In this video, you are going to learn how to capture a multitrack recording of your worship band using the Midas M32/Behringer X32 digital mixing console and ProTools.
Jake, thanks for all you do. Because of you, our team has rolled our Ableton, flawless transitions, significant mix improvements, and about 102 other things. THANK YOU. Keep leading and educating.
Great video! We use the same mixer at our churh in Hungary! Currently I'm about to record the services, so it's a big help for me.
Best video I’ve found yet on this specific topic especially linking Pro Tools. Thanks a ton!
Excellent tutorial, thanks for posting!!
If you use Pro Tools, you can select all 32 tracks and assign all the inputs at once instead of 32 times. Click the first track, hold shift, click the last one. Then while holding shift, press Option and then command and click on the first track. Assign it to input 1 then the remaining 31 channels should assign the correct input as well.
In a perfect world, it should work that way but I know in Reason, you'll have to arm each channel you want to record individually. If you don't arm a channel, it doesn't record.

Is behringer xenyxb1832 multi track capable in DAW? I am planning to get one for drum recording but couldnt spend more for an 1820 interface
@@Marchopolo08 no you cannot multitrack record with it. Get an 18i20 or something like that.
@@BenChambless wow. A year ago and you still replied. Thank you for the response! Wish you more success brother
Thank you. Big help you provided
There is an alternative: Waves Tracks. It`s freeware, and it`s from Waves - which means quality at no cost. It works from buget-mixers(such as XR18) all the way to some higher-end consoles(such as ProX, which requires a network bridge, but still). Not everyone has the money for ProTools, so here is a free substitution which doesn`t compromise quality.
thanks for sharing. Great idea
@Zachary Simpler I've seen it done with ease, yes
Nice video... thanks for your sharing & tutorials 👍🏻
Very helpful, thank you. AND great video production.
Great video! Thanks Jake!
ProTools is really expensive for non-profit churches. Currently looking into Reaper (free trial, $60, supports Linux) and works great with our Behringer X32 compact. Ardour is a cheaper choice but it's not as easy to use.
Always wanted to know how to capture our services in multitrack format. Thanks Jake
Please make a video about routing of the HA 8000 and how to use your phone for monitor mixing ... Nice video tho thanks Jake!!!
Thanks boss! Supper helpful! Just what I needed to know :)
3:20 "what's really cool about these mixing consoles is you can actually assign different groups of channels coming into your sound console to the different card outputs". Does this mean that a group of inputs can be outputted as one mixed output (let's say all mics)? I couldn't see this in the video, and it seems each individual input in the mixer is outputted to one individual output and it has its own track/channel in ProTools. Thanks for the clarification in advance! Keep up the great work!
Hey Jake, thanks for this video it's really helpful. We live stream our church services and I am curious if it would be possible to run everything into Protools , and then output that into our Live streaming encoder as the audio source? This would allow us to have a lot of manipulation over the sound quality of the live streaming sound using plugins etc. Our current setup is simple: We use a Mackie DL32R to live mix everything to the house, and then use an Aux Send to sent out to a USB Audio Interface into a computer which is where the encoder is. It works but its really just raw audio even though the Mackie Dl32R has some good built in plugins for each channel such as EQ,Compression etc. But it's hard to get a good sounding mix.
Hi, excellent tutorial. Really enlightening. What if I wanna do same multitrack recording and my mixing console is analog? What steps do I take?
Wonderful video! So helpful!! Question: How can we connect and record from the x32 Edit app on MacBook into Ableton on the same laptop without using the USB cable and without using Osculator?
Thanks this was really helpful
Thanks Jake
thank you.
Hey Jake, great video.plsi wanna patch separate channels from prime loop app to X32 X-uf interface but I'm not successful with it, can u pls help?.
Thanks brother
How can I record my channel strip settings? For example my gate, compressor or eq. I know I can do this in post but it would be nice if I can use the gate on vocals so the drums dont bleed as much and have a bit of more control.
Soundcraft si series desks do a good job of multiple track recording too
Hi Jake this video was very helpful. If i could ask a question. How do you monitor out to headphones when
the board is in Card mode? Im sending the out through the aux on the back to a headphone powerplay. The headphones
work but I can't give each headphone their own personal mix.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks
Great video! Question for you... we're trying to setup multitrack recording here at our church with a Midas M32 board and Cubase 10.5. I've followed your steps here and on a few other videos as well. But no matter what I do, I can't get the laptop to see the board when it's plugged in. I have the M32 software installed, everything looks correct and it has the option to select that device in setup options in Cubase, but when I select it it tells me "the selected device is not available." Any suggestions on what I can do here? This has been a few months of a process so far, so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Dope, the inputs a super simple! But how do you monitor from the console? Does the master fader get routed to the master out of the x32 automatically?
Can the X32 be used as a playback controller for the Pro Tools?
hey, your videos are really useful and informative and i have a doubt if i record multiple tracks from the mixer will my gain, compression, eq, and fx will be recorded too or just the raw audio.
thanks.
