Multitrack Recording Setup - Behringer X32

[@alextorresmusic]

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO MY MULTITRACK RECORDING SUCCESSFULLY THANKS TO THIS TUTORIAL. THANKS SO MUCH!

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

We have been using this for months and it’s great. I will usually watch another of your videos on like compressor or something then go back to the church and use this technique to apply what I learnt. The other week I spent about three hours taking my time on each channel was so happy by the end of it with the sound. Virtual sound check is amazing.

[@sgriffin760]

So let me get this right you setup your computer to record all channels than play back into the x32 and can eq and do all your adjustments while no band or pastor is present ?

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

@@sgriffin760 exactly. It’s so good!!!

[@sgriffin760]

@@DuesGibGolfandLife yessssssss how do you replay it back to the board and it doesn’t mess with any settings for the normal sound channels or anything. I’m just sending the inputs to the card than computer

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

@@sgriffin760 search virtual sound check. I’m pretty sure drew has done a video on it. It doesn’t mess with your settings cause you sending the signal after the pre amp and sending back that same signal.

[@surfin4him]

Drew, your timing with this video couldn’t be more perfect! I am getting ready to do a multi track recording with reaper and our church X32. I have done it in the past but it’s been a while and I was trying to remember how to get it set up. Thanks so much! As always, your videos are informative and easy to understand.

[@NCAIAV]

If you want to have your EQ and volume settings on your console affect the recording, I believe you can set the Card Outputs (2:03) to User Input Routing outputs. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

Figured they would t respond

[@slickcross]

BRO!!! Im loving your videos. many people are still using the x32. My local church just got the small version. I setup the p16s using your videos. Keep these videos coming buddy.

[@wardyrb]

Awesome. Thank you so much, Drew. I was able to record a multi-track of our Sunday service. This was just what I needed to know.

[@TedwardJ868]

Just started using the x32 at another ministry. I’m using the Wing at my church. I appreciate all of your videos!

[@jasonstlouis9871]

Thanks Drew. I wish I had seen this video earlier. last week I visited a church hat has the same console. I was asked to help them out with the sound. I was too nervous to setup multitrack recording because I wasn't sure if the routing would impede on the live session. now I know we can multitrack and have a live session at the same time. I was not aware that you can route to multiple routes from the console. I am visiting another church next week with a Midas M32 and will proceed to setup multitrack recording. Hopefully, I can set this up before service begins. This is the best way to really learn the console and mixing.

[@glenkruger3115]

BRILLIANT INSTRUCTION DREW

[@wardyrb]

Thank you for the walk thru. I was hoping i didn’t need to purchase new equip. I will work on this tonight before service. Will let you know how it goes.

[@stigjohansen9487]

Great video Drew..... Thanks a lot, this would have taken me ages to figure out by myself!! gotta be the best vids out there for new users. greatly appreciated :)

[@raptorbandarchive]

So in-depth. THANK YOU this is a wonderful tutorial for beginners

[@mrovi789]

One of the best video!

[@promisenwokocha9469]

You just made my day. Love you sir

[@seandevenish6723]

Thank you! got it working!

[@indoormagicgrows9486]

VERY VERY HELPFUL!

[@RevJorgeDiaz]

Love the videos Drew! How about a video on getting the input from the X32, into the DAW then out to a livestream. That could be useful given the plugins available to improve and polish a stream mix.

[@uduogah3139]

Yeah. Great video Drew. Would really love a livestream DAW mix video

[@JaredAlexanderStevenson]

I’ve done it. Not bad at all. I just wish I could take the direct outs so I could run it like a post fader mix. Which would make it easier for volunteers to manage. Be able to set the daw stream and forget it because you could mute it on the board and and the daw would not receive any signal. That would be amazing!

[@ahkashi2366]

@@JaredAlexanderStevenson a second computer for solely streaming would be your best bet. I’ve done virtual interfaces that route but it’s not reliable. Best to have a second computer you could monitor out to

[@romdelatierra]

Thank you brotherman

[@66fitton]

Great video! I use my x32 as a recording interface with Cubase. Be sure to include the link to the video you did on getting a post dynamic and eq send from the card to the computer using the P16 outs. It is a great option if you want to compress or add some shelving before the DAW. Especially if you don't have any outboard gear. Cheers!

