I also demand that I'm able to multi-track the inputs, so that also weighs in. I run the P16 system either postEQ or pre-EQ depending on the channel and the artist's desires. The primary band I work with uses the P16 mixers and in-ears so I knew having any additional latency would not work. I (typically) run FOH and monitors from the same console. To understand exactly why, you need to understand how I use the console. If you're not currently using virtual sound check (or recording your gigs for that matter), go out and buy or borrow a computer with a USB port and start tracking your sessions! I knew to get started wrapping my head around MultiRack I'd need to rely on some one-on-one time with the M32 and virtual sound check.Īfter spending about an hour thinking about it and another 30 minutes experimenting I found what would be the best way to implement MultiRack. I have the wonderful fortune of having over 6 TB of live recordings that I can use for virtual sound check and that has helped me immensely. Needless to say, within 10 minutes of getting the email I had made the purchase. So for $99 you can buy MultiRack Native and you get another cool app you might use some day. But wait! For $99 you can get the 'premium service' AND MultiRack Native. A FREE application that gives rock solid multi-tracking and playback for those wanting a simple to use program. In early March, Waves announced a new program called Track Live. I've always known there was ways to use plugins live, but they've always been just out of reach. I've been mixing (via Logic Pro X) with Waves plugins for some time and I've loved what I've gotten from them. However, in the back of my mind I've always wanted more. Learning the EQ, tweaking compressor settings, and having fun seeing what the internal 'plugins' do to my channels.

Over the last few months I've been slowly learning how to dial it in.

In November of 2014 I finally took delivery of my most prized possession: a Midas M32.

This post is dedicated to all of you looking to get the most out of your Midas M32 (or Behringer X32), those who are tired of scrolling through forums trying to figure out if Waves MultiRack is worth it, and those wondering how to implement MultiRack on one of these fantastic consoles.
