X32/M32 MultiTrack Recording AND Virtual Soundcheck | Tracks Live

The best way to practice as a sound technician requires some live recorded tracks. In this video I cover how to record your band rehearsal and then run the tracks back through your console to practice and refine your mix/stream.

*** NOTE ***
Please make sure you save your scene on the console BEFORE you update firmware. Your current settings per channel will be cleared. You can reload your scene after update, but make sure to save your scene before updating.

Brother this was truly a blessing. We literally are able to multitrack out live now thanks to this amazing instructional. The software was a true blessing as well. We truly thank God for you recording this and hope this gets to you! God bless you my brother

I've been using Tracks Live in X32 for over two years, it's made such a difference to my mixing, and overall familiarity with the console. Anyone I talk to using a X32/M32, read my lips, get Tracks Live going.. It's easy to use and such a brilliant way to improve your craft.

Thank you so much Allam House! I've looked everywhere for more clarity on this and found little to nothing that had helped...until your video. Just the walk-thru has tremendously helped me and my production team for my church!

[rasgrace]

Give thanks Allam House. I never knew about tracks live until today when I was searching for videos about live streaming using the X32. I have registered onto the Waves forum, downloaded the software and I am surely gonna try it out. In our band we have the X32 rack and we surely gonna try this out. Thanks a great deal for the video.

The note about the preamp being the only thing that the signal hits before it goes into the DAW is very helpful. This further validates that I've been doing my gain staging incorrectly.

[SimpleRanch]

You rock! Thanks bro. I love coming to your channel and you answering my questions with simplicity.

[benediktstromer]

Thank you for the great video and also thanks for still answering every individual question in the comment section. You really helped out so many sound guys!

[BoHunter]

Thank you! I have been frustrated trying to accomplish this very thing. I am using Traction 7 for my DAW and the best I could do was get the DAW mix to play back on 2 channels on the X32. The REC / PLAY feature and the Input settings (along with a tweak in Tracktion) is what will do the trick.
As you were talking about the Play / Rec option, I was already thinking that I would forget about it and not have any sound for practice on Sunday morning!! Great callout.
Thanks again!

Thank you Allam! I am now using Reaper to record all 32 channel with my M32R console. It works well! My question, some of the track has really low level audio input, my question...if I increase the gain knob (on the console), will it affect to the level chanel on the console (will make the overall level on LR output increase as well). Can I set it separately?

We have no congregation, so I use the Main LR on MIDAS connected to Video Mixer for streaming.

Hello good video I have a question istale the track live I put a scene and play but when I want to record there is no signal on the mac and it does not record anything if you could help me thanks

[refuge.churchfortmyers]

Awesome Video.. Tanks for doing these videos.... Anyways my questions is i am able to record and play back... when i play back the Main fader does nothing... also i am noticing that it is not going to any of the Busses i have set up... am i doing something wrong.. not sure where to look. thanks for everything

[DavidMend]

Allam, thank you so much for making this video.. I took a look at the user setting but was not able to determine how you routed the Main L & R signals to the Card Out. Would it be possible to show the exact steps you took for this routing. Thanks in advance

[thethLeVel]

How do I overdub vocals with this set up?

[Ztiredeul]

Thanks a lot for the informative video!
Ist there also a way of recording a session including all the eq and compression etc. and also the x32 - fx?
That would be great!
Thank you.
Regards
Matthias

Thanks for your efforts to put this together and detail how to set it up. I do have a question I do have one question I hope you can help me with. In your demo, you mention using 4.0 firmware. We have an X32 with 4.0.2 installed on the board. When I look at the routing menus, there is no play or record option like you demonstrated. Do you had any input on what we may be experiencing?

[antoniocarlosribeironeto]

Hello Allan, tks for the video. But, I dont know why, does not work. I did exactly step by step. In the 9:13 min video, when you delete and start with you micropone, I did exactly the same and I don't have signal on track. I could hear a click and your channel 32 works. On my case, nothing happened. I was using my wireless plugged on digital snaker. could you help me? If you prefere talk private, I can send my phone number. my meters on the board is okay, in the screen the program no.

[OmarRosalesELMORRILLO]

Great !, is “punch in” posible in the daw let’s say if one of the musicians wants to fix something in real time if we are doing a live recording?

[NoteKeys]

Great video. Question though. I've recorded a rehearsal using Traktion Waveform, but on playback, some channels are extremely loud and others are extremely quiet. All levels on the DAW were left at unity gain. What could be the problem?

[tonylancer]

So I have a question regarding this type of setup. I want to run two DAWs (Ableton running loops and Logic for recording Logic Pro and doing vocal tuning). Yes, I shouldn't do it, *BUT* it's a proof of concept that I've been pondering about for a while. All inputs are local, but Logic returns back the tuned vocals for the audience/house, loops/stems/backing tracks run into the house but are also recorded into Logic. I've been fiddling with the routing settings on the X32 and I can't nail it, I know it's possible, just don't know how. It would be easier on the Mac because I can use something like SoundFlower/BlackHole and route between them, but again it's not so clear.

Do you have any tips? 😅
