How We Mix Our In-Ear Monitors with the Behringer XR18

Have you started using in-ears? What does your set up look like?

So cool to hear each member's mix!

Good video. Can you do a video on how you record?

Thank you! This is a great example of helpful video, where finally everything’s explained properly and clearly.

just bought the xr18 and an in ear system for the band and i today after watching this vid. huge help, thank you!

Do i really need snake or just a digital mixer is sufficient (4person band) ? What are benefits of having snake?

Thank You!

Why are you not using input 1 or 2 to acoustic guitar? Are you using DI box between acoustic guitar and mixer? Input 1 and 2 are high impedance input to be used by acoustic guitar or bass.

Cool to hear different mixes, Very educational! Thanks for sharing !!!

Got a quick question; can you use onboard effects on each bus? I'd like to have a bit of "space" with my IEM setup.

I dont understand why you wouldn't want the full band mix like what the crowd is hearing in your in ear

Stereo in-ear is addicting!

First off, the bass player is very tall. Secondly, is there a way to put effects on discreet AUX's? In other words, can the singer have a different compression/reverb than the tall bass player? Good job on the video. Thx.

Nice video and thanks for sharing! Just a question: why has Adam got a stereo aux since all the instruments are coming in as mono? The only advantage I can think of is that he can create a stereo image on his monitor by panning the instruments left and right.

Awesome video. Our band is looking at getting an xr18. My question is does the sound come out of both left and right headphones in your in ears for each band member using your set up or just the one you’ve got set up for stereo? Thanks

Thanks for this video, it was extremely helpful. I apologize if you answered this during the video, I’m new to this set up, but can you run vocal reverb in the IEM‘s, separate from the reverb that is FOH?

We have this mixer and some of my band mates, once again we’re new to it and trying to figure the system out, think it’s either or, you run it front of the house, and you have to live with that in your IEMs, or you run dry in your IEMs. Thanks!

I wish I could have watched this without the background music. Hard for people my age to focus.

Super insightful! Cheers!

you guys sound great! It would be great if you had a video to show how you set up your vocal channel strip. Or any direction you can send me that would help me on that information that would be awesome!

Thanks for the great video. I'm considering buying this. Did you all have issues with IOS16 for the X Air app? It has a 2.0 rating because of some bug.

Since Adam is running stereo…is this something with his transmitter and receiver? Would this mean he would take up Aux Bus 5 and 6!?

If you use the Mixing Station app as opposed to the X-mix app for your IEM mixing, you can access and control the amount of FX that are getting sent to your IEMs, which you CAN'T DO with the "official" monitor mixing app (grumble, grumble). It costs a few dollars but is WELL worth it. You just choose your specific bus when you open the app (the default is NO RESTRICTIONS, and you don't want your bandmates messing with that). Plus, the Mixing Station app (no affiliation from me, I just like the app a lot) also has "LAYERS", so you can customize your screen to just have the channels you adjust the most often on one screen. This is particularly helpful when you are on the X32 and have more channels to deal with. Also, this vid confirms exactly why I can't stand to be on a mono IEM mix any more, lol. Adam FTW. Similarly, I like a fairly close approximation of the full band mix, with my guitar and vox sitting just above it. Well done on the song!

Dang this thing is a mess!

What are the blue signal bars on the channel? Is it gain reduction?

Great video! Love my X air 18

Great job on explaining.

David, has the Seismic Audio splitter worked well for you guys? Has it had any issues?

Thanks

Great info. Love the band!

Btw, your song is such an ear worm, I've already started singing the chorus over and over again!

Thank you, looking at buying the Behringer Xr 16 , but thought it was going to take up too much time to learn the software?
Looks straight forward 😀

Hi, good Video. There is a App for only control the Monitoring: x air Monitor mix. This is very usefull.

Question. How do you send Effects To A Bus (In-Ear Mix)?

For Stereo I believe you can just link the tracks and click the aux on the main screen and you will see a little pan slider on the linked channels, rather than have to set left and right volumes.

Duuuuuuude! Seriously you have made me finally understand my behringer mixer thank you

Great vid man. QUESTION: does routing it this way allow FOH to get your vocal effects? I was told I'd need a vocal processor hooked up before the snake. This wouldn't be necessary because of the Xair correct??
Thanks!

How can we do it so that we all can fix our own mixes without bothering the one who has the tablet?

That rack looks hideous and mono in-ear is a sin just as bad...

I hope to get some answers…
Please what device gives this interface? On my android, I can only see up to 8 channels. How can I switch the view to see all 16?

I've been taking about getting in-ears for a long time. Now that I consider the XR18 for my band it might be the time to get both. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Can each band member just listen to the mix on their phone via blue tooth headphones??

Thanks

Dave seems unhappy to be there 😂

Really loved the real time differences shown at the end… it shows the diversity and power of all the routing available. Also sets realistic expectations of what to expect you can achieve. Kudos

I love this channel, please I really want to know more about sound eng

Can’t you have the app on your phone and plug in your IEMs to your phone and just use that as the transmitter ?

Thanks bro you helped me a lot 🙏🏾

Can each band member use their own app and change their own monitor mix if they want to? Or do they have to tell you what they like, and you do it with your app? In other words: can more than one person run sound at the same time?

Great walk-through of how to manage busses on the xr-series. But, oooh, that pile of individual IEM transmitters is a hot mess.

Hey David. Have you ever had any issues with the Seismic Splitter Snake? Does it sound good? Thanks
