Hi Jake. I just wanna ask if we can still connect our analog mixer to behringer x32?

@@donaldcaramanzana1661 why are you trying to connect an analog mixer to it?

[@ShaBomjan]

I watch your videos for so long time but I haven't commented yet, i just to let you know that your helping churches and doing great work, thank you for your hard work for providing us information and teaching us

[@mikeg1160]

The most comprehensive and professionally produced tutorial on the M/X 32 mixers that I have watched. Thank you!

[@kevinmcd112]

Yes, I watched the whole thing. Yes, I learned some things. Yes, I'm going to go into church on Wednesday night and "fix" some things. Thanks, Jake! 😉

[@shakeyjonez]

GOD bless you for this instructional video. I just started as audio director for a church a few weeks ago and you have made learning the M32 Live so much easier. I was able to get a good mix the day I started running sound, thanks to you. It took a couple weeks for all the info to sink in, but I finally have a solid grasp of the console. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the excellent work!!!

[@JonathanWoollin]

I just wanted to stop by and say a huge THANK YOU! I've used your videos and training to learn the ins and outs of church equipment, and just got an upgrade APPROVED for my church! We used your Worship Ministry toolkit as a guide, and could not be happier to start this upgrade!

[@Churchfront]

Awesome! Great work and glad we can help!

[@ronhoward1632]

I've been running sound at my church for a while, and I have never really got the idea of how the digital system with AES50 and X32 works. This was great and I'm sharing this with all of my people that help with sound!

[@wegdirb]

Thank you, this was very clear and informative. I volunteer as the sound tech for a small church that is seeking to go digital and despite my owning an XAIR 18 I had my doubts about taking on that challenge. This is what I needed thanks again.

[@albertpeka]

Man! you are a true hero. I can't imagine how much time and effort you put to make this long and detail tutorial. God bless.

[@mrhall007]

Getting ready to install X32 + S16. Thank you so much for the lessons. Learned a LOT!!!!

[@offdatgogo]

That's exactly what I have at my church. We got the gear about 3-4 yrs ago and still love it today. Funny, I learned how to program it from KZbin too. The install company was going to charge $1500 to setup and train. I should have charged my church $750 LoL! Enjoy your new system.

[@roughtong]

We have an X32 and a P-16M already. We are getting in the S32, 2 Turbosound IQ-15 and a Turbosound IQ-18B later today. I am trying to figure out how to connect them all together and what connects to what. The all have Ultranet connections so I think it should be simple. I just can’t find any videos that incorporates all of this. I just see people have 2 or 3 of these items.

[@brendokoppschall3542]

Just set up a Midas M32 Mixer very interesting mixer. but glad for the info on how it works from this video.

[@brucelittle3958]

Excellent! Thank you my friend! We just got an MX32 and out of the box had issues which was fixed by a firmware upgrade, but still had no idea how to set it up! This has been so helpful! Behringer need to put you on their payroll! God bless!

[@R2X2Z]

Thank you Jake! Our church decided to just get the X32/M32 because of this video! We ended up with the M32R Live since the X32 Compact is back ordered. Appreciate you taking the time for your experience and knowledge for church audio mixing!

[@joshtu2]

Incredibly convenient as my church is purchasing an X32 for this week.

[@soundersjo]

Brother... May God bless greatly!!! You're a true hero and teacher. In my church we just bought a Bx32 to help us in our services and update from analog (heh heh). Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge God gave you to all of us.

[@jamesgoddin8880]

Thanks, you're a real life saver. We've just bought an X32 at our church and I've got the job of setting it up and training a few people to use it. This course has given me all the information I need to get it set up in a sensible fashion.

[@StevenJonessoundman]

Beautiful lessons! I really appreciate these instructions. Been analog so long was afraid of a digital mixer but now I’m much more confident!

[@asilva_media]

thank you for what you do Jake and the team, this video helped me set up my church's sound system a ton because i knew nothing lol

you came in so clutch! Ordering this for my church this week!!!!!

