These will give you the basic nuts and bolts of the software, but to really learn how to properly use dynamics, EQ's, FX, etc, you'll have to find general sound engineering tutorials. They have improved a bit since Midas bought them, but YouTube to the rescue.again! There are plenty of X-Touch (mixer app) specific videos available from Behringer and other contributors.

Or whatever DAW you choose to use.ДЄs is typical with all my experiences with Behringer products, the manual will leave you scratching your head. The X-18 is small enough to set up on a computer desk and record directly into Garage Band. No need to purchase an expensive 3 or 4 channel interface. This can be done on the console at my church, but I can do this at a fraction of the size, weight, and cost.ДЄnother reason the X-18 is the perfect unit for me is that I was looking for a way to record in my home studio. Simultaneously, all in the same laptop, I can control the mix, record to a DAW, and send iTunes music to separate channels in the mixer. This is all done with a single USB cord between the mixer and my MacBook. I've been wanting to make multitrack recordings of my live shows, AND be able to easily have bumper music ready to go. This mixer was the perfect solution for all my musical needs/wants. Behringer should discuss this in their manual. They were probably unaware of the 2.4ghz conflicts they had going on. I've heard of some complaining about X-18's built-in WiFi being cheap and useless. See.operator error, not the mixer's fault. They were competing and interfering with each other.

Turns out I had the mixer and instrument pack both on channel 6. It took me a little while to figure out why the guitar kept cutting out, and my iPad kept losing connection. I use a Line 6 wireless mic and instrument pack. As an added bonus, you'll have greater range and security. This will allow the connection between the mixer and your control device (if it works on 5ghz) to be cleaner and more reliable. Or, set to WiFi Client and connect to an existing WiFi network. Set the mixer's network switch to Ethernet and plug into the router directly. The best fix in this situation is to use a stand alone WiFi router that works on 5ghz band. I use a WiFi scanner app on my laptop to show me the least polluted channel available. If you're using WiFi along with wireless packs, make sure to set everything on different channels. This includes some wireless mics and instrument packs. This makes it susceptible to interference when competing devices are present. The built in WiFi uses the 2.4ghz band and has very limited range and security. If you start noticing a lot of lag in the screen response, or dropped connection, outside interference is the cause. If this mixer will be used to run a show with a large audience, keep in mind that there may be a lot of devices polluting the 2.4ghz channels. With built in WiFi, this mixer offers great versatility. Your choice! It's great to have that choice. Or, leave the mixer at the stage and do the whole job via tablet. Once the foundation of the mix is set at FOH, the sound guy can grab a tablet and wander around the audience area to fine tune.

This would offer all the necessary screen real estate to have the most important elements of the mixer available at the fingertips. Perhaps the best compromise would be a large touch screen monitor laid on its back. But, that's the trade one makes for this kind of flexibility and portability. (insert Golem voice) Nasty ol' feedsbacks!! If you're running this via a tablet or small screened laptop, you'll have to learn to quickly navigate menus and sub screens to fix the problem. Given its complexity and lack of knobs and faders at the fingertips, this mix er can be sometimes frustrating to use in a live show emergency. 9.5 times out of 10, the problem with a mix will be the operators error or lack of familiarity with the system.

It can be done, but the sound quality will definitely be lacking. This really isn't a mixer for someone that just wants to plug and play. Beginners will want to commit a moderate chunk of time to watching the tutorial videos found on YouTube. BUT one needs to have a moderate amount of sound engineering knowledge to understand the routing, dynamics, and bussing.

This mixer does everything my analog system did, plus TONS MORE at a quarter of the weight. I purchased this mixer to replace a mostly analog system that had a combined weight of around 60lbs.
