X32 Feature Request and Issue Reporting Thread

[kolbep]

Feature Requests (Should be easy to implement in firmware):
1) Allow us to turn off Autosave of the scene, why :
For a church service, the band rehearses on a Tuesday, and the service is on a Sunday (There is a Sound check on the sunday as well). So on Tuesday we refine the mix as much as possible.
But then there is another function, such as a Wedding, etc, before that time. The person then adjusts settings on the desk, and the desk autosaves the scene. There goes the refinement.
If we could just have a menu option to Turn off Autosave, so that we have to specifically save the scene.

2) Local User Authentication:
Admin User, Priviledged Users, Default User.
When desk starts up, it is in the default user mode, you can only operate sections (such as Faders and Eq, and maybe Scene Loading), that the admin has defined. All other sections are locked out.
If you press a button, or go into a menu, then you can choose a username, and put in a password.
If you then log in as a priviledged user, you can use what functions the admin has enabled you for.
If you log in as admin, you have full control of all sections, you can add more users, and select which sections the other users are allowed to access.
This will allow the TD to set up the scene for the service, save it.
Then when the Volunteer comes to run the desk (Say for a wedding, etc), they cannot mess around with routing, and anything else that they are not supposed to.

I would like to see the USB L/R and Aux 5/6 reroutable. We can't use the USB for playback because we record, so the USB L/R channels could definitely be used elsewhere.

Hi,

There is almost nothing to say what is not already mentioned in this thread to improve the console.
What I would like to see in one of the next updates is the possibility to run stereo busses which uses the same panning as the main main of the channel. This would especially helpful when using linked channels with stereo panning.

Other things, already mentioned, I would add are: A de-esser as an alternative to the channel gates, a rta display for finding feedback frequencies easier. An soon available S16's of course.

Regards

Klaus

iPad XiControl. yesterday we had 3 different times by two different iPads, that when we switched levels from channels 1-8 to 9-16 or back and forth anyway, we had a large pop in the sound system that was very loud. I had on my "ears" with the P16-M while playing the keyboard and it really hurt.
Anybody else experience this issue? It appears it is the XiControl though I wouldn't know why it would have any effect this way, but we did have this issue. We have the latest version 1.1.1

Hi All,

I have found that when linking two channels they automatically hard pan left-right. On un-link, however, they stay panned. I think it would be best to return to a center position on both channels. This would seem to be a rather easy software fix. Otherwise, this is one great mixer!

Does support X32 USB port the new wireless microphones from behringer ULM2000USB?

Just a couple of feature requests
A bigger cue stack in live theatre 100 cues is not even 1/2 of a show
The ability to just select mutes to record when saving a scene

A quick access to the "other half" of inputs. If you are on inputs 1-16 and you double tap a channel select button, it would blink and you would have access to the channel underneath. IE if you were to double tap on channel 1 it would then flip to channel 17 to make adjustments while the rest of the channels would remain on 1-16. Conversely, if on 17-32 and double tap on 17 you would have access to 1 while the rest of the channels remained 17-32.

An example, instruments on 1-16 and vocals and horns on 17-32. You have a guitar solo (instruments on 1-16) coming up out of the verse (lead vocal on 17-32), followed by a horn solo (inputs 17-32). Right now you do not have access to the channels other than quickly flipping back an forth between channel layers. With quick access you could stay on 17-32 and double tap on guitar channel so it would be ready to fade up out of the vocal. Then you would be able to fade guitar down while bring up the horn solo.

I worked around that with putting the not-so-often to be adjusted instruments to the 2nd layer. Remember that you can assign input 17 to any channel 1-16 on the first layer. In my case toms are always on the 2nd layer, vca driven if needed.

As an example with a previously mixed band
Channels on X32: 1 kick, 2 snare, 3,4 overheads, 5 baseguitar, 6 git1, 7 git2, 8 sax, 9 trp, 10 trb, 11+12 keys, 13-16 vocals , 17-20 toms.

VCA: 1 Drums+Baseguitar, 2 Toms, 3 git+keys, 4 brass, 5 vocal FX on Mix 13(dual Fx with reverb and delay, mix adjusted on assignable knob), 6 Drum FX on Mix 14, 7 Brass FX on Mix 15 (same FX type as on vocals), 8 Solo FX on Mix 16

Talents' monitors: 1 front left, 2 front center, 3 front right, 4 drumfill, 5+6 brass with panning as the artists appeared on stage from left to rigt.

That worked smooth for both me and the band of 9 musicians.

One thing that's _absolutely_ _needed_ by those of use using the X32 as a recording interface in the capability to route signals (via firewire or usb interface) POST processing. It seems that the 32 channels that can be sent to the computer are dry and cannot be routed pre or post processing. At the moment, the X32 is just a Preamp and A to D converter only. It could be so much more.

Totally! What I am missing as well and really hoping to see that in the 1.10 firmware update.
