@Witherfall there's a easy way and a bit more complicated way. The easy way is to just plug a usb stick in the mixer then go to config and set the source to main LR. It does record a wav file but the bit depth is only 16 bits. The more complicated way is: Go to the OUT section in the routing menu, make sure that outputs 15 and 16 are assigned to Main L and Main R Then go to CARD and assign outputs 25-32 to Out 9-16. Now create a stereo track in protools set the input of it to card 31-32 and the main mix should be coming into that track
Bro thank you so much for all your videos - they are THE BEST on the Midas series - you keep everything simple and to the point without adding extra unecessary info 🙌🙌🙌
I’m getting ready to try the first time with a recording usually I do it the old fashioned way but I’d like to just show up at the venue with my laptop and a usb cable that would be awesome I think I understand your setup but I’m still not sure about the Mac setup side I’ll have to practice that maybe my buddy the sound man will let me come test this I/o function before Friday nights show if he has time
Daniel, I love ya Brother, that got me signal to my protools, you are Awesome. I am 71 years old and all this stuff gets me so confused. Now I'm going to try to figure out how to get my Yamaha monitors going so I don't have to use my pa speakers to listen back. Any thoughts i would certainly appreciate it. But I can't express how much I appreciate you 😊
On the inputs page assign Aux ins to card 1-6 And in protools assign your master to usb 5-6 That way you're receiving the protools audio on aux channels 5 and 6 You can link them Connect your monitors to the monitor outputs on the back of the console (xlr or trs) And in the monitor page assign the monitor source to aux 5-6 So if you're not pressing the solo button on any channel you will hear protools audio And if you want to solo a channel on the console you can also do that
How can I listen/mix a pre recorded PT session so I can train myself in the x edit pc software? I only have the Midas Rack M32C laptop and iPad version. Also Daniel, I’m using the Klark Teknik DN32 USB audio driver from Midas. It shows up in playback but not in I/0 audition like your video. Should I be using the Klark Teknik DN32 USB live driver instead? Thanks I hop you are still monitoring this link. You are sure helping a lot of people.
Hi Daniel, I am yet to get M32 and I found your channel got the most detail oriented videos about how to use this console. About this V soundcheck, this is the set up for what you got in DAW to link up to the M32 right? So this means you only need to do this once, then after that different projects on your DAW can be play through M32 right?
If you're using different projects, you still need to assign the tracks from the daw to the correct channels on the console for every different project
hello Daniel, what's up? There is one thing I'm curious about. While recording audio to USB in Midas m33, I don't want to record a channel (input1). how can I do that???
If you're recording into your daw that's simple just don't hit record on the first track but i assume you mean recording the main LR on a usb stick with the recorder on the front of the console. In that case it's a bit more complicated and too long to explain in a comment but you can send me a message on Instagram and explain it to you
@@danielkharrat Wow, you can do that? That's super slick. I don't understand why anybody would want to do that, since they have ProTools running right there on their laptop, but it would be nice to know how that is accomplished. Whilst on the topic of the USB recorder on the console itself, once a multi-track recording has been recorded to PowerTools, you simply copy it over the USB drive, then plug it into the console and it can then play back the track without ProTools, right? What about the size of the file? Is there any mastering or file compression or anything that should be done after the recording on ProTools has finished?
This is a vey helpful video and I’m real close. After installing the Klark Teknik DN32 USB audio driver, PT finally sets up as playback engine but I/0 still will not set up output for DN32 usb just Out 1-2 any thoughts.
Protools only uses one interface but if you're on mac you can use aggregate i/o to setup another interface and make Protools use it also at the same time
Hey Daniel, I am using protools and did everything per your instruction and at one point, I had it working, I was so excited, but for some reason, I didn't have all 32 recording , I went back to your video and checked what I thought was everything and no luck just can't figure it out . Today I decided to give it another shot and now I have no signal recording on any tracks. Have you got any idea what I'm doing wrong ?
