Behringer x32 offline editor8/20/2023 ![]() These forums are full of folks that can help.Ĭlick to expand.The offline software is the X32 EDIT, and can be found here: Once you've played a bit and roughed in things more, you can overwrite this. Go easy, but create a nice stereo sound field for yourself (Note: Each mix can pan each input differently!) STEP 11: SAVE. Tip: don't pan anything full hard L/hard R. Who wants what where? If you have stereo capabilities, you can rough in panning as well. STEP 10: Rough in your aux sends for each channel. STEP 9: Adjust your input gains, select which FX units you want in your FX slots 1-4 (reverb, delay, chorus, whatever). If you ever need to blow it away back to 0 without a complete console reset, this is your scene. This is now your baseline starting point. I recommend using ALL CAPS when labeling, as reading things at a glance on stage is just easier. (1 links to 2 3 links to 4 etc.) STEP 6: Run the Master Fader for each Mix Bus pair up to 0 dB. It will link to the adjacent even-numbered bus. On each odd numbered Mix Bus, there's an option to Stereo Link. This may mean you'll need a couple of TRS to XLR-M adapters, depending on what your downstream IEM hardware is. This can be done from the Routing tab in the Offline Editor, or from the mixer hardware itself. You'll just need to re-map the Aux Out 1-4 connectors to be fed from Mix Bus 7-10. I believe XLR 1-6 are by default mapped to Mix Bus 1-6, so these can stay as well for 3 stereo mixes. As you mentioned, XLR 7-8 are pre-mapped for the L/R Main mix, so we can leave those alone. ![]() STEP 4: As for physical outputs, you have 8 on XLR, plus the additonal 6 1/4" TRS aux outputs. Listening in mono is no fun, and mixing in mono to achieve a clear, coherent mix is difficult at best. (For a mono setup, you'd just use the odd numbered Bus to start). STEP 3: Since you have plenty of Busses available (12 + FX), even if your IEM packs or transmitters are not currently set up for/capable of stereo, I recommend setting the Mix Busses up to be linked in pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc) so each musician has a stereo mix and it's a super easy switch when the time comes. No more yelling at one band member to "fix their sound"! STEP 2: The Mix Busses should be set to Pre-Fade from each channel - this means you (or an engineer) can build a separate Main Mix for the PA and it won't disturb your monitor mixes. And to add to your other post, each person can download an app on their smart device, connect to the wireless access point you set up, and adjust their own mix themselves. By using a different Mix Bus for each musician, everyone gets their own independent mix. And you can start off by having 5 separate mixes - may as well start from where you need to be, right? STEP 1: You will want to use Aux mixes for IEM mixes (labeled as Mix Bus in the software), not the main mix. All routing, labeling, and general levels and panning of things all pre-set and ready to go. The beautiful thing is that you can build all of this offline (not connected to the mixer), directly on your computer with the offline editor software, and then either save to a USB stick or connect your computer to the mixer, and upload to the mixer on the next rehearsal. Second question.is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do, putting the main mix into 5 separate in ear monitors by configuring things to go from 5 separate outputs straight to the IEMs? Eventually we are hoping to have individual headphone mixes controlled with apps.but for now just trying to get the main mix into each of the 5 IEMs. My problem is that I can't seem to find anywhere that explains how, on the x32 rack (I've seen multiple videos on how to do it on the non rack x32s) to assign it to a matrix.so the first question is how the heck do I do it? Two questions: first, I can't see in the manual how to actually assign the main mix to a matrix (I was able to configure things such that analog out 1 is matrix 1, analog out 2 is matrix 2.I left outputs 7 and 8 alone because they are the main outs). As I understand it I need to assign the main mix to a matrix that I then assign to one of the analog XLR outputs that I will then plug in to the in ear monitor receiver channel inputs on each transmitter. One of the members of my band purchased an x32 rack to use as a mixer to route sound from our instruments to individual band member in ear monitors.
