I love my xtouch I tried to go to keyboard and mouse after using my xtouch and I can't go without. Like I said I tried when I went on a vacation cuz didn't want to bring it with me and had such a hard time. I use Cubase its awesome with this control surface. Especially cuz i can customize the function keys to all my shortcuts. Agree workflow ×1000 lol. Great video.

It is possible to control more than 8 Channels by switching the banks, right? How many banks can I use with this controller? How many channels can I control with the controller?

How is x touch as compared to Mackie mcu pro control surface which one is better in your opinion

[@soundrocketstudios]

Apart from eventual feel difference (on which I can't express because I haven't tried the mcu pro), what you get is close to the same. The x touch costs less then a third, and works real close to the mcu The only thing I could think about that I definitely prefer on the mcu is the fact that the scribble strips are tilted so I can see them clearly even without thinking at the position of the controller itself 😁 If anyone has tested both please let us know! And thank you for commenting Cheers

[@soundrocketstudios]

Sorry but can't really help. Reinstall the DAW after removing EVERYTHING and all the mackie control files already present usually works. Then you'll have to try to update the firmware (if not already updated), try a different cable, try a different port in your computer and at the end of everything...if nothing else work, use that warranty and ask directly to the seller of try to contact behringer!

for the loose jog wheel, press down on it kind of firmly, you might have to grab it by the sides and bring it back up a hair or two, and it will be just as good as any other jog wheel. Mine was pretty loose when i first got it.

I use the X-Touch with Harrison Mixbus and there color scribbles work just fine. You just need to check the firmware for the X-Touch so it support color scribbles through the Mackie protocol.

[@ruthlessadmin]

For REAPER, use the Mackie Control Klinke extension. It works extremely well compared to the out-of-the-box experience, and appears to still be in active development. I can't comment on this specific device, but it's good for other Mackie-compatible controllers.

This is a NEW VERSION of the Behringer X-Touch review, built completely from scratch with: - new thoughts - news about the small problems I used to have (expecially the problem with the fighting faders which is now solved 100%) - more images of the x touch itself and less of my face lol Let me know what you think! Cheers

[@garyusinger]

Just a quick question. I have both Ableton and Studio One. I plan to use your mappings and maybe add some of my own. What I want to know is how do you let the x-touch know that you are using Ableton or Studio One? What is the procedure when moving from one DAW to the other? Thanks.

[@donmilland7606]

I have the full X-Touch and I mostly use the transport section and jog wheel. Its useful for automation if you like riding the faders. Its good for tweaking plug in settings (I still use the mouse to load plugins because I like seeing the entire plugin list before me.). It is far superior to see all your tracks on the X-Touch as just one single track. I wouldnt recommend X-Touch One. I suppose you have to own one to appreciate my comments. One quirk: in Logic, every time a project is loaded, I have to turn it off and on as to reset it.

[@danielrubianoarevalo1869]

exelent video , how clear the cliping leds? you know?

[@soundrocketstudios]

Hey! I checked but sorry, don't know how to do that and it depends if your DAW is sending the right signal. In my case on ableton and studio one, they PROBABLY work all right and I said probably because there's really no situation that comes to my mind, in which I clipped the channel Sorry! 😢 Cheers 🎹

Don't think there's a limit! I imagine it could be determined by the DAW Cheers 🎹

[@gianlucadepertis9420]

Io ce l'ho ma sono un po' pentito dell'acquisto. Ma è possibile che non c'è un manuale come per gli altri controller (Qcon, Faderport, ecc)? Possibile che si debba imparare ad usarlo solo con quei 4 video che hanno fatto? Io non credo di essere proprio negato ma, come dovrei fare ad es., per scoprire che quando vado in eq e questo ha 4 "pagine" io per scrollare tra queste devo usare le frecce di zoom orizzontale? per tentativi? Boh

[@soundrocketstudios]

Più che d'accordo! Questa è una pecca a cui non avevo pensato nel video perché ora (dopo un anno) sicuramente non trovo rilevante ma... All'inizio è effettivamente un po' scomodo dover capire un po' tutto da sé 🙁 Peccato per behringer, su questo avrebbe potuto fare molto meglio. Per studio one e ableton ho i walkthrough io, per logic e Cubase bisogna purtroppo accontentarsi di quelli direttamente fatti da loro 😅 Grazie per il comment e abbi pazienza: con un po' di tempo ti ci troverai benissimo! 😉 Buona musica!! 🎹

No, non ho mai avuto modo di utilizzare l'icon m+ nonostante ai tempi lo avessi valutato come altro possibile controller candidato 😎 L'x touch funziona abbastanza bene con i Plugin, Diciamo in linea con tutti gli altri controller aventi 8 parametri controllabili. I controlli possono anche essere rigirati sui fader il che rende la regolazione ancora più precisa. Peccato non avere più di 8 controlli alla volta regolabili!

