Hey just found your channel, this is super cool. 👌 thank you so much you are answering so many issues I'm experiencing. We just got a x16 about 2 months ago. Will go through your videos ND give feedback once I've applied what you have taught. Stay blessed brother !

[@AWTechTuesday]

Thanks for watching!

[@CED.Dweller]

@Ascension Worship your explanation of the precision limiter’s function was excellent. Thanks for that simplicity.

[@AWTechTuesday]

Thanks, Cedric!

[@EqDior]

Great Vid! Very well explained! Thank you🙏🏽

[@nathanwoodbury6638]

Just what I needed to know....Thanks Brother....

[@Carsonaut]

SUPER HELPFUL THANK YOU

[@Artur_Chernyavsky]

Hello! Thank you for your explanation, though I didn't understand - do you process the instruments for streaming by the console or by the DAW? And how do you route Bus 5-6 to OBS?

[@kwamedrumz]

Sweet! Thanks

[@beatprocess]

can you show mix channel settings in xr18? a full mix and recommendations

[@agbeshiephilip2685]

Great man

[@Ale845ia]

Después de todo ese proceso, como lo envía a OBS, me gustaría saber

[@jesusguadian2826]

How are your usb sends ?On OBS usually have the xr18 connect through 1/2 and wanted to know what I would need to change? Everything else in the video is gold, including your explanation, the best thank you ! God bless you in Jesus name 🙏 🙌

[@AWTechTuesday]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, most software requires the inputs to come from USB 1/2. -Chad

[@captaincaveman262]

Thank you for the video! Would this be a dry mix going to the livestream? No effects?

[@AWTechTuesday]

You can absolutely send the Effect Return channels as well :) -Chad

[@AdamVitali]

Hi, I see that you use a Mac. How do you connect the desk outs to the inputs on the Mac for OBS? do you use firewire, jack inputs or do you have another way? We are using a mac for streaming and I am interested to know. We are using presonus studiolive 32 matrix xlr out to a firestudio mobile and then firewire to mac (due to distance from desk to mac). Sometimes we have peaked the audio on the mac while OBS and the firestudio weren't. It is just a pain to have to monitor 3 audio points. Also Thanks for another great video

[@AWTechTuesday]

In this video, I’m connecting via USB. This is nice because the signal stays digital the entire way. When the streaming computer is a fair distance away, USB may not be a viable option. Check out this video. It may be helpful for your setup - m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/noqwm4hrgdalmJI Thanks for watching and commenting! -Chad

[@DieTabbi]

Nice vid. Can the Behringer set volume for the stream and for my headset seperatly? I mean that my volume maybe a game is not so loud but the stream can hear it loud or vice versa?

[@AWTechTuesday]

Absolutely. Exact same concept and plug-in on the Wing :) -Chad

[@andym7333]

what is limiters auto gain ????? do u know??

[@ilovegsus]

Great video! I do have a question...at my church we have an electric drum set direct in, and mic'd actual cymbals...if i set the cymbals channel to post fader, would turning its level zero on the house mix and have it up in the livestream mix work? Thanks in advance and God bless! =)

[@AWTechTuesday]

Yes, but depending on how hard the drummer plays, you may have to either boost the post-fade send a fair bit to get it in the live stream or, if you need to, you may need to set the cymbals to pre-fade if they’re naturally super loud in the house. Hope that helps :) -Chad

[@ilovegsus]

Oh, I didn't think of having only that one channel as pre-fader lol...thank you so much, and keep up the good work on the channel!

[@neesie61]

Great video! Can you please tell me the best way to get Audio from XAir 18 into an Atem? Currently, our church is going from the XAir using a single 1/4" into a camera, from camera to Atem 3.5 input. They said when they go directly into Atem they have bad sound quality and noise. I've done a lot of searching but haven't found and answer. I'm thinking it could be XAir is balanced out and Atem in is Unbalanced? If this is the case, how do you connect the two?

