Recording to thumb drive?
No - PC...I used Reaper...had some issues - worked - but I think I messed up the session somehow - so tracks from one take are in another take...not sure what I did.
But I recorded enough to give me some fodder for experimentation - and making refinements for next week.
I think the USB recorder is limited to 16 tracks...but I think if you buss stuff around properly - you can squeeze a few more in.
I am also hearing a whistle though my PC playback...guessing (well hoping!) that just might be the crappy soundcard in this PC.
Its very low - and not particularly noticeable unless its a quiet passage at high volume.
Question, it sounds like you are saying that you could go USB out of the Behringher to USB in on computer, is that correct? One reason I am very interested is a guy I work for had bought an X-32 this summer but he is not comfortable enough on it to use it yet...but I know we will be using it and I am usually recording most bands that I mix when I work with him. So, USB to USB would be super simple easy. If it was USB >USB did you have to buy a card or anything like that to do USB? If it wasn't how did you get signal into the PC? I have presonous, Foucusrite and Behringher 8 channel preamps, but all mine are FW pre's and no FW on my laptop. Thanks in advance
It has both...there is a little USB port on the mix surface - this is the on-board recorder, and is used to import and export scenes. I think its limited to 16 channels. Just plug in a stick and go.
And - it has a built-in 32 channel USB/Firewire interface - these jacks are on the back.
To use the USB Recording interface - You need the USB Driver from the website....And then select the ASIO driver in Reaper - and that was pretty much it.
Behringer has something called "X32-Edit" - but this is more a way to per-configure the board/show on a PC.
I used Windows 7 laptop - seemed to work easily.