Yes sir , thank you Daniel, I honestly didn't expect a response, very kind of you. What I'm trying to do is use my m32 in a home studio setting. I have all the instruments plugged into the stage box so I can record everyone without having to plug in one at a time ( what I would really enjoy would be , to be able to bring the signal in to protools from the m32 and then mix from protools 12 and be able to monitor the tracks from my yamaha hs8 monitor ) but for now I can't even get a signal on any tracks in protools. I sincerely appreciate any help you can provide
Is there a way to use the FX from plugins on a DAW such as UAD console or so fourth and have that then control the live band playing? for example I want to use the plugins on my laptop to control certain vocal parameters but the venue has a Midas 32. I want to know if there is a way I can have those routed while the mixing is happening live.
I have Protools Intro on my mac and was wondering if having the Intro version has something to do with not being able to record more than 4 tracks simultaneously from the x32 rack. I followed your video exactly with all the routing and protools still only receives signal from the first 4 inputs and not any others i plug into the other local inputs. I would greatly appreciate your help with this headache lol. Thanks
Hey... Great video... Super useful to me as I am quite new to X-32... QUESTION : I'm lost when it gets to setting Audition Path in PT I/O config window... I can record any track in PT but when I play, although I see there is some sound getting out of my various tracks and of my master track, I can hear no sound and nothing happens on the X-32... Any tips ?
@@danielkharrat Great... Thank you so much ! I am ow almost all done thanks to your precious knowledge but still have one issue.... As all my tracks on Pro Tools are set to output 31-32, when I open a stereo master in Pro Tools, this master track won't receive any souind... Also, for whatever reason, I can not set the master to output on 31-32 which could have bring a solution. It is a quite boring issue because when I bounce a track, I always put at least one plug in (finaliser) on the master track.... Any tips to have a master track working "as usual" ?
Hi Daniel. I am mixing in Protools from a Midas M32 for the online church service. But I want to listen to the tracks I am recording in my Laptop's headphone output, but I can't hear it on the headphones, even when I assign it in the mac pro preferences. Do you have any suggestions?
Protools expects only one external interface but since you're on mac there's something called "Aggregate I/O" if you go to setup => hardware you'll find it. This allows you to add the built-in output as if it's part of the same interface so Protools can see it. Once you turn it on, make to unmute it from the "built-in output" tab in the same hardware menu Then go to setup => playback engine and select the Aggregate i/o as the playback engine. You may have to save the session and restart Protools but this should work
We need some help! we did everything that you said to on protools and on the x32 but It works for a few minutes and then its starts to do like a popping nosie then all the tracks start sound like transformers lol If you know how to fix this i would be so glad.
Can i use an ethernet cable instead of an usb 2.0 to connect to my computer. And im using audacity instead of protools because im broke. Will this work?
You need the Dante expansion card to send audio through ethernet. You cannot use the ethernet control port for audio. This is only to control your console through the app So if you only have the default sound card that comes with your console u have to use a usb cable for recording You can use Reaper it's free
Hi Daniel... Sorry to bother you but I still have 2 issues with my X32 : Pro Tools configuration : 1. I an record any o the X32 inputs on its corresponding track in Pro Tools... I see sound is arriving in PT thanks to the track meter and I can see the wave form while I'm recording. I can also play back these recorded tracks through the X32... Everything seems to work fine... BUT : be it while recording or playing from PT, I don't see any entry level on the X32 meters of the tracks I'm recording. The only meters which "shows" the sound played from my synths (while recording) or from Pro Tools (during play back of recorded tracks) is the main meter on the right of the X32 screen. 2. When I try and SOLO one of the track on the X32, it mutes the corresponding synth sound ! Then, a third issue : When I activate DAW REMOTE on X32, I don't see the RtZ, Play, Stop... functions above the faders which are dedicated to Pro Tools And then, last issue : As all my tracks on Pro Tools are set to output 31-32, when I open a stereo master in Pro Tools, this master track won't receive any souind... Also, for whatever reason, I can not set the master to output on 31-32 which could have bring a solution. It is a quite boring issue because when I bounce a track, I always put at least one plug in (finaliser) on the master track.... Any help would be highly appreciated ! Best regards and thanks again for all your super precious videos !