[@AWTechTuesday]

I think this video will help to answer your issue - m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6eodn-CmLqpZ5Y

[@sonosthree1839]

Followed your instructions and working great for Sunday service. Recently started to try mixing station app. Noticed on live stream sends there are no mute buttons on the invidual channels. I have to go back to the main mix to mute channels. Any reason why you wouldn't get mute on the individual channels?

[@AWTechTuesday]

Behringer designed that series of mixers not to have on/off switches for sends.

[@TheGoyogatta]

I am trying to boost our main output sound when live streaming through Facebook. Do I need to set up an alternate bus or just send the main mix through the Precision Limiter? Is there any special routing, etc...to accomplish this? Many thanks for your help.

[@AWTechTuesday]

I suggest doing the steps laid out in the video. I wouldn’t normally suggest applying the limiter to the your main mix or else you may run into feedback issues. Hope that helps :) -Chad

[@cjacob8853]

Is there a way to adjust eq live bus 6 eg without adjusting main hall? If I try to let’s say eq the bass on bus 6 it changes all the buses and main hall eq as well.

[@AWTechTuesday]

Not with a post-fade mix like this. If it’s just a couple of channels and you have open channels to spare, you could double patch and have one channel for the house mix and another for the livestream with different settings. -Chad

[@daljeetsingh2963]

Sir good job 👍 daljeet Singh India🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jasoncalafiore1846]

I am using bus 5 & 6 for my livestream mix, where main LR is for my in person audience. In that configuration I am using my bus sends as post fader. I noticed that if I mute individual channels that sound is still coming out of the stream. I even tried the mute of bus 5 & 6 and it still is sending audio. Unless I pull the faders down it stops on bus sends. What am I doing wrong?

[@AWTechTuesday]

My first thought would be to verify that your routing is correct.

[@gelomaramara1441]

Sir it is okay to add gain in compressor of our bus streaming?

[@AWTechTuesday]

Yes, to a degree. If you’re having to do a ton then you may need to look at your gain structure. -Chad

[@fensom80]

I'm an atheist, but I found this information useful. lol

[@AWTechTuesday]

Thanks for watching, Barry

[@stevelamm2366]

Thanks. Can we run a mono stream to free up a bus?

[@AWTechTuesday]

Absolutely

[@gelomaramara1441]

Hello in this video you are using bus for live streaming, in my xr18 i have a bus out slot 3&4, please help me to set up the routing, using our bus? Please thank you sir and God bless you more Last question, do i need a DAW?

[@AWTechTuesday]

Hi Gelo! Go to your routing -> Aux Outs -> Aux 3 should be routed to output Bus 3 (if that’s the mix you’re using) and the tap point should be set to Post-Fader. Do the same to Aux 4 (bus 4). No you don’t need a DAW. I’m using one in the video so I can demonstrate without having a live band hooked up :) That said, it’s easy to use the XR18 as a multitrack device for training purposes if you should ever need to. It’s an awesome little mixer! Thanks for watching and commenting! -Chad

[@gelomaramara1441]

@@AWTechTuesday thank you so much sir for the Help

[@benjdave24]

Hi, do I need to eq my buses to livestreaming like equing the main LR room? Or individual channels eq will be om? Thanks

[@AWTechTuesday]

The better you can EQ your main speakers, the less likely you will need to EQ your stream.

[@AWTechTuesday]

Different mixer but I talk a bit about this in this video - m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqunlHuLiL51laM Hope that helps :) -Chad

[@benjdave24]

Hi Chad, we are using XR18...thanks

[@alexanderrivas21]

Hi could you go from usb to iphone Lightning conector for live steaming ? Direct from usb Xair 18 ? For Facebook live streaming ? Would it work ?

[@AWTechTuesday]

I haven’t tried it. I want to say yes. You’d probably have to make sure to route to outputs 1/2. Try it and let me know :)

[@alexanderrivas21]

@@AWTechTuesday sounds good will try that thank you

[@frankiecorozal]

What software did you use to playback music with the xair mixer?