Generally you will record the raw data. This is useful because when you feed the audio tracks back into the console you would reapply all those effects and filters/ EQs a second time
Or if you have a smaller team and are not using a digital mixer you can record everything on a 6 channel Zoom H6 from your tracks direct outs.
We aren't using a digital mixer yet and we actually have more than 6 tracks. So we record all the "main" instruments and vocals on the first 5 channels (3 singing mics, piano and electric guitar) and record all the speaking mics, pads, and remaining instruments from an AUX send. Not ideal but not everyone has a digital mixer even if they are working towards it.
Thanks I’ll look into that.
We use an analogue mixer and even a small digital mixer is not cheap especially when you factor in pro tools.
What about the output? I would like to playback the tracks that I recorded, to record some more instruments. How can I assign the Output? And where do I have to connect my headphones in the mixer?
Soon... 🙏😇
Is there a way to capture the live mix from a Behringer x32 to iPhone for Facebook live?
Does it matter what version of protools? I have protools 10
Great video! Will this work with atheist bands as well?
How do you adjust input level of you audio in the DAW during recording if a channel is too loud and clipping? Thanks
Hi, Great channel man I have a question can you please help me I'm going to buy my first mixer multitrack/audio interface , and I search and reed a lot but I really do not know what mixer interface buy I want with minimum like 20channel because I want to record in studio,record a band together at the same time and for live situation, my list is this Souncraft 22MTK,Tascam model 24,Zoom live track 20,Allen & Heath ZED 24 or Mackie Profx30v3... but reading blog and watching videos or all that mixer interface says that are problems like lag or Just recording in a daw just make 2 stereo track all that 20 channel and I want to do separately 20 channel at the same time, Can you please recommend me a mixer interface that cost under 1000$ who can record all the channels in various tracks. Sorry for my English I not good .
Hi. Thanx for the video.
Is there an option to record outputs as well as channels?
I want to record multi track and eft right master as well to the same session on my DAW.
How about sub groups?
Hi! Great video! I am learning so much, I still have a doubt. (I'm not a sound guy btw, so excuse me if this is a silly question), as you said this is practically an audio interface. Can I do this for live streaming? Can the audio of the x32 output directly from the usb audio interface to the pc/mac and put it in a software like obs or wirecast? is this possible?
Yep. You would put the configuration in 2i/2o mode and select the 2 adjacent channels you want to output. Any program where you can select an audio interface for the stereo left right would see the M32 as an audio interface and would get channel 1 as L and channel 2 as R
Hi, is possible to record multitrack already with the set effect from my Behringer X32?
Is it possible to track from auxiliary inputs? They are beyond the usual 32 inputs.
Why would the sound be distorted as my daw is recording the tracks live ?
Hey bro can we record multiple tracks in beringer xair 16?
Hello guys, Is there a possiblity or a way I can multitrack record a mixer console yamaha mgp32x?
Thank You Jake. With all the multitracks running in ProTools, can we simultaneously connect to OBS and live stream the whole tracks?
Not recommended. You would have a much more stable show if you considered keeping a dedicated streaming computer.
Is there an alternative software (free) that can be use for this?
wow , I tried this trick with my black metal band , and it worked just as well :D
Hey Jake!
Another amazing video! really appreciate your content! It helps me and my church a lot. Big thanks to you.
Which sites do you recommend to buy this products for a good price?
God bless you!!

I like sweetwater.com. Not sure it's the cheapest but they have great support and service.
I’m using Logic Pro x which I’m new to. Would like to know if I can record multitrack from allen and heath to my MacBook Pro via xlr. (Xlr to audio jack). It not what other cable can I use??? Thanks
Jocelyn Emilus no. You’ll need a usb
Will this work with fl studio?
Can a multitrack console not have usb output and instead just a audio jack?
What if I want to capture audio from the XLR microphone, and Instrument cable straight into my DAW at the same time ?
Where I can find the DN32-USB for MACOSX_
What if I have a waves superrack set up? Not using the factory x32 usb card, but using a waves card in the x32 console
If I have an interface that I want to use (Lynx Aurora) to capture audio in Pro Tools and not use the Midas as an interface, how would I go about doing so?
I have a question, I want to record at the church and take the file home and mix it in Studio One. Do I need any software in my laptop to capture the recording from our X32?
Hello I have a question to connect do I need a software or a driver ?? Midas driver or something? And if so where can I download the driver or the software??
Shouldn’t need a driver. The Midas will show up like an audio interface
Are you using the X32 with OS X Catalina?
How would I connect Prime Tracks and Record at the same time?
Does this change the way any other things work? Or is it just an extra? For example, if this computer shuts off, does the console still output sound?
Did you need to download any audio drivers to your mac to get this to work?
Is USB the only way to connect the mixer to the computer? Our sound computer is downstairs from the sanctuary as our current audio goes to NDI
How do you record the aux channels that use 1/4 in cables?