Looks like a nice controller. After owning for a little did you find yourself going back to keyboard and mouse?

[@soundrocketstudios]

To answer this I had to think about it because I'm not mixing a lot recently Still use it a lot when mixing Volume, panning, solo, mute, moving aroung, play, stop and the related, general solo, general mute, automations, and the shortcuts I personally created for studio ones, like opening or closing plugins A little less the sends and plugins but sometimes too. Even if I have this, still a bit thorn between the question "Since I use studio one, woulnd't it have been better to get a faderport 16?" but... the one rotary for all the pannings is kind of a nono for me So yep! Still using it and worked flawlessly ever since! 😁 Cheers! 🎹

Did u ever find out? Im curious to know myself

[@davide7019]

Ciao un aiuto!! Sto comprando la Roland A49 perché mi piace la sua qualità dei tasti ma purtroppo ha pochi controlli, cioè rotelle e faders. Così se ho un virtual instrument con parecchie rotelle per modificare il suono in tempo reale devo usare per forza il mouse, ma capisci da solo che mentre sto suonando è più immediato girare una rotella o far scorrere uno slide con una mano. Così ho visto che esiste il korg nanokontrol2 essendo piccolo e pieno di quello che sembra mancare sulla roland posso usarlo per fare questo che ti ho detto? Almeno alla fine avrei una tastiera buona e piena di controlli grazie a questo korg

[@soundrocketstudios]

Ciao, con quale daw intendi utilizzare il tutto? Con s1 penso sia fattibile. Ableton anche (sono le 2 principali daw che conosco) Per spiegarti una cosa interessante: in entrambe queste daw in realtà non è super fattibile utilizzare due controller contemporaneamente. Il motivo sta nel fatto che sia studio one che per esempio ableton, riescono a tenere il "focus" su un solo controller--> puoi utilizzare quasi sempre UN solo controller alla volta per modificare un vst (o altro plugin di qualsiasi tipo). DETTO QUESTO, se ti premetti di utilizzare la roland a49 solo e solamente come tastiera (mandante segnali CC) e il korg solo e solamente come controller (per controllare i parametri) terresti il focus di s1 (per esempio) sul korg e non sulla tastiera, pur avendola disponibile per suonare i tasti--> dovresti poterlo fare

[@davide7019]

@@soundrocketstudios Guarda ancora non so che software utilizzerò, probabilmente cubase però... non sapevo di questa cosa dei due controller... allora se non è questo lo scopo del korg (ovvero modificare parametri in tempo reale di un master keyboard) a cosa serve? per la post produzione? che sola :-( se è così che altre soluzioni posso utilizzare. Non ho capito se la tua (A49 per CC e korg par.) poi non mi fa più usare nessuno controllo della roland, che ne ha pochi ma ce li ha, tipo pitch and modulation D-BEAM e due knobs

[@soundrocketstudios]

​@@davide7019 Pitch e modulation sono due parametri un po' particolari. A volte sono perfettamente integrati, a volte no (dipende sempre dal programma e dal controller e varia tantissimo). D-beam etc sono appunto parti relative al controller che, nel caso per esempio utilizzassi studio one, non potresti utilizzare nel caso volessi il korg come controller principale. Resto un po' sorpreso che tu mi dica che non sai ancora quale software utilizzare (: Scegliendone uno e direzionandoti su quello saresti molto più tranquillo nel poter capire se un determinato controller funzioni bene o no. Io per esempio ho una kk 61 mk2 (native instruments) e so che funzioni bene con ableton, per questo motivo sono andato tranquillo. Se però avessi utilizzato studio one, avrei avuto un po' più di dubbi in quanto non funzionante al 100% ma...un po' meno ecco (dal prossimo update di studio one invece funzionerà benissimo quindi no problem). Tieni a mente questo: strumenti come la korg nanokontrol 2 sono ideati per controllare direttamente la DAW e agire da control surface. Una control surface "usa un via di comunicazione diversa" da quella della tastiera--> se volessi mai utilizzare la nanokontrol 2 come control surface (con play, rec, stop, volumi dei faders e rotaries per il panning) NON potrai utilizzarla allo stesso momento come controller per i tuoi plugin E VICEVERSA. E' una scelta tua. Nel caso tu voglia quindi utilzizarla come controller libero per mapparlo per un plugin NON potrai utilizzarla come control surface

[@davide7019]

@@soundrocketstudios Grazie mille dei consigli! il fatto è che tutte queste cose chi te le dice? io sono un semplice musicista, uno strumento non mi basta per esprimermi e quindi mi oriento sul virtual comandato da tastiera, però è un mondo enorme ci vorrebbero 2 lauree per riuscire a capire tutto senza chiedere consigli o guardare tutorial.. ad esempio ovunque ho letto che i controller midi funzionano su ogni software e adesso scopro di no.. che tristezza haha

