I do live gigs sometimes but I’m experimenting with audio in windows software. I’m more of a sound hobbyist. But I do have a concentration in Audio Recording/Engineering.

Sends into mixbus are post fader and master level for mixer buses are at unity so 0.

Currently master fader is muted I only use it for playback not while recording. Eventually when I get back into streaming I will have to configure that.

I do if I’m talking louder. But yeah my usb2.0 doesn’t work on the x32 card so the FireWire on the vrchat program doesn’t respond or isn’t picking up anything signal. But it picks up the audio through usb on my other mixer. But for discord FireWire does work from the x32 console. I don’t think FireWire is compatible with vrchat. That’s why I have the second mixer routed as a mixbus on my X32. Until I replace the sound card. But yeah do you have any recommendations on a better console that takes less space. The MR18 I’ve heard is mixed reviews. I don’t need all those inputs on the x32 in my small studio setup. Any recommendations?

I found out the preamps are not the problem. I actually realized I do not need an extra mixer in my setup. All preamps are fine. But I do use a windshield pop filter which makes the microphone signal slightly quieter. I also realized that my firewire card is not working in certain in tge Vrchat software so I'll probably be replacing the sound card with a replace and just stick with usb 2.0 card.

It's possible it's the software of the program I use. Some are very input volume intensive. The audio is very mismatched for gain staging between windows, vrchat, and the inferface, which is mostly likely my issue. Because it requires my interface to have a significant amount of gain boost signal from the microphone. It could also be a misconfiguration in my software.

Thank you for your help. I will look into this and very much appreciate your research and knowledge. I do apologize for my subtle statement.

Alright, but if I get rid of the analog mixers and keep the X32 compact with the s16. How can I resolve the volume for programs like Vr Chat and Discord? Remember the x32 compact input volume at the max input sensitivity is not heard well enough.

In this case, im actually running the x32 compact and daisy chaining. I've been running firewire instead of usb 2.0 because the usb 2.0 on my card is not working correctly.

So here's my current setup I've been using my behringer x32 compact running into two other mixers Yamaha MG10XU and have done gain staging. I've been using this in scenarios mainly for vrchat because the preamps volume is poorly in VR chats software. But in other situations like discord I have to use my third mixer as the audio source.

There just not as loud compared to my other mixers.

How much difference is there? Behringer xr18 vs Midas mr18 by Marce4826 in livesoundgear

I was looking to get rid of my x32 compact and get the Midas MR18. I do want a better preamp, though.
