As far as I know, not ONE person has EVER mentioned this, either here on YT, or on a blog or forum. Amazing discovery, thank you so much for this. You are literally the most detailed X32 guy on YT, hope you'll keep making content just like this.

[@SuperMBARutgers2013]

Someone below also explained it as mirroring the Send-Return model of hardware. Input channels go into a FX Bus> virtual FX rack> FX Returns. However, sending reverb to monitors, we simply, share the FX return to the bus that feeds that channels

Daniel - your videos are some of the best X/M32 tutorials out there. Thanks for all your content!

[@indianajim]

This is the SINGLE GREATEST X32 VIDEO I have yet to discover! No one has anything explaining this! Thank you for that!

[@proxgs7703]

Music Group should hire you to make documentation for their X32/M32 consoles. The lack of documentation and use cases in their website kills me. Allen & Heath have it and it is amazing.

MG is only interested in moving product, not supporting it. Thank goodness for videos like this!

Mind blown!!! Thanks man and keep up the awesome work! God bless

Thank you for the concise explanation-

You're a godsend !

Thanks I needed this today for church setup. We are adding another DL16 to our rack of M32c and DL16. I use the first 6 busses for monitors, then 7-14 as mix busses, and only 15 & 16 for "effect' from fx 1 and fx 2. So this was useful info.

[@dmoss1285]

Very good explanation. Thank you.

Good instructor as always Dan

[@pauloespadinha2754]

Thanks for this video. Clever as always..

[@stereomonovici8983]

Great observation ! It's logical when you see that you can't make routing on the outputs FX. I understand this logic because the 4 firsts FX simulate an external physical rack, i think it's a choice to avoid mistakes. I prefer this limitation that the lost of signal when you link 2 channel, i hope midas will patch this, maybe the same day or they will make a real manual.

Thanks for your videos. They’ve been most helpful. One thing I’m wondering, is the following: I’m using 15 of the outputs on my DL32 for IEM’s and wedges. I’ve currently got Bus 16 set as the output for a plate reverb. Is it possible to run this another way so I can send channels to effects without having to use up a bus or physical output?

[@danielkharrat]

You don't have to use a physical output but you do have to use a bus There's no way of sending audio to an effect other than using a bus But the xlr output, you can assign it to something else in the out page

[@MrAkash4u]

Hey daniel. Whats up? 1 question. Do you have a vid of the selecteble effect like soundprocesors ect ect in effect. And what they are ment to do

[@danielkharrat]

I have a video about the combinator insert (multiband compressor) and about reverb You can see the playlist linked in the description

[@alexandremachado4841]

Hi Daniel. When I use fx 1-4 as an isert and a specific channel does the effect output also return to the fx return? thanks

[@danielkharrat]

No. If you set it to be an insert, it's only on the channel. There's no send and return anymore

[@alexandremachado4841]

@@danielkharrat on my x32 when i use fx 1-4 in insert mode the sound is returning to the fx return channels. I don't know why this is happening.

[@danielkharrat]

@alexandremachado4841 that's strange but in any case you can go to the fx returns layer and turn down these return channels or remove them from the mix by selecting them and turning off the main stereo button

[@alexandremachado4841]

@@danielkharrat thanks. I will do this

[@kuglepen64]

Wait, why are the busses in both channels of the built in effects set to the same bus? I’ve seen it before and I don’t know why it is so. Shouldn’t it be sent as stereo, or is there something special going on?

[@danielkharrat]

The bus is mono The effect is stereo If you're sending one bus to the effect you need to send it to both the left and right inputs of the effect otherwise you'll just have sound on one side of the effect If you have 2 busses stereo linked You can send one to the left input of the effect and the other to the right input of the effect

[@kuglepen64]

@@danielkharrat if I understand this correctly, I can send stereo source via two bus channels and get a stereo return in two return channels?

[@danielkharrat]

@@kuglepen64 yes

[@kuglepen64]

@@danielkharrat Awesome, thanks a lot.

[@rameshkuncham5995]

Sir channal pre,post how to use

[@danielkharrat]

If you want decide whether the channel should be pre or post when you send it to a bus, you gonna configure that on the bus itself. Watch this video to learn how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKPTmJ-uoJ58kKc
