Remote control your own Monitor Mix in Reaper, with a phone, tablet, or computer!

So your already kinda familiar with my set up & IEM's Cover band i use the P16-M For the original band, i use the mix bus from my X32 For Reaper, i can still use the IEM the same way as my X32? & can i use that as im recording my rehearsals 😊 Great vid as usual

Hi Ken, For your setup, I would just continue running the way you already are. Your guys have control of their mixes straight off of the physical inputs with the P16's and this is going to be far better for you in the long run than using Reaper to build your IEM mixes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it ! :) Thanks for watching!

@QuickEZ it was just a question on if that would work or not Im not going to change my set up, but was curious if thats how Reapers monitor mix works, the P16's are fantastic units, but for my original band, im using the mix bus from my X32, is your suggestion to keep that same set as well, but again, i was just curious if thats how that works

Hey Ken, You could absolutely create mixes for your original band using this Reaper method, BUT... The way that the Reaper mixes work is that you need to bring all the sonic information INTO Reaper and create individual mixes in that software, then send them back out of reaper to your console and distribute them to each persons IEM's. This way of doing it will have potentially more latency than the way you are doing it now, which is to make mixes and distribute them directly from the consoles physical inputs. The Reaper way has the following steps: 1. Instrument Signal 2. Console input 3. Console USB output 4. Reaper USB input 5. CREATE REAPER MIX 6. Reaper USB output 7. console USB input 8. DISTRIBUTE TO CONSOLE OUTPUT / IEM TRANSMITTER The way you are currently doing it is: 1. Instrument Signal 2. Console input 3. CREATE MIXES IN CONSOLE 4. DISTRIBUTE TO CONSOLE OUTPUT / IEM TRANSMITTER You can see the additional steps required using the Reaper method and the X32 lets you assign and control your mixes much more quickly. If you get your band-mates onto the MX-Q app, they can control their x32 mixes directly on their phones / tablets. Hope that answers your question more definitively.

@@QuickEZ it answers my question So what & who would most benefit from this system

[@QuickEZ]

There are lots of determining factors here but my quick answer is studio users. Those who are recording to their computer but have (or can't afford) hardware that will support remote monitor control. I suppose the other side of it is preference. Some users like to keep everything in one ecosystem. This could be beneficial to people like that as well.
