Soundcraft Ui24R Digital Mixer

[@MrLukasPetersen]

This is EVERYTHING I want from a mixer !

[@10djpro]

Best intro, and speech from a real professional... Everything in detail, as the watcher like me, want to copy

[@leonkriel5250]

Love these units, Started a few years ago with the UI 16. Did many tours overseas. The virtual mixer is different but so much more convenient. The performers and musicians love having power over their in-ears with a tablet next to them.

[@leonkriel5250]

Just added the 24

[@billwhite9703]

This is an absolutely great intro! As a producer/live sound man of over 40 years I say CONGRATULATIONS! Top bit of equipment too.

[@anthonyacosta7235]

Bill. From a mack book pro. Is thunderbolt ok? 2012.

[@jobaecker9752]

Very well done demo. Might have just sold it for me.

[@heamorhoid]

I want this so much. Because of my handicap I have problem with analog mixers knobs. This mix can end my troubles.

[@paulsarodh5460]

Superb 😍👍👌👌

Can you open multiple browser windows simultaneously to keep various views up and active - do they scale to maintain full view of all content in each window?

[@TotaleKruBacon]

Great video, so I got it right that you dont need internet at all to control the Soundcraft? Our practice space is basically an top secret hole without any reception.

[@flash001USA]

"Best" money I ever spent on gear! No need for a physical mixing board... No more running a 100 foot XLR snake... No more need for wiring in a rack for EQ'ing and effects because once again, no need for a physical mixing board... No more running a 100 foot power cord to feed the mixer board and the effects rack... Life is now musically simple!

[@Jeff-S]

He mentions that main outs. I would still need amp for my speakers right? This is not a combo is it?

[@flash001USA]

@@Jeff-S Yeah, this is just a computer based mixing console that you put into a rack. It has 8 separate monitor mixes that can be EQ'ed as individual feeds and it has a left and right front of the house mix which you can either run as a stereo mix or a mono mix. I set mine up as a stereo mix with the left channel as the instrument mix and the right channel as the vocal mix then it feeds into a external 31 band EQ so I can tweak the overall mix to the front of the house. I really like this mixer.

[@Jeff-S]

@@flash001USA They are on back order everywhere I've looked so far. Probably because of this chip shortage I've been hearing about.

[@flash001USA]

@@Jeff-S Hate to hear that. The chip shortage doesn't surprise me.

[@live-kardellivemedia7469]

The USB streaming has a mixed signal or separated audio inputs?

[@Azmariw]

The only thing putting me off from my ui24 is all mick line inputs suppose to be combo. I wish if there is a way to change the last 10 inputs to combo.

[@jionnie]

great stuff .... anyone know the distance the inbuilt router will function before it drops out ?

[@anthonyacosta7235]

And will it work with a 2015 MacBook I have usb .02 and thunderbolt.

[@StayHomeEatGreat]

Yes, I have a 2013 MacBook Air. Last OS update is Catalina.

[@pramodhjoel842]

Can I connect Behringer s16 to ui24r via Ethernet 2 port?

[@anthonyacosta7235]

Can you still record offline. And use any daw for mixing?

[@timweakley6565]

Yes

[@aaronaustin7760]

Can I daisy chain two digital mixers together 40 + channels, and if so, how? Cheers!

[@roggeroneal5664]

How about using with logic on mac Pro 2019 with thunderbolt only as music cart ?

[@johnclement.S]

How much channels does this dsp support

[@avinashonam9082]

Can I connect cable to this device🙄

[@ivanravello5687]

what about if i use this mixer with my analogo rack [ eq , crossovver etc, etc ] including my spx 2000 yamaha processor ???? do i need power amplifier for this mixer ??? greetings

[@pitotoyo4568]

how much mixer soundcract there Very good

[@RetroBroYo]

In order to connect to the web UI for the mixer do you have to be on the same local network that the built in router generates? Or can you connect the built in router to the internet and be anywhere in the world with an internet connection and connect to it?

[@mix-record-connect9938]

You just use it's own router. You do not need INTERNET.

[@Jeff-S]

I pretty sure it has to be in range of the mixer. The signal comes from the mixer. They even suggest getting a touch screen to hard wire with cat 5 and USB just in case there is a lot of internet activity (like in a hotel) that could interfere with your connection.

