May the Most High God continue to bless you and your ministry, Greenridge Baptist Church! I thank you so much for the detailed information in a short, simple, and systematic way. Your method of teaching about the Behringer X32 has made it very interesting and fun to learn! Your style: uncomplicated instructions and positive guidance! Again, may the Most High God continue to bless you and your ministry...and thank you so much! 👍👏
What the DCA (Digital Control Amplifier) do is it adds or subtracts a fixed amount of dbs from each channel assigned to it. So lets say Channel 1 is assigned to a DCA and its' fader is set to -5 db, if you raise the DCA fader to 5 db then the resultant output from that channel will be Unity or 0 db. If you lower the DCA to say -5 db then the resultant output of that channel will now only be -10 db. The control to each channel of the DCA will be the sum of the fader plus whatever the DCA fader is set to. If channel 2 is also assigned to the DCA and its' fader is set to -10 db, then the two results above would be -5 db and -15 db for that channels amplifier output.
This is the best explaination of sends on fader I heard so far. I didn't know bus, sends, and monitors where the same thing. Sends on fader means you are sending the control of the monitors to the faders. This cleared up my confusion.
I don't know how to thank you a zillion times. You're an excellent teacher and I'm following right away. My church is planning to get this Wing x32 pretty soon and there are many sure things I need to know about it.
God bless your ministry. God has given you the ability to communicate technical information, clearly and concisely. Thank you !!! Problem: 1) Drummer may have tried to adjust his channels on PA after rehersal was over 2) Came back the next day and none of his drums are coming through front of house. 3) I will need to check the drum DCA group to make sure it is not turned down 4) Need to understand what the routing should look like from lets say drum inputs mic channels 2-6, and how they get routed to output mains 15 & 16 to front of house. speakers. He may have changed the routing unknowingly. Again excellent video. Thanks again, Rich
This was very helpful for me. I recently bought the X32 Rack. Your lessons on the X32 were great thank you 🙏. DCA= Digital Controlled Amplifier. Not exactly sure how “Cue” in this meaning applies to the X32 but this is what I was able find. To cue audio is to determine the desired initial playback point in a piece of recorded music. It is a technique often used in radio broadcasting and DJing. One dictionary definition is to "Set a piece of audio or video equipment in readiness to play (a particular part of the recorded material)." If this helps you in any way. Please enlighten me (us) thank you 🙏.
Thank you! Your presentation is still very helpful! We unboxed the X32 at our church yesterday and the board is simply overwhelming... I greatly appreciated this presentation.
we're currently using a analog mixer but thinking of getting a digital mixer for our church hopefully this year, but watching your video bring so much insight of how it works it comparing to a analog one. Thank you for this amazing video,God bless
I'm from Indonesia, thank you teacher for the knowledge you have taught me, I really like it. I got additional lessons from the teacher, this was very useful for me.
Excellent video! Thank you! We're considering the X32 for our church. Certainly don't need 32 channels, but we're also still growing. This will be a huge upgrade from our 20yo Mackie!
Good video, but theirs at least two issues I see, Which one might be because of the time this video was uploaded which means that that firmware version might not of been available “V4.0 or later”, I’ll get to that one later, but 1st: It would be nice if you explain the A under the channel, because if someone’s watching your video and see that you have it and their mixer doesn’t having because of using local or setup for local they might get confused or worry something is wrong with their mixer because it doesn’t have the A on it, so I’ll explain it (or try to) When using a stage box (or digital snake) using a Shielded CAT5e cable from mixer to stage box and settings up the routing for the stage box, it is using AES50 port A or port B, and the “A” in the video under the channel’s label/name is to let the user know that channel is from AES50 A or AES50 port A not the local XLR on the back of the mixer, hopefully that explain why theirs an “A” on the scribble script or LCD screen. On to the newer version of firmware available to the mixer “X32”, the newer version 4, has what is called user patch points, which by the way, in the old versions, when routing you had to do it in blocks of 8 (1-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-32), and it was an all or nothing kind of thing, meaning if a user want to use channels 1-5 for local XLR and use channels 10-15 for AES50 (or stage box), can’t all batch blocks of 8 have to be local or AES50, ETC… But now in V.4 and later, can assign the block channel to user In or user section and goto the the patch points and user section and assign each channel where they need to go now in a batch of 8 channels block, not anymore, personal I like to have everything going to that user section as don’t have to move around the other pages too much. I think that it for the two issues I say… Now I’m going explain about what some has mentioned in the comments here for recording to a computer or virtual Soundcheck: 1) need to make sure your using USB cable and port on the back of the X32 and using the one from the card and not the one says remote on it. 2) if using windows based computers, then need to download and install the software and driver for the X32, 1st, then you can use a DAW app, too get audio into the computer… 3) on the X32 if you used the local XLR connection on the back of X32 at 1st then later switch to a stage box and using AES50 A or B for the source and not the local XLR connection, then need to change the card listing source, because by default (or out of the box) the card is set to the local XLR connection, when using a stage box and AES50, got to tell the card in the routing menu on the X32 to use the AES50 A or B port(s), depending on what is used and setup for use, if the card routing isn’t changed to use AES50 and left on local it’s going to be listening and output them out to the computer from the local XLR connection and not any AES50 A and/or B ports if and when used, so got to make sure that the card page is changed if using a stage box. TIP: If I remember correctly, that the tab/page for P16 name has been changed in V.4 and later to be Ultranet. And the color scheme on V.4 is alot better if using the X32 in a dark room, because it’s no longer white background it more have a dark gray to almost black color but not totally black color, tho, which in my opinion easier and better to look at the screen when the room is dark or dimmed… Well, hope this info help someone out their understanding the “A” in the video and also info about the card and some info with V.4
You did an incredible job explaining that. I've watched several tutorials on this board and this by far has been the most beneficial and informative. Blessings to you and your ministry.
