YES! PLEASE make a beginners guide to mixing station. YOU are a very good teacher. I sincerely appreciate all of your great content. Thank you for all you do!😊
I often drag a full laptop with me for this but hadn't really thought about just getting a dongle for use with a 2nd tablet. Far smaller and guaranteed. Thanks for the tip!
Yes on the mixing station video! Since the Behringer X Air app crashed I have been struggling with Mix Station. Its just so different!!! Awesome Channel! Thank you!!
Love to learn more about Mixing Station. I have the X-12 and had to use my older iPad (2nd Gen) because the X-Air Mixer app crashes in the new iOS. I really like this hard wire back up option as well! We are also using Xvive U4 IEM for backing track queues. Using the newer iPad Pro to run the tracks - Using a cool app called Show One to manage setlists and tracks Splitting the right and left channels into the X-12 and managing FOH and IEM in the mixer. Love your tech tips!
That's why i use a QSC Touchmix..(over Behringer..which i like as well) but the hardwire option is something I use as well..great options either way..thanks for the info!
@@ScottUhlMusic and those good things would be correct! as i said I have used the Behringer mixers and yours is top notch..It's just comes down to feature sets basically..I just find the QSC more intuitive..but in the gig world whatever works for you is the mantra
Great vid as always! Most times when I watch your vids I want to tear apart my current rig and rebuild it, so... thanks? 🤣 Now I need to see if my USB ethernet adapter will work through the USB hub connected to my iPad through the USB lightning adapter.
I just reviewed this vid and sent it to my friend who has an xr18. I’d love to get an xr18 but they’re hard to find on the used market here in Canada. I’m considering a new Allen and Heath CQ mixer. Same format as behringer but with auto feedback control on all outputs. It’s supposed to have a much better router but I’d definitely want a wired backup. Scott, I’d love to hear your opinion/review.
I have seen a LOT of people switch to Allen and Heath lately. I’ve just always enjoyed my Behringer mixers. They’ve worked so well for so long for me. But I know a lot of people like A&H
Great video, I had no idea you could do this! Future video suggestion, I can't seem to find a video on routing the MAIN L/R mix to a BUS. Sometimes it would come in handy when the you need to give the club a feed to their house system (and your still running your FOH speakers/subs.)
Thanks! And yeah you should be able to do that in the routing, but I’ve never had to do that. I’ve done that with a mix out from our speaker when we need to do that 👍
Awesome video Scott!, All your videos super helpful to me as setting up an In Ears System. Looking at a cheap tablet just for Mixing Station. What would you recommend?
I would love a session on the mixing station!! 😍😍 love your videos! I have a few questions about a setup for myself that I am planning to do. I have downloaded stage Traxx 3 and I am buying the 9th gen IPad and I will be using the iPad as my mixer and also for the lyrics for my session. (I only sing lol) Would you recommend I buy two iPads? One for singing and the other for controlling the mixing desk or so thing else. Pretty new to this as I would mostly just whip on a backing track and start singing! Thankyouuuu!!
@@ScottUhlMusic Thankyou! Also do I need to get stereo wireless transmitters for when I use Stage Traxx 3 into the mixer or is the stereo output important in my case (apologies for the confusion on my part) Thanks again!
Had my xr18 for less than a year and i’m confused if mixing station is really that much better. Unpopular opinion: i’m honestly really happy with xair edit for ipad. But i know throughout the years theyve lost a following trying to keep up with OS updates. I have both. But never find myself needing to use mixing station. But everyone on the internet seems to prefer it. Xair has customizable layers and colors and stuff. What am i missing?