[@baconburger6619]

Hi! I just wanted to connect the x32 with cubase 13. Do you maybe know how this works and could you maybe send a videolink to me, in which this is explained? Thank you very much in advance, would be great to know how you linked the x32 with cubase. Greetings

[@waleed5781]

this really help. TQ

[@NiM-San]

Can you make a video for EQ on instrumentation, and all I need to know about the instrument portion of worship?

[@GhanaianBluesman]

Hey @Drew Brashler, question, is there a way you could do a recording where you can have the processing send to your multitrack as well?

[@allourep]

I also want to know if this is possible

[@karlplaysdrums]

I do this, and I’m not exactly sure how I did it. My routing is exactly as outlined in this video, but I can apply effects before, while, and after recording. I’m in the process of learning, but I have a loooong way to go…

[@TheJAIRCRUZ]

@@karlplaysdrumsplease make a video about it bro. It would be really helpful 😮

[@karlplaysdrums]

@@TheJAIRCRUZ Ok. Bear in mind I have no idea how I did it, so I’ll show my routing and stuff. Seriously, I don’t know what the hell I am doing! Gimme a few days.

[@karlplaysdrums]

@@TheJAIRCRUZI played with it last night, and it’s a nogo. No effects going into reaper. I was either confused, hallucinating, or both. Or I routed something without knowing it. I do think it’s possible, and it would probably involve the “user” routing. It seems like almost anything is possible using that. I almost caught my desk on fire that way. Sorry I don’t have an answer for you.

[@OLBax1981]

Hi Drew is there a way of recording instruments from the Aux inputs? Love the content!

[@snowkingcro]

That's what I'd like to know too, because i use a x32 rack

Hey Drew, tha ks for the video. Can you please also do one for Wing? And how to playback for post mixing? I’m having so much issue with this in Wing

[@leevalasek9251]

Thank you for the videos. All of them are very helpful. Could you do a setup video like this for the XR18?

[@Benhite]

I’ve been exploring the idea of simultaneous multitrack recording on two separate computers from a single X32. I have a Mac Studio for live streaming and MacBook Pro I’d like to multitrack raw audio on. Currently using Logic Pro X for both. The reason for this desired set up is that I need to make plug-in adjustments while live streaming and can not simultaneously record audio while making those adjustments. I need a way to split the signal two ways.

[@bryanbullard2013]

Have you found a way to achieve this, we are needing to do the same?

[@jordanthurt]

I always direct X/M32 users to your channel. Wish I would have been able to connect with you while you were at CCV.

[@DrewBrashler]

Thanks so much, Jordan. That would have been awesome to connect when I was back there!

[@phylhaughton3126]

Hi drew, can you this same video with ableton?

[@user-gl1gw7ic9m]

how about showing the recording of the master track in the daw, and not just the channels?

[@johncseward]

Thanks so much mighty man of God! Quick question, do you have a video on how to apply this to Studio One DAW on a iMac?…

[@AndyGeroldMusic]

Is there a way to route an input from the S16 to one of the Aux outs on the x32 rack?

[@mezemirmjava3560]

Thank you, sir. I wish this was in Cubase since that is the DAW I use.

[@waynehuirua7768]

This is great thank you, Does the same apply to the rack version of the X32?

[@StuartJrBarrett]

How do you multitrack without using a DAW (Reaper)? Isn’t there a way to MULTITRACK on the unit?

[@jonahbarasinopre]

Hi Drew, could you please also do how to set up virtual soundcheck on the X32 using Studio One DAW? This would be much appreciated. Thanks

[@joaopedrosousa2513]

Hi Drew, hope you are well. Is there any way of recording multitrack into a usb stick? That's what I really wanted. Please let me know something when you can. Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards, Joao

Hi Andrew, can you do a video how to setup midi to start/stop reaper to playback...

[@wootube48]

Great video Drew, i have x-usb card but how to do you get the virtual sound from the x32 to youtube in real-time, are you using two computers to achieve that?

[@chrisdoratproductions8680]

can you use waves tracks live

[@carlosoconjr5897]

Hey Drew thanks for the video I have my Mac set up to record but did you do a video of how to playback the recording?

[@memphismarkmusic56]

Fantastic Drew 👏. Looking now on how to playback the recording through the x32 from the DAW is that coming soon?

