Well, Mackie has moved to my standby mixer and the X-Air XR18 will be my primary mixer. When I record a live gig, usually the USB sends (i.e. USB1-5 for vocals) are recorded "Dry". I'd like to have the ability to record them "Wet" as well passing FX1 thru FX4 down the USB bus to my DAW (Sonar Platinum). I don't think you can. If anyone has figured this out, let me know.
Ciao,
Gio

Haven't memorized the routing matrix (FX I don't think is a source for USB) but if you don't mind loosing four inputs route (via cables) the 4 aux's to the 4 inputs assuming that's what you want. Just make sure they don't end up in the main mix (major feedback). Slight delay is fixable in any DAW.
P.S. That was fast!

I see you got your answer from the X-Air forum and the FX is a source for USB as is most everything in the X18/XR18. I only had the XR12 hooked up so none of it showed since the XR12 only records 2 channels (LR) at 16 bit resolution. Of course you could have looked that up in that profusely illustrated Wiki manual :lol: Someday they'll even give that group of one a unit so he can write about it. A dead giveaway is the lack of recorder info when not hooked up. I also noticed you are using Dugan's automix for vocals. I don't think it's ready for prime time especially if more than one vocalist is singing. Great for speech, not so for vocals.
Correction on 2 channel input choice. Almost any source and tap point is available for the channels. Setup for that is in the recorder screen. Also well documented in the Wiki :lol:

Bill, I decided to run it dry to the DAW and use Sonar's FX which are way more extensive. All is good. I have to get use to the way Behringer names everything. A "SHOW" is a folder on a PC or Mac that contains the "SCENES" and "SNAPSHOTS". Since the iPad and Android really don't have a folder structure (at least one you can get at). I still don't like the idea that the "Controlling Device" holds the master SHOW/SCENE/SNAPSHOT. So we still have this Master/Slave mentality. Oh well ;)

BTW, thanks for the update on Digan's automix for vocals. I will disable that. Glad you mentioned that to me before a live gig :lol:
