Thank you for getting to the point and doing it well. There are so many videos out there that are bloated and would only be half the length if the presenter actually got to the point..
Thanks again!

shoutout Daniel for consistently making the most helpful and straightforward videos!

[carlosmayorca]

Great video! I appreciate you explaining this in a way that's really simple to understand! Amazing job!

[chriswhite]

Really appreciate your videos. The most understandable videos. The other videos always confuse me. You have a way of making it simple

[lucaKaly]

clear and easy to follow!! Great job!

[matthewmixes]

Great video. Switching from Tracks Live to Reaper here and this was super helpful. Keep it up!

[TimKaseyMythHealer]

Excellent job! I recorded a mini video of this on my phone to take with me to my gig. I got it working about a week ago, and it stopped working at the second show, and now I need to get it working again. I will be referencing your video for a quick refresher.

This was a very clear, helpful video. Thanks.

Daniel thank you for your help on this

I would like to know the routing using Reaper for record mode as follows. Record X# multi-tracks into DAW, monitor the 2 track master during the tracking phase. Also for play mode for "in the box" mixing 2 track master to studio monitors. Thanks in advance!

[vaqiftahmazov]

thank you bro such excellent videos.My asking make video commonly how do you set eq and compressor

[RogerWellsMinistries]

Do you use x live, and Waves supperrack performer? I would love to see how you would do a virtual sound check to be able to adjust your plugins.
The best I have come up with is to use reaper, make the wanted adjustments in superrack, then save as preset, and when you go back to live just add the presets to your racks. Would love to see your fix for this. Thanks

If you have an X/M32 and are only using 16 channels, you can route 1-16 locally or on AES (if thats what you’re using), and then have inputs 17-32 be routed on the Card’s. That way, you dont have to manually press to switch between recording and playing! 1-16 to record, 17-32 to playback!

Perfectly explained! I followed your tutorial step by step. However, I am using a macbook, I have my audio device set to x-usb and not getting any signal in the track. A friend of mine followed the exact same steps and it works on his computer. Does anyone have the same problem or any ideas what could have gone wrong on mine? Thanks a lot!

Can you do a video for the behringer xr18 about that?

[ReddenDoom]

FANTASTIC video. Echoing another's question - how do I return a stereo feed from the computer into the console instead of all 32 channels? Using for streaming.

[DavidMacSix]

Great video! What's the reason from deselecting the line of master outputs on the far left of the matrix?

[gsvisualeditsbygebsolonia]

Hello! How do i disable the playback option ? if i want to multi track record only in DAW ?

[paulsignaturesound]

You're a legend Daniel but did I spot a little error on this one.... @3:44 you selected dn32-usb1 but you selected it on "master output". As I understand you meant to select it on channel 1 and then 2 3 4 5 6 etc.... Please correct me if im wrong and once again thanks for all your amazing help.