1) are you talking about the small LED meters on top of the channel strip? Your signals may be too quiet. Do the meters light up if you're not recording or playing back? 2) from where to where? You're hitting the solo button on the synth channel one the mixer? And it's getting muted where? In protools? On the mixer? 3) if you have the daw control active in the setup menu and the daw remote button is turned on, on the right side of the console you have different layers. (Dcas bus 1-8 bus 9-16 matrix) Go through the layers and you'll see different functions on the small displays above the faders 4) you need to go into the i/o menu in the outputs tab and on the bottom right corner you have audition path with a small speaker icon. You need to set that to 31-32 in order to be able to assign it on the master fader Otherwise just make a stereo aux with input set to bus 1-2 and output to usb 31-32 and just assign the output of all the tracks to bus 1-2 So that stereo aux is your new master
@@danielkharrat 1. Yes small LED meters on top of channel strips... My signal is quite "loud" in fact 2. I meant when I'm not in DAW REMOTE mode on X32 and when I hit the SOLO button on the channel strip of the X32 3. OK... Great... I did not know I had to be on the Matrix 1-6 Main C layer ! 4. I'll investigate further... Thaank you so much !
@OlivierLebeauVolvox 1) that's strange. Whether it's analog signal coming into the preamp or digital signal coming from your computer you should always see something on the input meters 2) okay but what gets muted? Is it not getting recorded anymore?
Yes but if you want the processing from the console to be recorded in protools you'll need to use the out page or the ultranet page and assign the output to direct out from channels with a post fader tap then assign the card outputs to these outputs Because by default the card records the preamp without any of the processing
@@danielkharrat So in this case, would there still be any sound coming out by way of the console? The console would be in effect, total recording mode, like an analog console in a studio.
can i record from the m32 and at the same time have the pro tools tracks running in the other faders of my m32? like having the mix on the faders but just 1 input mic to record vocals (without switching from play to record mode on the 32 each time)
There was a free version of protools called "Protools First" but it's discontinued now. You can go on the Avid website to check if there's a subscription plan that fits your budget or you can use "Reaper" it's free or if you just need something to do multitrack recording and play back you can use "Tracks Live" from Waves Audio it's also free
Yes of course it does matter but the difference is that if your record at a lower bit depth (dynamic range) you can fix the artifacts with random noise (it's called dithering) but if you record at a different sample rate the recording will be unusable
I didn't seem to catch the "Virtual Sound Check" portion of this video, which is all that I am interested in at this time. I've downloaded a number of multi-track Wave files from TeleFunken (they are available and free of charge there). But I didn't see where you load a WAV file up and play it back on ProTools. How is that done? I just purchased ProTools and have zero knowledge of how to use it, so I'm a rank amateur, sorry.
I still do not understand how you did the "virtual sound check" at the end. There was suddenly music playing, but I never saw any music being recorded, assuming of course that what you are playing back, is what you just recorded. I also did not see you load a multi-track recording file on ProTools and play it back. I am not interested in recording anything at this time, as I am working in live sound and we are strictly forbidden to record any show. I just want to use ProTools to playback multi-track recordings that I either purchase get from Telefunken, and practice the techniques presented in your many videos. Frequently it is entirely possible to try things whilst out on an event, as there is zero time, and you certainly don't want to mess with a band's sound whilst they are playing I did figure out at least how to load up a file on ProTools but have not been able to figure out how to get it to playback into the console. Not sure what I am missing here.
This is getting more and more strange, i.e., the process of simply playing back an EXISTING WAV file in ProTools. Nobody will ever answer this simple question. What's up with that?
@@danielkharrat arrgh! I had the midi control interface set to “midi in/out, not “card midi” ! But I’ve got it now! Thank you for the tutorial Daniel! Very helpful! Happy New Year!
Hello, I have a mixer midas m32 and stagebox dl32. I connected them to AES50A, I routed the inputs to the mixer to AES50A. I have no audio input to the mixer from the dl32, while the outputs are fine. can you help me, thanks
@@danielkharrat It is synchronized to A, the audio outputs from the stagebox are fine, when I insert the audio sources into the stagebox, they do not come to the mixer.