[@sgriffin760]

This is amazing thanks I’m waiting for the next video. This is what I need to do so I can take my time and adjust things alone and not under pressure hahaha sound guy saying under pressure that’s a given

[@donaldpalm4582]

Hi Drew, I've set up the X32 and Reaper twice now and it still not recording. What am I missing?

[@Morriefresh]

same here. I've followed the set up exactly and am not seeing any inputs on my Reaper. i even double checked my routing on the x32 to make sure it was set to local. have a 58 plugged right into channel one and see it on the board. However, i am not seeing it on reaper. any thoughts?

[@johnsorb]

Greetings Drew, like these other 2 individuals, I've followed your example multiple times and am not receiving input into Reaper. I have an X32 Rack on stage for a monitor console, all instruments use the X32 Rack. I have an X32 Console at FOH using AES50A for all 22 inputs. The Rack is master and Console is slave, gains controlled by the Rack. FOH console is receiving signal from all inputs from the stage. For testing, I'm using my IPod and plugging into stereo pair 7-8 on the rack. I have signal at FOH and audio is playing thru Main L/R + M/C for Subs, however I am not receiving signal within Reaper. Both the X32 Rack and X32 Console are running v4.06 Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

[@neilburgess5943]

Hi Drew, Great video. My question is, how do you route the signal to mix in the box and route it to livestream with effects

[@BUNDE220]

Hi, this is Leroy and I am starting to learn this board at my church and your videos have been VERY HELPFUL. My question is If I record our Sunday service on the the USB can I use that to make adjustments as long as I select the channel they are on as well as musicians?

[@BUNDE220]

Reason being so that I can do it when they are not there or mess with them while they practice….

[@helichuck1]

My stage is 60 feet away, can I use a 60 ft USB cable?? for live tracks??

[@ptoddcnc]

Hi Drew, Love the content...you do a GREAT job of delivering and explaining. I'd love to see how to do the Virtual Sound Check when using Logic Pro. I've been able to record, but can't seem to get playback except (L-R Stereo) on the X32.

[@DrewBrashler]

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll start making a video on this soon!

[@lucianogm]

Great video Drew! If you are multi track recording a venue and the computer sudenly turns off, you still hear the sound in the PA? Or the signal gets interrupted?

[@Jazzamiah]

Hi Drew, I want to say thank you very much for your videos. They have helped me extensively. Do you think that you can make a video on how to record your channel strip through your stage box? I have the Barringer compact with the 16-channel stage box. I know that you showed a video that we can do that through the pier 16 headphone monitoring. But that doesn't work for the stage box if I'm correct. Please help. Thank you.

[@snowkingcro]

Drew, thanks for the video, but I don't get any signal from my X32 rack Aux to the reaper... Could you clear this up?

[@kingsleyigwe952]

how abt pesonus digital console...make videos on it too

[@DecadesApartBandSTL]

How about an in-depth video on how to safe shows on the X32.

[@DrewBrashler]

I have an old video on this that you can take a look at here: Behringer X32 Scene Safes, Parameter Safe, and Channel Safe kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHfOhGVvZdCbedk. I’ll add that one to the list to update!

[@marksvideochannel3592]

Thanks for the video, Can the X32 work as an inbox recorder without the DAW ...alternatively record post eq and effects etc to the DAW?

[@jasonvelasquez2356]

Thank you so much for this video! Is there a way to send AUX channels to my DAW (Reaper)? We have several AUX channels that we use for video and would love to be able to have this go to Reaper as well.

Hi DB. I’m having trouble to use window 11 to work with Reaper on X32.

[@JoshuaJayVlogs]

I believe I have followed all these steps, and when I have audio going through the board it is not coming up in the daw, I also tried studio one and still no luck, I’m using a Mac, is there anything that I might be missing?

[@gagoune7280]

Hey Drew! Thank you so much for this new video! I just have a question, you talked about all the USB/FW/SD expansion cards. Is the track routing the same with other expansion cards (Dante, MADI, ADAT, etc.)?

[@PaulPaul-vj2vx]

Can you give us some information about the 32bit option on the x32… also with the sd16?

[@argenisperez572]

Can u make it with Studio One??

[@kevinnebroski6657]

Hey Drew, another great video. I'm have my iPad connected to Aux 5 and Aux 6 (L & R), and want to send them to Reaper as well. Tried different routing changes but can't seem to get it. Have you tried this and had any luck? (I've searched for videos on-line and all are old based on previous versions of X32Edit so they're quite confusing).

