Hey guys, so I’m in a cover band and we’re probably gonna be playing small venues ~ 150 to 200 people. I’m currently running our backing tracks over usb through a linked stereo pair that I set up on the x32 and had a couple of questions.

Does it really matter? Is someone on the left side of the stage really gonna lose all that info from the right if I’m sending a true stereo source? Its not like I’m playing a 60 foot wide stage lol

Do I need to be concerned about sending playback tracks through my mono bus for smaller venues and getting an accurate mix no matter where somewhere one is in the room?

Do I need to pan that linked pair hard left and hard right, or keep them centered? From what I understand if it is a linked pair, the pan becomes a balance and to keep them centered. Is that true? 

What are most PA playback systems in venues? I’ve reading they are all mostly mono. In that case should I just hand FOH the left or right from my main and call it day or route thru my mono bus and hand them one xlr? 

Our stems seem to be true stereo files although some also look dual mono.

Any help is much appreciated and please tell me if I overthinking this lol.

Our band has a Behringer X32 Unit that we use to mix our own ears for our shows. Everyone uses a phone or tablet and dials in their own in-ear mix. However, one of our band members recently got a brand new iPad Air, and the X32 mixing app doesn't work on it. He also tried the MX mix app, and that doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone know if there's another app available for newer Apple iOS that works with the X32? Or maybe we need to do a software or firmware update on the unit? It's about 4 years old.

I am a Junior in High school looking into going into live sound, I ideally want to go into concerts and live theater. I want to know what things I can do to accelerate my career

Context:
I fully run sound for my schools a cappella choir with 16 wireless handhelds on a Behringer x32 compact. They are all vocal mics including a bass pedal mic and a beatboxing mic. I am in charge of running the board, full gear setup including speakers and monitors.
I also do very basic sound for my church, all the setup is done for me so it’s mostly just muting and unmuting channels and occasionally slightly changing EQ, it is a podium, a handheld over the alter, 2 solo mics for the choir, 3 choir condensers, a guitar, and a mic for a violin
I am shadowing the lead engineer at a large theater near me at their upcoming production.
I am planning on going to college for audio engineering, my current top 2 are Belmont and MTSU, but let me know if you have any good colleges for live sound.

If you have any questions on anything please ask

I just got my x32 hooked back to my PC from 2 weeks away, and discovered that Microsoft has blocked the drivers for my console. The x-uf card drivers have been disabled by Microsoft. Both the USB and FireWire drivers. I know that I have an older system but very frustrating to suddenly not be able to use gear due to a windows update. Any one found a work around.

Our monitor X32 froze on us after a show, and when we powered it back on, the screen did not turn on, showing only dim lights. I know there is a post here stating it was the power supply unit; we have replaced the power supply and tried doing a force boot from a flash drive, and now we are lost regarding what is going on. Do you have any insight into what we did wrong or what our possible next steps could be?

Hello World, this week I have calibrated a system for a small event. I'm familiar with Smaart and other calibrating tool. I have already seen this king of measurement but I doesn't know why it's happen : a small phase rotation at the crossover section.
I join some pictures of the mesure I made, the physical thing is in the red circle.

To resume : One RCF Art 915-A for the Top and TP218/1600 A (Thomann) for the Sub.
Crossover made with a DBX PA2 cut at 115 hz (LR 24)

The phase rotation appear and disappear with the mic position, but the majority of time the rotation is present as we can see on the third picture : 3 positions to made the average and the rotation is present.

I think it depend on the type of filter ( LR / But / 12,24 etc ) but it's change nothing to very little difference to the phase, and always on the cutoff frequency.

SO, here my question : how is this happening ?
