Hello from South Korea. I am grateful for this set-up video in detail. I have not been able to find any Korean tutorial with this much of info and learner friendly pace. Thank you so much. It will help our team a lot!
Thank you for the kind words, you MADE MY DAY! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. You can gather your team together and we can do a Zoom Call. danatucker.com/talk-with-dana/
Thanks Dana! As a new X-32 Rack owner, this is the best tutorial I've seen on creating mix busses on the X-32 rack and including the X-32 Mix software I've found. Lots of videos tell how they have already set it up on the X-32 (non-rack), but none show how to achieve that setup. Yours is wonderful. Can't wait to watch your other videos!
Wow, thanks! Ya made my Day!! Just so you know, I also do one on one hands on training through Zoom. www.danatucker.com
Thanks so much Dana for the info. Just picked up an x32 rack for a new ears system and this video not only helped with getting the ears setup, but also with some quick basics on general setup!
Glad I could help and thank you for the kind words! I also do one on one training via Zoom. danatucker.com.
Thanks so much! There is a lot of information in all your tutorials! I've some adjustment to do BUT everything's start to work for my Live rack system because of you !
Merci beaucoup Dana ! Cheers from France!
Glad I could help and thank you for the kind words! What a beautiful country!! I also do one on one training via Zoom. danatucker.com.
Just stumbled upon this gem of a video. This is such a great tutorial, it's a shame you didn't get more views. It's the best and easiest explanation I've seen so far
Thanks a ton! Subscribers like you can help get the word out.
Wow. VERY comprehensive! Thank you so much for making this video. My band Waking Tera is about to tackle setting up our first IEM system with the X32 and this is the BEST video I've seen on how to jump in and hit the ground running. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
Glad it was helpful and THANK YOU for the kind words. Just so you know, I do offer one on one training. You can check it out at danatucker.com.
Man you should be a college professor. The way you teach is so easy to comprehend!
Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot!!

Thank you for this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
I am not that familiar with routing but this one is a brilliant description !! Thanks a lot !!!
You're very welcome!
Thanks Dana.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome! Glad it helped!!
Wow, this was super helpful information!!! Thank you sir!!!
Glad it was helpful! I am working on a video series that will explain the FX racks that come stock with the X32. Keep a eye out!
I will be looking out for that! I am a complete newb, and I am trying to stand up a Presonus X32 rack system for the church I attend. We went with Sure IEM’s and that is why I saw your video. We don’t have a house band yet so I wanted to use some videos from live worship sessions on CZcams and run that through the PA system, and run that feed into the item mix so we can sing along with the videos. Do you know a good way to send the video out to the android tablets the singers will have, so they can see what the congregation is seeing? They should also be able to control their iem mix with them too? I hope
I am uploading a video now, that shows how to add a virtual band to the X32.
That is awesome Dana!!! I am on it !!! Thanks for that video in advance!!!
I will definitly buy one of those
It's a great mixer for the money!!
I do the same, but for 6 stereo in ear mixes. I have X32 Rack plus SD16. Musicians perform better when hearing stereo monitor. Pairs of buses linked together.
I agree.
Hey Dana... First of all, thank you so much for teaching us the workings of the X32 Rack! It's very much appreciated!
I am using the X32 Rack and the Edit software.
I have been setting up my X32 Rack the last couple of days and cannot for the life of me figure out a specific send.
For example:.....
I have my mic on channel 1 and am sending that 'Pre-Fade' to my IEM buss.
I am also sending my mic 'Post-Fade' to a reverb buss to get the reverb coming out of the mail L/R
I want that reverb to also be sent to my IEM buss.
I have figured out how to do this but I only get the reverb in my monitor mix when my channel fader is up. (in other words it seems to be post fade from my mic channel). When my mic channel fader is down I am only getting my dry signal in my ears.
When I click on the reverb bus and go to sends, it only gives me the option to send this reverb to a matrix and not to my monitor mix.
Although I am getting the reverb signal in my ears, I would like this to be pre-fade so I can set it in my monitor mix without the main mix effecting the reverb.