Mixing station is amazing because the layout is the same for my x32 or my x18, which itself is amazing to not have to switch between the apps. But the customization of mixing station is what’s amazing about it. Plus being able to mix the xr18 on my phone instead of an iPad is also a massive plus. But if you like the app, stick with what you like. Nothing wrong with that 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic what's also great about the Mixing Station app is you're able to keep the same layout for different mixers from different manufacturers. I've used it on the X32 and other Behringer mixers but I can use it somewhere else where they have an Allen & Heath or a Soundcraft
@@ScottUhlMusicLol, So I got my router up and going and communicating with the XR16 but I bought a USB-C to Ethernet adapter and I couldn't get it to work. 😕 Am I supposed to still have it connected through the router? I thought this adapter completely bypasses it? 🤷🏽
Nevermind I didn't put the app in off line mode! Now I have both the router and my backup! Thanks Scott! Your saving a lot of people a lot of headaches!
Hey Scott thanks for all the great videos. I have the Behringer x18 and now the x-air app on the iPad is t compatible with the newest version of IOS software. I just started to play with Mixing Station and would love a tutorial. Thanks again!
I leave a laptop hooked up to my router via Ethernet cable. Even with a new 5ghz router the I pad software has a tendency to freeze up for some reason. It is an older laptop with the latest version of Linux Mint, so IF someone was to steal it, they have an old computer with the wrong OS on it. lol
Mixing Station is so much better then M32-Q by Behringer. The app is just laid out better and a lot more intuitive. At our venue one band showed up with their own wireless IEM system for all 7 members, and each had a tablet on a stand running Mixing Station, so each member could tweak their own monitor mix. It was a very impressive setup, and easily just plugged into our DL32 Remote Stage Box
@@ScottUhlMusic Can I use any cheaper Android pad to control Behringer xr12 other than an expensive iPad?...and is there an ethernet adapter for that like in this video? Thanks.
Hi scott, thank you for this very informative to connect the mixer. one question, what ethernet cable do you use for this video and recommendations you can suggest, i think cat8 is a bit overkill. thank you
Hi Scott us again ha ha Does Mixing Station need to run through out the show or if you pre design your IE mix then it doesn’t need to he plugged in throughout performance? I hope that makes sense? We’re in a rabbit hole and are bouncing off the walls lol
So for this to work you have to turn off WiFi on your tablet (iPad) in order for Mixing Station to see the XR-18, correct? When I use it with WiFi on for my tablet (external router), then the XR-18 never shows. I don't want to use the internal WiFi on the XR-18 and I'm also running StageTraxx3 on my iPad hosting for other iPad on my external WiFi for live shows. Thanks Scott!
So the router on my Behringer xr18 uplaods as fast as the connector you put on. Now I too use a lan line. But your speed and need for another router seem off
Hi Scott: have you ever used a Mackie DL 16 S? How does it compare with the Behringer XR 18 you use? I went to a music store asking for the Behringer but they would not recommend it; instead they recommend the Mackie as waaay better. I have read that both have connectivity issues and people in reviews recommend to use an external dual router on both, for wireless connection. I am concerned more about durability.
Anyone who says the behringer stuff is not good is incorrect. They are fantastic units, and I use them constantly. I haven’t used the Mackie’s but Mackie does make good stuff so I’m sure it’s good as well. But definitely get a good external router with any of them
Those X18's have an extremely poor buildin wifi router. Don't know why Behringer had to cheap out that much on an other wise great product for the price tag. Not sure if the Midas versions is the same problem but all say to set aside some money for an outboard router. Great video cause that's the only problem with these software controlled mixers, if the connection somehow fails your screwed. I get why some are scared to go with a product that have no tactile interaction if your wifi suddenly don't work
Hiya mrdali67, I have an XR12 & it gave up on wifi intermittently after about 3 months & totally after 12. Given the total [cheap] cost & the Midas pre’s, I reckon I got what I paid for. Can’t make this hack work either, sadly.
