[@RickCollina]

@@AllamHouse I wasn't planning on needing any help this quick. And really doesn't have anything to do with the Live stream. BUT.. We just made the jump from floor monitors to earbuds. In the must part it's going ok. Still needs a little tweaking. But the problem is, Our Pastor has never been on his own monitor. I just mixed him into the floors, and not that much. So now he's just on the Mains, BUT he's not coming out of mains ANY MORE !! He's coming across the Live stream fine. I can't figure it out ??

[@AllamHouse]

My guess is you removed him from the Main LR Bus. Just select the pastor channel, and go to the left of the screen and find the button that says "Main LR BUS" and make sure it is lit up orange. This is the magic button to get the audio back into the main mix.

[@RickCollina]

@@AllamHouse and again. You were right on. I don't even remember turning it off. But, AGAIN Thank You. Didn't you, at one time send me a link/page that I could send you questions without tying up the KZbin posts ?? May be easier then filling this up.

[@Highlandr9]

This was AWESOME... I am tech director at a a small church that is dealing with just this problem! We consulted with a larger church in our area and were encouraged to look into the X32 and a Dante card to run a separate mix. What I like about your video is that it does a good dive into what an X32 can do if you know what you're doing. Gives us much to consider (and keep researching). Thanks!!

[@AllamHouse]

This is great, thanks for the encouragement. This console really is amazing for the price point. Dante is nice and can offer many great opportunities as your needs and team grow. If you are like my church you only have one qualified technician to mix on any given Sunday so moving to Dante to use a DAW or additional board still requires additional volunteers which we don’t have. There are a few solutions (this setup being one of them) to help get a solid mix for your stream without needing ore volunteers. Let me know if you have additional questions... I’m happy to help.

Great video! Just a thought, since you're using that limiter on your live stream mix, try setting the bus compressor to 1 1/2 to 1 with 100 ms attack time and threshold set to pull 6db at Max. It will smooth out what gets sent to the limiter and make your mix even fuller.

[@AllamHouse]

Thanks. I’ll give it a shot next time I’m up to mix and see how it reacts.

@@AllamHouse WHEN I MIX FOR LIVESTREAM FROM BUS MIX AND RAISE THE LEVEL OF DRUM KICK IT EATS OFF EITHER THE FX OF VOCALS OR VOCALS. BUT IF I LESSEN TO LEVEL OF DRUM KICK I GET A WEAK SIGNAL OF KICK. WHAT TO DO ???

[@AllamHouse]

This is an interesting situation. I would have to look at exactly what you are doing and what the outcome is, but my initial guess is that your kick is just taking up a lot more room in your mix and this is creating an effect of the vocal (or vocal FX) being softer. I personally build my broadcast mix, then turn my kick and bass down all the way and blend them back in to taste. They can quickly overrun your mix and it is near impossible to properly mix them (while mixing the house as well) if you are in the same room as your house mix with subs banging away at you.

[@SteveBeukema]

Thanks so much--this is very helpful! We just got an X32, and it's sitting in my living room while I set it up as much as I can before installing in my church tomorrow. I'm following your settings here for getting the livestream mix. The panning part was especially useful, as we have a single line array that's not in stereo, so from your video I learned how to pan everything for the livestream mix independently of the house. Thanks!

[@AllamHouse]

That’s awesome. You’re gonna enjoy the console. Be sure to ask questions as I’m happy to help.

[@SteveBeukema]

@@AllamHouse Thanks Dave, I appreciate your help! We have a mono setup in our church that consists of a single line-array of speakers with some subs. We have an external processor that does all the crossover and delays for the speakers. I set up our main LR mix to be summed to mono in a matrix bus and outputed to Ch 16 for the main mix, and I set up a link pair of buses post-fader as you described for one sound tech managing house mix and livestream. We have a few instruments going into the system in mono (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano) that we'd like stereo in the livestream. I set these up as adjacent inputs (acoustic L, acoustic R), and I will change the input source to be the same for both channels. The pan is set differently for each of the channels, and we will set EQ to be a little different in each channel. My understanding is that one channel should be delayed slightly (14 ms or so?). What's the best way to do this? Would this be okay if both channels (acoustic L and R) are going to the main mix that'll get summed to mono for the house speakers, or should we mute one of the channels for the house speakers? Thanks again for your help!

[@AllamHouse]

You sir have taken the mix to the next level... quite impressive. In your scenario, when doubling up on a mono input and doing the 'delay trick', I would only send the mono signal to the house (mono mix) and then send both signals, properly panned to the stream mix (stereo mix). Because the same performance is being doubled, there is not enough differentiation for the mono mix to process it well and it will generally just create a muddy sound. I also do this for my monitors. My IEM's are mono so I tell everyone to only use the first acoustic channel so they get an accurate tempo in their head.

Hey Dave, thanks again for this in depth video. Again, this was exactly what I needed for church. You got the heart of the teacher man.

[@stevenkelly9747]

Good video. Didn't have time to watch the whole thing so you may have suggested this but may i suggest that instead of using a mix buss to you web stream, to use busses to matrix. Use your busses for grouping instruments, and then send those to matrices to your outputs. Use 1 stereo pair for you house and another pair for your web stream so that way you maximize your busses. Then mix off your dca's so that when you make your mix level changes on your dca, you are making relational changes to all you mixes in one shot. This also frees up your stereo buss as another "matrix". I do this in all my mixing, but especially in my corporate events. May have to send a web stream, a house mix, a center fill, delays, record feed. By using good gain structure and good room tuning, you'll be able to get balance mixes to all points very quickly. Happy mixing.

[@AllamHouse]

Yeah, Matrix is a different approach and does provide great results. I have another video that covers setting up a matrix for your stream, but this specific video is the method my team uses in our church. I use buses in a different way and plan to go through my approach in an upcoming video. Thanks for the comment.

[@CCR-dn1nj]

Another great video. Thanks! Good take on setting the room space for the stream mix with a verb/verb + delay combo. I like it!

[@yeahforbes]

Great video! At 29:10 you mention the need to be careful not to accidentally touch the mix bus faders for your stream. This is especially important in order to avoid clipping the stream, since the limiter is inserted pre-fader. It would be nice to insert the limiter post-fader (so if you raise the fader, it just pushes into the limiter, instead of raising post-limiter and clipping your stream) but unfortunately I don't think that's possible; it seems like the only choices for insert position are pre-EQ and post-EQ, not post-fader -- and of course you'll almost certainly want post-EQ. The only 2 workarounds I know of are: 1. Change the output tap to pre-fader instead of the typical post-fader tap. That way, you know that the limiter (or compressor @ 100:1, if you want to avoid using up an FX slot) is absolutely the last thing before the physical output, and therefore you'll never accidentally clip the stream since there's no fader to accidentally push. 2. Run the fader at +10 instead of unity, again so that there's no chance of accidentally pushing it up. In this case, adjust the output gain of the limiter by -10 to compensate (to -11dB in your case). If using the compressor as a limiter, unfortunately the output gain doesn't go below zero, so set the threshold 10dB lower to compensate (and then adjust all channel sends by -10 as well, which makes them harder to use given the log scale). The only benefit over option 1 is if you want to "fade out" your stream using this fader; otherwise it's kind of pointless. But it would be super cool to make use of the fader in a pre-insert (or pre-compressor) manner, so that you can ride it as the program levels vary! Any ideas? An assignable knob (or MIDI controller) could be used to ride the input gain of the limiter, if it doesn't inflict zipper noise, but adjusting into the mastering compressor would be even better.

[@AllamHouse]

Yes, I actually do something like this now where I send my MixBUS to a Stereo Matrix which has the limiter on it and is setup as Pre Fader to not be susceptible to the fader movement. Here is the video that discusses that setup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5LFg2utq5mUb8U

[@yeahforbes]

@@AllamHouse Brilliant! Have the output tapping the matrix pre-fader to ensure no accidental gain after the limiter, while keeping the bus fader to help ride the mix into the mastering chain (and fade out at the end of broadcast). 👍

[@AllamHouse]

For your need to ride the volume during an event you could assign a DCA to the MixBUS for volume control or you could use on e of the knobs in the assignable section to control that volume as well (if your DCAs are all used up).

Dave, God has truly blessed me to find out about your channel! This is just what I needed. I've gained more from you than I have the last 6 years in school. I just graduated last April with a BS in Digital Audio Technology but no one taught us Live Sound. Do you have any tutorials for getting the best sound in house from the Pastors mic. I use a DPA headset with IEM. And Sennheiser wireless transmitter and reciever. When he sings there is so much distortion

[@AllamHouse]

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm glad you are learning. It sounds like the gain is too high in general. It is probably fine when he is speaking, but when he is singing it jumps up into digital clipping. Do a soundcheck with him and set his gain to -10 (on the meter) when he is singing. This will make his speaking seem a little soft, but you can use compression to not only control his overall volume, but raise his speaking parts. You might find you want to use a second compressor inserted like I do for my singing vocals. Stacking compressors allows you to not overuse one compressor, but let each one work a little and it makes everything sound natural. This video here runs through my vocal settings in depth on my pastors mic and my other vocal mics as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2bbqn2OltGcg8k

