Like a lot of weekend warriors I have to mix from the stage, so I wanted something that would allow me to use an iPad or smartphone to do sound checks out in the audience. I have been looking at digital mixers for a long while now, trying to weigh up all the options and price points. But this whole topic is quite subjective ? you better check this out for yourself.

Than even bigger show won?t be a problem. I would be nice, if someday you could hook up one Behringer BCF 2000 faderpack to the XControl and lock it to the eight virtual DCA faders. In addition, I?m quite sure, that there is more to come from Behringer, which will enhance this topic a bit further. Ok, I won?t do a festival with it, but for smaller set ups or repetitive events (same band) it works really well in the present development status in my eyes.
BEHRINGER X32 RACK MANUAL SOFTWARE
Both is doable, but you have to embrace the software or at least learn to love it. During my days with the X32 Rack I mixed sets solely on the XControl or the XiControl. If the laptop or the iPad fails, you have always one interface left. This speeds up the workflow and it is quite safe too. The nice thing with the X32 gear is, that you can mix bigger shows simultaneously with the X- and the XiControl. I have a SAC and recording studio background, so I?m used to do sound with Mouse and Keyboard only. Mixing without faders is absolutely possible, but it might be not for everyone. I'm Glad that Behringer's still updates this consoles, they are very good for their price and fully featured. I'm writing this comment few days after Firmware 4.0 release and it works without any problems so far. Well… it could contain inbuild Wi-Fi at least, but hey - Mikrotik doesn't cost much and since I'm IT guy normally this is not much problem for me cause I can use that for more things like connecting also X-Touch to this - or - maybe even doing with Dante in future. And well… 8 XLR outputs + 6 Aux outputs gives me possibility of making 7 stereo IEMs for band members which is very great! Since I used normal X32 previously and I knew it already it was very easy to set it up.Īll 16 inputs with additional Auxes can be very useful for personal IEMs, since it's possible to get 16 mics into "board" and additional keyboards or anything which gives me at most 22 channels without using any additional digital snake (like S16).

Friend of mine uses Soundcraft Ui24R but I really didn't like it's remote web interface. I'm building personal monitoring Rack for band and X32Rack was the only choice.