@@pierreluniere You should be able to just turn the buildin wifi router off and buy a wifi router and connect it via the Ethernet port on the back just like you can connect a laptop directly. I don’t have personly experience with these mixers other than seen the xr18 in action and was pretty amazed about the ammount of features for the price. But I have tried to convince my band to go with a Presonus Studiolive rackmount mixer which works much like these by using either a mobile app or pc/Mac software just with a reliable buildin wifi. Its on par with the Beringer X32 system
Another cool solution. I've got an old hardware DAW that has a couple RCA and Optical inputs I'd like use, but I need an inexpensive analog to digital converter. I've read that many have latency problems. Do you have any suggestions on makes and models that work well? Thanks
Hi Scott, I love your tutorials and your tipps! I have one question regarding this video: I usually use a wireless router to access my x32-Rack with my iPad and also use mixing station and sometimes X32 App. I just tried out your cable-based connection but have problems with the network connection. What do I have to configure on my iPad and on my X32 when I use the wire-based method? Thank you for a short tipp, regards and thanks a lot, Claus from Germany, Blackwood
We use the Soundcraft 24 channel and we’ve been using just the internal built in router inside the Soundcraft mixer. Anyone else use theirs this way? We have been thinking of just going direct. What is the point of having both? Why would you need the wireless if you have it plugged directly? It seems like they would compete for control. These may sound like stupid questions and I apologize but I not really run the sound, just end up buying everything for the band. Great video and I’m looking forward to any answers.
I don’t have the soundcraft, but the behringer built in router is awful. So usually using an external Wi-Fi router is best. This is just an option to have a hard wired line for a very fast and reliable connection 👍
Is this new? I got the same setup stuff from other CZcams videos but I couldn’t make it work at first. I even bought another router and through trial and many errors I got it to work tethered or wirelessly. So now if I have trouble with one router, I can switch to another or go wired.
How do you get the iPad to control the mixer once it is connected? I have the Ethernet cable and dongle, but the app is not recognizing the mixer being connected
I have a network for the equipment and another network for the users. Between the networks there is a firewall. I need to know which TCP/IP ports should be allowed on the firewall. Do you know what ports?
How long have you had yours? Give it a bit longer & it will dawn on you . .cheapest component in the box. .you’re just lucky yours hasn’t gone astray . .yet . .
Scott. Despite having been in the business since well before you were born I have learned a great deal from your excellent videos. I would like to run our ui16 from an iPad as right now I'm using my ancient MacBook Pro which I would like to stop taking to gigs. We run tracks from an iPad using Stage Traxx 3 which we picked up after one of your recommendations. The problem is I'm using the adaptor, the iPad sees the ethernet connection and I have purchased Mixing Station with a license for the mixer and nothing I can do will get Mixing Station to find the ui16. What am I missing here?
Thanks! Glad you have found the video helpful! That’s interesting… try turning off WIfi on the iPad and see if that works. I haven’t had much experience with the soundcraft tbh
Can you use both a wired and wireless connection at the same time if plugged in directly to the X18? Or can you only do that if you're using and external router?
Hey Scott, I Dj with streaming software like Tidal and Spotify. Sometimes, the wifi at the places I gig, suck or are private. Do you have any portable wifi recommendations? Maybe a video I've missed? Thanks for any help.
So I bought the adapter you have. I connected my iPad to the XR18 with the adapter and an Ethernet cable. I’m still using the XAir Edit app. It can’t find the mixer. I’ve tried typing in the IP address from the Ethernet settings in the mixer network settings to no avail. Does it still have to go through a router or am I missing something?
I cannot get this to connect for the life of me. Wired ethernet to MacAir - works if Wifi is turned off. Wifi connection to iPad via a TP Link travel router works fine as well. But ethernet to dongle to iPad - cannot find the mixer. tried swapping cables, etc. No dice. Would love a networking troubleshooting video - these things are so squirrely....
Hi Scott, thank you for these great tutos about Mixing Station ! Infortunately I can't connect XR18 to the app directly with ethernet cable (using an adaptor of course)... The ipad recognize well the ethernet connection but nothing apears in the app. Any idea ? Thanks by advance !
I second this…. It looks like they’re communicating but the app doesn’t want to open to the mixer. I can see the Ethernet slot open up under WiFi settings and the IP address shows up in Ethernet settings; just don’t know if I should be changing anything. I purchased the adapter solely on the strength of this video and can’t seem to find any other info for using it in this manner anywhere’s else out there. Any help would be much appreciated!