[@ConnorChee]

Great review! For the price I think it's a great controller too. I use it with Pro Tools (and it does have very limited functionality). But it definitely gets me through projects so much faster. I sometimes like being able to write automation with a physical controller, and it saves me some screen real estate not having to flip between windows so often. I especially find it useful when I'm working with plugins on my screen. Instead of having to constantly click between the plugin window and the edit window so that I can use the usual keyboard shortcuts, I can keep my plugin windows active and use the Xtouch to play/record/loop/save etc. Oh, and the little save button that lights up red when there is unsaved data...huge life saver! Whenever I see it red, I reach over and double tap it to save the session...it has saved me several times when my DAW crashed and I would have otherwise not saved as frequently and lost a lot of work. Great video!

Hello I'm trying desperately to set up my control surface. (I had read that it was simple under Logic ... hmmm) Yet I respected the start (let Press Select from the first slice and turn on the table, select the protocol MC I put the 1.14 1.03 activated) The problem is that I already use a Komplete Kontrol S88 keyboard under the Mackie protocol. Maybe it's a duplicate of the shot? In short I do not know if we can use both at the same time under the MC protocol? always is that when my keyboard is off my table is still not recognized ... So I do not understand. I went in Logic ProX -> Control Surface but it does not appear in the list of products. I saw that there was an update 1.15 but normally it should be able to work without? no ? I thought it was plug and play ... here is my config: Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1 / Logic Pro X 10.1.0

[@soundrocketstudios]

Sorry you're having all this trouble! 😢 I used to use logic when I had a mac but actually don't have one right now so can't help you directly. If you're having BOTH the "control surfaces" on at the same time (even if the s88 is not a control surface, you can set it up as one of it to use the play/stop buttons etc, which is probably what you're trying to do) YOU HAVE to be sure to have both the controllers ins/outs setted up right so please, check the ins/outs The name changes on osx so I can't tell you even the specific names 😢 Please check out these two and see if everything is setted up right. www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/how-do-i-set-up-my-behringer-x-touch-in-logic-pro-x/ support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/210279905-Setting-Up-Apple-Logic-X-for-KOMPLETE-KONTROL It's sure that you can use multiple control surfaces in logic but....really sorry, at the moment, not having a mac, can't help more then that 😊 Let me know if you get it to work though!!

[@soundrocketstudios]

Should work great! If u have an extender you should be able to spill all the parameters you wanna control on it too Notice that if u have the x touch only only, I don't know if there's a "page" function to scroll through all the parameters controllable but I think I saw a video of a modified script for the x touch which made it a lot better to control plugins too I'll have to check some more on youtube 🤔 Have'nt had the possibility to test it on cubase since even with the demo you have to buy the dongle anyway... Thank you for your comment! Have a nice day full of music 🎹

This unit work correctly with FL Studio?

[@ianwalker2258]

It works well - and best of all there is an active FL Studio community that continually adds suggestions and features (EG This was one of my personal wishes /requirements to add Track numbers to assist banking through large projects: gadgeteer.home.blog/2021/01/11/adding-track-numbers-to-the-second-line-of-the-behringer-x-touch-and-extenders/ )

Hi! I just bought an X-Touch One controller for Pro Tools. Everything works except the LED SIGNAL. How can I make it work? (Firmware 1.08 / PTHD 12.5) Thank you for your answers

[@Ehabmxd]

thank u bro for these video i want to ask u some question Do u know most of Audio interface such as UA apollo twin its support the CPU of PC to put alot of plugins and tracks .. What about this mixer its well help my CPU ?? or i should buy a twin x and connected to any mic preamp to expand my tracks ?

[@soundrocketstudios]

This is not an audio interface and doesn't transport audio in any way. It's just a midi controller (aka "a control surface") so it's not interchangeable with an apollo twin or any other audio interface. For the other question, it won't weight in any way on your cpu, don't worry about that

[@Ehabmxd]

@@soundrocketstudios thank u bro i understand now.. 🌹 🌹 ❤️

[@wilcandou]

I remember when a company called GoldStar was bought out by "LG" how their products were rubbish in the beginning. But now, LG make great quality gear. Same can apply for Behringer. Back 15-18 years ago their products were junky, cheap and something was always breaking. Nowdays, Behringer have great invitations out there and build quality is heaps better.

