Hi NightFever, if you're asking can you do a different EQ on each Aux send, then the answer is yes. Just like the input channels, each Aux Send has it's own EQ, Gate, and Compressor that can be adjusted independently from every other send. The same applies to the Master Left/Right output, that also has it's own EQ and Compressor. If I've misunderstood your question, or you were asking about something else, please let me know.

happy to help. It's crazy how many people have this issue. Enjoy your functional headset !! :)

I have Ipad instructions in this video starting around the 16 minute mark. Are you saying your iPad screen looks different that what I have later in the video? If so, what app are you using?

You're welcome

Yeah. Sadly you can’t do that on each channel. It is a shame but most interfaces like this are the same. If you want the fx and dynamics and filters, you need to use either the main L/R or Aux sends. It’s definitely a pain in the butt!

@@QuickEZ Thank you so much for your answer. If I send channels to Aux buses internally. Would that incur in extra latency. Probably not because is internal. Right?

@@QuickEZ Also. Do you happen to know if the Behringer XR18 / MIDAS MR18 allows to record with strip FX easily without Aux routings or such things? Thank you.

using the Aux bus shouldn't incur much if any additional latency. However, any processing you put the signal through can and will introduce latency. meaning, if you process your signal through EQ, compression, FX...each one of those steps can introduce latency. It may or may not be too much for you to deal with. Every person experiences latency different and some people are far most sensitive to it.

The XR18 / MR 18 have the ability to select the tap point for the USB sends. Meaning you can send your signal to the computer with your EQ, Comp etc included. What you won't be able to do is send your FX on the same channel unless it's an inserted effect. You can however send your FX returns to your DAW on different channels so that you can mix them into your final DAW product. You just have to give up a some USB channels to do that.

Happy to help!

You're welcome!

So happy I could help. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching. Happy mixing!

Honestly this sounds like a resource issue. Most likely RAM. But potentially processing as well. Pro tools in its own is a pretty big resource hog. Do you have the same results when you use only 1 or 2 surfaces? You should open up resource monitor and see what’s eating the most ram or CPU, when you have a session running. Close whatever you can (especially chrome if you have it running) and if possible, don’t just close the window/program, actually close the process that’s running in the background. Ctrl+alt+delete and kill chrome or anything else that isn’t required to keep your system running. If this doesn’t improve your stability, a ram upgrade may help. These are suggestions. I can’t guarantee it will solve your issue since there could be many factors involved. But it’s certainly a troubleshooting step you should take to see what’s happening in your system. If you can’t pinpoint anything using the steps above, try downloading reaper (it’s free) and setting it up with your 3 surfaces and see if you get the same results. I’m not suggesting you switch DAW’s but it could help to see if pro tools is just demolishing your resources leaving you high and dry for 3 xtouch.

@@QuickEZ I really doubt it, my system is fast enough. It happens on an empty session with just enought empty audio tracks to test. Its exactly the same with reaper too! It seems like midi going to the daw is fine, only the midi thats coming back from the computer seems to have errors with it. Thats such astrange error, there is litteraly no thread or forum endtry for it at all. Like I would be the first one to have that problem! PT is important for work, so I sadly cant just switch.

I EdenMusic, Unfortunately, only the UI24 can be used as an interface to multitrack with Logic. I know that wasn't the answer you were hoping for. Sorry! But thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Hi Phillip, If you want to pan inside your bus on iOS, select your desired channel, and then select the SENDS tab at the top. you'll see a panner right above any Busses that are linked as stereo. grab that panner and move it right or left and now you are panning your signal on the stereo bus without affecting the panning in your main L/R. Hope that helps, happy mixing!