Can you save full SCENES with Mixing Station on iPad? As I understand it (please someone correct me if I’m wrong), the only way to save SCENES (full mix parameters with unique names that are load-able) with the XR18 is on a laptop, which is why I use my XR18, a laptop and a separate router always hooked to a network switch. This way, if my separate router dies I have the laptop, if the network switch dies I have the onboard WI-FI (and an iPad), so I have a double backup system AND I can save/load scenes for different bands and/or venues with the laptop. If the XR18 dies I have a load-out…
@@ScottUhlMusic Excellent, thanks! I guess I can retire the old laptop and just use an iPad into the network switch with this adapter. Cool, and much lighter! I’m pretty comfortable with the X-Air Edit App, but I suppose I could just use that at home for labeling and coloring stuff until I’m more familiar with those functions in MS.
@@ScottUhlMusic well thanks for the great info on the hardwire solution. I’ll definitely pick up the adapter if I ever do another gig with it and the iPad.
To be able to connect directly from a tablet/phone, don't you need to assign a fixed IP address to the XR18? By default it expects DHCP, and this does not seem to work for me if I connect my phone directly to the Ethernet port.
@@ScottUhlMusic I turned off the tablet wifi, I set Xair18 on 'ethernet' and then I chose SEARCH....but i had an error message....same with wifi client and access pointer....but I think the correct one shoukd be ETHERNET, doesn't it?
Can @Scott Uhl or anyone else here give me a little direction on using this adapter?I've gotten two of them and still haven't managed to get either of them to work. Do I have to change any settings in the mix station app or is it as simple as plugging the Ethernet port in my XR-16 through the Ethernet/USB adapter into my tablet and opening the app? WiFi setting are off right because are being bypassed?
@@ScottUhlMusic Does it still need to be plugged in to the router? I saw on a forum someone saying that the router will communicate the IP addresses otherwise without the XAIR-16 and the tablet won't communicate properly. 🤷🏽 It could be my tablet. It's an Amazon Fire Tablet which the OS is super basic.
None of this worked for me. I can make my MAC laptop work via ethernet but my iPad will not. So frustrating. I hook it just as described try to launch the XAir app and there is a Connect dialogue box looking for an IP address. But there is no place to find the IP address. Dead end....sucks!
Maybe I'm a nerd, but I always find it funny that people call these "adapters" or "converters" while it's a network card in a tiny box. It's like calling an audio interface '1/4" to USB adapter' and that's how it sounds like to me.
Hey Scott, I got one of these Ethernet to lightning adapters for my iPad and tried connecting it to my XR16 using the Behringer XAir Edit app but it won’t recognize the mixer. Do you know if this wired connection will work with the XAir app and if so, what I need to do?
Hmmm... Scott, be aware that I think someone is trying to con your subscribers into sending money for shipping, for a fan "giveaway"!! I just received a message from "you", giving away a guitar, case, amp, etc.
Yup, CZcams is AWFUL, and I mean AWFUL at catching these. It’s so painfully obvious when they do it… and that’s why I have to say in basically all of my videos to not fall for scammers and I will “never ever ever ever EVER ask you for money.” I try to delete them when I see them, but I cannot catch all of them since they are bots. I’m doing my best. I despise scammers

You can control the mixer with mixing station at any time or just set it and forget it 🤘🤘
Please review the new digital mixers from Yamaha. The DM3 specially as it looks like a direct competitor to the Behringer digital mixers.

The built in router on the behringer is often very very slow. But it works sometimes
I would be very interested in seeing your review of Mixing Station. I use Xair Edit but have been tempted to try MS
Mixing station is worth it! A lot of people are asking for the video, so looks like I’m going to have to for sure

I have one question regarding this video: I usually use a wireless router to access my x32-Rack with my iPad and also use mixing station and sometimes X32 App. I just tried out your cable-based connection but have problems with the network connection. What do I have to configure on my iPad and on my X32 when I use the wire-based method?
