Once again Mr Hamilton does a GREAT job in explaining the XR-18 mixer. Thank you SO much for these videos.

[BriansekulaCLE]

Allan’s videos are descriptive and easy to follow, I personally think they’re the best on YouTube… Thanks Alan

[geraldwatkins]

Thank you for going so in depth in your videos. I got mine 3 or 4 years ago. I'm now using so many more features because of your videos. Thanks

I wanted to put together a list of FAQ's for the XR18/MR18 to put these into one place, and link to longer videos if someone wants to know more on one of the questions. I narrowed it down to 5 that seemed to me to be the ones that pop up the most on Facebook and other forums. If there's interest, I might do a series of these over time... like "Five 'MORE' Frequently Asked Questions....". While 5 thru 2 could be debatable as to their rankings, I don't think there can be any doubt about the #1 question. I don't think it's an issue I've mentioned enough on the channel considering its importance, and the amount of times it comes up.
Three of the FAQ's I've done full-featured videos on, so if the highlighted answer here isn't enough, make sure and check out the other links for a more indepth answer on those topics.

Your vids are really a GODSEND! If Behringer hasn’t sponsored/signed you yet, they really need to! Light years above all other vids on these products! Mahalos!!!🤙🏽🏝😎

[seanwalsh]

Odbfs = bucket full, nice one. Here is another suggestion for a topic. Addictive drums has the ability to split its kit pieces into separate DAW tracks for external digital mixer control of each track volume, however what is the latency involved when using with an edrum kit, and how to lower it. Thanks for your detailed and concise explanations.

[dwaynearthur]

FINALLY A proper explanation ! Why didn't Behringer fix the labeling on the FX Section when they do their updates ? This can cause a lot of confusion when reading the interface .

[GoodVibeTribe]

Your videos are fantastic! Thanks so much!

[gbradymediany]

Dude your style ricks. Way to explain things! Thank you.

[vckjqsl]

Thank you Alan, number 4 issue was giving me so much grief until you directed me to this video.

[Danny_Zak]

Amazing work! I work love to see your process of a Full Soundcheck/multitrack recording of a 5 piece band with the XR18 - that would be awesome!

[mattshipman]

Great stuff! Can you do a video on how to eq monitors separately from mains with iPad? Thank you!

[EddyVillar]

Hey Alen, Great video!
In the future can you explain how to setup a linked stereo bus mix using the aux outputs?

[ayujombloayujm]

I don't understand the aux fader on the xr12 mixer, please review in detail. thanks bro.

[chrisc]

Alan!! Really! You must invest in an iPad and do videos using it as it is SO much different than using a laptop. And your videos are VERY informative. And I love your voice. Thank you for what you do.

[MyLivingRoomLive]

Love your videos!! Our biggest question is where to get a MIDI pedal/footswitch that can be used to turn on/off the FX?

[michaelstacey]

How a video on setup for reamping a guitar daw signal?

[jonathanchartrand]

It's beyond me why no one talks about a footswitch to switch effects on and off during a live gig. If anyone has just a device, I would be glad to hear about it.

[mcsstudiosunderdevelopment]

Hey :) I'm going to be mixing my school's live concert and want to record it to cubase without the effects (reverb) going to the the DAW if I can avoid it...is there a way to do this at all?

If not, would I be better off being a little more conservative with the effect sends etc to reduce problems when mastering the mix before publishing it?

I believe I can record as I hear the main mix in live which is kinda cool!

PS: AWESOME VIDEO TUTORIALS!!

[ryanchristophernunes]

If I have speakers connected to my XR 18 (Main LR out) and headphones connected in the headphone output, is there a way that I can meet the speakers when I am using the headphones?