[@datjuanguyy]

Dude, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video is BEYOND helpful, articulate and informative. Man this helped me do my initial set up for my church's first X32. Bro, idk how to thank you!

[@giovannivitrano8834]

Thank you guys, greetings from Sicily. Great great job. God bless you

Thank you SOOO much for this - it has been really useful today in helping me to get my head around setting up the X32 Compact for our church!

[@markulrich3861]

Best presentation for mixer set up ever. Great job, very concise and applicable.

[@musicjazzvez]

Our church just got the x32, just arrived today! I will need some help to set up. Thank you for sharing

[@wilrobbins7595]

32:00 The tap is different then how the bus is getting sent audio. The tap is when the audio will output from the bus. On each input channel under the sends tab, you can select where the busses will get signal. So basically, you want your bus sends to be prefader and you want your bus output tap to be post fader so your bus fader still controls the overall level for the bus.

[@ryankcmusic5570]

Yep, that part caused me hours of pain.

[@Talentocubano]

Well done I have to set up a compact X-32 next Thursday and thanks to you and God you both are giving the knowledge that need thank you.

[@TomAtkinson]

To achieve 1-to-1 mappings on my setup, I like to "go decimal" restarting a stereo 1/2 to 11/12 (subtract 10) or map 1-16 onto a bank starting with 11, 21, 31, lastly 41-56 etc. Works well. Probably better than say... 33 to 48 potentially (subtract 32). Then again the Midas always goes in banks of 8 if I recall. I love how the faders are so smooth and seem to go forever as you puil them down on a slow fade.

[@JA19962014]

Hey Jake! I wanted to make people aware that if you have a midas branded console with a behringer branded stagebox you would not be taking advantage of the better preamps which is one of the best reasons to get the m series over the x series. One of the best little upgrades I recommend for X32 users is to spend a bit more and get a midas stage box.

[@matlonproductions408]

Agreed. The Midas stage box preamps are superior to the Behringer stage box preamps.

[@RexyFan]

Justin Audia what do preamps do? When someone mentions preamps, I think of the gain button at the top of each channel on an analogue mixer. Sorry I’m not a sound engineer, so would like a simple explanation to help me understand plz ? Thanks.

[@Nixmix800]

RexyFan Google is your friend!! However: Preamps/ADCs take the analog Input signal and amplifie (preamp) them first (duh) and then convert (ADC) them into digital signals for your console to process. Better preamps equal better sound.

[@RexyFan]

Nixmix800 thank you 😊

[@JohnnySutherland]

Thank you Jake. This is an excellent video for the main set up foundations. Very well explained.

[@legatolabz3452]

Actually Super Cool Course for M32/X32! Thanks Jake

[@charlottewilliamcover3568]

Very good tuto, tks. Some more tips (no big deal but accurate info): -for wifi router, you'd better hide your SSID. This add more secure around your network. -at minute 25'28", read In (for inputs), not Ln (for Line as you said) -at minute 1h21'42", to set back a GEQ band back to zero, simply press MUTE on its corresponding channel. To set all GEQ bands back to zero, use the RESET ALL function under the screen. -for the talkback function, I would like to add that the X32 series have also a built in mic that work pretty well (located down left corner of the screen).

[@velvetratm]

Cool video, thx! Nothing new for me, but I’ve had pause for 3 years of my practice as a concert sound engineer, and this video is a good key for me to start. Use X32 Rack with iPad control.

Have you done a basic setup video for the Behringer X32? I'm just seeing the Midas board in this. Thanks.

[@JoychiwenduOnuigbo]

Thanks for great lesson, but I have a question. Can just adjust my. Effect from the buses to the main outputs without the return?

[@andyisacsson7503]

This was excellent, many thanks for posting it

[@cornelgrace]

loving this already

[@drefue]

I understood that the prefader config was set on the sends view of the given buss, which gives you the option in pairs (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and so on), and not on the output section, because you lose master fader control when doing so.