[@NashvillePastaman]

Very helpful- the matrixes on these boards are really flexible…….. i was curious about external inserts or even an external chain prior to stream- say a 500 series rack with a couple of modules- in some of the earlier digital boards we would take the headphone mix off the board and feed it into a headphone amp- or switcher for distribution to secondary monitor sets - today that could even be a analogue stereo out put for stream

[@AllamHouse]

The BUSes are where you can build your separate mixes as mentioned in this video. The BUS could be a mono mix to support a floor wedge, IEM mix, or like this video a live stream mix. You could then route this mix to an output to a live stream device or to a Matrix where many people send to other locations within their facility (cry room, nursery, lobby, etc). In terms of the actual routing, I have a number of videos on routing depending on where you are sending your mix. A common companion video to this one is listed below and shows how to route your mix out the X-USB slot on the back of the console and send into a streaming device across USB. Others will route out XLRs on the back of the console or even the AUX out (1/4" slots) on the back of the console. I hope this gets you going in the right direction. Let me know if you have more questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKmXeZ13p7mYkKs

[@NashvillePastaman]

@@AllamHouse thanks for the reply and the link i just saved it- so it sounds like all the inputs and all the outputs are assignable - so you can assign outputs of an XLR to a 2 mix on a buss and then plug that into the back of a piece of hardware???

[@AllamHouse]

There are a lot of options for sure. The board does offer standard AUX outputs (and returns) that could be used like a standard analog console with outboard gear. You can do it digitally with gear in a DAW on a computer and even further you can route the same mix (FOH, stream, other) out multiple outputs to send to different places to meet your needs. If you want specific help, I’m happy to do consulting. Just fill out the contact card on my website at sound.AllamHouse.com.

[@NashvillePastaman]

@@AllamHouse The one thing that concerns me is the clocking on the board phase alignments of multiple channels with some of The front of house mixes I’ve heard off of these boards the more channels that you start to stack the loss of dimension seems pretty striking whereas when you have a single speaker or say a singer with a piano there’s tremendous clarity

[@NashvillePastaman]

Of course I’m wondering is that a clocking issue, is that a converter issue, is it latency as you start to add digital processing which by nature creates latency

Thank you so much for the fast response to my comment. The only reason that I commented was because you started with two blank channels and never actually set up an input. I think our church board is using a usb connection for the live stream, so now I know what to look for and how to correct our volume for the feed. I have another very important question if you don't mind answering. Right now our church only has three singers that sing along with a backing track, no band. My question is: How do I get the backing track to be sent to 1 or two monitors so the singers can hear it better without having to turn up the mains too high. I was thinking about using the link connections on the back of the left and right mains and hard wiring them directly to the xlr in of the monitors but I would rather see if there was a way to rout the mains to two monitors on the x32 instead. Your help would be great!

[@AllamHouse]

You will use a MixBUS to build a mix to send to a monitor (wedge). By default, the XLR outputs are mapped to the MixBUS (Bus 1 -> XLR 1, Bus 2 -> XLR 2, etc) so you can connect the desired output to your monitor. This video talks about building sending inputs into your monitors kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKi8lIGfmq6GfJY

Hi, how can I get you to come a update my sound mix at my church. This so new to us, we are lost in doing the sound for streaming. However this is very helpful, our sound is so thin. Very technical, will try.

[@AllamHouse]

I’m happy to work on a consultation plan for you. To get things started, please fill out the contact card on my website at sound.AllamHouse.com

[@randyp731]

What else can I say but thank you! Our congregation has nothing but praise to our production team.. they can finally hear a good mix online. One issue I ran into is that now the main slider will not control the overall house mix. Not sure what I did wrong - any help would be appreciated.

[@AllamHouse]

Thanks for the encouragement, it's nice to hear of this information helping folks. Your issue sounds to me like you have a routing issue within the Routing > Outs area. Are you on a full-size console or a smaller platform like the Compact or Rack? Do you have stage boxes you are interacting with across AES50? Give me a little more information and I can look to help you. Worst case scenario we can setup a consulting call and I can look at your specific setup virtually and get it all fixed.

Great Video! Will you please do a supplemental video showing us your OBS settings?