[@mycroftholmes7003]

do you have to use wifi or is there a hard connect between tablet and this device

[@Jeff-S]

it has both

[@soundofshofar945]

Can we use Android Tab?

[@THEPANDA163]

Hi great review. Thanks. This might be a basic (maybe silly) question but just wanted to know that once the levels, effects and everything else are dialled in and adjusted for all connected instruments/ mics, can one save different settings for different projects and recall them later as presets the next time we use the Ui24R after a few days? Basically can we save and recall mixes in a different venue and then use the Ui24R to load the presets just for practicing/ playing with those same levels and effects or does one need to again adjust all the levels etc?

[@Jeff-S]

Yes.

[@RakshanMinistries]

Hi... How to connect my Android mobile (VIVO V9)...? And also share the software link to install in my mobile. Thanks Rakshan, India.

[@imno1_tekno]

You just need HTML5 which works with your favourite Internet browser. There is no os app or software. Just WIFI connection and you done

[@imno1_tekno]

So I can connect it to main pc for record and playback in the DAW and at the same time connect laptop via WiFi and control the mixer

[@larryh2270]

I may have a setup that you can relate to. I'm running Protools on a Windows10 PC. I have a USB cable from the PC to the Ui24. I have created an I/O table in Protools that is compliant with the available resources determined by the Soundcraft driver. Using the Soundcraft driver as my playback engine (the selection for this is in the Protools setup and suspect this similar to most DAWs). I can play a project created in Protools and route the tracks to the Soundcraft inputs. I can then record all the tracks to the usb stick. Subsequently I can play and mix those track using the Souncraft standing alone. I can patch any live inputs of the Soundcraft back to my DAW and mix them in Protools. The one thing I haven't found a way to do is play the multitrack back to the DAW. I have the option to plug the USB stick into the PC but then I have to import each file into it's track desination in Protools. (pain in the ass). I had an explanation given to me by a Harman engineer but I will delve into that in a later post.

[@Eric_B]

Great mixer for me too. Only wish he would have demonstrated the interface on an iPad instead. It’s what most of us use, not a laptop. Interface looks slightly different.

[@brayancruz6532]

ola alguien sabe como desbloquear un canal de la Soundcraft IU 24r, me aparece como un logo azul claro, es como si estuviera bloqueado.

[@baskaranbaskaran3228]

[@HereAfterNow]

do you have to use the wifi to control it? You can't control it via USB?

[@almc8445]

If you want USB just use a USB to Ethernet adapter?

[@rickmanondrumsandbass9292]

How far or range of the built in wifi? Thankd

[@anthonyacosta7235]

What about off line activation. No internet required for recording?

[@tredoffer]

Nope. The unit has it's own hotspot, no need to connect to any other network.

[@mauribatero]

HI... How can I automate it live? Thanks!

[@hosoiarchives4858]

Can I stream audio to the mixer from an iPhone via Bluetooth

[@tredoffer]

No bluetooth

[@thearoom]

How do you send effects to the floor wedges if they where plugged into for example aux 1 output without effecting the FX coming out of the mains

[@tredoffer]

In the aux sends page, scroll to the far right, and there's the fx faders to send to aux

Hey guys, can you help me? Yesterdqy we had a gig. We were using this mixer and it was REALLY awesome! The sound was absolutely amazing..but..after few hours, software started changing values by itself..volume, eq, vocal effects ect. I really dont know where is problem. Maybr some of you knows?

[@BarakaBlanka]

did someone else connect to it? did you password protect it?

[@Unknown-rk9qm]

@@BarakaBlanka oh yea..we had default password and some dickhead change it and messed us...

[@creativetimes01]

​@BarakaBlanka exactly what I think coz it connects a lot of devices, check if there's an option to lock 🔐 out all other devices

[@frankbenincasa8433]

What if your gig is in a place where there is no internet? How does it work then? Is there an app for download in a case like that? I occasionally play at places where there is no signal and no wi-fi.

[@douglasjimenez2839]

Since ui.io will not be unique to your device, I'm assuming this is like a wireless direct type, without the mixer being connected to the internet, it will still show up in your smartphone, tablet or laptop as a wireless point that you can connect to, and when opening ui.io it will recognize your mixer. My church bought one today, I will test it tomorrow. I'm not a technical person for mixers, at least not yet, but I will test this and get back to you.