Hi Phillip, just answered this question for you, posted on the other video about this topic. But I'll post the same answer here just to make it easy and help anyone else with the same question. If you want to pan inside your bus on iOS, select your desired channel, and then select the SENDS tab at the top. you'll see a panner right above any Busses that are linked as stereo. grab that panner and move it right or left and now you are panning your signal on the stereo bus without affecting the panning in your main L/R. Happy Mixing!

glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

Hi greenheadband, Thanks for watching. Glad I could be some sort of inspiration. In the full version of this video, I do actually talk about NOT using the internal wifi live. I always try to mention this in full videos regarding these types of mixers. Let me know how this works out for you if you implement it. Happy mixing!

Hi Lyndon, Is your bus being sent to the mains? Select bus 1 Select the bus 1 fader Select the MAIN tab Is the MAIN STEREO button selected?

Awesome, thank you for your reply and yes, Bus 1 was going to mains and have followed what you said to do and it fixed it. However i have also noticed the Bus 1 master out fader is not adjusting the overall volume coming out from Aux 1? In the Aux out section when it the In/Out tab, i have selected Bus 1 to go out Aux 1 - Pre Fader + Mute but no matter what i select the main Bus 1 fader doesnt have any effect.

Hy Lyndon, By selecting pre-fader+ mute in the aux output you’ve disabled the bus 1 fader. Change that back to post fader. If you want signal from your inputs to go to your bus pre-fader, that is done on the input side of things. For instance; Select channel 1 Select the sends tab Select pre-fader for the bus you want (in this case bus 1) If you have the globe icon selected at the top right of the sends page, it will make that change for all channels going to the bus. If you deselect it, then only a single input will be changed. Hope that helps

Thanks for that. After I sent the message I did some thinking and thought that may have been the case but had already packed everything away. Thank you so much for your help!

Happy to help. Happy mixing!

Hi buelstv, The one in this video is: iPad 9th gen iOS 17.6.1

Hi acay, This wouldn’t work the way you’re suggesting. If you’re using rtpmidi it will only create a device instance for the xtouch. It will not create an instance for the extender. However, you can connect the xtouch via network and then connect the extender directly to your computer via usb for a second connection.

Hi Mobi, You can lock yourselves to your own bus in mixing station as well. When you load the app in your device, hold the icon for your mixer. That will open a new window and under MIX PERMISSIONS select your monitor bus. Once you’ve done that, you won’t be able to change anything but your own mix.

@@QuickEZ Wow realy? I was not aware of this.... I will test this out. Thanks!

So half of our band uses iphone/ipad. The other half has android phone. I have no experience with Android. Would you know any good app on android who could be used only for bus/aux adjustments? I don't want them to be able to do anything else than asjusting their monitor mixes (we all use in ears)

Hi Mobi, you can use mixing station on android as well. Same instructions would apply.

@@QuickEZ Ok great and thanks for the quick reply! Cheers

Hi mob, Are you using Ana adapter on your USB cable by chance? for instance, your cable is a USB-b to USB-lightning and then you’re using a lightning to USB-c adapter, or something similar? I have found that the adapters tend to stop the functionality of the cable and it’s best to use a direct cable with the correct ends.

Hi. Was there another supposed to be another message? I only see this one about typos.

@@QuickEZ The reason Gain Structure (Staging) is so important is that you can overload at any point or the opposite, underutilize input channel gain which amplifies the inherent noise in all curcuits. My approach to sound check is: Set Master Fader, SubGroups (if the mixer has those), and Aux Send masters to Unity. Ensure all input Gain is set to it's lowest and bring up each input channels fader until you get the desired level or reach Unity gain (sometimes marked with a "U" or maybe the infinity symbol). Stop there and if you need more bring up the gain. I try to never touch the gain again as it will change everything to include Aux, Fader, SubGroups, Master Fader and in the case of digi boards the processing. Comps, Gates are especially affected. I think you're doing a great job helping people to understand and you're also very positive in your delivery. I just wanted to add some constructive suggestions.

Humm...this was my second post even though the first looked like it uploaded. So my first response isn't shown. I give up.