[@robertsimpson5801]

I selected a Presonus 32R for our church's mobile setup, but after doing some research on a different mobile system build, I decided to get an X32 rack for the second system. I have to say... While I do like the iPad app for the Presonus 32R better than the Behringer app, I definitely like the X32's feature set and stability better than Presonus 32R's. If I had to do it all over again, I would go with the X32 for both systems.

[@michaellewallen1149]

Hey Jake! Thank you for all y’all do to enrich the Kingdom and specifically the worship community. I am having trouble locating the “Beginners guide to worship sound” you mention around 2:50. Is there a link you can share?

[@Gladingson1]

You really did a very good Job Jake....You have today open my mind a lot.....when are you going to do Vocals and Instruments EQs.....? I personally need it.

[@repentandfaith]

Our church will be getting Ableton live soon. I will be new to that daw. We will be using it for our live stream mix. We use the Midas 32. Do you have a tutorial on how to route the audio from Midas to ableton so I can have a separate mix for the live stream? 🙏🏽 thank you

[@LANDOYT]

Listen JG… you are the MAN. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@marcusroberts6153]

This video was great and answered a ton of my questions. I can't find the video you mentioned - "Beginners Guide to Church Sound". Where can I find that video?

[@eseog8076]

Thanks for this video. Would you recommend that we get a Behringer X32 and a DL32 (because of the Midas Preamps ) or the M32R Live + DL32. Is it worth getting the M32R Live over the X32? My concern is the length of future Software updates as I believe the M32R will likely get more years of update considering it was released 6-7 years later after the X32. Thanks

[@chrisMartinMovies]

Super informative so thank you, but the effects part is what I really needed to check out and it doesn’t translate as well to the X32. I have the x32 compact and I don’t have the fader section so I got pretty lost. Would you be down to do a version on an x32? Assuming you even have access to one lol. Thanks either way!

[@markjones3679]

That was very helpful. Great training video.

Hey Guys! Good video. Question, what do I need to do if my mixer doesn’t populate when it’s hooked up to the router and my computer is connected to the correct network? My mixer isn’t showing up as an available mixer to connect to in the X32 edit app.. Any help would be appreciated.

[@rhylin26]

I believe the output "tap" signal should be set to "post fader" even for in-ear monitors as it is a send, not where you're pulling audio from.

[@jesonthv2640]

Hi, thanks a lot for this video. Very helpful. I'm planning to set up the m32 in our church. Do you have any advice on how I should plug in my two L/R main hall speakers and 1 subwoofer. Witch bus should I use and how can i configurat the m32? Thanks

[@northwiebesick7136]

Question... My church has an X32 compact that was setup by the professional installer that looked over our setup and then installed it after we bought it for them... It works fine, and just has a digital box probably similar to the one you're using, below the stage with the digital box just hooked up to our stage riser and wall plugs, which is fine, but i have a microphone setup at home that I don't use much, as of yet, at least and was wondering about connection types available... Presumably I could (if I ever needed the microphones, such as for a kids play) just hook the receiver into XLR jacks on the stage itself, or into the box under the stage itself, but there's 2 issues with that, 1 being the fact that my receiver likes LOS without bodies in the way, for best reception, and obviously, most plugs would be behind the talent, or else the empty plugs on the box would be under a hatch cover in a bit of an electrical closet, neither of which is ideal, and 2, the receiver/mic setup is tiny, and over 300$, so I'm not wanting the receiver to get stepped on... For reference, my receiver has 2 paired mic's that can send data to separate channels,(if I want to) for using a single mixer channel dedicated to each microphone (as opposed to 2 stereo aux channels locked together)... So, what I was wondering, was if there's any reason not to get a 3.5 to dual 1/4 jack patch cable, and just modify the resulting audio with the associated aux slider associated with each individual mic? Would that work, or if not then what would you recommend to do for something like that? It's just a Prosumer mic setup that I have that I'd like to have available to borrow to the church when needed, that has line output on the receiver if I need it, and is just 2 tiny wireless lapel mics, with a charging dock/receiver that's all rechargeable, picomic 2/PicoStream if you're wondering the product model name of the mic setup... Any ideas how to incorporate something like that if I ever find a need for it, or ways to improve the original idea on using aux ports? I really prefer having the main unit close to me at the soundboard, assuming it works from that distance when I eventually test it this weekend, after I get my cable delivered hopefully tomorrow...

