just wanted to say THANK YOU for the format and style of your teaching. showing across all platforms makes your channel unique and much easier to grasp.

[roychesnut]

Totally awesome and concise….Great delivery without repetitive dialogue. Look forward to more tutorials on the XR air18.

[davidlopez]

you have been the most helpful with this product than the other guys explaining this. Thank you so much

[DahBender]

Excellent! Thank you so much. You make it so easy to understand. I finally "got it"!

[paulhardy]

You didn’t say about the routing. I spent ages struggling to get bus 1 & 2 to receive mix from channels 3 & 4 until I went to the routing & scrolled to the right to find you can set aux on bus 1 & 2. Wahay! was I pleased!!

[djchamac]

Thank you sir. You are the best for explaining this perfectly.Take care and happy new years!

[roychesnut]

Such a concise presentation…I am new to xr Air 18 use and was wandering if you have a tutorial on how to set up my air 18 with my external router Netgear door band… Also connecting to a laptop and using my iPad as my walk around the venue, mixer… The Behringer guy kind of shows it, but never explains in detail how to get it activated and all synced… His explanation was to use a router for bigger venues and that the XR 18’s local Wil degenerate the more people come in with Cell Phone to a venue… Do you have such a video that can go step-by-step?

[elvaru]

the best video i've seen about this console, by far

[restigouche]

Well done, I've been using all three mixing platforms for a number of years and you've effectively addressed some long standing issues for me. I must admit I struggle with routing effects thru buses. Any thoughts you could share on that topic would be more than welcome.

[villaa]

Really broke it down, great job and thank you!

[MotownGuitarJoe]

Mind-blowing!!! I needed this information very much! Thank YOU!!!

[HermanVervaeke]

Thanks for explaining everything so clear !
It is clear to me that the signal that has to be sent to a bus monitor must be 'pre-fader' and not 'post'.
Is the choice befor that, 'post EQ' also a good choice? And what is the difference between 'post EQ' and 'pre fader'?

[johnnyrossmusic]

Great video! How do I send IEM monitors what the house mix is? Do I just keep the sends post fader?

[tdz]

Thank you. Sound guy for a band I play in is getting the xr18. I want to be able to control my own in ears mix so couple questions. What app do I need to get to integrate with his and also…..am I able to ONLY control my own aux mix? I don’t want access to anything else and risk screwing jt uo. lol. I assume he will control the access and what everyone can and can’t do? Thanks

[starwarzdavid]

Hi, noob question hope your still able to answer. Is there away to stereolink both bus one and two with the main left and right? Hope that makes sense basically what I want is for bus one and two to act like another set of main left and rights. Might be easy to explain setup. DJ board to mixer. Mixer to two separate speaker setups. (Same setups) Different rooms.

I have enjoyed several of your videos for the XR18. In reference to this video "How to set up & use aux sends", one thing you didn't mention was setting the gain via the monitor mix and the proper level. I have heard that -18 is the recommended level to start at. I understand that digital mixers are full scale and don't set to unity as on analog mixers. What meter does one use to find the proper level? Is it the meter under the Bus/Aux fader? I am using a iPad for both the XR18 and XR16 mixers I am involved with. Thank you for your help. P.S. I couldn't find your name anywhere on this video.

Good day James! I have a MIXER 101 question for you. I am working with a 5 piece band, Rock/Country, that has a XR16 mixer with XAir. The bass guitar is connected from a preamp to the mixer channel (16). I have noticed when I have the fader completely down I am still getting some sound out of the FOH speakers. If I press the mute button, it does mute. I have checked the Sends and alternated them from PreEQ, PostEQ, Pre, and Post. Still getting sound from the bass guitar. What am I overlooking? Thank you.

[lyndonjedwards]

Thanks for your video. I have noticed my main L and R is affected by any fader changes in the bus tab on xr12 using edit in PC. I did change sends to pre fader and AUX out in the IN OUT tab to pre fader also but still volume on main L R increases or decreases when using BUS 1 fader through sends in fader or when main mix is on and using fader in the top sends tab.

[chrisc]

James, I could not eliminate the bass guitar from going out of the FOH speakers. I looked to see if we had an FX insert assigned to the channel. Honestly, I could not tell. The icon in upper left corner of the insert was white. From what I have seen in other videos, that is off for the insert. I need to check the other three effects and make sure they are off as well, if white icon is correct. We have rehearsal again Monday. I will keep at it. Plus, the bass player is bringing his cabinet preamp and we are going to plug that in to see if that eliminates it in the FOH.

Is there a way to get individual channel compression in the auxes? Whenever I listen to an aux, I don’t hear any of the individual channel compression for each instrument like I do when I listen from the main mix or headphone out. I’m trying to send a mono summed mix to a remote set of speakers, as well as a mono summed mix to a single PA speaker and it seems like the instruments (channels) of those mix are unprocessed, except for overall compression and eq available on the aux buses. It seems I only get channel compression on the main LR outputs. What am I doing wrong? Also, I’m worried that I may be using stereo effects and therefore only getting ‘half’ on those mono outputs, or ‘half’ of the effect when I was only using one side of the LR as a mono output.