Hey Lester, Thanks for the kind words you included. I’m disappointed that we don’t have your full comment. If you feel up to it, you can always add more. I’m sorry TH-cam has caused issues for your sharing your thoughts. Regardless, thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Hi Felipe, You have to tell logic where to send the output on your xr18 mixer. I cover this starting at the 7:20 mark in the video. If you follow along from there you should be able to get sound out of your mixer. I didn’t have the option to use my iPads output(speakers). But, you can check the stereo output menu in logics audio settings to see what devices you have available. If your phone or iPads speakers are available for use, they will show up there.

You're welcome!

Did you send the fx return to your aux?

@@QuickEZ Haha I have resolve it！ I reaaly didn't send the fx return to the aux

Correct. USB from ui24r to my pc. XLR out L/R from the mixer were used for my speakers.

@@QuickEZ we are doing live webcast how can i throw the master audio to obs using usb from ui24r

Hey Jay, If you need to get your computer audio (that is using your UI24); - set your audio device in OBS to look at one of the USB output busses from the UI24, that will give you your master audio. - for instance, I have all my computer audio output routed to LINE OUT 31/32 Souncraft Madi USB combo card. Now anything playing from my computer, goes out the usb connection and shows up on my mixer at USB 31 and 32. - If I set my OBS device to use that same Line out 31/32 Soundcraft Madi USB combo card, I will have the full mix of my computer audio available for OBS. IF you aren't using it for computer audio, but instead have a full mix on the ui24 that you want to send to OBS ; - Use one of your input devices in OBS and set it's input to Mic/Line in 1/2 soundcraft Madi USB combo card. - USB line 1 and 2 from the mixer, to your computer is the Main Left Right mix from the UI24. - So anything you are mixing on the device itself, that you have assigned to the Main Mix, will go to your computer on line 1 and 2. For your reference: Here are the USB connections from the UI24 to your computer via USB 1. Master Mix Left 2. Master Mix Right 3. Mixer Aux 1 output 4. Mixer Aux 2 output 5. Mixer Aux 3 output 6. Mixer Aux 4 output 7. Mixer Aux 5 output 8. Mixer Aux 6 output 9. Mixer Aux 7 output 10. Mixer Aux 8 output 11 to 32 : Mixer Inputs 1 - 22 Hope this helps.

Thank you! Happy I could help. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Can you test it with another system? Maybe a pc? If you have the same issue on another device the headset may need repair

@@QuickEZ On my pc it won’t work, I get an alert that it’s malfunctioned. On my pa5 it kinda work, but I can’t increase or lower my volume with the wheel on the left hand side earmuff. I guess I should return it? I have a warranty on it

Thanks for sharing your experience. Have you tried a full reset to see if it fixes your issues?

@@QuickEZ ya , this thing is buggy, im going to get it up and running and sell it

You gotta do what makes the most sense for you.

Hi Carol, If you are muting an input, for example; input #1 Then that channel will mute on all busses to which it is being sent. If I’ve misunderstood your question please let me know and I’ll try to answer more appropriately.

@@QuickEZ thank you so much for confirming that. We are using in ears with the xair and i was just experiencing some issues with one of my other singers hearing the same volume changes in her ears bc we are sharing a transmitter in mono even though we are routed with separate xlrs and are one left and one right send. Maybe i need to update the system to the latest firmware. I am currently waiting for an adapter in the mail to connect my computer to the system instead of the iPad!! I enjoy your videos! Very educational to a novice like me!

You would need to check the requirements of the various software. If they supports your OS version then it should work. There is a free trial of OSIMIDI and the Behringer app is always free. So you can try it out to see if it works before spending any money on OSIMIDI.

Hi again Cody, Unfortunately, no. Once they are linked. They are linked. That includes gain and volume adjustments.

@QuickEZ say you're stage left was channel 3 bus 5 (gtr 1) and your stage right was channel 4 bus 6 (gtr 2) would you be able to turn the fader down for channel 3 bus 5 while still keeping them panned hard left and hard right? Because one of our guitarists cab is pretty loud and often overpowers the other

If you have them hard-panned full left and full right, then changing the amount of signal you are sending of each one to each bus would have the end result you are looking for.