[@AWTechTuesday]

In this video I used Logic but anything could work, like Reaper or StudioOne or pretty much anything :)

[@frankiecorozal]

Thanks for your fast response. As a matter of fact, great video. Very professional.

[@AWTechTuesday]

@@frankiecorozal thanks for watching!

[@panchopar4003]

does this way bring up the noise floor?

[@AWTechTuesday]

Yes, it does. May or may not be noticeable depending on how hard you push it and how noisy your signal is. However, on the opposite side of the coin, it can potentially give you better signal-to-noise ratio over your cable runs to your streaming device, so that’s worth considering too :) -Chad

[@MrSuperTerminator]

I have a question, we have a xair 18 console and when we connect it via usb to a mac with logic pro x, I have to add a lot of gain to the bass guitar (active) on its input channel, almost +18db, so that the logic pro receives a signal between -18db to -12db, and on the contrary, some instruments have to lower the gain a lot (like -22db) in the mixer so that in the logic pro it is at minimum -6db because it gives me a very high gain in the logic pro, what do you recommend me to do? obviously this ruins the live sound in the room.

[@AWTechTuesday]

Your goal should always be to set gain to your meters - I suggest around -18 to -12dbfs. Set the proper gain and then adjust your fader level for the house. If it seems that doing that makes some instruments incredibly loud in the house, that is an indication that your PA is too loud. This can be adjusted by turning down the amps, or, if that is not a real possibility, turning down the LR master for your XR18. Same goes for stage monitors. Here’s a video that can help you to adjust your input gain without ruining your existing mix :) Hope that helps :) -Chad

[@AWTechTuesday]

Forgot to link the video. Haha m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWWbeoaCftuBaMk

[@AWTechTuesday]

Also, if your faders end up really low, you can use an iDCA to push the faders up and the LR master down - m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGSpl3-Mhc5oia8

[@MrSuperTerminator]

@@AWTechTuesday all the instruments are directly conected to the mixer, no amps, nothing, we use 2 electric guitar with pedal boards and conected to the mixer directly, 1 roland electric drum kit, 1 bass guitar (active 5 strings), 3 wireless mics, 2 cable mics and an ipad for the multitracks and thats it. sorry my english, greetings from Acapulco, Mexico

[@AWTechTuesday]

@@MrSuperTerminator by amps, I mean your amps for your speakers. Or, if they are powered speakers, the amps are built into the speakers themselves. Basically, your system may be too loud and just need to be turned down a touch so you can gain up your instruments more. That’s awesome that you’re watching from Mexico! ¡Gracias! That’s about all the Spanish I know :)

[@JESUSismyLIFEforever]

Hi whats the best way to connect XAIR XR12 to pc for our livestream? Right now we only use 3.5mm jack..

[@AWTechTuesday]

I prefer to use USB so the signaled remains digital the entire way. Just make sure to route your livestream to USB outputs 1 and 2 so your streaming software can see it. Hope that helps :) -Chad

[@JESUSismyLIFEforever]

@@AWTechTuesday hi again, but the XR12 doesnt have USB interface, only the Xr16-18 has. Any recommendations what can i do for best quality sound? Right now its running from 3.5mm jack directly connected to OBS.. ty

[@AWTechTuesday]

@@JESUSismyLIFEforever Sorry, I forgot that not all XAir mixers have the same USB connectivity. On this case, you’ll need a cheap 2-channel USB interface, for example, the Presonus audiobox. XAir TRS outputs -> (2)TRS to TRS cables -> USB audio interface -> Streaming computer. Hope that helps :) -Chad

[@JESUSismyLIFEforever]

@@AWTechTuesday hello again, we connected our 3.5mm jack to video switcher which has the usb interface. Is it a good idea or not? Secondly, right now we are running our bus mix as mono, can i copy your set up on this video to make it stereo?? Even if our connection is just plain TRS 3.5Mm jack connected in aux 1 of Xair?? Here’s the flow of our connection right now Xr12-> 3.5mm jack connected to aux 1 -> video switcher -> computer
