Hi,

This morning we noticed during a live event that adjusting on our X32 that our faders for channels (sends on faders off) that the levels were not changing the output levels on L/R, and then we noticed that muting mix1 and mix2 would mute would also mute what was going to the main L/R, which is supposed to be outputs 15 and 16. I can't see anything wrong in the routing. 

I've attached the scene file. This system is maintained by some middle school A/V students so it's possible they messed something u when configuring mix 1 and mix 2, which we want to go out via USB to our live stream system. That seems to work. 

Hello,

We have a Behringer X32 being used for a church.  It is attached to a snake (SD16).  The stage monitor is  hooked up to a SD16 (using output 1 on the snake).  Mixbus 1 has been set to send the monitor to the output on the snake.  12 Microphones go to Mixbus 1.  

A few weeks ago, the monitors stopped working.  We have tried setting up the routing table as per the instructions in the manual, have checked the network cable (it works) .. in fact, we've checked all the cables.  The inputs on the snake work: the drum microphones go through the inputs on the snake as well as 1 wired microphone, and I can hear the drums through the mains mix and see the individual levels for all mics working.  The rest of the microphones do not hook up to the snake - rather, they are plugged in directly to the X32 microphone inputs.  

Right before the monitors stopped working, there were reports of popping/crackling noises coming over the mains output.  I've checked the network cable and in fact, replaced it with a new Cat 5 cable.  

I've attached the routing table for the input and the AES A output.   Many questions are on my mind, but the simplest would be: is the routing table correct.  Would there be any way to test the hardware, as the possibility is that the snake may have problems with its hardware.  

What other things should I be doing here in terms of trying to troubleshoot this machine?  Any advice would be gratefully received!

Regards,

Chris Engel

I am relatively new user of the digital mixer.  I have most things set up well but can only get sound to come out the phone output, nothing from the mains or the bus.  I have watched videos and learned quite a few things but none of them have solved this problem.  THis is for a small chruch setup that has a couple microphones and a few instruments.  I have save a scene and attached to this.  If anyone has a suggestion or can see what i am missing (i am sure it is simple) please let me know.

Thanks!

Hello, new user trying to understand some basic signal flow through the XR18, I have attached a PDF with three screenshots showing faders and where I think they are on the block diagram if a more experienced user could take a look and see if I am on the right track that would be greatly appreciated. One additional question is where the green labeled FX returns tie in on the block diagram.  Thanks in advance.

Flow 8 seems to fill a weird nitch that seems pretty cool and so far I like it. The routing options are a little limited and hopefully a firmware update could add a minor thing (see below).

As an overgrown audio interface will fit a need for those that end up using software monitoring as now you can monitor in the mixer side the the interface (for "zero"* latency monitoring, *=it's digital so it has an ever slow slight A/D->D/A conversion).

The Android/iOS app is nice, perhaps somebody might work on a desktop version that connects via BlueTooth. (Android emulators are a thing, not sure how BT would be handled tho). -- I see it has MIDI interface could provide alternate ways for a desktop app to control it and saw some docs on the MIDI commands one can use with it.

The number one thing it should have (there is already another post about this) to have even more applications would be a gate function on the four mic inputs at least.

Setting up mix minus output can be done by routing the Mon1/2 to the USB Line 7/8 (or 5/6) via cables*, but having this as an option for routing in firmware would make that simpler. *=cables means potiential for feedback as channel 7/8 can be routed back to MON1/2 ... where as sending USB 7/8 from either Analog input (pre-fader) or from Mon1/2 output(pre/post fader) would make this simpler and easier to avoid.

There apparently is no way to solo an input from the control surface (must have Android/iOS App). I would suggest pressing [Main] (if not already selected) then tapping on the [Select/Adjust] encoder to toggle from displaying the FX1/FX2 to SOLO select and then rotate the encoder to select which input to solo in the headphones directly.

In the Recording mode (10x4) the 10 inputs are all prefader including 9/10 (Main LR Pre). In Streaming mode (2x4) the 2 inputs is post fader (Main LR Post). It would be nice to have the Main LR send to the computer (both Recording Mode and Streaming Mode) be adjustable Pre or Post fader independent of which mode.

Aside from that, it will fit a nitch need in various circles for me where a full blown XR18 or X32 are overkill (not to mention take up more space).

I did however run into an issue trying to run the firmware update (SimplyPUT_Linux_64-Bit.zip). It recognized when the mixer was or was not plugged in, but failed to put the mixer into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Ended up using windows (and spent hours running updates before I could update the Flow 8 / as I rarely power on windows). Not sure if this is a known issue and a simple udev fix (guessing) is all that is needed. I poked at the USB device list and saw the "bInterfaceClass 254:Application Specific Interface/bInterfaceSubClass 1:Device Firmware Update"

For those that live in Linux land and use Jack, it shows up as 10x4 or 2x4.. Under PulseAudio one would need to make use of the remapper module for PulseAudio. My script I've updated for when I connect Pulse to XL18/X32 (attached as PDF as TXT files are not allowed).

Hello.

I've been trying to setup my Behringer x32 core for bradcasting in Twitch, Zoom, Facebook or whatever, but I'm don't know how to do it.

All the guides I've followed about the rest of x32 devices are useless as they tell you how to do it through the screen menu, which is different to what I have in x-32 edit application.

I'm not able to do it using another way than x32 edit.

When I am selecting the audio device I'm only able to select 1-2 (Behringer X-USB) as input (then I'm just able to send what it is on input 1 or 2), or an output (just the sound comming from any application out of my DAW). Then I'm not able to select what I want to send to the output. In my mixer I don't have a bus which is sent part of the information.

I have attached the scene. How can I do it?

Following the purchase of a Flow 8 Digital Mixer, I set about learning how it worked – from a user’s perspective. This was done by connecting audio test equipment to the inputs/outputs and observing the effect of each of the controls on the various outputs. The results allowed the creation of an apparent signal paths diagram. The original diagram has been updated to reflect the Flow 8 functionality with firmware V11739. Earlier and later firmware releases may have different signal paths.

The diagram is not part of any official documentation and is just intended to help users understand how the various controls affect the operation of this great little digital mixer.

Edit: Diagram revised to correct pre-fader signal taps in Main and Mon buses. (22 Feb 2021)

Good Morning, we are running an x32 for streaming/recording audio. Every week we have had some sort of lock up that a power cycle will fix, 2 weeks ago I did an update to the latest firmware (4.04.1) hoping our problem would be solved. It wasn’t, what happened last week is the boar locked down with a power cycle I noticed when loading the files (during boot process) “NOT FOUND” was constantly loading. How I cured this I did a factory reset then a restore from the last backup that I had.  This week the same thing happened but this time I could not access to factory reset.  Today I knew I was going to be troubleshooting on here so I brought it to my office and when I turned it on all is good.  We can’t afford to have any more downtime with this console, any advice/service I can perform or pay done to ensure this doesn’t happen again?

Edit: Firmware V11739 provides several additional routing options. An updated diagram has been attached to a new discussion: https://community.musictribe.com/discussions/77059/310428/flow-8-apparent-signal-paths-v11739