[@raulcrespo.9]

So, If I just do the first step without doing all the matrix stuff will I be able to record on the laptop without sending any audio from the laptop to the x32?

[@gregreynolds6728]

would the setup be similar for Presnous Studione

[@chefsdaddy]

Can you be more specific about what cable you used?

[@cameronclarkhull]

Does this work with Adobe audition?

[@FadersGH]

I’ve always wondered, how do you get good signals in your multitrack mix. I wanna have even and nice signals in my DAW. You know, at times you seem to find some signals clipping and others very low and in the end you would have to normalize or amplify them in order you mix properly. Also I wanna know how to multitrack with procession and effects, i.e if that’s possible. Any pointers or a video perhaps? Thanks

[@lindaoksova12]

After following all the steps I am still not getting any signal in the tracks. Any ideas what could be set wrong on my computer?

[@paulmorrey733]

Thanks Drew - whats the difference recording direct onto the x32 live card ? Would this still give you 32 tracks ? Cheers

[@brokenvail]

Any ideas what I can do to get a hotter level into my daw? The leves when recording out via usb into the daw are always very low

[@damiansdomain]

Is there a PC walk through. When I chose my audio source, it gives me several options for x32. Also, under routing, the boxes have an X and I can't choose them.

[@Grawill007]

Hey Drew.. Thanks for the content! Any chance you could do a video on using the X-WSG card connected to the network port of a Windows PC? Lots of videos covering similar topics but almost none with current firmware or for a PC.

[@DrewBrashler]

I wish I still had a Waves X-WSG card! I had to send it back to Waves a long time ago. You can follow this older video I made: Routing Waves SoundGrid X-WSG: 32 Channels of MultiRack kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYqbZYd6qM2ggac. If you are using the User In routing, select that instead of Local or AES50. Once you have the waves soundgrid driver installed on your computer, you can select the soundgrid as the input for your daw you want to multitrack with. Hope this helps!! Or let me know if you have a spare X-WSG card! 😂

[@frankoptis]

Is there a way to record the main mix via X-USB interface?

[@dreekiusmach-na210]

Did you ever find how to do it ?

[@RevTRWeberJr85]

I don’t have adequate volume from reaper when I listen back after multitrack recording.

[@brettwalters1346]

Hi Drew, love your videos. I have Aux in 1-4 routed to channels 17-20 on my x32 producer. How do I get the Aux 1-4 audio signal to the xusb card so I can see them as channel s 17-20 in Logic Pro?

[@CcsummervilleOrg]

Hi Drew, I am trying to improve my sound tech abilities and have never done the virtual soundcheck before. Does the virtual sound check also include the aux channels or just channels 1-32. To be honest kinda hesitant to try. I don't want to mess up the setup that is already in place.

[@carlosmayorca4642]

Hi Drew, great video as always! Your teaching is simple, but effective and I always lear a lot. I've already recorded multitracks before successfully, but this weekend I recorded a set for a band and the audio files are all sped up and they're unusable. I was wondering what I might've missed; I checked the routing was correct and audio was going through, I also reinstalled the drivers for the M32Live. This hasn't happened to me before with any kind of recording. Do you know what could've been the issue? Note that my laptop is old and that's what I'm claiming created the problem. Thanks again!

[@HomeGoingJubilee]

its the sample rate. sample rate mismatch

[@carlosmayorca4642]

@HomeGoingJubilee you're correct! I noticed that was the issue after a few weeks. I've had plenty of shows after it and never ran into the same issue.

[@eugeneltrainhonaydj7143]

Question will it work on a hp laptop

[@ultrastar23]

Is there a way to save channel strips on the X32? For example, if we rotate through a handful of vocalists every week, I’d like to be able to save and recall a channel with the name, lowcut/EQ and compression settings stored. Can you make a video on that if it’s possible?

[@ultrastar23]

Thanks for your videos!!

[@PanRider939]

To the right of the display screen fifth button down, LIBRARY, you can save all the parameters of a channel strip, and recall in to any channel, individual components or the whole channel settings. We use this extensively to build mixes week by week. Below right, SCENES, you can save an entire setup. For instance if you’re doing a special event, before you start save a scene. Then when you finish the event you can go back to normal.
