Thanks for doing these posts. I went to fully digital mixer using a laptop as a control surface. Love the plug-ins and the many outputs. It used to take racks of processing gear this does it simply, efx and eq's can be routed to all inputs/outputs- amazing. Keep doing these secret tricks, I've tried them and they actually work. Thanks again.
Thanks Daniel to give us some of your time and share all the videos. Thanks for sharing and bringing new tips for the ones who loves the M32. Greetings collegue, much love from Chile :)
Works like a charm on my XR18, I am not pro on this mixer yet and maybe you can guide me for an overall good delay, because I can’t sync it to midi and don’t have someone to do the tap to get timing good, what would be an all around delay fx and settings to work with most tempos?
You can do the tap tempo yourself on the control app on your ipad or smartphone. The tap button is on the page of the delay effect. There's no magic number that works for everything but in most cases it doesn't matter if the delay is perfectly synced to the tempo as long as it's close enough it works. If the delay is too fast or too slow compared to the song you will notice that because it feels wrong. What i can tell you is that the average person can start to notice delay when it's more than 10 milliseconds so for the delay effect anything less than 10ms is pretty much useless Somewhere between 300 and 500 ms is the short answer
As opposed to just using the key filter section which is already right there on the stock compressor? It's designed specifically for this whole trick without ever leaving the compressor section and avoids the need for user setups and extra channels
In the case of this console, you are right. But i mentioned in the beginning of the video that this method always works regardless of type of mixer or if it has a key filter feature or not. It's a more general method that doesn't rely on a specific feature of a certain console
the difference with this trick is that you have much greater EQ control over the sidechained signal. For de-essing purposes, this method is a little redundant. But let's say you have a vocalist who has a really pronounced midrange honk around 1.6k on certain vowels--you don't want to cut that frequency on the channel EQ to the point where it sounds scooped, but boosting 1.6k considerably with a bell curve on the key signal will cause your normal channel compressor to clamp down harder on those vowels.
I feel like this goes without saying, but now you're unable to use "normal" compression on that vocal channel as you've tied it up with the de-essing trick, right?
It's all well and good, but I am confused as to why you use a second channel just for this? If you entered the second page of the compressor settings there ought to be a key filter that you can change the Q value and the target frequency of...let it listen to itself but only the frequency you need, adjust the compressor accordingly, and voila, no?
Does it show up as an interface on your mac? Do you see the Xusb as an option in reaper? If yes, i have a step by step tutorial on how to setup reaper with x32 for multitrack recording. However if you don't see the interface on your mac you probably need to install a driver from the behringer website so that your mac can recognize the console interface
No not really, i was showing the general method regardless if the mixer has a filter in the side chain or not. Since this mixer does have a filter, yes you can absolutely side chain to self with the filter
Hello, is there any way to prevent some letters from exploding during recording (to avoid de-essing)? I mean, what can the vocalist do about it? Can you give a hint in terms of miking or posture? I would be grateful if you could give me some ideas on this. Thanks for the video.
It's different for every person but bringing the tongue slightly back further away from the teeth while pronouncing the s and t sounds will help reduce the harshness and make it sound more gentle but the singer has to make a conscious effort of doing that
You just need to plug your microphone into one XLR input on the back of the console then in the routing menu give that XLR input to 2 different channels as i explained in the video
@@danielkharrat okk thanks And what about the outputs how many speakers i need And if you answer me please about how i let the director listen to what i mix and speak simultaneously to the camera man's on stage?
@@just.decide_platforms. you can use the XLR outputs on the back of the console. Go to the routing menu and in the "OUT" section you can assign any of the 16 xlr outputs to anything you want. So just plug a cable into an output on the back of the console and give it to whoever needs to listen
Killer example! Loved the editing too, made it fun to watch!
You sir are the best there is at making things understandable and usable. Legend. Absolute legend. Many thanks

Thank-you! Obvious once it's explained. I use an X32 Producer and can easily spare some higher numbered channels for sidechain EQ.

WOW, clever! I hate the De-Ess Fx on my XR18, going to try this tonight, many thanks!

Well done. Thank you, I’m trying to cure this issue for our live mix with an X32 and this is great.

@@danielkharrat good point. At the same time, the mixer _does_ need to have a key source feature for this to work either way
@@yhamgtt that's true

@@timnordberg7204 good point
Brilliant!
Love your explanation💥🎳🎯 much clearer than any de-esser🩻✨
nice trick
I feel like this goes without saying, but now you're unable to use "normal" compression on that vocal channel as you've tied it up with the de-essing trick, right?
You can still insert a compressor from the effects
You could route the vocal to a sub group and compress the sub group. It can sound nice compressing vocals together rather than individually.
@@danielkharrat You could just insert a De-Esser and use the compressor normally too then 😂
Thanks Daniel, Great Info.
Very useful thank you
nice trick, just worry about that I may still need a normal comp for the vocal. use a fx insert comp for vocal can be slove this problem
this is a smart idea. thanks.
Very smart ;)

Great tips! Thanks for sharing your skills ! But How to deal with a band with Many vocals ?
nice and funny videos, man
Hello, tks for sharing. I am trying use my Mac with reaper to record with x32. I did everything but yet no work. Can you help me

Hi, I was wondering why didn't you side-chain to self with filter at 8k (and insert an fx compressor post-EQ)? Was there a specific reason?
No not really, i was showing the general method regardless if the mixer has a filter in the side chain or not. Since this mixer does have a filter, yes you can absolutely side chain to self with the filter
@@danielkharrat Amazing! Thank you so much mate. Very helpful

@@danielkharrat thanks, but I think this conscious effort seems to damage the spirit of the song as well. But despite everything worth a try.
Hello
Hii. What are the basic connections i have to do it for live program on tv used m32 mixer
If you help me the basic set up of that too?
You just need to plug your microphone into one XLR input on the back of the console then in the routing menu give that XLR input to 2 different channels as i explained in the video
@@danielkharrat okk thanks
And what about the outputs how many speakers i need
And if you answer me please about how i let the director listen to what i mix and speak simultaneously to the camera man's on stage?

@@danielkharrat thx a lot you're smart give us more videos about sound and connections in more details you're doing a great job thank you so much 👍
do you then add an insert comp to make the whole vocal signal stand out?
Yes
I feel like ur explaining a rubicks cube lmao
