![]() ![]() Next section is the WHERE: Channels, Returns, Buses, Main/Matrix/Group. ![]() If you were wanting to save the fader position of channels 1-16, you would first select the ‘Fader, Pan’ box. This is what is being saved in the snippet. There are a few different sections of the snippet menu, we start with the WHAT: Parameter Filter, Effects and Console. You can program the snippet to change just a single effect rack, that way when you are swtiching between songs, you can just load the effect change but not change anything else on the board. The snippets would be a much better choice as they would retain those changes that you were making throughout the show in the live setting.Īnother example of where snippets would be better than scenes, is saving time/tempo based effects like reverbs or delays. However, if during the live service you made an EQ change to say the snare drum, the next scene you load would write over that EQ change. Scenes would work for saving those changes song to song. During a song change, the entirety of the board isn’t changing, just little things like volume, maybe even panning. In these types of situations, I would be using Snippets. Some songs you will want the keyboard and bass guitar pumping in the system, and on other songs, you may want the electric guitar taking the song. With different songs comes different lead instruments and lead vocalists. And, as long as your musicians haven’t changed anything from the practice, it should be very close to the correct settings for that Sunday!ĭuring those services, you will often have multiple songs. That way, when it comes to Sunday service, I can pull up my settings from the practice. ![]() Once you have your base scene week to week dialed in, I would save that AND BACK IT UP! Once I have it backed up, I would save my settings from the practice of that week and save it into another scene slot. I would be saving a scene for the ‘traditional service’, the ‘contemporary service’, the ‘high school service’, and the ‘wedding/event’. This is where I would be using the scenes function of the Behringer X32. SnippetsĬhurches will often have a few different types of services or events happening throughout the week. If all the snippet is doing is adjusting fader level, the remainder of the settings (EQ, Dynamics, Gate, etc.) stay unchanged. Instead of replacing every parameter, it updates certain parameters depending on the specific snippet. Snippets on the other hand, have much less to load. With over 2000 lines of code, the scene does take a very slight amount of time to load. The flow of the load goes in this process:Ĭonfiguration > Routing (Input, AES50A, AES50B, Card, Out) > User Assign Settings > Channels 1-32 > Aux In 1-8 > FX Returns > Mixbusses 1-16 > Matrix 1-6 > Main LR > M/C > DCAs > FX Racks > XLR Output 1-16 > Aux Output 1-6 > P16 Outputs > AES/EBU Output > USB Recorder > Global Headamp Gains When the X32 loads a scene, it replaces every parameter one by one starting from the top of the board and going through all of the board. We can see an example of this below with the muting of channel 1: snp file can be as little as two lines of code all the way up to 2000+ lines of code. Just like the scenes, snippets are also an ASCII format but it is saved as a. This can be useful for saving fader position on a set of channels, or even muting a set of channels. Snippets allow for saving of a specific set of parameters on a specific set of channels. We can see an example of this file in the photo below: scn file has over 2000 items that it saves in an ASCII format which you can view and edit from a text editor (Notepad, TextEdit or my favorite TextMate). When you save a scene, it takes a snapshot of every parameter of the board from routing, to fader position, all the way down to EQ settings, and it saves it to a. This is the backbone of the ‘Show Control’. The X32 uses Scenes as its main save function. It is obvious that I love the use of Effects on the X32, you can probably tell because I have dedicated so much time with my X32 Effects Tutorials! However, another one of my favorite parts of the board is the ‘Show Control’ which consists of snippets, scenes, and cues. Not only do the three work together but getting a firm grasp on how to use these three things can improve your workflow on the sound board! The Behringer X32 Snippets, Scenes, and Cues are a commonly overlooked and misunderstood feature of the Behringer X32 and Midas M32 console. ![]()
