BESCHRÄNKTE GARANTIE

The X-LIVE interface card expands on the already stellar performance of the X-USB card that has been standard in X32 consoles for years. The same 32-channel bi-directional audio I/O via USB 2.0 is available, providing 32 channels for recording and playback, plus remote operation of your DAW via HUI/MackieControl emulation. The addition of twin SD/SDHC slots now provides fully independent, uncompressed recording/playback of up to 32-channels in consistent sessions up to the max capacity of the SD cards. Multi-channel recording without the need for a laptop, as well as virtual sound checks and live backing track support, accurate marker handling and adjustments, and full remote operation from apps or X-TOUCH control surfaces are only some of the new possibilities X-LIVE o ers.

2. Installing the X-LIVE Card

Please make sure the X32 series mixer rmware is updated to the most recent release version. Check the product page on behringer.com for the latest available rmware. CAUTION: Before installing the interface card into the console, make sure that the console’s power switch is turned o . Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise. Installation process:

1. Make sure that the mixer’s power is turned o .

2. Remove the outer screws that hold the current card or slot cover in place.

3. Gently slide the card out of the slot and set it somewhere safe along with the fastening screws.

4. Before removing the X-LIVE card from its protective bag, touch the metal chassis of the console to prevent electrostatic discharges from a ecting the sensitive electronic components. Hold the card by the face plate or the two small handles, avoiding contact with the components on the circuit board. 5. Align both edges of the card with the guide rails inside the slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. Push the card fully into the slot so that it sits ush against the console’s rear panel, ensuring that the contacts are properly connected internally. The screw holes should be naturally aligned. 6. Fasten the card with the included screws, or with those that originally held the old card in place. Damage or malfunctions may occur if the card is not fastened.

7. Place the old card into the protective bag that the X-LIVE card was packed in, and repackage for safe storage.

• 512 MB RAM See Speci cations for recommended operating systems. 9Quick Start Guide8 X-LIVE4. USB Operation The USB connection on the X-LIVE card provides 32 channels of bi-direction audio I/O via USB 2.0, as well as MIDI I/O and remote DAW control via HUI/MackieControl emulation. Make sure to download and install the free ASIO driver from behringer.com if you are using a Windows PC. The X-LIVE is CoreAudio compliant and therefore does not need a driver for use on Mac computers.

4.1 Driver Control Panels

Once the driver is installed, you can open the control panel by double-clicking on the small tray icon. These screens will allow con guring the X-LIVE card in the X32 as an audio interface for your computer. Info – displays the driver version number and device IDs. Bu er Settings – allows the stream and ASIO sound bu ers to be set. Use small bu ers for short latency when monitoring through the PC. Use large bu ers and longer latency for preventing audio glitches on old, low-performance PCs. Status / USB Audio Device – displays the card name and serial number.

4.2 USB Con guration

After the console has booted up, you can access the Setup screen and navigate to the Card tab to select the USB interface input/output con guration. Depending on your application, you may want to select an option other than the maximum 32 x 32 channel count to preserve system resources. 32 in / 32 out – This mode allows the full potential of the interface to be tapped. Note that the computer needs to be able to handle that amount of concurrent I/O stream without any glitches. Depending on its speed and memory con guration, some optimization for audio recording might be required. It is also possible to run a virtual sound check of all 32 input channels by recording them directly to a computer during a brief line check. The performers can leave the stage while you play back the recorded instruments from the hard drive and tweak the sound accordingly. 11Quick Start Guide10 X-LIVE16 in / 16 out – If you don’t actually need more than 16 concurrent input and output tracks to be exchanged between the console and your PC, then this mode might be more appropriate for you. First, it will slow the required bandwidth on the interface down. Second, there will be no excessive I/O tracks in your DAW con guration that might clutter your setup. Third, it allows you to run a fully-featured zero-latency overdub setup, which would be impossible if signals were run through the computer. In this case, the 16 input signals are put on channels 1-16, while the tape (card) returns are put on channels 17-32. The monitoring is directly fed from Ch1-16 as usual, including all processing and e ects. It remains independent from any computer audio latency, even though you can hear back all the recorded tracks without any re-patching. 32 in / 8 out – This mode is tailored to suit a typical studio and overdub recording situation, with many input channels but only a few output channels for monitoring of previously recorded takes. 8 in / 32 out – This is a useful mode for utilizing the excellent audio engine and e ects processing of the console during nal mixdown of your project. All 32 tracks would be fed from your DAW into the console where all the magic happens. Then only 2-8 tracks of the complete mixdown would be sent back to the DAW. 8 in / 8 out – This setting is light on processing power while still providing enough I/O for tracking drums or multiple mics on an acoustic guitar or piano. 2 in / 2 out – For recording just the main stereo mix, or playing back from typical media player applications where often only two channels are needed. Use this mode in order to remove all unused channels that would otherwise clutter your PCs audio applications. Note that the Routing / Home and Card Out tabs allow audio from your computer to be sent to the desired destination. The Routing/home tab now o ers to select two alternative input assignments, separately for Recording and Playback operation. See chapter 5.3 for details.

5. SD Card Operation

The X-LIVE card features a pair of SD/SDHC slots that provide 32 channels of multitrack recording and playback. Simple session management and up to 100 markers allow playback from any desired point, easily cueing up certain songs or backing tracks. Automatic or manual switching from recording to playback routing presets makes it easy to monitor input channels directly while recording, and then listen to the playback from the card returns. The SD cards operate independently from the USB connection, giving you many options for how you incorporate outboard plugins, multichannel input and live recording.

Most of the con guration and operation for the SD card slots and USB connection are handled on the Setup/Card page of the console. From this page, the SD slot or USB can be selected for playback, SD slot 1 or 2 can be selected for recording or marker editing, and the channel count can be speci ed for recording. A properly installed and formatted card will appear near the top with a green square, with its le size and remaining recording time indicated. SD cards up to 2 GB and SDHC cards up to 32 GB are o cially supported, for use with FAT32 formatting. It is best practice before important recordings to press the console’s Utility button and format the card. Formatting will delete all data to remove fragmentation and to ensure proper write performance. A list of recorded sessions and markers for the currently-selected session are listed below the recorder graphics. Transport functions are controlled with the rst 3 encoders. Markers can be added to a session during recording or playback to indicate the start of a song or set. Press the page down to the 2nd layer of controls to make changes to the con guration. 13Quick Start Guide12 X-LIVEThe ‘Channel Routing’ section is explained in chapter 5.3. The SD operation can also be controlled by any of the remote apps, as well as MIDI and the onboard assignable controls. In the X32-Edit software, most of the con guration settings are made on the Setup/Card page, while the recording functions and marker management are done in the Recorder window.

5.2 Recording and File Management

Audio recording on the X-LIVE card can accommodate either 8, 16, or 32-channel sessions of 44.1/48 kHz / 32-bit PCM WAV les. As soon as recording is initiated to one of the SD cards, a new session is automatically created, allowing the entire take to be organized cohesively. To ensure continuous recording of the entire performance, a recording session that has started on one card can seamlessly span over to the other card slot when the rst becomes full. In this case, the same session name will appear on both cards. Since a single session may include a full set of songs, markers can be placed during recording or while listening to playback. They can also be adjusted using the remote apps by using the ‘Edit Marker’ section. This makes it easy to organize the set and quickly jump to a particular section of the recording for playback.

The X32 has a convenient routing preset that allows the input channels to quickly ip between the desired monitoring for the recording process, and the playback from the X-LIVE card once recording is nished. While Playback would typically be used to assign the card outputs to the mixer inputs, Recording would patch those signals to channel inputs that shall be on mix, i.e. not necessarily the ones being recorded on X-LIVE. On the Routing/Home page, select ‘Record’ with the 6th encoder and adjust the input routing using encoders 1-5 (most likely Local or AES50 from a stagebox). Then turn the 6th encoder to select ‘Play’ and press the encoder. Now Card 1-8, 9-16, etc. can be selected using encoders 1-5 for the playback preset. On the Setup/Card page, you can now use the ‘Channel Routing’ section to quickly ip between these 2 routing scenarios. Keep in mind that the Record/Play presets can be toggled using an assignable control button, scene/snippet automation, or even MIDI command. A third option on the Setup/Card page, ‘Automatic’, allows the shift from input monitoring to playback monitoring to follow the current operation. When Stop or Record is pressed in the transport control, the ‘Record’ routing will be assigned, and when Play or Pause is active, the ‘Play’ preset will be used.

5.4 Separating WAV Files

After recording is complete, the session can be separated into individual WAV les in several ways:

• Play the audio from the SD card directly into a DAW program, e.g. Tracktion, Reaper, ProTools, Cubase, Logic, Ableton (just to name a few) via the USB connection

• Directly open the multi-channel le using Audacity (brilliant open source audio editor available from www.audacityteam.org/)

• Using our Python scripts, downloadable from behringer.com Visit the wiki page at behringerwiki.music-group.com for more information about separating WAV les. 15Quick Start Guide14 X-LIVE6. Battery Option The X-LIVE has a battery slot that can accommodate a CR123A Lithium cell battery. This provides protection in case of power blackout, ensuring secure le handling. To attach the battery, rst turn the console power o and remove the X-LIVE card from the expansion slot. Locate the battery slot and install the battery, making sure to orient the positive end toward the “+” mark on the slot. Reinstall the X-LIVE card as described in chapter 2.

Download the latest rmware package le from the X-LIVE product page on behringer.com. Unpack the zip folder and load the rmware le onto the ash drive’s root directory. Plug the ash drive into the X32’s top panel USB port. Press and hold the USB View button while powering on the console. The console will automatically begin updating the rmware, which can take several minutes to complete. When nished, power the console o and on again and resume normal operation. NOTE: make sure the update les for card rmware and console rmware are not used in the USB root directory at the same time. Do one update after the other, making sure to remove the rmware le from the ash drive after successful installation. You may, however, copy the console rmware le into any subfolder on the USB drive and start the update from Setup/Global console UI.
