Connecting The X32 Rack To WIFI And Your Computer

[@chucksaeger7500]

Very well done! I’m not using this rack but it gives me some good ideas. Thanks so much.

[@DanaTucker1]

Glad it was helpful!

I think a lot of the issues that I've had in the past stem from the fact that the mixer doesn't even show up on that screen at 4:00. That little frame is blank. I'm about to go troubleshoot someone's unit so I'm watching your video to prep before leaving.

[@DanaTucker1]

I hope you get it figured out.

[@JamesBermingham]

super helpful. 👍 Just setting up my new X32R and this video has all the info I need. Thank you :)

[@DanaTucker1]

Glad it was helpful. I also do one on one training via Zoom. danatucker.com

[@james882007]

Thank you so much. I just took over av system at church and after updating the firmware I forgot how to reconnect the iPad and my laptop

[@DanaTucker1]

Glad it helped! I also offer one on one training at danatucker.com

Dana Great video, what other equipment do you have in this rack?

[@DanaTucker1]

There is a Behringer Compressor on top, a Ultra Pro 8 Channel DI Box below that and a Tascam 16x8 Pre-Amp on the bottom. I have since removed the compressor and pre-amp since that video.

[@fernandolcoto]

I have a network for the equipment and another network for the users. Between the networks there is a firewall. I need to know which TCP/IP ports should be allowed on the firewall between the Mixer and the mobile application?

[@DanaTucker1]

You never want to connect to any network other than the router that’s connected to your mixer. The only exception is if you are using the Dante Expansion Card. You come out of the mixer and into the LAN Port. That’s it. Now you can assign up to 10 wireless devices to your router.

Im look for a rack wifi system. What system is shown in this video. Great information. Keep it up.

[@DanaTucker1]

I use a LinkSys Router that sits on top of a mic stand. I don't use a rack mounter router. If I did, it would be this one. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WRC1--waves-wrc1-wrc-1-advanced-wifi-stage-router

[@chrism3862]

Great video. Question...what would cause the app on the iPad to frequently disconnect from the WiFi?

[@DanaTucker1]

There are several things that will cause this. Distance, router model, amount of other devices trying to connect etc. You can check out a article I did below and this may help your situation. danatucker.com/router-settings-for-x-m-32-mixers/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-for-the-x-m-32-mixers/

[@andreabardi]

Hi Dana, I've seen that you have a Tascam Us16x8 also... how have you integrated it with X32R, can you describe your connections?

[@DanaTucker1]

The biggest thing it can do is act as a Pre-amp to feed the inputs for the aux ins. other then that, it pretty well just sits there chilling out. ;-)

[@retreatatmountainsky4863]

Thank you!

[@DanaTucker1]

You're welcome!

[@MrSpeshOne]

Do you need to have an extra router to connect your ipad to the rack? On purchase we were led to believe we didn't need any further equipment...

[@MrSpeshOne]

We don't have a router in our rehearsal room, nor do we have an internet connection there

[@DanaTucker1]

You only need one router to connect your iPad/Smartphone to the X32 Rack, but you don't need to have internet access to make it work. The router is just for communicating between the mixer and the smart devices. It has nothing to do with the internet.

[@santigottube]

Thanks for the video. Can the x32 Rack also connect to x32 edit through USB? or is only through ethernet? Thank you!

[@DanaTucker1]

It can only connect through the Ethernet port, either wired or wireless through the router. The USB is strictly used for sending and receiving audio files.

[@tommipommii]

Makes me wonder is the audio quality from your x32

[@DanaTucker1]

I don't understand your question.

Can you kindly expand on your comment?

[@chrisrobinson9255]

Thanks for your help I had started learning digital on the presonus because a friend had it on sale cheap..... I always told my wife that I'd buy an x32 just to learn it. question. Im helping a friends church, can I set up a local router that is NOT hooked to the INTERNET and use it to communicate with the x32 THanks. Are you on facebook

[@DanaTucker1]

You should not be connected to the internet to start with. The router is for communicating between the mixer and wireless smart devices. Yes I am on FB. facebook.com/groups/x32RackUsers/

[@omarbibriesca8536]

Does the xr32 have the option to shut off wifi signal. Like pure analog and don’t want to send a wifi signal because your using other products on the wifi spectrum

[@DanaTucker1]

Not really but if you don't plug into the back Ethernet port, then it has no way to know it should be connected.

[@kianschureman2264]

Does the direct connection to the computer only work on PCs? My mixer wont connect to my mac (I'm using a Ethernet to USB-C Adapter)... but when I make this direct connection to my PC it works!

[@DanaTucker1]

It's a Mac issue and I don't use Macs. Sorry.

[@ryanandfriends6688]
