Your video's are very informative. I have previously been using a 16ch Yamaha analog. Switched to an xr18 and mr18 for last 8 years and have been doing small gigs and they have worked very well. I just purchased an X32C and have just began using it. And because of this, I discovered your videos. Thank You!

Well i have M32R, M32, Studiolive 32, Studiolive 32SC, Studiolive 32R. My experience is Midas routing settings is mess... With Presonus i have done what ever i want. Try to route Midas M32 talkback to IEM mixer?! Let me know how its possible without using free channel. I compared both mixers preamp frequencys. Almost identical eq curve - Presonus have brighter high end. I can choose in Presonus every channel diffrent eq and compressor plugins. I agree that Presonus FX are weird and not ready for go on the fly... you need to setup your FX's presets beforehand. After setup the FX's works fine. Presonus AVB network is something like Dante network - route anywhere. Also Presonus 32 mixers have 16 physical outputs and LR outputs. I can do 8 stereo IEM mixes right away... Presonus Studiolive 64 is double amount on in and out channels. Monitor mixing is with one button push - no sends on fader button. You can put any channel to user layer using 32 faders... 24 DCA groups possible... Mixer working in backround if you enter DAW mode. You can use Studio one DAW to run extra plugins. Very good Show page system to run backingtracks and control plugins at live show. With USB you can record 64 inputs anywhere in network and send out 64 outputs anywhere to connected consoles. I am intrested what can Allen Heat offer more what i owning. i dont have experience SQ series and waiting to get hands on them

Thanks for the mixer rundown. I've been using a Midas M32 (not the Behringer X32) and it's been a reliable workhorse. Previously, I used an analog Mackie 3204 and a Yamaha TF3 with Dante. I'm curious about a comparison between the M/X32 and TF mixers, especially given your comments about the TF series. I found the TF to be particularly user-friendly, with a less cluttered layout that was ideal for the volunteers I had using it. The TF venue was a church, with minimal configuration needs and ample stage box capacity. For versatility, I'd also recommend the M32 or X32, but they require more training for volunteers.

Midas MR18 here...🙋‍♂️

Recently I've been looking into what sound desk to buy as I'm starting to work individually with bands as well as at already set up venues, so this video is perfect timing. I've been trying to find any reason to not get an SQ-5, because while I love them and chances are I will absolutely get one, I feel like there may be something better that I'm just not aware of. Lets be real though, I'm gonna end up with an SQ-5 ;)

SQ7. There is the answer! Cheap and handy.

4 years ago, I decided to pick up a dLive C1500/CDM32 rig, and I've ended up flying all over the place with it, also super easy to chuck in the car by myself, and go mix a gig. Next week I've got an S3000 DM48 package coming for a venue I'm upgrading 👍🏼

I was curious to know your history with presonus xD our band bought a mackie dl16. It's serving us well!

Xair/xr18 can also be used as a expansion if you just plop the main left and right into 2 stereo channels for whatever mixer you currently have. Including analog mixers, Which can be handy if you have a stage that might not have a sound engineer all the time

What are your arguments against Presonus and why are you so excplicitely not recommending it? I am using a StudioLive 16.0.2 USB and need to upgrade to 32 inputs and I am thinking of a StudioLive 32SC + NSB 16.8 Stagebox, what would fit my limited budget. Judging from many reviews and tests, the quality should be similar to the A&H Qu-24, and I love the Fat Channel workflow and - as a not professional sound guy - also the channel presets that can be used a basis for fine-tuning.

The Studiolive series 3 mixers have been very good for me for the last 5 years. Whether using physical control or virtual I’ve been very happy. Especially when doing events that have no true front of house. I say once you find something good to work with, just stick with it.

We're in the process of upgrading our consoles to Yamaha DM7's for our venue. We have a pm7 for our main stage, but needed more consoles for our breakout rooms and for our other stages. We were using m32's, and they've been fine mixers, but I really like the dm7 and can't wait for them all to arrive. Dante chips have been difficult for our vendor to get ahold of, so it's been a bit of a wait.

I've had my Behringer XR18 for about 10 years now. It's been rock solid!

I have recently began using my first digital mixer, a Yamaha DM3. I also have a Swissonic router that conects the mixer to an ipad and they connect via 5GHz, so I am above all of the punters phones on WIFI 2.4Ghz. I am still learning as I have always used analogue desks for over 40 years but so-far-so-good. My outboard compressors/gates, crossovers and fx have all gone as the ones built into the DM3 software sound great to me. I agree with you mixing on a physical desk as opposed to a virtual one on a tablet but the iPad does come in handy just to wander around the room a couple of times during the performance to check the mix balance. I am nowhere near in the same league as most of you guys as I just do sound for a female vocalist who uses backing tracks but even at this level the desk is an improvement over my old analogue ones, plus it is physically much smaller and lighter which is a benefit.

Honest question, the Presonus mixer look good on paper. But why not get one? What is the reason you advice against it?

