Mixbus 6 and X32 Behringer

[wavesound]

Hi All
Have any of you been using this setup on Linux?
Although the desk has really nice effects I cannot get them to play in the DAW.
IE: add guitar amp to channel 1 and in Chanel 1 in MB6 I get only the direct sound with no amp modelling.
I can hear the modelling on the monitors OK.
There seems to be a lot of confusion re this online.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers Bob

If you want to use the FX in your X32 you need to treat it like any other outboard gear - make an insert in your Mixbus channel strip, send to a hardware output which is an input channel in the X32, run the FX on that channel, take its output and make it the return to your Mixbus send.

I tried that in insert 1 but got feedback, it may have been me mis routing something. This is how they say to do it.

Select AES (ie P16) select chan 1 to direct out on same chan.
go to patch points select out 1 to DI out post fader
On card out page set card 1 to 9 as DI out
I now have amp modelling in line and no need to fire up the external rig.


I still will try the insert method again as it seems more logical to me.
Thanks for your help

The X32 channel you are using for the FX should be exclusive, it shouldn't have any other I/O options possible. That's hard sometimes as it gets fairly complex with all the internal paths of Mixbus and the X32. Maybe, to just apply the amp, you record that track with the amp applied into a new track...

P.S.: are you mixing in the Mixbus mixer or in the X32? In the latter case this would be your feedback path.

[the C.L.A.]

I got an X32 Rack recently.

The card outputs by default are set to record directly from the inputs of the console. So if you want to record wet it is required to do a custom routing in X32.

For example under the tab "Card" set Outputs 25-32 to record from Out 9-16 - then under the tab "Out 1-16" you can choose the source track/bus and tap you want to record from for any of those Outputs 9-16.

For using it in Mixbus directly the routing might be a bit more complicated - didn't yet try that myself.