Thank you for a short tipp, regards and thanks a lot, Claus from Germany, Blackwood
Hmm, mine just worked automatically. I connected it, and my iPad recognized it was connected via Ethernet and it worked automatically. So I’m not sure
Were you able to get it to work?
It works when wired from router to IPad but not when wired directly from Qu-SB to IPad. Has anyone out there got this to work with the Qu-SB?
We use the Soundcraft 24 channel and we’ve been using just the internal built in router inside the Soundcraft mixer. Anyone else use theirs this way? We have been thinking of just going direct. What is the point of having both? Why would you need the wireless if you have it plugged directly? It seems like they would compete for control. These may sound like stupid questions and I apologize but I not really run the sound, just end up buying everything for the band. Great video and I’m looking forward to any answers.
I don’t have the soundcraft, but the behringer built in router is awful. So usually using an external Wi-Fi router is best. This is just an option to have a hard wired line for a very fast and reliable connection 👍
Is this new? I got the same setup stuff from other CZcams videos but I couldn’t make it work at first. I even bought another router and through trial and many errors I got it to work tethered or wirelessly. So now if I have trouble with one router, I can switch to another or go wired.
This definitely works well for me!
How do you get the iPad to control the mixer once it is connected? I have the Ethernet cable and dongle, but the app is not recognizing the mixer being connected
This seems to be a common issue, and I’ve never ran into it, so I honestly don’t know
I have a network for the equipment and another network for the users. Between the networks there is a firewall.
I need to know which TCP/IP ports should be allowed on the firewall.
Do you know what ports?
That I don’t know
@@ScottUhlMusic I heard something about port 10024
Hi Scott! is it possible for me to use the hardwire method with multiple Ethernet adapter to connect several devices, like a laptop and an iPad?
I haven’t tried that
Would a iPad docking station hub with multiple usbs and Ethernet out work?
I would think so?
Why do people use external routers for the X32 and XAirs? Our XR16 has a built in access point to connect to?
Have you used the built in router? It’s quite awful
How long have you had yours? Give it a bit longer & it will dawn on you . .cheapest component in the box. .you’re just lucky yours hasn’t gone astray . .yet . .
Scott. Despite having been in the business since well before you were born I have learned a great deal from your excellent videos. I would like to run our ui16 from an iPad as right now I'm using my ancient MacBook Pro which I would like to stop taking to gigs. We run tracks from an iPad using Stage Traxx 3 which we picked up after one of your recommendations. The problem is I'm using the adaptor, the iPad sees the ethernet connection and I have purchased Mixing Station with a license for the mixer and nothing I can do will get Mixing Station to find the ui16. What am I missing here?
Thanks! Glad you have found the video helpful! That’s interesting… try turning off WIfi on the iPad and see if that works. I haven’t had much experience with the soundcraft tbh
@@ScottUhlMusic I had the same issue with my XR12 but can confirm that turning WIFI off has worked for me. LEGEND!
Hi Scott, thanks for the videos. Do you know if this works with PreSonus studiolive series 3 consoles running their UC surface control software?
I haven’t used PreSonus stuff, but I want to. But if it has an Ethernet option, this should work with any of them 👍
Scott do you use tonex pedal , if so was wondering about hiring you for another a zoom meeting
Hey man! No I haven’t. I need to look into it. A lot of people say they like it
@ScottUhlMusic cool I'm trying to get it linked to my computer lol , hope alls well holar at ya soon
so lets say, you do a hard connection to a device and you dont need internet ?
like if you are controlling everything trough 1 device ?
You won’t need the internet to use the method I go over in this video if that’s what you are asking
@@ScottUhlMusic yes thank you
hello friend, how can I connect the xair 12 directly to the android tablet, I tried some adapter but it won't work
I don’t have any android stuff so I’m not sure
Can you use both a wired and wireless connection at the same time if plugged in directly to the X18? Or can you only do that if you're using and external router?
One or the other because you have to flip the switch to Ethernet or WiFi client (the built in WiFi which isn’t great)
@@ScottUhlMusic awesome thank you!
