An Overview of the Routing Screen on the X32 and M32

This is an overview of the different tabs on the Routing Screen of the X32 and M32 console platforms. There is a lot of versatility offered once you upgrade to firmware version 4.0 or newer.

==========
Here are some videos that cover some of the more specific routing options that people use when they get into these settings.

Hi @AllamHouse. Thanks for your many helpful videos. There one other thing relating to routing that I have discovered.
On the ROUTING/INPUT page, bottom right are settings for RECORD and PLAY. These relate to settings for the DN32-Live card. On SETUP/CARD/page 2 there are settings for CHANNEL ROUTING and PLAYBACK CONFIG. These settings allow separate INPUT routing for when you are 'Recording' - i.e. taking inputs from local or stagebox inputs and 'Playback', when you are playing back a recording (e.g. Virtual Soundcheck) from either a SD Card or via USB from a DAW.
CHANNEL ROUTING can be set to RECORDING, PLAYBACK or AUTOMATIC. Automatic seems to be activated when recording to or playing back from a SD Card and it is meant to automatically select 'Playback' when the SD Card recorder is playing back and revert to 'Recording' when the SD Card recorder is stopped.
I have found that if this set to AUTOMATIC, it sometimes 'forgets' that you're not playing back a SD Card recording and stays on 'PLAYBACK' and this results in the entire desk receiving no inputs from the Local or Stagebox inputs! Scary if you aren't aware!
Next to it, the setting for PLAYBACK CONFIG - SD Recorder or USB Interface - can also cause unexpected results if CHANNEL ROUTING is set to AUTOMATIC.
My work around is to set up a Snippet for 'Live Mixing' which sets the CHANNEL ROUTING to 'Recording' - the channels that are sent to the SD Card and USB for recording are identical (set in Routing/Card). Then I have another snippet for 'Virtual Soundcheck' which sets CHANNEL ROUTING to 'Playback' and sets PLAYBACK CONFIG as SD Card or USB as the source.
I then change from Live Mixing to Virtual Soundcheck using SHOW CONTROL/Snippets.
Thanks again, regards, Ken

Hi Allamhouse thanks for your video. Can I ask a quick question re the M32.

In short: how can I route a local Aux input to an output of the DN32 to track in my Sampler/DAW via USB?

I have an Akia one sampler connected to the DN32 so I can send 32 channels out from the sampler to mix on the desk, this works, the problem is I need to sample from a record player which comes in to the desk at the aux input, but I cant find a way to send the aux signal back out to any of the DN32 outputs which are connected to my samplers digital inputs via USB.

Have you done any videos on routing out to AES stage boxes? We have a monitor that we want to send to that is connected to a SD16 output but can't figure out the routing for AES outs.

[KenMcCown]

So say I have a s32 digital stage box and I want mix bus 1 to go out to the output 1 on that stage box. But I have my Main L/R going out local output 1 on the console. Is this possible or does local output 1 take up one of my remote output spots on the snake?

[CharlesIhloff]

Could you help me configure the correct routing from the x32 to the s16, the exact settings for a L/R and aux sub? Can't find anything related to this. Thx

My question is I tried to connect a mic in the back of the console and I’m getting no signal. I only get signal if I plug in mic to my stage box abs

Hello, my direct outs under the P16 are not matching. On channel 7 for the P16 I want bass, but it’s showing on 15. The direct out is channel 18 on the mixer. I am using the x32 compact with a s32.

[christophermullis]

If I have a dl32 on stage running master out to how /can I keep using the same master out on the console as well. I am having issues wrapping my head around the router setup

[Archangelrey]

@AllamHouse Thank you for your channel, it has been helpful putting together 2 X32 and stage boxes in my church. I had one question. After installing the stage box, we start to experience crackling noise on the channel with the DAW return. Before the stage box, the signal from DAW return was clean and we didn't have this issue before with stage snake. Any thought on what could be the issue? Both our X32 have the same issue with the DAW return.

How would you just route one output from the output section. I’m using the AES A and B but I just want to connect a physical xlr cable to the output I just want to bypass one output. I know I have use the User section how would I configure that.

Hi Dave. On the Block Input page in the bottom RH corner there is the INPUTS RECORD/PLAY option. What would I use this for?

[livemixpriyan]

Hi Dave,
i still did not understand what is there "Recording" and "Play" on Input Routing? Thank you

[johncegalis]

Hello Dave, we got the M32 last year for our church and I couldn't have got it up and running without your videos. Thank you. Question, the routing still somewhat eludes me. I have it protected in all scenes (I think, boxes are checked). Could I copy our praise team scene to a blank scene that I can tinker with, then uncheck everything in the Scene Safes for that scene only, will that allow me to experiment and change routing and anything else without it affecting any other scene routing. Videos are great but experimenting and messing up and fixing without affecting the service scenes are much more helpful. I've already experimented 10 minutes before practice, just before the service, and lost all sound and that really puts the fear into a person.

Hi @AllamHouse can you show me how to patch user output for AES50
is it the same on input user? can you do one for one ? lets say output 1 from aes50 and the next output is from local. how is the patching on User output

[TeamZulueta]

Hi @AllamHouse. Very helpful videos for me to setup our x32 producer edition. Just a question that I have been trying to figure out. How would you route vocals that are on Local 1-3, send them to the daw and put autotune then send it back out to the mixer to your left and right? I really could not figure this out. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!

[chuckgreene]

Thanks for the info and all the videos that you guys do. We just purchased two S16 stage boxes and set them up and they seem to be working fine, how ever when I change scenes I don't have all the routing settings on my other scenes. Is there a way to globally save these ?

Looking for help on EQing the plosives out of a vocal mic