We're changing our church's console from analog to x32. I was looking for a good training video.. i love the way how you explained all the necessary stuffs. Thank you. Great content
This has been a great insider to the basics of using this desk :) This video has really helped me get a better idea of how things work. The way you described how things work but giving them in different meanings helped me a lot. Thank you
On most mixer boards and probably on this one the Direct Outs come from the early part of the gain structure of the channel. Most of the time you pick them off just after the Gain control of the channel. They are used to send the unprocessed signal either to device to process it before bringing into another channel or they are used to get raw unprocessed signal to send to a recording device to be played back and processed in the future.
Hello, sir Paul. I've learned a lot from your video tutorials. I have seen many tutorials on RUclips, you are different, awesome and you have gradually explained each section of the X32 mixer. Especially to someone like me who wants to learn. Right now I have a plan to buy so before I buy I need to have knowledge even just basic. I am an electronic technician and I wish to learn more on mixing console. I would like to ask a favor if you can make step by step video tutorials on how to use those knobs, faders, group routing, aux sends, buttons and other functions of x32 mixer. From philippines. Thank you very much.
As far as you know, the eight output faders can be configured as input faders to have 24 input faders at hand at the same time without having to change layers. It would be useful for live. With the compact model it is possible by pushing 1-8 and 9-16 at the same time even if it does not appear in the manual.
Brother you are too good in your explanation. The doubts which I had in this same machine is very well cleared. God bless . Please add some of your choir mixing if you can . ❤
Still haven't found what i'm looking for, a video which will show me how to set up a mic for flat EQ no reverb, no effects, etc. I do audio at a church and the quick start guide is useless.
Not me tryna learn to use this before I have to go check tmrw
Same bro 🤣🤣
You and the rest of us lol
Lmaooooo I swear bro
Here I am for the same reason as yall boys
Same bro except I have used it and have a while before the gig@@Jgriffin804

Better tutorial than most of those out there. Thank you!
Great video , thanks for sharing ! Really helpful for starters to jump in and connect the dots when they are at the board itself. 👏
Really great instruction. Clear and to the point. Thanks 🙏
Great rundown! Thanks for the overview!
This video helps me @ my church in sound production. Learning new things sharpens my skill set. Thank you.
Best training i have had so far with the behringer x32. thank you
You did an incredible job explaining that. I've watched several tutorials on this board and this by far has been the most beneficial and informative. Blessings to you and your ministry.
You are. Your explanation makes difficulty easy
wow! Best presentation on the X32 by far! You made the complex simple for an alternate volunteer! Thanks!
We are new to the X32 and M32 Mixers. I appreciate how you broke each section down, God bless you. Do you have any more tutorials?
We're changing our church's console from analog to x32.
I was looking for a good training video.. i love the way how you explained all the necessary stuffs. Thank you. Great content
This is the most helpful video on how to use this console. I'm going to keep watching this particular one till I became a pro at it. Thank you so much
Thanks so much. I started to learn sound mixer this year and your explanation is simple and easy to follow.
This has been a great insider to the basics of using this desk :) This video has really helped me get a better idea of how things work. The way you described how things work but giving them in different meanings helped me a lot. Thank you
Wow. This is so easy to follow that I actually learned how to operate my board. Many thanks to you!
Thank you very much for this. I especially liked how you explained about gain in a very simple manner.
