If you don't mix original mic inputs and DAW returns, and go only with the DAW sound, than you don't need to worry about latency for the FoH sound that much. I want a stable low end (which comes from the Drumagog sound) but an organic sounding "kick" sound wherefore I use the low cutted mic sound. Especially because I use a hi cut on the Drumagog signal and a low cut on the original kick. To avoid flamming/comb filtering - I use the channel delay on Input 1 and set it to 9ms. My input 1 on the X32 is the original Kick drum mic, input 2 would be the drumagog kick drum, comming from my DAW. To mix these signals (original & DAW), you have to delay the original signal to avoid comb filtering. Using VST Plugins gives me pretty exact 9ms overall latency on these signals (running with 64Samples buffer size). I almost never use this signals exclusively, there are often mixed with the original signals (using two inputs on the desk). So, mostly I used:Īux in2: distorted Bass with an AmpsimulatorĪux in3: Recabinet (an impluse response loader) fed with the Lineout Signal of the GTR amp from stageĪux in4: Mostly some FX going for the lead vocals
Therefore I choose in the "routing" section "card in" as inputs for the Aux ins 1-4. Than I hook up my MacBookPro (2011 version) grab the signals, that I want to enhance with VST Plugins and route them back to theĪux ins 1-4 on the X32. I set the X32 to firewire and use the 16in/16out setting for that. So I thought I could share this with you and maybe someone has a better or smarter way to combine the X32 with VST plugins.
I'm not sure, if this the best way to do this with the X32, but at least I found a way that works for my needs. So I tried this on my X32 too and it works quite nice. SAC is a virtual live mixing board and it is capeable to host VST plugins, which I used a lot when mixing rock-shows.

The reason why is, that in the last two years I worked a lot with SAC ( SAC - Software Audio Console ). Personally, I see little point in doing so, since life sound is always slightly skewed, much better to record raw and then treat separately on mix down.In the last couple of weeks, I was experimenting with my X32 setup. for me, that's fine because I will play back through the x32 later for mix down but if it's important to capture your eq from the night or reverb etc then you need to configure your 32 channel recording such that they record such things as fx returns. EVERYTHING is raw - the pre amps effect recording level, nothing else does by default - it's just the raw sound.
I have happily done 32 channel live recording on a modest laptop - see link for details of just how small some people have gone!Īnother point to bear in mind which may not be obvious from the previous discussion. the card out is sending raw data to laptop, if you are mixing within pro-tools, reaper etc afterwards then that's a different matter but for mixing 'out of the box' and for initial live multitrack recording you need very little laptop power - for recording you can throw out the rule book about computer resources for daw, it simply doesn't apply. I would concur with most of the above and definitely have a read of the linked thread above - it covers everything you need and as stated there YOU DO NOT NEED a beefy laptop/pc to record. Sorry this may seem an obvious question to most on here but although I have been involved in live sound for several years now, I have never done anything like this. I think it may need a different soundcard but I'm not too sure and I haven't been able to pull up much info on the topic online.Īlso, if anyone on here has had any experience using the X32 to do live multitrack recording, I would be grateful any tips/experiences/common problems anyone would be willing to share. If someone could point me in the direction of any extra hardware that I need to enable this, I would be most grateful.

I understand that the mixer can be used effectively as an audio interface, for example for Pro Tools, so that full live multitrack recordings can be made. Fortunately I've found it very easy to get my head around in normal use but I have a question which I hope somebody on here could help with: At the school where I help out on the sound and lighting, we have recently had a refurb which included a new Behringer X32 digital mixer.