Thanks Dana! 🙂 🙂
You will need to change your settings from post fader to pre fader. I would also need to look at your scene, as this may be a two or three factor fix. I also run a private FB group, "X32 Rack Users" with close to 5,000 members that deal with the X32 Rack, as well as a website www.x32rack.com. You are welcome to join both to get advice concerning the X32 Rack and stage boxes.
@@DanaTucker1 Thanks Dana.... I figured out my issue but will for sure join the facebook support groups... Thanks again Dana!
thanks for sharing
My pleasure
excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, thanks a lot!
Could you explain how to send FX (say reverb and delay on vox) to the main LR, and how to send just reverb on only MixBus1?
Thanks again.

Hey Brother, if you are still having questions after you read my response to you in our community, you can make an appointment with me and we can go over this via Zoom, via on one. danatucker.com/talk-with-dana/
Hi Dan! This is by far, the most excellent tutorial seen yet. Would we need several receivers to route the mixer in order to EQ several singers' IEM, or just 1 receiver. Thanks so much. 🙏🏾
There are two types of systems. One with a single transmitter and several receivers, and one with a single transmitter and one receiver. If you have the first system then you can not give everyone a dedicated mix, whereas if everyone has their own mix bus, then you can give each person what they want to hear, aka, a dedicated mix.
Thanks for the perfect explanation. Are the Mixbusses pre or post spring discontinued?
I don't understand "pre or post spring discontinued".
Thank you so much for this information. Can this be use with android phones ? thank you in advance...
I think you can do this using the X32-Q app. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.behringer.android.control.app.x32q&hl=en_US&gl=US
how do I control the mute functions independently from the aux send to the main mix. So when I mute a backing track on the main mix it mutes it on the aux send too. i'm using a XR18
I don't use the XR18, I use the S16. You should be able to just set up a bus for your aux and then send that bus to the mains. If you mute the bus then it should not go into the aux or the mains.
I have an X32 Rack + S16. If I want to set up 4 stereo monitor mixes in addition to a main monitor mix, what is the best way to do that? Use Outputs 1-8 for monitors, then route 9/10 or 11/12 as Main LR?
By default, outputs 7 and 8 are for the mains when using the rack. When you add in the S16, most people including myself will use outputs 15 and 16 for the mains. Using outputs 1 -8 for your stereo monitor mixes is fine. I also run a private FB group, "X32 Rack Users" with close to 5,000 members that deal with the X32 Rack, as well as a website www.x32rack.com. You are welcome to join both to get advice concerning the X32 Rack and stage boxes.
Thanx for the great vid! Dumb question but can you send IEM 1 in bus 1 out aux 1 on the back of the x32 rack? Run a 1/4 inch to 3.5 for my in ears?
You can but it will be a line level signal. You will need to amplify it once it leaves the X32.
Dana, thank you..a lot of help..newbie here. I have iem’s set up via your x32 edit video using P16 M,I also have a beat buddy drum machine with two outs. I want to run one out to just the iem on the p16m. And the other out to the PA. I can not figure out the routing. Any help appreciated. All I get is noise. Thank you,
Terry R
Glad it was helpful! You need to determine how you are going to be running into the X32, from your drum machine. I have a Alesis 16 drum machine that I can run into my Rack sing XLR or 1/4 inputs. Then you can choose how to setup your routing. If you use aux ins 1 and 2, then select aux 1 to go to the mains and select aux 2 under the Utranet section of your routing, and select aux 2 direct out to any channel of the P16. If you would like to check out my one on one training for the X32s, please go to www.danatucker.com
Good Tutorial, Dana.
If I have 2 S16's, stage left..stage right.... can I send a Stereo Bus to Out 7,8 on one S16 (AES A 7,8 ) and the 'Same' Bus signal to 15,16 ( AES A 15,16) on the other S16? Or do I have to use another Stereo Bus for this?
You can run the same mix bus out of every XLR/1/4 Inch output if you want to. It does a internal split. You would simply go to "Out 1-16" and assign the same two mix buses to 15 & 16 and 7 & 8.