[@AllamHouse]

I can, but it is a very simple setup. Our cameras and audio go into a Blackmagic (BM) video switcher. This goes across an AJA-Utap device to convert SDI->USB. OBS has the BM device setup as an audio input and a video input. The only additional thing we have is our lower -third lyrics coming across NDI from Pro7 into OBS as well.

[@cqmarty]

I put most of these tips into place on our M32R for services today and got lots of compliments. The FX in the livestream were exactly what we were missing. Thank you! In fact, I got so excited about getting the FX right that I have missed setting up the most important part: setting up the mixbus to post-fader! For now, I'm pretty sure the mixbus is still set at Sub Group. When the full band is going, the mixbus is loud and getting pretty deep into the orange on the meters. However, when it's just the pastor, I barely get two bars of green. Therefore, I need to adjust the mixbus fader during that transition from worship music to message and then again from message to closing music. Will this fix itself once I get it set to post fader? Will adding the limiter possibly help with this? I would rather not have to make this adjustment, but if I need to I will assign it to a DCA.

[@AllamHouse]

Go ahead and make that change to be a Post-Fader mix and the. You will have the flame in illy to turn up the pastors mic and make the fine adjustments to your stream mix. The limiter will also assist in getting the soft levels up while keeping the loud parts from clipping. I have my stream audio (music portion) just below clipping at -1 before it goes to our stream. I cover those settings in that video so you can go back and check over them using the quick links in the description.

[@gracerenews]

This was a very detailed presentation, but as a novice to the X32 mixer, I have a few questions. Now that a stream mix is built how do I get it to the streaming computer? Is mix Buses 11 and 12 automatically outputted to output 11 and 12 or does a routing need to be built to do this? If the output is on output 11 and 13 what kind of cable do I need with 2 XRL to connect on the mixer end and 1 usb on the computer end? I would also assume that routing can be set up to send these buses to the X32 USB 2.0 card interface. Once a stream mix is set up, if one week one of the singers or instruments is not in the band, does muting that input channel mute the channel for both the house and stream? If an additional instrument is added is that just a modification of the original sends on faders that set up the stream mix bus?

[@AllamHouse]

Most streaming devices only receive on USB 1/2 so this video discusses sending your mix to USB 1/2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKmXeZ13p7mYkKs If you need to make changes in your mix from week to week you can select the stream BUS, click ‘sends on fader’ and then you can mute the channel or turn it all the way down. Muting is the easier option so your settings are preserved for future weeks. Similar adjustments would be made for any instruments added in the future as well.

Thanks very much your tutorial was very helpful

[@AllamHouse]

[@zakaryhart6414]

This video was very helpful and I am excited to try this technique at our church. Our mix bus for livestream has always been post-eq (I think?) for the longest time but setting up post-fader makes so much sense. Question though... I use a bunch of DCAs to control various groupings in the house, will this affect the livestream mix as well? I hoping it will because it will be very convenient to be able to pull back the band DCA while the lead vocalist prays over and instrumental transition.

[@AllamHouse]

Yes, your DCAs effectively control the fader level of the inputs it is linked to, so in a Post Fader livestream setup the DCAs will impact the livestream volumes.

Love the video and I plan on going in this Saturday to set up….BUT I was waiting for you to show how to go into live stream software. We are using OBS. Do you have a video that I can follow from here to get it to the computer? I will be using USB. I’m getting excited because are live stream sounds like trash and I think this is it finally! Thank you again

[@AllamHouse]

That is exciting for sure. This video works in partnership with the other video we started our discussions on. This one talks about a full scene build. The other one (posted below) shows you the routing of getting that signal to go out USB 1/2 which is what your OBS software will receive. If you have questions about OBS I'm happy to assist, but I figure there are a number of videos out there that will walk you through adding an "Audio Input Source" into OBS and selecting the X-USB option.

@@AllamHouse UPDATE: So the set up went great! We got a much better sound going to the stream. There is some ground noise going on but it’s not too bad. I would like to clean that up. Any tips? We did run into a problem maybe you can also help. The church uses a windows laptop. Fairly new. OBS will not recognize the M32 interface in audio settings. But when I hook up my old MacBook, it will detect it on OBS. Only problem is for whatever reason, stream is real laggy on the Mac but fine on the windows. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Any idea why the windows OBS is not recognizing the m32? Software version for OBS is the same on both laptops. Thanks again!