How Can I receive the 32 channels from X32 and mix in Protools? I did all routes that you explained. But if a mute channel 1 on the X32 the same happens in Protools. I need to have independence between mu daw and X32
Does the mute button on the console activate the mute button on the track in protools or does it just cut off the audio from getting to the track? Do you wanna mix in protools in real time without recording?
@@danielkharrat thank you so much for answered. Yes! I want to mix in protools in real time. My problem is that I can’t have independent mix from X32. I receive signal in protools from X32 but if I move fader up or down in protools nothing happens
How are you monitoring protools? The routing i showed in this video is to receive and send back the signal to the mixer. In your case i would keep the inputs the same (to receive from the console) but create a master fader and set the outputs of all the tracks to that one master output, that should solve it. But you still need to listen to that output so you would have to send it back to 2 channels on the mixer and listen through the mixer. I know that might not be the answer you're looking for but unfortunately protools doesn't let you use the computer audio at the same time so you can't plug you're headphones in your laptop. In ableton and reaper that is not a problem but protools just grabs the audio and doesn't let go. If you're using mac os there is a work around that requires you to use a third-party software i think it's called sound flower but on windows i haven't been able to find a solution (i used sound meter banana but it didn't work for me)

Can't get audio from main fader back into protools to bounce to a stereo file...any advice
@Witherfall there's a easy way and a bit more complicated way. The easy way is to just plug a usb stick in the mixer then go to config and set the source to main LR. It does record a wav file but the bit depth is only 16 bits.
The more complicated way is:
Go to the OUT section in the routing menu, make sure that outputs 15 and 16 are assigned to Main L and Main R
Then go to CARD and assign outputs 25-32 to Out 9-16.
Now create a stereo track in protools set the input of it to card 31-32 and the main mix should be coming into that track
@@Witherfall and if you need some of the channels in the block 25-32 u can fix it in the user in/out

On the inputs page assign Aux ins to card 1-6
And in protools assign your master to usb 5-6
That way you're receiving the protools audio on aux channels 5 and 6
You can link them
Connect your monitors to the monitor outputs on the back of the console (xlr or trs)
And in the monitor page assign the monitor source to aux 5-6
So if you're not pressing the solo button on any channel you will hear protools audio
And if you want to solo a channel on the console you can also do that
Thank you again my friend

When I record, for example, a voice on channel 1 in Pro Tools, can I use the EQ, compressor, gate and Midas pre?
Yes but if you want the processing from the console to be recorded in protools you'll need to use the out page or the ultranet page and assign the output to direct out from channels with a post fader tap then assign the card outputs to these outputs
Because by default the card records the preamp without any of the processing
@@danielkharrat So in this case, would there still be any sound coming out by way of the console? The console would be in effect, total recording mode, like an analog console in a studio.
Hey when I connect my m32 to pro tools my 48v is not working how fix that?
Phantom power has nothing to do with protools. Does it turn on if you're not connected to your computer?
can i record from the m32 and at the same time have the pro tools tracks running in the other faders of my m32? like having the mix on the faders but just 1 input mic to record vocals (without switching from play to record mode on the 32 each time)
Yes. Play and record is just a way to change inputs quickly but you can definitely assign your channels to different inputs for different places
is there a cheaper version or free version of pro tools I'm just working in a small church and trying to help them out before I move on
There was a free version of protools called "Protools First" but it's discontinued now. You can go on the Avid website to check if there's a subscription plan that fits your budget or you can use "Reaper" it's free or if you just need something to do multitrack recording and play back you can use "Tracks Live" from Waves Audio it's also free
@@danielkharrat thanks that is exactly what I needed just simple multi track recording to put back into the board too experiment more and fine tune
Pro Tools only allows for 8 audio tracks. How can I set it to more than 8 audio tracks?
Try a different driver
Does the Bit Depth matter as well as the sample rate?
