There is also the facility to play back wav files via a USB stick but I would like to see that further expanded to allow playlist to be set up to auto play or play a playlist rather than one track at a time. However, you can get an instant 2 channels mix using the inbuilt recorder. I changed to 24 tracks but still got the error. I tried to use the X32 for a multi track recording of our latest show, but the software (Studio One 2 Pro on a Mac Book Pro) stated that the external hard drive I was recording too was not fast enough to record all 32 tracks. We currently feed that into the Presonus which is used alongside the X32. I had considered buying another X32 to provide us with 64 channels for the large shows we do with Orchestras.
We mainly use the X32 at different venues for musical theatre so the extra channels (32) were a plus over the Presonus 24.4.2 (24) which we previously used and still own. So it was bought together with the S16 and the flightcase (Also reviewed). The fact that Midas had also helped in the design of the pre amps and the manufacturing process was another plus. and price, and the fact that it could run on Cat 5 to a stage box. I was impressed with this board for its spec.
