- In this video, I use the Behringer X-Live expansion card on the Behringer X32 for a Virtual Sound Check with no external computers. I will often recommend recording mid-week rehearsals or events so that you have some audio from your space to practice mixing, or train volunteers and new staff.
Here is the SanDisk SDHC 32GB Card that I recommend: amzn.to/3eH8hZP

I found a way to use a larger capacity SD card, so you're not limited to the 32GB maximum -- just wanted to share in case anyone has the same needs as me. I'm using a 256GB version of the card Drew recommends and getting 11.5h of available recording time on 32 channels. 1) Do not attempt to format the card in the X32 Live - it will just show up as "ERROR". 2) Use EaseUS Partition Master (or another 3rd party disk management software) to format the card as FAT32 (Windows can only format high-capacity SD cards as exFAT for some reason). Thank you to several commenters from the Sweetwater reviews for pointing this out, and thank you Drew for always making such great instructional videos, without which I would be completely lost.
You saved my sanity. Thanks Bro for your awesome work !❤
Thank you for this great tutorial, I've been looking for a X-Live SD card virtual sound check tutorial for a while, but haven't found one that was so clear. This is super helpful. Will be giving this a spin soon.
❤ my man, you have no idea how much time and frustration you saved me. I am beyond thankful for your videos, and in particular this one this week. Thank you so much for all the work that you do. You're amazing! Please keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you! I have a card on the way and feel I know what I need to get it going quickly, as time is always the issue. Great series of videos, very helpful and straight to the point.
Brother, you have no idea how many times you have saved me especially under pressure to get something done. Thank you so much for all you do.
I have been playing in a band and running sound for many years. I’m old school from the analog world but I have some years of experience in the digital world. Your videos have helped me tremendously !!! You are very knowledgeable and the way you present things are very helpful !!!! Keep up the killer work, dude !!!!!
So helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Drew 👏🏻 fab video will be great for training new members to our team. It hard to train with band needing your assistance also. 😵💫🙌🏼
Thanks very much Drew
Thank you very much!
Hey Drew! I'd love to see a vid (vids?) going further into scenes, cues, snippets etc. WHen to use which, and using MIDI to plug them into a performance that uses a midi track!
I ordered the x-live card at the same time I ordered my x32 three years ago. Had big plans for it lol. Truth is, there's never enough time to use it. I do mostly one offs where I'm also setting up a pa. I saved shows for the Fab Four and acts that use the same setup every time and found that incredibly useful. But the virtual soundcheck isn't usually an option for me due to time and noise restrictions. Too bad lol. It looks SO good on paper!
Nice! :)
Great stuff as usual! How about a tutorial on recording with the channel strip and effects going on to the card?
I always get a huge boost in volume during play back,
Hi Drew ! A great tutorial Thanks a lot !!!! When i set a marker for a part of a song is it possible to loop that section on the console ?
Thanks for this video Drew. Do you have any plans to do a similar video for the Behringer Wing?
Hi, if I already have a mix in my card, using my m32 live card, can I playback my sesión and, at the same time, record using Logic Pro in multitrack mode? Thanks for all your videos
Drew all your videos are making me a way better sound dude that what I actually am hahah…. Could you please do a video on midi into the x32. Lots of people would use pro presenter being able to do some things on the x32 with midi from there would be great like setting a macro to control some settings changes on the desk
Thanks Drew! When recording 32 channels to the SD card, are you forced to also output all 32 on the USB, or can you still choose from the other options (2, 8, 16…)?
Hi Drew, good stuff! Do you have a video showing how to send 32 channel audio to a computer using the x live card-
Is there any way to run waves plugins and record at the same time?
My group plays with backing tracks coming from the USB plugged into the X32. We can record all our instruments on the XLive but not the backing tracks. Anyway to do that?
good info !!! do you know the setup for using both usb and sdcard at the same time ?
04:30 the "auto" mode is very neat
Hey Drew, do you know if I can rename my recordings in the SD card? Just to be easier organising and find the files
Hey Drew, how do you update the XUSB audio driver? I've noticed that there is a new version 5.12.0. Thanks as always.
Hi Drew, could you please also do how to set up virtual soundcheck on the X32 using Studio One DAW? This would be much appreciated. Thanks
Can I record both the multritrack as well as the mix out LRC to the SD card ? Also, is it possible to be recording both on the SD card at the back AND on the USB stick in the front ?
Our church has a X32 for Livestream & M32 for FOH, and one X-Live card. If we record on the X32 then pull the card and install it in the M32, will the X32 recording work for a virtual sound check or no? The two mixers are basically the same built in software. Thanks for all your videos! God Bless
Can you multitrack while still using the waves card?
I did everything as he said and the first time I had no problems with it. But after a week a couldn’t play my recorded session any idea why?????
Can the xlive32 card be installed onto a Midas M32r or should I get the DN32-live card ?
I'd love a video explaining how to get this audio as multi tracks into pro tools. I know it's easy on reaper but I'm pro tools certified and I couldn't figure out.... 😐
Imho the X-Live is the most useful add-on you can get. Loving it and using it all the time.
Even 128 or 256GB cards work without a problem - just format them with FAT32 on a pc.
I use UserIns on the board and the card setup - that way I only have to configure them on one spot and they‘re always the same.
Remember to save a scene with your settings for each input configuration, otherwise you might get a nice chaos playing back some old recordings…
Hi @magicmaui77, how do you format a 64gb card to Fat32 in windows?
@@RadioActiveBD There are many tools available - I‘ve used the HP USB Storage format tool
Hello thanks for the video.
