![]() STEP 4: As for physical outputs, you have 8 on XLR, plus the additonal 6 1/4" TRS aux outputs. Listening in mono is no fun, and mixing in mono to achieve a clear, coherent mix is difficult at best. (For a mono setup, you'd just use the odd numbered Bus to start). STEP 3: Since you have plenty of Busses available (12 + FX), even if your IEM packs or transmitters are not currently set up for/capable of stereo, I recommend setting the Mix Busses up to be linked in pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc) so each musician has a stereo mix and it's a super easy switch when the time comes. No more yelling at one band member to "fix their sound"! STEP 2: The Mix Busses should be set to Pre-Fade from each channel - this means you (or an engineer) can build a separate Main Mix for the PA and it won't disturb your monitor mixes. And to add to your other post, each person can download an app on their smart device, connect to the wireless access point you set up, and adjust their own mix themselves. By using a different Mix Bus for each musician, everyone gets their own independent mix. And you can start off by having 5 separate mixes - may as well start from where you need to be, right? STEP 1: You will want to use Aux mixes for IEM mixes (labeled as Mix Bus in the software), not the main mix. All routing, labeling, and general levels and panning of things all pre-set and ready to go. The beautiful thing is that you can build all of this offline (not connected to the mixer), directly on your computer with the offline editor software, and then either save to a USB stick or connect your computer to the mixer, and upload to the mixer on the next rehearsal. Second question.is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do, putting the main mix into 5 separate in ear monitors by configuring things to go from 5 separate outputs straight to the IEMs? Eventually we are hoping to have individual headphone mixes controlled with apps.but for now just trying to get the main mix into each of the 5 IEMs. My problem is that I can't seem to find anywhere that explains how, on the x32 rack (I've seen multiple videos on how to do it on the non rack x32s) to assign it to a matrix.so the first question is how the heck do I do it? Two questions: first, I can't see in the manual how to actually assign the main mix to a matrix (I was able to configure things such that analog out 1 is matrix 1, analog out 2 is matrix 2.I left outputs 7 and 8 alone because they are the main outs). As I understand it I need to assign the main mix to a matrix that I then assign to one of the analog XLR outputs that I will then plug in to the in ear monitor receiver channel inputs on each transmitter. One of the members of my band purchased an x32 rack to use as a mixer to route sound from our instruments to individual band member in ear monitors. Between the new mains and getting the console streamlined the owner is already very happy with the direction things are going.I'm pretty new to digital mixing. We are taking things in steps partly bc of budget and partly so the owner and the other 2 guys who sometimes mix there can keep up. The next step is to get the 12.2s off the poles and on the ceiling - next week I hope. There is a thread about that too - I can see in certain circumstances where those would be helpful but not as an everyday starting point in a club where various guys may be mixing. ![]() I also created new "zero" scenes for the console getting rid of layers of odd matrix and mix bus crap that the previous guy used. ![]() In the meantime he has been updating the mic stash and such. to replace th Harbinger powered wedges but not right away. He has also agreed to purchase 4 more KS12.2. First order of business was to replace the mains and I got the owner to buy 2 QSC KS12.2 and 2 QSC KS181 to replace the mains. When the club started doing shows again just a couple months a go he was no longer available and they had a very rough few shows bc noone understood the rig. He came with the gear and was the house guy until Covid shut everything down. Background - they had purchased the console, a pile of Harbinger powered speakers and the typical cheap mics, stands and cables about a year and a half ago from a guy who used it with his band but then quit. I am planning to do the update Sunday after the weekend shows. I have already gotten permission to update the console and do damn near whatever will make it a better venue sound-wise.
