The one thing I wish they had added to both the Midas M32 and the Behringer X32 is a place to plug in a Larger Video Monitor . That would of been VERY HELPFUL ..... For the Record I have around 5000 Shows under my Belt doing work for High Schools , Colleges , Churchs , and Theater . My firstshow I did using wireless mics I had 6 and I thought I was so cool .The last show I did had 76 wireless systems in the show but we only used 43 at a time . The one Place I think Digital Boards Shine . But I am 67 and Love my Midas XL3 ....ANALOGE WILL BE BACK !
I think the Midas M32 is sill the most good looking and with the best overllook. Although there are digi consoles that have more capacity and about the same dividing of i and o, none of them has scribble strips that have the option of having different colors. There is the Yamaha TF series and the Presonus S/L series with touch screens and multiple channel recording by thumbdrive. Are those Preamps on the Midas really that good? They must be, because the price of those consoles are still up there.
I actually enjoy working on the X32 the best, which is identical in conceptual layout and software. I agree with what you said, the customizable Scribble Strips are a game changer for organization.
Thank you for sharing. I like the color coding for principals vs secondary. I'm used to color coding for male/female, but I think I'm going to change that based on this video. Most mixers these days are using DCAs for line-by-line mixing based on scene snippets, but I don't have any experience in setting that up. Do you use Qlab and are you familiar with setting that up to work with the M32? Again, thank you.
Yes, for that show we had one computer running Qlab for soundtracks going into stereo channels on layer 3, and a second computer going into another stereo pair running QLab for sound effects. You just need to set up a linked stereo pair on two channels and bring in the input from the computer.
Tough but we all have to do it. One thing is to try an have a one word description for each character, so you can name the channel with both: Alex / Pilot. And be sure to be muted when backstage.
@@bdpgarage If the show moves through discrete clear scenes, and the mic changes are typically between scenes, then have a show cue list is a great idea.
I believe a Sound Board is on a Piano .... What is in the Video is called a DESK , Or a Mixing Board , Or a Mixing Console or a few other things . But it is never called a Sound Board . It makes no sound . well you Pray it makes no noise . LOL..LOL.. Then it would be a pile of Crap . LOL...LOL..
I came here directly from the Educational Theatre Association website. I was on a discussion thread about the best "Sound Board." These are theatre teachers and directors from around the country. Nobody, at all, was trying to 'gatekeep' the terminology. If everyone knows what we're talking about, what difference does it make?

Any tips on setting up the board to handle mic swaps back and forth between performers? (Not enough mics for all performers)

would you suggest using snippets for each actor and then set up cues to load as the show goes on?@@jweaks