I’m struggling to find a virtual Soundcheck playback solution for my specific scenario.
I’m using the Wing, sending 48 i/o to Logic through WDante. Up until there it’s good, I can monitor the recorded audio through the headphone jack or internal speaker in the Mac mini. But Now I’m struggling trying to send the raw audio back to wing via Dante, to everything individual channel it was recorded from, so that I can run virtual sound checks. If possible can you or anyone in the comments help clarify this, or lead me to another good video? Thank you.
👏👏👏
Hi Drew. I recently downloaded some multitrack recordings from telefunken-elektroakustik to practice on my m32r live console; in wav format 41-24. My console is set to 41 too. I copied the files to my class 10 sd card but m32r live does not display the files. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Maybe I'm not setting the card correctly? The routing in REC and PLAY is as you explain in the video. What am I missing?
Hey Drew! Really appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. I’m at a church not far from where you’re currently serving. After watching your most recent videos on virtual sound check and logic I think I just have one question. We are mixing in logic for our broadcast mix and sending it back through X32 to an Aux send and back out XLR into an audio interface that connects to our video stream computer. You mentioned this card could record using the USB and SD card function simultaneously. With how we’re running things, does that sound like we would be able to still mix and record multi track at the same time?
My friend I currently have the same setup at my church I will try this if I have an answer I will definitely drop it here for you as well
@@Phantom5514 The answer is yes 👍
Is there a way you can make similar video with a QU-32?
Hey :) Is it possible to record 32track on SD and playback virtual inputs through USB (DAW Cubase, card in 1-8), at the same time? Thanks! :)
Hi Drew. Can you tell me why my playback with the xlive card is louder than the actual performance in the room? The significant difference in volume prevents me from making good mixing decisions using this method of virtual sound check. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi. Did you figure out why this was happening?
Hey Drew.
I use an M32. Is there any benefit to using the Klark Teknik DN32-LIVE in the M32 over the Behringer X-Live card? I'm pretty sure the latter works with the M32 and the PreAmp are what makes the difference, not the record chip (as far as I'm aware). DN32-Live is only $90 more but if no diff, I'll save my $$
Your thoughts Please
Thanks for your great videos too ... been following you for quite some time and can't thank you enough!
Best regards
Thanks for this video but my question is different from this video.
What is the format type (Fat32, XFat or NTFS) your usb should be in before you can use it to record on MxAir 16?
Thanks...
Thanks for your question, Shedrach. The MR16 uses a USB cable to connect to your computer for recording to a DAW, so there is no need to format a usb for recording. If you are referring to the USB ports on the other models of the X-Air I know that Behringer recommends FAT32 the usb thumb drives.
Hey Drew, thanks for sharing with us! Is it possible to use the USB AND the SD card at the same time?
As he mentioned in the video, you can record to both, but on playback from one at a time.
Is 32gb the max for each SD slot?
Thanks for such great videos! Why is my Midas M32 Live creating a single wav file in my SD card? Im routing my inputs correctly and still creates a single file instead of multitrack😔
Having the same issue... Did you get a solution?
Are you able to do simultaneous recording to the built in USB recorder as well as the x-live?
Yes you are able to record to the SD cards of the X-Live and the USB connection to your computer.
Is it possible to remix a DAW channel? I would like to run e.g. the keys of the DAW through my 201 Tapeecho (Return of the Tapeecho is on a channel of the X32 - so I can record it without problems). So play a DAW channel to the X32, ad analog FX withe the Tape Echo on Aux and record it again on the DAW... that would make me very happy 🙂 thank you 🙏🏼
its possible to do de same using the usb port in the front ? recording multitrack on USB stik
No, there you can only record the main stereo mix.
@@wolfgangruthensteiner5018 thank you
You can only record two channels, but they don't have to be the main stereo out. For example, I record our Livestream mix from Bus 1/2.
Hi! I have the problem, that my virtual soundcheck is in summary louder than the original sound of the band. How can that be? The trims are at 0dB. Are there any additional settings I have to consider? Thanks in advance for your reply. Best regards, Johannes
We use a Midas DL32 Stagebox. Could it be that the different Gain Increments could affect this? X32 Gain in 0,5dB increments, Stagebox in 2,5dB?
How can I get the stems recorded on the SD card to load into a DAW?
Look up RUclips video by Ruling Note Music "How to convert x32/m32 Multitrack Recordings From SD Card to Mix in Studio One
So that’s how the swap works. Spent hours on this the other day with an M32. The manual really isn’t clear in this regard.
Can you record to both xlive card and through a computer using Dante simultaneously; and could you share how to set that up? Thank you!
I believe the Dante card has no SD card slots. It’s a separate plug-in card.
@@DaleChristenson I thought so, that's why I wondered if you could do both at the same time.
@@aaronaustin7760 , that would require a second card slot. The X32 and M32 have only one expansion card slot.
@@DaleChristenson Thank you!
the X-Live card can also handle bigger SD-card than 32 GB. But you can´t format SD cards with more than 32 GB within the card (x32 / m32 mixer)
You have to insert larger SD cards into your computer and format them to fat32 if you want to erase recordings on them an reuse the cards with the X-Live card.
Please always test the cards before use. That is also useful for 32 GB cards. The card have to be fast enough (Class 10).
Very unreliable console. I got the card you recommended, and there are a ton of dropouts. I also see a ton of people complaining online about the xLive having issues like this amd more; Sandisk SD cards. 😤 So much money and time invested in this X32 console and has always been glitchy.
when i tried this i only got the effects all other channels were not there