[@YoshiaBarabha]

Process for taking channels out of Main LR, On Behringer X32, I would like to divert two audio channels from the main speakers to just a single monitor. I don't want them to go through the main speakers only to a monitor. How can I do that? If yes, can you help me to do the thing step by step, please?

[@omilionaudio]

I have a question! We are running 8 ableton tracks out of a Scarlett 18i2” into the DL32 and have a slight bleed into all 8 inputs of the DL32. But if you test each output of the daw individually there’s zero bleed. Any way the Midas could be the issue? It’s the same console here

[@kenners02]

I have a question about routing the PA outputs. I operate a HSD rig, where in order to control the limiting in the drivers in addition to crossover frequency, we run our sub speakers, mid speakers, and top speakers on their own separate outputs. Typically we have just used Mix buses for the subs and mids and have ran the tops on the main 15 & 16. Is there a way I can continue to run each category of speaker on their own individual output channels (tops are stereo, mids are stereo, subs are mono but we do two per channel, so if we have 4 subs we're using two outputs), but then route all those separate output channels to the main 15 and 16? Almost like a sub bus? And if so how would I do that on the console? Is this where the Matrix feature comes in? Lol sorry, long question I know. Thank you so much for this video it's so helpful!

[@mrovi789]

Great video, can you do a tutorial for dummies on matrix's and how to record?

[@jameshughes2548]

Did I understand you right 1:32:01 would I set up my affects based on DCA group? If I bright down the DCA group it “mute” the singer, but if my worship leader is speaking I don’t want to lose him. Can one channel be in multiple DCA groups?

[@henry4506]

Jake, thanks for your service. Learned a lot. What would the disadvantage of getting the compact versions of X32 vs the full X32 if you are going to use digital snake modules and do the mixing on a tablet . Could save some money by going compact. Thanks and Blessings.

[@alfromtx245]

I'm starting a worship leader position in a couple of weeks. I was able to stop by and check out the board (M32) this weekend. When looking through the plugins, I wasn't finding their version of the LA2A, 1176, or Sonic Maximizer, like I have on my Behringer XR18. Do you know if these should be included? Or would you need to purchase them separately?

[@michaelzink879]

Thank you very much!Very Nice!

[@jakubszymanski1558]

Thank you for that video! Could I ask you for an advice? How using Dante can improve the Behringer ecosystem? How do you actually use it in the ministry? Thanks 🙌

[@michaeldrawdy22]

Do you know if this console has a restriction lock? At our main campus we have an SQ7 so if you are logged into the admin you can change the gains and EQs but on the volunteer you can really only change faders, and rename channel strips.

[@unathimkalipi]

THANK YOU 🙏

[@ofthewayministries]

This walk-through was so helpful in helping us clean up and restructure everything. I like having a designated DCA for reverb. Is it possible to have that one "reverb" DCA level control and act as the "main volume/control" for multiple effects returns? Is that recommended? Also (let's use vocal reverb as the example), is it best to simply send an equal signal of all vocals to the effects bus and just control all of them at once from there, or is it best to send each vocalist with a different signal strength to the effects bus? Thanks.

[@Yellowjacket1977]

I am watching this entire video (and other video's you have produced). They are excellent! The church I play drums for is going through some major renovations. When construction starts in the Main sanctuary, everything will be moved to the Family Life Ctr gym (where they have the Contemporary service now). They purchased a new Allen and Heath digital mixer a few months ago. We are planning to send audio and video to the control room via Cat5e cable, which is about 100' away. I'm thinking we may implement the stage box to send audio, and I'm guessing the video will travel through cat5e as well. Any suggestions?
