile1137]

Brother you said a mouthful. I’m in hell with this right now.

Step 1 is to realize that you don't put reverb on a channel, you send the channel to the reverb.
