Thank you very much for this helpful video. Instead of clicking each channel one by one, X-Air-Edit provides buttons on the In/Out > USB Returns page to set all channels to A/D [Off (Analog)] or USB [Chn 1-16] at once.

I was waiting also
I started out with an XR18, then i switched to an X32 full board & followed your 2 videos for using Reaper as my DAW
With my X32, its working flawlessly, but if i ever break out my XR18, these are the 2 videos i'll watch again
When i 1st started with my XR18, i used Alan Hamiltons tutorials for setting up Reaper as my DAW, worked flawlessly also, but its been awhile since ive used my XR18 cause im now on an X32, but im very happy to be a subscriber of your channel Drew, your very good at what you do
THANK YOU 😊

Hey Drew, I was doing a virtual soundcheck with my x32 the other day. Not sure if I have a problem, but wanted to check with you, as you are the Guru!!! Had all my inputs with the gains set in the -18 range, tapped pre-fader. My issue, (maybe)is that all my Mix Busses seem to be wanting to clip, or are very close to clipping. Am I doing something wrong, or are the x32 preamps really strong? Is there a Mix Bus setting that I might have missed? Would appreciate any suggestions you might have to offer, Thanks!!

Hello ing, I don't know if you can help me with this problem I have :(. What happens is that when I connect my everything but the problem is that when I send a virtual signal from Reaper to the console it only plays for about 3 seconds and the console stops receiving a signal but in Reaper it continues playing. The truth is I'm just getting into this world of digital and thanks to you I've learned a lot things :) and let's see if you can help me with this little problem and I thank you for always teaching other people like me who are just entering this world of audio!! Thank you!!

How many channel interface does one need for multi-track?
It's sad they left off the aux 1/4 inch input jacks on the DL32 stagebox!!

Thanks Drew for walking through this! Great information. My band has done multi-track recording of live shows and I've brought in for virtual soundchecks and practicing my mixing. I noticed you did at a channel by channel level to switch to USB. I've always used the "Chn 1-16" button on the USB Returns page. I believe that's doing the same thing, correct? And then I just hit "Off (Analog)" once I'm done to flip all back to the analog inputs. One question I had was there any way to solo a channel and still get it through the main LR mix (not just the headphones)? If the band isn't available and I want to use a prior recorded live performance to dial in a channel and room, I've only been able to get the solo to work through the headphones. I'd only want the solo to work like this for a virtual soundcheck of course and not during Analog/live. but have never been able to figure that part out. Thanks!
