The Most UNDERRATED X32 Features for Churches with Drew Brashler | Churchfront Podcast

[@josealves1097]

This guy does some of the best audio videos online. Like the occlusion video was a game changer for me... I've been touring with huge acts for over 10 years and never heard about it!

[@skeeterjohnston4855]

I have learned SOOO much from Drew's videos. Hat's off to him and his team!

[@abrahamv2849]

Team ChurchFront thanks for all the tours and inspiring things you show your community is such a hype keeps me going! ❤

[@JoshuaLangford]

I get little nuggets from Drew's videos and that allows me to teach others

[@tommih597]

I can definitely relate to being the one 'tech guy' being part of a smaller church. This year I have really noticed how difficult it has been for me to be there every Sunday with being unavailable due to work or holiday trips, so I've really been focused on trying to train more people into the operating the tech. This will also allow me to have a break once in a while if I need to.

[@Schlotzinger]

Thanks Drew for teaching us so well on the X32.

[@abrahamv2849]

Funny after your help I'm teaching others at my church too. Very inspiring Drew!

[@AlanJonesUK]

Drew is one of the best out there for tech training 😊

[@briandice2187]

Drew is absolutely an amazing asset. I run sound for a concert venue that has a x32 compact, and more than once gone to a Drew video for help as I was learning.

[@ZachBrownMedia]

Great conversation guys. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

[@jorgegalvan3200]

Drew is the best for sure!!

[@abrahamv2849]

First big fan. Thanks for all your help brother! @Drew

[@GingerTillson8]

I do sound at my church now with a gentleman who was patient in teaching me

[@markdavisattorney6939]

I have recently started watching Drew because I have recently transitioned to a new church with an X32. He is very helpful. He mentioned perhaps digging deeper with other consoles. I think QSC has reached a good balance between features and usability. It's a lot more intuitive than the X32 and not as intimidating for volunteers.

[@davidrayramos]

I vote for a Drew Brashler Day!

[@wilcandou]

we have the rack version... WiFi iPad controlled. Love it!

[@Fireman9143]

What do you think about mute groups for effects, especially for small church that doesn't have tech savvy volunteers? Mute off gets reverb and delay, mute on stops FX.

[@radioflyer2030]

@Churchfront @DrewBrashler - Regarding 32:25 - just FYI, the Behringer lab (console lab) engineers have indicated to me that during the life cycle of a product, they will not "cut new holes" nor "resize existing cut-outs" in the metal work of a product. So while internal circuit boards may get new revisions that change the layout, the things that poke out through the chassis will not change in size or location. For example, this is the reason that we do not yet have combo XLR jacks on the x32, and probably never will (XLR combo jacks require an ever so slightly larger hole / cut-out). Or at least not on the current iteration of the x32. So don't hold your breath for an external monitor connector on the Wing, although it would be a cool idea.

Drew brashler! legend

[@thetechq]

Qobuz + Tidal is a really great solution. Their catalogs are a bit different so if you only pick one make sure it has what you like.

[@danielfmyers]

Another feature of dca mutes is that the channels still play sound in IEM mixes.

[@andygriffiths7230]

Agreed. How many churches have over spent on consoles and have a non working or non cohesive speaker system. Crazy

[@hopefulsyrus9326]

Hello Brashler Kindly help me understand why my M32 Midas main LR output has low sensitivity towards vocal signals even when the gain is cranked all way up. The channel shows it's clipping but not much is reaching the LR mains output. So because of this, the backup vocals usually sound too quiet in the live mix. Thank you.

[@jcmusik7495]

For a minute there I thought Martin Smith was interviewing Steven Curtis Chapman. 😂

[@adonai977]

I have a nightmare with the x32. I use it fine, I turn it off and I can't turn it on until 2 days have passed. I've already looked for any solution and I can't find anything. Does anyone have any ideas?

[@JoshuaLangford]

You all should interview James atway

[@JoshuaLangford]

@atwayaudio is the account he has on youtube

[@johnmcvicker6728]

James was at last year’s Churchfront conference. Drew going to this year’s.

[@indi2174]

How did you obtain the audience that you have. Is it that you use a Livestream software and stream to the built in platform that is given to you .. ???

[@baldkeef]

Thanks for this, guys... just a quick question on using DCAs instead of mute groups... I currently use a mute group to suppress the vocal effects on the lead vocal, for when the worship leader is talking, versus singing. If not using mute groups, how do you do this quickly when needed?

[@emcc7579]

Instead of mute groups you use dcas for the same effect returns that you are muting. Bring up your returns channels page on the left and dcas page on the right. Push and hold the select button for the dca 1-8 you want to use while toggling (press and release once) the select button for each return or channel you wish to be controlled by that particular dca you are holding down. Then release that button. You will have to toggle that dca to exit this dca grouping mode and exclusively show which channels are grouped to the dca on the right side but you do not need to select in order to control the returns or Channels. You can then adjust volume or mute that dca to control whatever is grouped to it. Hope this is clear, if not search drew...dcas x32.

[@baldkeef]

@@emcc7579 Thanks for the response - that makes sense, I'll give it a try!

[@jthunderbass1]

I’m in Nashville, I could bring my LV1 over and we could do something with it.

[@warrenroberts1912]

Wowww!!!

[@MrTrio5]

Let’s never underestimate the x32.

[@SampleStuff]

1 minute unskippable commercial from igniter? 😳

[@Churchfront]

Haha I’ll take their donation to the channel.

[@AlecSpence]

I'm going to take issue with Radial DI's. They may sound fine - until they stop working. My experience with a pair of Radial ProDIs is three failures so far. I thought I was buying a top quality robust product, but I was conned by the marketing - never again...

[@ThatDevOpsKid]

I don’t use the top right as well. 🤦🏾‍♂️ I use snapshots and build from there.

[@MrandMrsPodcasting]

Quick Question: is using a compressor on individual channels AND Main L/R too much compression?

[@BlackCoinCrypto]

A compressor on a guitar maintains its position in the mix. A compressor on L/R main maintains or limits the level in the room.

[@MrandMrsPodcasting]

@@BlackCoinCrypto I definitely have a limiter and compressor on my L/R mains. Im thinking like I’m in a DAW but curious if that method works for live mixing.

[@johnmcvicker6728]

@@MrandMrsPodcastingi mix live and in a DAW. You can compress channels, groups, effects and main stereo out as well. Live or DAW

[@hellofx]

You should charge them not for free . . . .