WORSHIP
What can i do if my computer is far way from the mixing console?
I am recording from an M32 into Pro Tools. Anyone know how I can monitor with external headphones plugged into the macbook while recording in PT?
Choose output external headphones?
Or u might need an external soundcard for that
How do you route USB music to protools from x32?
Can this be used in live worship?
Hi, I have a question. I have ableton and X32. I plugged in the USB 2.0 and then USB to computer. My computer doesn't recognize what I plugged in and Ableton can't find the mixer. It doesn't seem as easy as plug and play. It asks for drivers on my computer to be downloaded, but I don't know which ones.
Have u ever had trouble with the MacBook working with with the behringer x32?
how can we edit the multitrack recording?
How can I change the volume when I record on usb?
With USB Conection ? Audio pass all channels ? How many audio Outputs pass for PC With USB ? Dont need Dante Connection ?
Is this a similar process I'd use to mix down and run audio to my Facebook live stream? I'm pretty sure this is what we do at my church but we use the X32 and Reason, mix down the audio and stream it to Facebook live. I'm asking for a friend. (Why do I feel like I'm in an AA meeting or something when I say I'm "asking for a friend"?) 🤔
lol yeah you can definitely use this process to mix down in post and then stream. I think that's a great idea.
@@Churchfront Good deal. I'll let her know. She's been having all kinds of problems with their livestream. They're running an old Presonus 16.2 ... sumpthin' sumpthin' but I don't know what DAW they're running ... or if they even have one. If they can get one for cheap/free, they can run a CAT5 (or even a USB) to their storage room upstairs directly above the sound mixer and mix down the Facebook live from there. (You probably really don't care to know any of this.) Thanks for the upload and reply, bro! 👍
Can you do one with garage band
Does GarageBand work for this?
Ray Rodriguez that’s what I want to know.
Is this possible with an iPad DAW?
Not sure. Maybe someone elses knows
Will this work with a non-worship band?
Hey jake, I’ve tried this but i keep getting an alert that says “disk to slow” and then the recording stops. My computer has all the same specs as the one you described in the video. What could I be doing wrong?
Hmmm...How many channels are you trying to capture? And what hard drive are you recording to?
Churchfront with Jake Gosselin we are trying to record 32 channels and the hard drive we are using is a Seagate back up plus portable 5 TB hard drive

Hi howdy there great video and new subs here. My pastor recently asked me about multitrack recording for our music improvement and I am leaning towards getting x32 Behringer or maybe Midas mixer. My question is would the sound would be also good for our live stream as currently we are struggling to get a good quality sound as the band comes in and play. Atm, we can only get a good quality sound when only 1 or 2 input are in use... I’ve connected the live streaming camera audio directly to aux 1( monitor). We are curently using peavey fx2 and would soon be upgrading to x32 mixer. Pls help
Any help would greatly appreciated.
That X32 is an awesome mixer, we use one at our church. Currently rebuilding our set up to make improvements while everthing is down. Remember that the board only records in stereo so you need the drop in card or patch to a pc and run through pro tools to get that proper mix
i have the same problem, any luck on why this is?
I use the x32 and want to multitrack recording on garbage band do you know how?
Hey I have a question about the X32 before I purchase it. Could you get back to me when you get a chance please. This is for gospel artist that I record. So this is important to all of us. Thank you
Protools seems a bit overkill. Price of entry alone
Waves tracks live is not only free but optimised for this exact purpose
Thank you. This helps a lot.
Lost me on the routing at ~4:15. A white board with simple labeled and tracing ONE channel all the way through would have helped. Sorry.
No need to apologize, I had the same feedback
Hey. Can I get permission to translate this video into Russian? I think Russian-speaking viewers will be very useful these videos
Warship needs to be a death metal band
how unfortunate it only fits for a worship band, as I play In a normal band I can't make any use of this
N
Why does it need to be a "worship" band
dude, just some advice when making a "tutorial". Say things like:-
step one: click on tracks
step 2: create new
Step three: ...etc
Not the "the next step is to create a new track" the proceed to complete 6 steps really really fast, forcing your viewers to have to pause countless times just to trace the actually steps we came here to learn.
So rather than you tell us that that next step is creating a track, show us how to create the track - it will help us to actually click on future videos.
Just some friendly advice from a frustrated viewer.
This is a tutorial on how to setup a multitrack,... not a beginners guide to Protools. Creating a track on pro tools is the easiest and simplest thing to do. Jake did a fantastic job explaining what the title of the video says
@@erickcorado_ I have found that taking feedback can be difficult, even for me. But it's not always to bring you down, in some cases, it's to help you get to the next level.
When the Bible talks about iron sharpening iron, it's not an easy process for both sides but the end result is a great product.
If all we give our brother is good feedback, how will he grow? I have seen a number of Jake's vids and this is why I have provided my feedback.
He can choose to accept it or reject it.