Have you compared the X Touch to Faderport 8 ? Great Video Thanks

[@soundrocketstudios]

Hey Jono! Thank you, glad you liked it I have buuuut not actual use in real life. I compared the two directly in a local store and definitely liked the feel of the x touch more The materials used makes the faderport look and feel more like a toy to me and then there's two things: no pan pots and faders too incredibly close. Man, I just can't stand the fact that without looking, I had to "force" my fingers to stay closer one another to move two or three faders together. Not a super hard thing to do but...I mean... it is really too close for me. And I don't even have big fingers (I'm a pianist and piano teacher too) And the no pan pots thing is just not a great idea for me. Hope for a better version two for the faderport 8/16 series. But for now, I'm an x touch guy Thank you for commenting! Cheers!

Hi! Great presentation and good english! I'm a studio engineer working on SSL. I have Pro Tools at home. And I definitely want to get rid as much as possible of the mouse. workflow is too slow for me. My doubts go between buying a second hand Command 8 from Avid (which of course won't give me any bad surprises) or a X-Touch... I checked the Behringer site. In the presentation they say it's compatible with PT. When I check some forums, it's another story. Apparently no access to the plug ins. What's your experience with this? I understand PT wasn't on the top of your Hit parade. What is working and what not? I really like the look and the possibilities of the XT, like the scrolling button... Could you tell me more about this? thx!

[@soundrocketstudios]

Hey! Thank you, glad you liked it! The problem with Pro Tools, as I understand (since I don't have it) is that its compatibility varies depending on each device and it sometimes limits things to basic... This is because the EUCON protocol is what Pro Tools relies on and as you can understand it is present only on bigger more costly controllers (like the command 8 or Avid S3 or ssl Nucleus 1/2 (damn how much would I love one lol!) Plugin control, routing, grouping, etc work on a "fingers crossed" basis. I'm 99% sure that you would have transport, faders, flip, rotaries, solo/mute/rec/select, fader banks/channel banks and feel like also the jog should be available, but really don't know 100%... If you find that the Mackie series of controllers work for plugins in Pro Tools you might be a lot closer to saying that this might work too (since this is close to 100% a copy of what an MCU controller do) but I just couldn't say without trying... I'll look on the internet al let you know if there's anything new Here's a comment from down here! Let me know if you decide anything ;D Cheers! "Great review! For the price I think it's a great controller too. I use it with Pro Tools (and it does have very limited functionality). But it definitely gets me through projects so much faster. I sometimes like being able to write automation with a physical controller, and it saves me some screen real estate not having to flip between windows so often. I especially find it useful when I'm working with plugins on my screen. Instead of having to constantly click between the plugin window and the edit window so that I can use the usual keyboard shortcuts, I can keep my plugin windows active and use the Xtouch to play/record/loop/save etc. Oh, and the little save button that lights up red when there is unsaved data...huge life saver! Whenever I see it red, I reach over and double tap it to save the session...it has saved me several times when my DAW crashed and I would have otherwise not saved as frequently and lost a lot of work. Great video! " (comment by Connor Chee)

[@didiermoens9303]

Nyroh grazie mille! I think I might give it a try. The shop where I would buy it have a few week return policy so I could test it for a while. On the other hand I can get a Command 8. Looks more boring but maybe better... ciao!

Found this in the meantime... www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2018/6/14/control-surfaces-for-pro-tools-you-can-buy-for-under-500-budget-studio-bargains "... Until we hear otherwise, we believe the X-Touch has limited compatibility with Pro Tools." I guess I'll try something else... The thing is HUI is not supported anymore by Avid. :( Which make things difficult... Stay safe.

Ciao! Bel video complimenti! Volevo solo chiederti come si comporta con Logic? È portato per essere usato con Logic? Un ultima domanda conviene prendere questo, che sicuramente è più completo, oppure provare a prendere la versione compact ? Grazie per l’eventuale risposta Buona musica

[@soundrocketstudios]

Il delta fra compact e non compact secondo me è così tanta a pari di poco prezzo che non sia troppo conveniente prendere la versione compact. E personalmente trovavo il non compact anche fatto un po' meglio Scusa la poca specificità ma è solo e solamente perché siano giorni incasinati e non riesco a rispondere in modo completo a nessuno 😢 Con logic funziona benone! Dai un'occhiata direttamente su youtube e guarda il video di presentazione dell'x-touch. Troverai spiegazioni più specifiche kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJebamucjNGDd5o Ciao e buona musica a te!! 🎹

Question still unanswered - does it work fully with FL Studio?

[@soundrocketstudios]

Hey, real sorry but I actually can't answer this question 🤔 Never worked with FL and checking on the FL site, since I'm not an FL products user I can't see the answers to anyone questioning this (maybe I don't understand how to create an account on the FL site 🙈 To me it seems like the mackie implementation with FL is not that advanced....maybe someone else can help?

Also btw... it looks like you have Kontrol Mk2 in the background... I realize it doesn’t have faders but it seems to work very well with Cubase overall! Just not at all with Studio One... hence my choice to add the StudioLive.