Hi there
I have QU-sb from Allen & Heath and saw your video and I buy the adapter but it doesn’t work I don’t know why
I haven’t used that mixer before, so I’m not sure
@@ScottUhlMusic ok thanks for your help
Hey Scott, I Dj with streaming software like Tidal and Spotify. Sometimes, the wifi at the places I gig, suck or are private. Do you have any portable wifi recommendations? Maybe a video I've missed? Thanks for any help.
Not really for anything like that. If you find one, let me know! I have routers for digital mixers and that’s it but not for internet
I have a regular iPad not a pro and I tried everything and it will not work I Gisele it only works with the iPad pro
A lot of people are having that problem, but I never had. I’ll need to look into it
So I bought the adapter you have. I connected my iPad to the XR18 with the adapter and an Ethernet cable. I’m still using the XAir Edit app. It can’t find the mixer. I’ve tried typing in the IP address from the Ethernet settings in the mixer network settings to no avail. Does it still have to go through a router or am I missing something?
Try mixing station and see if you get the same results. Mixing station is so much easier than the xair app
I cannot get this to connect for the life of me. Wired ethernet to MacAir - works if Wifi is turned off. Wifi connection to iPad via a TP Link travel router works fine as well. But ethernet to dongle to iPad - cannot find the mixer. tried swapping cables, etc. No dice. Would love a networking troubleshooting video - these things are so squirrely....
Interesting… mine has worked great. Adapters can be tricky sometimes
Will this work on Mackie dl16s?cheers .
If it has a Ethernet in, it should work with that 👍
So what are the settings when connecting like this? I have mine connected and Mix Station is not seeing the mixer.
I’ll need to look into it more because some people have said they have this issue, but mine connects automatically so I’m not sure
@@ScottUhlMusicCould you share the network settings you have on your mixer and iPad?
Hi Scott, thank you for these great tutos about Mixing Station !
Infortunately I can't connect XR18 to the app directly with ethernet cable (using an adaptor of course)... The ipad recognize well the ethernet connection but nothing apears in the app. Any idea ?
Thanks by advance !
I need to look into this. I haven’t had a problem with mine, but you aren’t the first comment I’ve seen say this. Try turning off WIfi possibly?
@@ScottUhlMusicthanks! Let us know if you find something! Cheers
Hi Scott, did you find something ? Cheers !
I second this…. It looks like they’re communicating but the app doesn’t want to open to the mixer. I can see the Ethernet slot open up under WiFi settings and the IP address shows up in Ethernet settings; just don’t know if I should be changing anything. I purchased the adapter solely on the strength of this video and can’t seem to find any other info for using it in this manner anywhere’s else out there. Any help would be much appreciated!
Can you save full SCENES with Mixing Station on iPad? As I understand it (please someone correct me if I’m wrong), the only way to save SCENES (full mix parameters with unique names that are load-able) with the XR18 is on a laptop, which is why I use my XR18, a laptop and a separate router always hooked to a network switch. This way, if my separate router dies I have the laptop, if the network switch dies I have the onboard WI-FI (and an iPad), so I have a double backup system AND I can save/load scenes for different bands and/or venues with the laptop. If the XR18 dies I have a load-out…
You 100% can save scenes on mixing station. I do it all the time on my behringer xr18
@@ScottUhlMusic Excellent, thanks! I guess I can retire the old laptop and just use an iPad into the network switch with this adapter. Cool, and much lighter! I’m pretty comfortable with the X-Air Edit App, but I suppose I could just use that at home for labeling and coloring stuff until I’m more familiar with those functions in MS.
Mixing Station PLEASE‼️
Lots of comments asking for mixing station video! Definitely on my list 🤘
Can I play music audio from the iPad to the mixer via wireless Wi-Fi?
No, you cannot
I purchased this device today and need to know the details about this.
Does this work with the Xair app? I thought the mixer put out it’s own Wi-Fi connection.
It works with the xair app. The xair series does have a built in WIfi router but it is really awful
@@ScottUhlMusic well thanks for the great info on the hardwire solution. I’ll definitely pick up the adapter if I ever do another gig with it and the iPad.
