X-LIVE Makes Multi-Tracking
a Breeze
The X32’s recording capability just got
even more robust, thanks to the new
X-LIVE Expansion Card and USB Audio/
MIDI Interface. Whether you're multitracking your live performances directly
to a PC/Mac, or to the ash media in your
console, X-LIVE makes it easier than ever.
Equipped with dual SD/SDHC-card slots,
X-LIVE provides uncompressed recording
and playback of up to 64 GB of memory,
enough to capture a 3 hour and 20 minute
continuous 32-track session – all of which
can be done without ever leaving the
X32 environment. Just think about it,
no external wiring or computer issues – everything you need is in a single location.
And X-LIVE is equally at home in either the recording studio or the performance venue.

Independent USB & SD
Operation
The X-LIVE USB and SD interfaces
can be operated simultaneously and
independently. For example, you may want
to play back your recorded session from
an SD card and record the tracks via USB
into your favorite DAW for post-processing.
Or, you might need to prepare live backing
tracks in your DAW and then transfer them
to an SD card in real time, while setting
performance markers on-the- y. You can
even record using both the USB and SD
simultaneously for redundancy. Best of all,
these operations can be performed without
routing tracks through your console
channels, leaving the X32 completely free
to craft the perfect FOH mix.
