Upgrading from my Behringer XR 16

Показать описание

Hey everyone, so...I did a thing.
Yep, I spent money (I don't have) upgrading from my Behringer XR16 to TWO Soundcraft UI24R mixers.

If you are interested in picking up one of these mixers yourself, here's the link:

If you're interested in picking up a really robust network cable, here's the one I'm testing in this video.

Here is the HTML code to copy/paste.
Make sure you change the IP addresses in the code to match the IP addresses of your two mixers.
Put this into a notepad (windows) or textedit (mac) and save it with the .html extension. Make sure you select "all file types" when you are saving it otherwise your computer will append the .txt file type to the end of the name and it won't work.
Then, just open the new html file you made and it will open the double interface.

I have been using my UI24 for about a year now without any major problems, having joined a few Facebook groups I soon realised that the internal hotspot is not at all reliable especially when running on 2.4 gHz - 5.0gHz mode is better but an external router is the way to go to eliminate connection problems between your UI and your Ipad. I installed a 60mm Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX fan into the unit and this certainly improves airflow to keep it cooler.

The form factor is still one of my favourite things about my XR18 (no rack to find space for when playing in small places), but I did really like the idea with the Soundcraft that you could multitrack record a live event with no other device, straight to the USB stick! That's a great facility.

Oh Dude the HDMI and Mouse feature totally blew me away. Im keeping my X32r but Im watching... Im watching

A coworker has one of these. It does seem to be more sensitive to heat than he would like (yes he has a butt load of fans in the rack). A couple times it has reset during a show. It's not catastrophic, but scary. He uses the hell out of it. Often they will play three or four shows a week.
That aside, he likes it, and I've messed around with it a few times. The modeling is fun.

Ive thought about moving from xr/mr18 to this soundcraft offering, especially since you could cascade 2 together for more inputs but monitoring via ultranet is still the win for me. Lol. Monitoring multiple ways has been a bigger issue than more inputs in a few of my setups.

I do like the approach soundcraft has taken on this mixer. The browser based mixing interface is priceless.

I literally returned my XR18 yesterday thinking of getting the MR18, instead I got the Soundcraft!! Amazing features

sergenaberman

Great video! Thanks. I do recommend using a powered usb hub for your usb stick. The port only provides 40ma

Studiodebovenkamer

That interface is kind of cool though!

I've seen you also have an ATEM switcher... I wonder what audio the Ui24R is putting out on HDMI, if I fed it into the ATEM ISO? This would be a great way to time-sync & record multi-cam ATEM ISOrecordings with a Ui24R multichannel recording, syncing them in post via the eg. HDMI/stereoMaster output channel also recorded in the ATEM ISO... you see where I'm going? :) do you hear anything via HDMI on a monitor with speakers?

I use a strong outdoor wifi ap that reaches about 300ft. if I have it high enough in the air, the crowds don't fully eat my signal. I use an MS Surface Pro (an i7 model with fans) and can use the "Big Display" mode, which gives you a second layer of faders and control. Less flipping around on the screen. The blue section on the left gives you more controls there, too. Likewise, instead of running the HDMI straight out (which I still keep available in case of any wifi failure), I have a small chrome stick connected to my touch screen, so I can use big display mode on the display by the ui24r. Note for those purchasing: the built-in hdmi won't run higher than 720p, so you can't use the Big Display mode on the built-in port. Made me sad. Must be on 1080p for the option to work.

Hey! How are the machines going? I see a lot of problems with them, interested to know have you had anything go wrong with yours since you got them? Thanks!

paddyeire

Have an M32C/DL16 combo showing up tomorrow.. with an addtl DL16 planned in the future.

Sure wish I'd stumbled on this sooner, you offer good food for thought.

Does cascading allow you to double the number of AUX outputs?

ShawnHolderfield

the Behringer is a much better board in my opinion.

Tipperjoxford

Is the one in the control room just going to be running the monitors and a talkback microphone because you can also connect to the same router and use that without having to buy another mixer

tobycraft

Hello, thank you for the review. I am not sure, maybe you have mentioned ... but how many tracks - inputs ..you can mix at the same time? It is 24+24 = 48 ? Because there is information from Soundcraft that cascade means 32x32 ??. Also.. how many track you can record directly on USB stick if you have 2 units? Probably 2 x 22 on 2 USB stick? Or on 1 USB stick you can record 32 track? This simple informations are often very hidden in the manual, or demonstration. The sound of UI24R is better than Behringer? Thank you very much!

Hii
A router without a modem is capable with it?

cchordproduction

James, Great video, bit more than what I will be doing. Could have done without the music though. Your instruction and review is enough "background". :-)

chrisc

Interesting regarding the HDMI port cos I rang soundcraft tech support and they said it had been disabled because of resource limitations. All the units I have the HDMI doesn't work. How does yours?
