Andrew, I wish I found this video before. About nine minutes in, all the questions I've had for almost a year were cleared. Thank you so much.

This is hands down the most comprehensive overview I've seen on the Xair app on Android platform. You may have done this already and i will look. Ive had problems understanding the effect assignment and implementation. Basically making the effects work.

As I was following through this video Jon Dufour, which by the way is a very fine walk through, I noticed that on my app it doesn't have Bus 1/Bus 2, just the selected source from the button below Sends on Fader (Snd->Fader). So it would seem I have an updated version of the software.

The only minor critique Andrew I would have about this (and any other training video) is when you are going to a new selection, please show the button you chose to get to that area. As opposed to doing a video cut and magically you are at the next section. For example at 11:12 I missed you explaining what you were going to talk about, so I didn't catch that you were going through the controls at the top. Hence, I had no idea where you were.

That said, you did a FANTASTIC job of marking everything with the pen when you are talking about them. Best video I've seen by far talking about devices. Very clear and well explained. Well done and thank you so much for putting this together.

To change FX just press and hold the hall reverb ( or anyother fx ) shown. This was very helpful. thank you so much

I have just unwrapped my X Air and I was worried that I might have taken on too much. However, this video was perfect fantastic and explained everything and I am even more excited about getting the band together. Brilliant and thanks so much....:-)

Thank you for the time and effort to do this video. Very much appreciated. I hope you will do more, especially with the Android App.

Do you have any tutorials about the next step in using this app?? Like setting up a simple channel? I have a mic plugged into channel one. I have adjusted the volume to zero on both the channel and L/R Mix and set the gain set to about 25%, and yet I am not getting anything coming out of my speakers. I just have one main out to a power amp and a chord from the amp to the speaker cab, which I know works as it's one of my monitors I use for a gig. All cables are the ones I use for gigs. I am using a Samsung tablet and I am connected to the mixer console via the built in wifi.

Thanks Andrew, just getting familiar before I get the kit, digi is definitely the way to go.

Hi, The bus master purpose is to adjust the combined level of all incoming signal so it won't overload. Let say you have many microphones sending to an FX so the send to the effect distort. You can lower the sum for a proper level.

Great video very informative I just wish you used a light green color for the pen

Hi Andrew, this the mix sytem our church use. However, I'm having a hard time to produce the output my multi-effects produces from my guitar. Reverb Overdrive or whatever effects I've been stepping, it doesn't comes out naturally. I'm lost what to do. Any suggestions? I'm connected as what they labeled Instrument 1 from the app.

Brilliant, u finally snowed me how to use these buses in android could do it on iPad but didn't have a clue on android big thank you, sandy

[clwnbird]

Is there an explanation for the two dropdown selections above the Save button on each FX rack? I know you can assign them both to channels, buses, but is there an association between the two? 13:46

[matteosalvestrini]

Great video! Very clear and useful

I have a question (hope to be not too late since the video is old): it's possible to have a different PAN of a track regarding busses?
Let me explain with an example:
Ch 1 Bass Guitar
Bus 1 Bass Player mMmonitor
Bus 2 Guitar Player Monitor

Let's assume that Bass Player wants Bass centered in his personal mix and Guitar Player wants bass more on left side but we want that bass guitar is centered in main mix.
Can I set this configuration WITHOUT affect the main mix?
I thougt I could in BUS layer but as soon as I depress Sbd->Fader the PAN control is disabled.

Thanks a lot

Should have picked a different pen colour. Can hardly see the annotations.

[mrwasso]

the Bus master button is there so you can control more than just the sliders, it's there for making adjustments to other things like EQ, where you can eliminate feed back and other things through lets say the 100 band eq...

[consmanaois]

Thank you for doing this sir. Godbless you and Happy new year!

[tunedu]

What an excellent explanation !! I now understand better for the android. Many thanks!!

[iowancalvin]

Great video, Andrew!


Do you have a video that explains how to adjust the bass levels?


We had a guy come into our church and set up our system. Yet didn't explain the X Air App very well.


I assume it's in the EQ but everything is labeled as gain.

Great info, concise and incredibly useful. Thank you for making this video.