To be able to connect directly from a tablet/phone, don't you need to assign a fixed IP address to the XR18? By default it expects DHCP, and this does not seem to work for me if I connect my phone directly to the Ethernet port.
I didn’t need to assign anything specific like that for mine. Mixing station is great like that 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic I do have Mixing Station. I wonder if you can tell me what your XR18 settings are for the Ethernet LAN.
@@luizotaviozorzellaHi Luizo, Inhave the same problem, did you find a solution to this ?! 😅
Hi Scott, I'm not able to connect to mixing station... Do I need to set Ethernet, WiFi client or Access Point on M Air 18?
Try turning off your Wi-Fi and see if that works
@@ScottUhlMusic I turned off the tablet wifi, I set Xair18 on 'ethernet' and then I chose SEARCH....but i had an error message....same with wifi client and access pointer....but I think the correct one shoukd be ETHERNET, doesn't it?
WE NEED A TUTORIAL FOR MIXING STATION!!!
Editing it now :)
Can @Scott Uhl or anyone else here give me a little direction on using this adapter?I've gotten two of them and still haven't managed to get either of them to work. Do I have to change any settings in the mix station app or is it as simple as plugging the Ethernet port in my XR-16 through the Ethernet/USB adapter into my tablet and opening the app? WiFi setting are off right because are being bypassed?
Interesting, I honestly don’t know, it worked immediately for me
@@ScottUhlMusic Does it still need to be plugged in to the router? I saw on a forum someone saying that the router will communicate the IP addresses otherwise without the XAIR-16 and the tablet won't communicate properly. 🤷🏽 It could be my tablet. It's an Amazon Fire Tablet which the OS is super basic.
@scottuhlmusic It's my OS in my tablet. It's an Amazon Fire Tablet and it's garbage so it can't recognize the adapter.
None of this worked for me. I can make my MAC laptop work via ethernet but my iPad will not. So frustrating. I hook it just as described try to launch the XAir app and there is a Connect dialogue box looking for an IP address. But there is no place to find the IP address. Dead end....sucks!
Use mixing station instead. It’s much better: czcams.com/video/bGcOnbUFjA0/video.htmlsi=FeLaXsJUqG31aSNu
Maybe I'm a nerd, but I always find it funny that people call these "adapters" or "converters" while it's a network card in a tiny box. It's like calling an audio interface '1/4" to USB adapter' and that's how it sounds like to me.
Haha fair enough 😁
what happens if ehternet does not apear on pad ?
I’m not sure, mine always shows up
I FIND IN MIX STATION BUT NOT XR APP @@ScottUhlMusic
why could this be do u enter ip adress on xapp??@@ScottUhlMusic
Hey Scott, I got one of these Ethernet to lightning adapters for my iPad and tried connecting it to my XR16 using the Behringer XAir Edit app but it won’t recognize the mixer. Do you know if this wired connection will work with the XAir app and if so, what I need to do?
I believe it should, I know I’ve done that. Try mixing station instead, or it could be a bad adapter or cable
@@ScottUhlMusic so I should just be able to plug it in and the app should recognize the mixer? No settings to change?
@@scottbullard3479 That's how it worked for me, yes
@@ScottUhlMusic ok, thanks for info 👍
If it's an old ipad air like mine that runs on ios 12.5.7, it doesn't have the ethernet option under wifi in settings, like the newer ipads. 😥
I think you mean “Lightning”
Thanks! I missed the typo. Fixed it 🤘
Hmmm... Scott, be aware that I think someone is trying to con your subscribers into sending money for shipping, for a fan "giveaway"!! I just received a message from "you", giving away a guitar, case, amp, etc.
Yup, CZcams is AWFUL, and I mean AWFUL at catching these. It’s so painfully obvious when they do it… and that’s why I have to say in basically all of my videos to not fall for scammers and I will “never ever ever ever EVER ask you for money.” I try to delete them when I see them, but I cannot catch all of them since they are bots. I’m doing my best. I despise scammers
