Would like to see the x32 using the dante port to send the mix to a network switch for other devices to access. So maybe the streaming machine or maybe to p16 for the musicians

[@NURREDIN]

Can I do overdubs with this,or is it all tracks at once to the stereo track? I record analog,and don't use Pro-Tools.

[@SteveKran]

How about different rack mounted cases for the x32 producer? I'm trying to find a portable solution for my small band that is half the size of a mighty gig rig. It's a fantastic board, but not being able to find a case with 4U underneath the mixer has been such a headache. I'm ready to return it for something else at this point

[@GeoffClarkeCovenantPrez]

Can we get a version of this for the M32/M32R?

[@sweetwater]

@@NURREDIN Hey there! I may need a bit more information on your entire setup to properly answer this question, but yes you should be able to do overdubs in most any recording situation. Are you recording to a tape machine? Feel free to reach out to chat through your setup a bit further! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3230, [e-mail]

[@DanFrancisBand]

It's amazing that these boards are still going strong 13 years after their initial release. I don't know what my musical life would have been like for the last decade+ without them.

[@stanyoung4974]

USB card is not compatible with USB 3.0 ??? sound glitching, drop outs, loss of connection.

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

ya it’s an almost 20 yo console at this point. USB 2.0 only 32 gig max. Even says it in the manual.

[@ronaldcoleman9370]

a lot of people talk crap about Behringer, but they produce high quality stuff at a much cheaper price!!!

[@musadays8083]

Behringer = underrated 🤦‍♂️

[@kevinperry3639]

Really great gear. Very professional. And a great video too, thanks 🤘

[@stevendierkes6028]

Can’t decide between the X32 and M32. Both are so easy to use!

[@JaredGoodman23]

Midas has better preamps imo

[@metaldemonseanknels]

Go with the Midas hands down

[@Timmyyycx]

Go with X32 Compact + DL32 if you want Midas preamp and save some money. Or M32R LIVE + DL32

[@carlosdiaz5486]

If you’re trying to save on cost, you can go with the X32 and get the DL32 for your I/O. You’ll still get the Midas preamp sound

[@aj.k.9937]

Hi there guys... same here I've been having mic thoughts on which one to choose... then there's also the presonus studiolive 32s

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

1:00 This video was released one year ago? Isn’t that a 15 yo console?

[@ralphgomez9006]

Does the mixer record in any other format besides wav? Super thanks for your video.

[@sweetwater]

Hello, ralphgomez9006! The X32 is only going to record as .wav. Give us a shout and we can discuss in more depth! Thanks for the interest! James Masterson, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1641, [e-mail]

[@johnnyvlee]

Would have been great if the video had included advice for choosing an appropriate USB stick. I'm assuming the top USB slot is USB 2.0 like the card, yes? So even if you bought some expensive/fast USB 3- compatible stick, it wouldn't be able to take advantage of that.

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

USB 3 sticks can crash the console. I would recommend 32 gig usb 2.0. Good luck on your quest.

[@kristophercartier6364]

can someone record multitracks via USB?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, kristophercartier6364! You can record multitrack a few different ways with the X32! First, via the USB interface to the DAW of your choice. Second, locally to an SD with the XLIVE expansion card. Give us a shout and we can discuss in more depth! Thanks for the interest!

[@SynthLordRalis]

I have the 32 channels filled up can I record the aux in’s in addition the those at the same time?

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

No

[@CURTSPEARS375]

How would work with a tascam cr re9001sl

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

I wouldn’t.

[@isaachernandez2884]

wondering if anyonre has a solution for my issue. I use a usb thumdrive to record and it always stops recording and the files become 0 bytes. How can i fix this?

[@tubaguy87]

The Live card is excellent. Been using for a few years

[@nmdpa3]

Definitely a great feature. Like to record live shows to the card then later to do the mix, play the card back into the DAW, just like you were recording the band live again. And you can do it as often as you like. Really an underated feature.

[@sonikboom007]

I thought these were discontinued

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

They are.

[@jonathanhirtle7263]

I'm trying to decide between the x32 and the 32sx. any ideas?

[@RickGirt]

I have my Routing>Card Outputs set to Local 1-8 etc on my x32, and my DAW (Cubase 12 Pro) set to the X-USB audio device with corresponding inputs and outputs set properly. I'm recording audio just fine into my DAW. Windows audio device is set to Out 1-8 (Behringer). But I'm still not getting any playback through Mon L/R or Headphones. Any advice?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Rick! It looks like you got this all squared away with our support team yesterday, but feel free to reach out with any further questions. Thank you so much! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3230, [e-mail]

[@ShofarPretoria]

so we have the X32 producer and the audio sort of stops sometimes for 5 secs or longer when recording onto a usb flash. How can I solve this issue?

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

Drive must be usb 2.0 no larger then 32 gig.

[@noiseoner1]

My usb drive not reading

[@randyhickman604]

Can I track on a c32 producer? In otherwords, can I lay a guitar track down, then play it back and add a separate bass track and do on?

