    FracTool - for power users only

    Hi, Not sure if this is the correct place to ask about Fractool? I've recently received my FM9 Turbo and wanted to convert my presets from my FM3. My FM9 is running V3.00 and my FM3 is running 5.03 So, I downloaded the latest Fractool to give it a try. So, I've backed up my Preset bank D from...

    IEM best practices

    Actually, no we've not A/B'd the ambient mics, IIRC I read about it on the X32 forum, they suggested to do it with the phase reversed, it works so we just stuck with it. Technically its not going to truly cancel it as you say, but it seems to deal with it in a way that all we can hear is the...

    IEM best practices

    Our band has been using isolating IEMs for the last 5 years or so. The 3 of us up front use wireless feeds from our X32 compact so we each get a personal IEM mix, our drummer uses a wired setup via the Behringer P-16 personal mixer, as he likes to tweak his own personal IEM mix. We still use...

    Wish Light blue for neutral state of all switches!

    I like the idea of making yellow from Red&Green But putting both LEDs on at the same time would double the light intensity unless the ability to dim is also there I think Plus can the power over Ethernet cable cope with the extra demand if all LEDs could be potentially lit?

    Scenes question

    MFC-Edit is a must for setting up sets! I have added or changed the odd song through the switches but I've also screwed things up doing it this way :D
  23. Japster

    Scenes question

    I also use this on my MFC-101 Mk1, to get around the preset limit you can also use Sets to group Presets into usable groups which you step through using Preset Up/Down. From memory I think you can have 10 Sets, containing 50 Presets each.
