I am looking for a way to interface with Thunderbolt 3 from UAD Luna recording software running on Mac Mini and stack of UAD hardware (2 Apollo x8p and 1 MKII) from Midas M32R. The objective is doing live recording using Luna and using UAD plug-ins for live performance. 

Would greatly appreciate any pointers for this set-up. Due to the distance of the set-up of two stations (M32R and UAD equipment are not co-located), the long ADAT run is not feasible (more than 15'). 

Thanks!

Can we just upload .SCN files randomly or do we need to start a new post to upload a file?

I tried to post from the "Files" area. FAIL —Wouldn't let me fill in the required catagory boxes.

I like the text editor when we start a new post. Why can't we have it when we reply? And why can't we reply with an upload? Sorry to complain again, but it's vital to upload X/M32 and X/M-Air files (in a reply) to help the users of digital mixers. It's been missing for over 3 month now and the number of Digital mixer users has plummeted in that time. Where are they getting help? The hostile Facebook group?

I've attached a (mostly) "Zeroed" .SCN file for test purposes.

Hi,

Our church bought 2 Midas M32 mixers and our implementer has connected it all in.  In each location, it just so happened that I would prefer the board come up on Inputs 17-32 rather than 1-16.  I have not been able to save this as a preference for power-up.  Is this possible?  If not can it be a feature request?

Just picked up an M32 and its been a learning curve.  My previous interface was a Mackie 1640i (16 channel).  I occasionally record bands in my home studio and needed additional preamps (yes more than 16).  Plus the additional options for monitor sends to musicians is a blessing.   So the Midas hit the spot.  I was hoping there was an option to tap the USB signal after the low cuts, comp., eq, etc.. of each of the 32 preamps. But that is not possible :(  .   But I found a way to somewhat do it.  But with that option, 16 channels is the limit.  Which is what I could do with the Mackie.   My question is and maybe Im way off base.  But could the X32 and M32 be programmed (bios/os) as a stand alone "Studio Console" ?   Option to tap all 32 channels after the eq section.  The Mackie 1640i had a button on each channel strip to tap before or after eq.  Maybe Music Tribe needs to do a couple Bios settings.  One for "FOH" work and a strictly "Studio" system.  Yes I know one can send all 32 channels back into the mixer and then record a stereo mix.  But I want to use the M32/X32 eq sections during the recording.  Are there any "Mods" out there ?  Just want all 32 card signals to be after the eq's.  Maybe a new bios version to add that option ?  Thanks.

Hello all.

Working to enhance a live-webcast application in our church. Our setup is:

Sanctuary:
   M32 with all sources connected to LocalIn1-32 & AuxIn1-5
   Plans for addition of DL16 connected via AES50 to this console for stage flexibility
   All house PA and IEM monitors run from this console

Webcast Room
   M32R with no local inputs or outputs
   Output to WebCast Mac via ch1-2 of USB mapped from L-R
   ***imminent future*** replace M32R with M32C

AES50 connex:
   M32[A] <> [B]M32R
   ***imminent future** DL16[A] <> [B]M32[A] <> [B]M32R

(Sanctuary) M32 AES50 patch
   AuxIn 1-6/T >> AES50[A] 1-8
   UserIn 1-32 >> AES50[A] 9-40
   LocalIn 1-32 >> UserIn 1-32 (for future selectivity of DL16 inputs)

(Webcast) M32R Input Patch
   AES50[B] 1-6 >> AuxIn 1-6
   AES50[B] 9-40 >> Channel 1-32

(Thanks Rex and Paul for their previous help in making this work.)

Hopefully all that makes sense. I really DID NOT want to paste 10 screenshots to create a 1.5m long post. ;-)

Now my questions.

1. We have (Sanctuary) M32 TalkBack [A] mapped to all IEM monitors buses in that same console.  Is there a way to get (WebCast) M32R talkback to M32_TB[A] or these same M32 buses so the WebCast tech can communicate with the stage talent?  For clarity, we need to retain the ability for the (Sanctuary) M32 tech to TB to the IEM buses.

2. What is the purpose of the PreAmps screen in M32_Edit/Setup?  Looking at both the M32 and M32R screens they appear to be exactly the same.  I thought the HA gains were set in M32 and that M32R had no control of HA gain.  What am I missing regarding /Setup/Preamps?

3. On the same M32_Edit/Setup/Preamps screen, what is
    Global_Options-Lock_Stagebox ?
    Global_Options-HA_Gain_Split ?
    HA_Remote-AES5-_Port_A or Port_B ?
and how will these options function differently on the (Sanctuary) M32 vs the (Webcast) M32R?

4. Of the settings selected in M32_Edit/Setup, which become part of a scene file created from that console?
    \Connection ?
    \Mixer ?
    \GUI Prefs ?
    \Midi Control ?
    \Preamps ?
    \Card ?

5. Of the settings selected in M32_Edit/Routing, which become part of a scene file created from that console?
    \Inputs ?
    \AES50 ?
    \Card ?
    \XLR ?
    \Out 1-16 ?
    \Aux Out ?
    \Ultranet ?
    \IQ Setup ?
    \User In ?
    \User Out ?

Sorry for the marathon post. Thanx in advance for your sage assistance.