I've been running shows with my X32 Rack and DL32 stage box (the true Midas preamps definitely sound a bit nicer/warmer/fuller than the Behringer/Midas preamps), an iPad and 22 inch touch screen with mini PC bolted on the back running Mixing Station, and the occasional X-Touch if I want physical faders (which is almost never). Has been working great for me! Bands rarely ever need more than 24 channels around here. Wasn't a fan of the PreSonus StudioLive mixers (had the 32sc and 24r), the UI24r and UI16 mixers were neat but kind of toyish. I might still pick up an X32 Compact, but hoping Behringer or Midas has something new and cooler coming out sometime soon... The Midas M32R's tiny screen is the big thing preventing me from buying that (don't want to have to keep finding my glasses. Lol).

Living on the edge.

I have a Behringer X32 rack, 16 channels of rack mounted splitters, 16 channels of direct outs on a patch panel, 3 IEM wireless channels plus another output panel for 2 wedges, a sub and mains - All in a 6u rack that takes up very little stage space. All my 5 piece band's inputs go into that. 80% of the time we have a sound guy with a separate FOH system so the direct outs go to him and the X32 handles IEM, Wedge Mixes and recording to the X-Live card using custom Mixing Station layouts. 20% of the time we don't have a sound guy, so I mix from stage using a tablet out front to get a decent mix during a quick soundcheck. Once a year, I add an S16 stage box to the system to do monitors at a small festival.

i see i am not the only one that hates the StudioLive series

Every SQ I've used so far has had sticky faders/ faders that don't return to -infinity. Otherwise I really enjoy the simplicity and workflow on the SQ's.

I have two XR18's and rack M32C and I have the big M32 mixer. All for different use and events we do. LOVE them all ! was never a fan of the work flow with A&H (personal)

i use Allen and heath sq6 at my church and i love that Mixer.

Great video. Love my SQ5 and CQ20B! DLive is next when I can afford it

😊 It could only happen to a sound engineer

Great video! One more sub. Best regards from Spain!

This was really helpful

what if your subs have to be 6 or so feet infant of the array. Is it fine to delay the line array to get close with the subs?

Great video and run through. I also work in an events space, but not nearly as big and fancy as this one. Great space and great gear!

Massive tuition ❤❤❤

Great presentation ❤

Power? Really? These need power?

Usually called a lighting director / LD here

❤

Great video and I stumbled on many of those mistakes over the years too. 15 hr days - focused till the band plays a slow song ….

Good, helpful video! I'm curious though, can you set up an effects send/return on a digital mixer for external effects? Like is that possible? I'm new to digital mixers and I don't even have one yet, but I'm curious if I could use my own effects as outboard gear still? Anyway...thanks!

The way you moved that mic stand at 18:19 made me nervous. I was waiting for the cable to get caught and the mic to crash down on the floor.

The Dante setup was the only thing that didn't quite hit the mark. But the gear itself was awesome! I had to use Dante Controller software because it wasn't built-in to the mixer. I'm gonna look for a video on setting up a virtual sound check with Dante playback and saving it as a scene. That way, I can keep the same channel EQ for the show and not have to double-check everything before the band gets there and I switch to the show scene.

Your video on the M32 was comprehensive and informative. Your extensive experience with the console is evident in your ability to effectively configure it and present it in this video.

Great video, and thanks for your honesty. I've definitely been caught not doing the simple things first as well. For me, power cycling doesn't explain or solve the problems; it just makes them disappear. When I'm close to showtime, I'll accept "go away," but I'll never fully trust that gear again.

Thankyou.Can I use a pad switch instead of using a Di box when using the keyboard and when inputing it through the microphone input?Assuming am asing the snake cable

I'm really, really cheap............................... I can't afford multiple pairs of home speakers. That's why I triamp at home. I can go from Klipsh Heresy horns to JBL L100 cones with only a midrange driver change. Etc. Etc. Cheap and easy. Enjoy lots of combos without buying a lot of polished bespoke wooden boxes. So says an old DJ.👍 Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊 PS, And it's not dumping very expensive "hifi" watts into caps, coils & resistors as heat.

thanks for your honestness,your right,not many admit faults. these are more usefull,than ppl think. eh,you did what I would do...ask 4 help. hard to do,but that was a proffessional decison. thx-COREY

This was great.

Feeling that my DriveRack is a little outdated...

I was just about to search for more information about this cause of the Rivage & the Rio racks Andrew you Legend 👌🏾🙏🏾

Incredible work! What brand/model speakers do you recommend for medium/small venues? I just installed A15's in ours, and I think they sound great, but curious what your favorite is.

Thank you sir

There’s a 32-track dual SD card expansion card available for the x32, if you’re using one as well. Awesome video ⭐️

It's Lyd!

Nice one bruv...the simplicity of the beat plus u rap🔥🔥💯..u nailed it bruv