@@QuickEZ awesome! Thank you!

Hi Cody, Watch this video. XR - HOW TO CORRECTLY PAN INSIDE A STEREO AUX th-cam.com/video/B9OPxbO6oV0/w-d-xo.html

Hi Mark, Not sure I fully understand your question. Drop me an email at: email@quickez.ca This way I can ask a few important questions and it will be easier for me to help you that way.

If this is a joke, I don’t understand it. There are 3 devices in total that make this function: Xr16 Xtouch Wireless extender How is that a massive monstrosity of crap?

thanks for sharing your experience here.

Use your second computer to log into your router and look at your connected devices list. Then unplug your computer with the broken monitor from the router and refresh the connected devices list. See if you notice which IP address disappears. If not, plug it back into the network, refresh the list and look for the new IP address. Keep doing that until you have your answer.

Glad it helped!

Hey Jason, change the send of each channel for Bus 5 to be POST-fader. You have to set your send level for each channel at the outset, but once you do, because the send to the bus is POST-fader it will behave just like if you were mixing to the Mains and you won't have to adjust individual channels. And as long as you don't send any of the FX return channel to your Bus 5, you will not have any FX in that mix. If you set the send level for each channel at UNITY then the amount of signal going to the bus SHOULD equal the same amount going to the Mains, though you may need find you need to increase it. Experimentation will tell you where to set it. for example: - select channel 1 - select the SENDS tab at the top - for BUS 5 set the circular button to POST FADER - then using the small fader below it, raise the send level to unity (0) now when you go back to your Main LR tab at the right and start mixing your show, the signal from channel 1 to BUS 5 will behave just like the main mix. Repeat this process for all your channels EXCEPT the FX return channels I hope this is clear. If not, let me know and I'll try to clarify. In the meantime, thanks for watching and happy mixing!

@@QuickEZ I followed your directions and still cannot remove FX. I'm sending the mains to AUX5 via Input/Output once this is done the BUS5 faders have no impact on AUX/BUS5 as if BUS5 is only controlled via the mains faders and FX. Basically all the BUS5 controls are disabled. Everything from mains comes through AUX including FX which I still need enabled on the mains.

@@QuickEZ Update ... I figured it out. I should not be sending the mains to aux5 via Input/Output. Nobody said don't do this so I experimented and set the In/Outs to the defaults. I used the "Changes affects all channels" to set the bus settings for all channels. It appears to be working now. Thank you very much for your help. The steps you outlined help me figure out what I was doing wrong.

Sorry Jason, that's my bad, I assumed you had turned off the mains to aux send because it doesn't function the way you need it to. I should have clarified! Glad you're up and running. Happy mixing!

To reduce or remove all feedback you need: - Correct mic placement. - Correct gain staging. - EQ as required. Failing that… AFS (automatic feedback suppression) which is available on all your outputs.

Happy to be of service. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

Hi Freddie, You need to be in XCTL/MC mode And you need two connections to make this work and you do not need to use RTP midi. You cannot do both controls with a single network connection. The X32 requires the XCTL mode for communication, and Cakewalk requires MC (mackie control) mode for communication Here is how I have tested my setup; - I have my Xtouch connected to my network - I have the Xtouch set to DHCP (you can use a static address if you want to, and know how to set that up) - I have the Xtouch network set to Slave IP. And here I have the IP address of my mixer set. Meaning that the Xtouch will be a slave to the mixer at the address listed. Then I also have my Xtouch connected to my DAW PC via USB. Your Xtouch should show up in Cakewalk via USB as a control surface. When I hit the SMPTE / BEATS button on the right side of the surface, to the right side of the main LCD screen, that switches between controlling my mixer and controlling my DAW. SMPTE is for the mixer BEATS is for the DAW. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!