Quick question: How would you run a stereo in ear mix? Thank you so much.
Simply link to buses together. Keep in mind you can only link odd to even, like linking bus 1 to bus 2. You CAN NOT link bus 2 to bus 3.
You Clicked on "LOAD" to load a Preset, and you had a path with Presets in it, but I dont have that. So, where did you get those? Sure they are on the Console of the unit, but we are working in X32 Edit.
That is correct. You insert a thumb drive into the front USB port, copy the presets and paste them into a folder on your computer. When you are in edit and load a preset, go to the folder you pasted them into.
I’m new to the x32 rack while watching the video are you saying that the x32 is acting as the transmitter and the iPhone acting as the receiver and plus my in-ear monitors to the phone?
No. You need to connect the X32 to a router. The apps talk to the X32 via wifi.
I'm still learning x32-mix on my ipad. Is it normal when setting up IEM to get vocals bleeding through from the reverb channel when the vocals are actually muted? I'm thinking I set it up wrong.
That's normal. If you put the reverb returns on the same mute group, you should not hear anything.
How do you do a Factory reset???
You need to do this from the mixer. Go to setup and look under the first or second column and look for Mix Reset. Select it and follow the promps. WARNING! Depending on what version of firmware you are using, you may need to mannually backup all your scenes, cues, snippets, fx presets, banks layouts, channels presets, etc.
Hey we are desperately trying to setup the x32 to run our in ears, click track and stereo backing tracks. We have updated the firmware to 4.09 and we are using a Mac. The x32 edit app says not connected. We can’t seem to get it to connect. We tried using it as a sound card in studio one, it sees the x usb as a card there but we are only getting 1 channel. I have when into the io to check the routining and it seems good there. But we can’t seem to get x32 edit to connect and we cannot get the ip to work properly.. what are we missing?
Without looking at your scene it is impossible to tell. If you want to do a 45 min Zoom Call where we can go over everything, please check out this link. danatucker.com/talk-with-dana/
Greetings Dana
You comment on the gain being high because the mic is quite far away, I have recently got an x32 rack and my gain has to be high even when the mic in close proximity
The gain is about 3/4 with a sm58 should I be concerned about my unit?
Cheers
Maff
Hey Maff, without knowing what you are using the SM58 for, it really is hard to say. However, regardless of what you are trying to record, you need to adjust your gain in till the input meter reads between a -18 and -15dbs. Dynamic mics will always require more gain then condensers. So if you are trying to record someone who speaks very soft, then you will use much more gain then if you were recording a bass amp, 1/2 an inch away.

How are you setting up click tracks ?
Most people will set them up in the DAW and play it back through the mixer.
@@DanaTucker1 cool cool. I haven’t messed around with daw for live yet but will have to look into that.
How do we go about linking mix busses for stereo in-ear mixes?
What program are you using to run the X32?
@@DanaTucker1 I will be using the cymatic audio lp16 to playback multitracks and click but I will be using reaper to organise my tracks
I am not familiar with that program. I use X32 Edit as it shows in the video.
@@DanaTucker1 Sorry using x32 edit to run the X32
For some reason I am not getting signal with phantom power engaged. There’s no signal on the meters either so it’s not just not getting to the monitors. Have I pressed something accidentally?
All you need to do is make sure you have the channel selected by clicking on it, then go to the config tab and make sure you have the 48v Phantom power button highlighted. That's all there is to it.
Where can I get the presets for EQ? I can't seem to find them
What program are you using with the rack? You should be able to look to the right where it says "Load". From there you would choose scenes or presets.
I am also having this issue. I looked on the behringer website for the presets for the rack and could not find them anywhere.
The presets are already in the X32 under effects I think. You would insert your thumb drive, and export the presets to the thumb drive and then copy them to your computer from the thumb drive.
@@DanaTucker1 Would the export via thumb drive operation be triggered on the face of the actual unit when the USB is plugged into the front? Or can this be done say using Edit?
Once you insert your thumb drive, you would then need to export them to it, and then transfer them to your computer. Check out this video. czcams.com/video/Jt4F4j0bNNU/video.html