[@sweetwater]

Hi Randy, good question! The X32, while being able to track all of the tracks to an SD card, is not designed to be a stand-alone production machine. If you are trying to send and receive for over dubs, you will need to hook it up to a computer via USB. If you do need a stand-alone tracking mixer, you should look at the Tascam Model series, which do have the ability to overdub, punch in, etc. If you want to dig deeper, give me a call!

[@indiefilmcomposer]

X32 rack is perfect for indie film composers , or small studio music production, I have 12 channels of XLR, TRS stereo in for synths, recording guitars, 3 stereo out for two external effects loops and sending audio to samplers such as MPC, iridium, low latency, it’s a great value when you compare it to Motu, and other similar mid high end audio cards for those not married to A large ProTools system I don’t think you can find that many inputs and outputs at this price point or close,

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

But no faders?

[@indiefilmcomposer]

@@stehfreejesseah7893 I use my daw faders for mixing the X 32 is basically a sound card from my purposes, small project studios

[@abco_music]

Very helpful video! Can you record to all locations simultaneously?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Abco! Great question, yes you can! As long as you have the routing set up properly you can track to your DAW and simultaneously record to USB as a backup, for example. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1793, [e-mail]

[@boallmon324]

Yeah. Right

[@sj0024]

Can I multitrack record 16 xlr and 6 aux channels simultaneously? If so how?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, sj0024. You can absolutely multitrack record 16 XLR and 6 Aux channels simultaneously. You will need to set the output of the channels you want to record to the USB card or USB thumbdrive by inserting a formatted USB drive and pressing the view control. You can assign any source directly to record there and recall it later through the X32 or transfer it over to your favorite DAW via USB for post processing! Thanks for the interest! Nathaniel DeRusha, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3541, [e-mail]

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

Yes check your routing page.

[@JseMagana]

What if i have my bass & kick drum routed to matrix? How can i record both main L&R and matrix?

[@sweetwater]

Hey there! It depends on exactly how you’re going to be recording your mixes. Are you using USB? Or are you sending through analog outputs into an external recorder? Either way, you shouldn’t have any issues choosing the same “record” output for both the Mains and your Matrix mix. There are a TON of resources online explaining this type of routing. Otherwise, give us a call and we’d be more than happy to help out! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3230, [e-mail]

[@JseMagana]

@@sweetwater im using usb i tried using one main and matrix but the sound comes out weird

[@cesargonzalez3599]

How do you rename your recordings from the console?

[@sweetwater]

Hey Cesar, thanks for the question! Unfortunately, the X32 does not let you rename the files recorded to an SD card at this time. You would have to rename them when you get them transferred to a computer. Give me a ring if you have further questions! Drake Sobehrad, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3271, [e-mail]

[@HerrEmachtMusik]

How could i rename the files in the usb recorder?

[@hdww]

Renaming is only possible by bringing in the USB-stick in a computer.

[@grayancyagra5334]

Could you do the same kind of video for Presonus studiolive III mixer too

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

Oh god I hope not. 😂

[@nazerdavealpas7339]

Amazing

[@Gabriel-d1l5n]

is this the same with the x32 compact?

[@sweetwater]

Yes, the firmware is the same on all of these variants so the process on the X32 Compact for recording will be the same as the demonstration here. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out! Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1793, [e-mail]

Nope I meant “Much” like saying thanks a lot but in a different format 😂😂😂😂

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

@@egoudy2 You know his name is Mitch right? I know it’s not funny if I gotta explain it lol

[@ultramet]

Is the x32 compact worth it? I’m tight on space.

[@anwaypradhan6591]

X32 would definitely be the best

[@nmdpa3]

Definitely worth it. I went with the compact over the full x32. I combine it with a S-16 stage box if I need the extra 16 inputs / 8 outs. Also have an x32 Rack (also a great item). Lets me put the S-16 and x32Rack in a small format rack, place it on stage for 32 inputs. Use a 100Ft CAT5 on a spool back to the X32 Compact over the builtin Ultranet. Plus they all can be run from an ipad or the mac or windows desktop app.

[@MoishyWeissOfficial]

Hi , if you're tight in space I would suggest you should go with the x32 producer which is even smaller than the compact , I'm using it for a long time now ,lovin it ...

[@Squashedelic]

So far I've learned nothing. You don't need a laptop to record with this, you can use SD cards but he doesn't tell you how lol

[@ggonzalez1337]

I've been scouring the web for the same info. Not sure how to route to the SD or get playback. No info in the manual either.

[@joshblakley6499]

You need that special card obviously. You gotta change the routing and go to view record ​@@ggonzalez1337

[@xray111xxx]

Definitely the perfect console small venue, or house of worship without blowing up the budget. I had some people complain they don't like the group management, but most likely that is a preference for their workflow in play. I got to use an X-32, and it is really fun , and easy to get along with. I have no application for for it, but I do appreciate it.