@@QuickEZ Thanks so Very Much for your advise - you have solved this puzzling issue! It does require more wires - but it works as-expected now! Whoo-Hoo ! I have the XTouch set up physically far away from the x32 and the DAW, so I'm now using VoNets Wireless-LAN adapter for the ethernet connection, and will be trying a Wireless-USB device for the DAW connection, currently on a Long-powered-USB-extender. The other question I have about the XTouch is whether you could recommend an buttons Overlay product for use with x32 and/or Sonar/Cakewalk? The paper documentation with XTouch was quite generic, and seemingly out of date (no mention of the XCtl/MC modes, etc.) What XTouch documentation did you have to enable you to find out what the surface buttons do in various modes? Thanks again!

Hi Freddie, I'm glad you're up and running. Happy I could clear that up for you. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any documentation that covers the greater functionality. I'm just one of those guys that presses every button to see what it does. When it comes to overlays, there a couple of companies out there, but you should have a look at: store.birchwoodstudioandevents.com/Behringer_xtouch They have a lot there, including overlays that cover the x32 and a DAW in the same overlay. Unfortunately, they don't appear to have one that covers X32 and Cakewalk, but they do create custom overlays and you could likely have one commissioned that covers those two functionalities together. Now that you're functional, have fun!

Hi, Fortunately, I have never experienced this issue. Can you explain what your setup looks like and what you are doing when you experience the restart of the console? If you can provide further information I may be able to give you some troubleshooting ideas.

@@QuickEZ Mine too does random restarts, around once a day. I tried to repaste the heat sink and it might have helped a bit but it still happens. The unit is 24/7 turned on, only used inside my house and I have around +18 celsius temperature so it's a cool house. It's connected via USB-connection to the PC which I use it as a sound card. I also have WiFi enabled on the unit and I use that connection to connect to the web UI with my PC. I don't use USB-sticks or any other digital connections on the unit. Super frustrating since it basicly prevents the live usage of the unit.

Thanks for sharing tonikauko. I'm sorry to hear that you're having this issue too. It's really hard to understand how this mixer is so divided for people, so many of you out there experience these issues, and then there are so many of us that don't. It's also hard to pin down why this happens for those that experience it. If you haven't already, I would reach out directly to Soundcraft about this. My hope is that they can help you address the issue (or maybe even replace it for you if) but more importantly, the more they hear about this issue, the more likely they are to find solutions for everyone across the board. I know there's a lot of talk online about Soundcraft not supporting this mixer properly anymore, but they did release a firmware update in July of this year, which points to them actively supporting us. If you do get any assistance or direct answers/solutions from Soundcraft, it would be great to hear about it here.

Hey toddabby, someone else reached out to me with this problem recently and we never ended up getting to the bottom of it, they just stopped emailing me. If you want to drop me a line at: email@quickez.ca and send me some screenshots of your mixer USB routing pages and a shot of your Pro Tools mixer page (so I can see inputs and outputs on the channel strip) And maybe a shot of your I/O routing pages in pro tools I'll see if I can spot anything weird, and maybe we can get to the bottom of this issue. in the meantime, thanks for watching!

@@QuickEZ Will take some screenshots and email you tonight. Thanks!

The software in my video makes the XAir edit software change screens when you make selections on the Xtouch. Normally, that does not happen. In the Behringer video that you linked, any time you see the XAir edit software window change pages, it is because Phil is using a mouse to change screens.

You connect your speakers to the main Left and Right output of the mixer. Then when you raise your faders in the XAir software, you’ll hear it in the speakers.

I haven’t personally tried it with that device. But it uses the same software so it should be identical.

Hi cxlin, Anything you set in your DAW would be part of the recording. But anything you set in the mixer itself does NOT go to your recording. The inputs on the mixer take the gain settings and then leave the mixer on USB immediately after that they bypass eq, compression , gate, fx. Here is a video talking all about how the USB sends work. SOUNDCRAFT UI 24R - USB DAW CHANNELS EXPLAINED th-cam.com/video/vZATQ9w8MgA/w-d-xo.html I talk about the tap point at 7:20. I hope that answers your question. If not please let me know and I’ll try to clarify further. Thanks for watching and happy mixing!