[@frankbenincasa8433]

@@douglasjimenez2839 Thanks for your reply. I understand the connection between the mixer and the laptop. I'm trying to understand if there is a way to use the software without having to connect to soundcraft's website. Is there a program that can be downloaded? What if the website crashes on the day of your gig? Or, you just can't get a reliable internet connection? Sounds too risky for me without software I can install on my device.

[@douglasjimenez2839]

@@frankbenincasa8433 There is no software to install. But, it doesn't use internet either. It's a hotspot, you can have a laptop, tablet, phone, laptop with HDMI or peer to peer connection with am eithernet cable, and actual internet connection if u want. So, Zero risk. Tried the hotspot wireless connection today and it worked perfectly, I could have it with HDMI also to lower risk but I don't think the hotspot wireless will fail, otherwise call for service. So, no internet needed. Hope this helps. On the run right now.

@@douglasjimenez2839 It does. Thanks for the info and taking the time to do!!!

[@officialWWM]

Frank Benincasa you don't need an internet connection or to connect to the Soundcraft website 😂 the software is all contained within the device, you are simply connecting to the device! It has its own wifi router, you connect with whatever device you are using, then navigate to the .io address and away you go...

hi i need help

[@ElBlancoPapi]

Can you record a session and then, later on, go back and do overdubs??

[@PMTVUK]

David Belcher Hi David, unfortunately not, but you can import the recorded wav files from a memory stick into a daw such as cubase or logic for editing and overdubbing. Hope that helps!

[@mix-record-connect9938]

What some customers do is play back the multitrack file and record the new file at the same time to the 2 track recorder. You can then mix it all together in your DAW as well.

[@ctzeninsane]

With all due respect, I do not agree with the web UI being light weight enough to use on an old Tablet. I use a Galaxy Tab A from 2016, my band uses 14 inputs, and it absolutely struggles, to the point where it gets very difficult to use. I never had this problem with Behringer X18 with the X-Air app or the Mixing Station.

[@MrVyrtuoso]

No native MIDI control of mixer and effects parameters, and so can't be automated.

[@billwhite9703]

Wrong.

[@paul_smith66]

It needs to be an HTML 5 browser and on smaller phones you need to go into full screen or app mode and you can still only just get to all the menus. You may counter with the argument that everyone has an HTML browser on their phone but that is simply not true. For older devices this can be tricky. So it's not ANY device. The manual sucks in telling you how musicians get assigned an aux so that they can mix themselves whilst crucially locking them out of the FOH controls so they don't accidentally change FOH during a show. Admin password wouldn't work properly without 2 firmware updates. So it's all very well whizzing through all the bells and whistles but no one from Soundcraft is actually telling musicians how to really assign the things they NEED when they're doing a show, and I've watched all of the videos on Soundcraft's site. It is a very good bit of kit and the firmware now seems pretty stable but the documentation needs to be way, way better.

[@officialWWM]

Paul Smith the phone access is only intended for individual musicians to control their own monitor mix, not for mixing a whole show, and to that end, it works flawlessly. And seriously, if your phone doesn't have internet ability, it must be 30 years old! Honestly, if you can't work out those basic functions without a manual, you probably shouldn't be using computers!

[@jonathanchartrand3351]

I think they forgot the vocal effects.

[@waxcactu]

[@phillipveale4101]

I've just spent $1500 on the ui24r and have just realized the is no information that will assist me too connect to windows ! Soooo disappointing !

[@koostixgy5921]

On Windows open your wifi settings, connect to "soundcraft", open your web browser type "ui-mixer.io" into the address bar. This will take you to the Ui user interface

[@phillipveale4101]

Cheers mate got it sorted. Mind you it took about 3 hours for the tech at Mega Music and that's after he spoke directly to his supplier for sound craft three times. It was not quite hey presto turn it on a its a go. We ended up using an external router that was connected directly to sound craft and connect to the router via wifi to the computer. Eazy peazy once you have 4 years of tech experience under your belt. Thanks again for your reply

[@koostixgy5921]

No problem. I've contacted soundcraft Ui suoport directly on a couple of occasions and had great responses, both in time and content. My Ui was a straight forward set up I have to say and new firmware update is great. Glad you're sorted.

Different question, but hoping one of you will answer. I don’t see a subwoofer out, are you just using Aux 1, as an example? If so, I lose a channel that could have been an IEM?