[@AllamHouse]

That’s great news. The Windows computers do require a driver to be installed. Go to the Behringer website, search for x32 and scroll down the right to find ‘software’ and then you can download the X-ISB driver. For the ground noise, that is most likely coming from an instrument (bass guitar and keyboards are common offenders). Check your DI boxes to make sure the ground is lifted. Also, you can just mute all inputs and see if it is still happening and if not, then unmute channels one by one until you find the issue.

[@repentandfaith]

I just wanna say thank you. I'm brand new to mixing....and this is exactly what I was looking for, and I've seen a lot of videos so far to improve our stream "room". If there is one area I'm not sure about is how you getting an L/R instrument, for example your acoustic guitar. Are you getting L/R signals 29:40 as different inputs or are you somehow duplicating one input and assigning them to 2 channels.

[@AllamHouse]

You are exactly right, I am doubling the input into two channels. I actually cover this setup and processing in this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aanRgnmoZb13Zqs

Great vid, clears a lot of clutter! Thanks. Pls just an unrelated question: can you help with a couple links to routers that can work with the x32. Been reading a number of review about people having trouble with some routers and just thought to find out which one you've been successful with. I want to setup to control remotely as well. Thanks

[@AllamHouse]

We have two different routers we use in our worship center. The one that is dedicated for the soundboard is a basic Netgear router we picked up for about $40. It isn't anything fancy and only needs to offer connectivity for phones and tablets that are controlling the console. This router does NOT get internet access and is only an internal LAN. We also have a TP-Link router (TP-Link AC1750) that we use for all of our live streaming and NDI needs. This network does have internet and all devices are hardwired except for our courtesy monitor that is running across wifi. Also, the network is not used for anything outside of streaming so the bandwidth is dedicated to the stream.

Thanks so much for the live stream info works great. My current issue we have a vocalist which accentuates plosives a lot. I cannot find the right frequency to cut. Any Ideas?

[@AllamHouse]

Typically plosives happen in the 120-150 hz range. I usually use my low cut to sure this issue, but you could use your lowest EQ point if needed.

[@benjaminzieco]

Hello really learn a lot my questions is after the complete setup how will you live stream it live on Sunday so the viewers watching at home on obs live see and hear that great sound thanks 🙏

[@AllamHouse]

Thanks for the encouragement. Once you have built your mix you have an opportunity to route it wherever you need it to go for your streaming setup. Some groups route to AUX outs to send to an ATEM mini, my church uses XLR outs to go into an ATEM HD TV Studio and still others will send directly into a computer across USB to have software like OBS or VMix include it to your stream. This video here discusses the USB settings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKmXeZ13p7mYkKs

First, thanks, this is exactly what we're been looking for at our church. However, I'm a newbie, and the guy that set all this up is absent these days. Now that I've got this all set up, I'm assuming I want to send MIX BUS 11 & 12, and only 11&12, to the USB Card (our USB card goes to our vMix computer for streaming). I have no idea how to do this in routing. Can you give a quick instruction, or tell me where to go to get the info for that?

Thank you for the video! I've been coming back to this again and again. So if I want to add room mics to the livestream mix, and obviously not in the main mix, should I just unclick the "stereo bus" button as I would do for the effects?

[@AllamHouse]

Yes, that is exactly right. De-select the Stereo LR Bus button and it will not go to your FOH mix.

[@DanaTucker1]

[@beregila]

You have been greatly helpful, I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. I have a question: so, as we moved into a hybrid reality for Bible study, we just purchased a shure cvo overhead, so that people can hear in house discussion. Now, it’s gotten a little feedback-y because of gain. As we don’t really use the overhead for worship, is there a way to send it only to the bus mix and not master FOH? Or, do you have any suggestions for eq-omg overheads for auditorium/sanctuary? Thanks!

[@AllamHouse]

A crowd mix should pretty much have everything below 400hz rolled out and the rest will depend on the amount of PA and other things coming into it. You will have to crank the gain since the subjects tend to be far away. As for keeping it out of the mains, just simply select the channel and push the ‘stereo bus’ button next to the screen so it is NOT orange. This will make sure it doesn’t go to the mains and then you can send it into your stream or monitors. I cover these concepts in this video about monitors. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKi8lIGfmq6GfJY

[@gracenotes5379]

Nicely and comprehensively explained! Question: I am prone to clipping on the liked mix bus pair I use for the stream, even though all the sends to that bus are at 0dB or below and are post-fader sends. The sum of the same channels in the main stereo L&R busses is nowhere near clipping according to the meters. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

[@AllamHouse]

I would make sure your EQ, Comp and any limiting are turned off on your stream BUS. Check your signal level and then add back each one, one at a time and see what effect they are having on the output level.