Yes of course it does matter but the difference is that if your record at a lower bit depth (dynamic range) you can fix the artifacts with random noise (it's called dithering) but if you record at a different sample rate the recording will be unusable
@@danielkharrat Different sample rate than what? And I am guessing that these settings being discussed here are in ProTools?
I didn't seem to catch the "Virtual Sound Check" portion of this video, which is all that I am interested in at this time. I've downloaded a number of multi-track Wave files from TeleFunken (they are available and free of charge there). But I didn't see where you load a WAV file up and play it back on ProTools. How is that done? I just purchased ProTools and have zero knowledge of how to use it, so I'm a rank amateur, sorry.
I still do not understand how you did the "virtual sound check" at the end. There was suddenly music playing, but I never saw any music being recorded, assuming of course that what you are playing back, is what you just recorded. I also did not see you load a multi-track recording file on ProTools and play it back. I am not interested in recording anything at this time, as I am working in live sound and we are strictly forbidden to record any show. I just want to use ProTools to playback multi-track recordings that I either purchase get from Telefunken, and practice the techniques presented in your many videos. Frequently it is entirely possible to try things whilst out on an event, as there is zero time, and you certainly don't want to mess with a band's sound whilst they are playing I did figure out at least how to load up a file on ProTools but have not been able to figure out how to get it to playback into the console. Not sure what I am missing here.
This is getting more and more strange, i.e., the process of simply playing back an EXISTING WAV file in ProTools. Nobody will ever answer this simple question. What's up with that?
When I try to set the inputs to USB, protools will not see USB option. ProTools does see the m32, and m32 is the default.
Did you do the steps shown at 2:59 ? If yes then you should be able to the the usb inputs on the track
@@danielkharrat arrgh! I had the midi control interface set to “midi in/out, not “card midi” ! But I’ve got it now! Thank you for the tutorial Daniel! Very helpful! Happy New Year!
Hello, I have a mixer midas m32 and stagebox dl32. I connected them to AES50A, I routed the inputs to the mixer to AES50A. I have no audio input to the mixer from the dl32, while the outputs are fine. can you help me, thanks
There is sound coming from the xlr outputs of the dl32 but there no sound on the xlr inputs of the same box?
@@danielkharrat I don't get audio from the stagebox in the mixer
@ilianvlashi on the right side of the stagebox there's a light next to the word AES50 SYNC
Is the light green or not?
@@danielkharrat It is synchronized to A, the audio outputs from the stagebox are fine, when I insert the audio sources into the stagebox, they do not come to the mixer.
@ilianvlashi on the inputs page did you assign 1-8 to AES50 A 1-8 and your still not receiving anything?
How Can I receive the 32 channels from X32 and mix in Protools? I did all routes that you explained. But if a mute channel 1 on the X32 the same happens in Protools. I need to have independence between mu daw and X32
Does the mute button on the console activate the mute button on the track in protools or does it just cut off the audio from getting to the track? Do you wanna mix in protools in real time without recording?
@@danielkharrat thank you so much for answered. Yes! I want to mix in protools in real time. My problem is that I can’t have independent mix from X32. I receive signal in protools from X32 but if I move fader up or down in protools nothing happens
How are you monitoring protools?
The routing i showed in this video is to receive and send back the signal to the mixer. In your case i would keep the inputs the same (to receive from the console) but create a master fader and set the outputs of all the tracks to that one master output, that should solve it.
But you still need to listen to that output so you would have to send it back to 2 channels on the mixer and listen through the mixer. I know that might not be the answer you're looking for but unfortunately protools doesn't let you use the computer audio at the same time so you can't plug you're headphones in your laptop. In ableton and reaper that is not a problem but protools just grabs the audio and doesn't let go. If you're using mac os there is a work around that requires you to use a third-party software i think it's called sound flower but on windows i haven't been able to find a solution (i used sound meter banana but it didn't work for me)
How can I listen/mix a pre recorded PT session so I can train
myself in the x edit pc software? I only have the Midas Rack M32C laptop and iPad version
please I need your help
