If it works and it sounds good, then it IS good. A lot of people will hate on Behringer, but their budget interfaces get the job done. Not to mention the absolute prevalence and success of midas consoles in live sound. You don't need to break the bank on expensive pres, amps, cabs, tubes, tape or tone wood to get a great sound. To get a great sound you need ears, patience and practice, and this video is a great example of that.

Not anything audible in a live environment anyway, not even in most studio situations. If you don’t want to believe it I’m fine with that: I have no problem with people overspending on gear they think they need. It doesn’t mean however that the interface is no good for others.

Interesting video. Reminds me of the last 20 years I did as a duo using backing tracks. The amount of gear we started early off bringing to gigs you'd think Pink Floyd were setting up. All High end gear, Electro Voice PA speakers, Electro Voice Rackmount Power Amps, DBX Mixer, DBX compressors etc. Laptop, Midi File player, Lighting, Lighting Truss plus banner hanging off it, a case full of connecting cables. Then there was the Fender amp, Plus guitars to lug up stairs at gigs. Ridiculous for just the two of us, but we didn't know better. Eventually after a few years we ended up with a similar setup to yours. Now I get by with just a Merish backing track player for the backing tracks, the mics just plug into that with its built in effects, plus the guitar into a laptop for the guitar using Guitar Rig 6 software.

Nice build. The ADAT/SPDIF switch switches the optical in- and output of the unit. If switched to SPDIF the coaxial connectors stop working as it is switched to the optical connectors. So therefore you have to switch the optical to ADAT so you can use the coaxial. Hope that makes sense and you don't get confused anymore. 🙂

But playing it live outdoors, I too lost the click track lol. So some of the songs turned into a small disaster, but playing for a group of drunk party goers - we survived.

Just saw someone demo that in a KZitem video and it was pretty cool for when you use reaper the way you are.

This is really neat - on the clocking thing, setting the UMC1820 as master is required because otherwise (I think) the AxeFX and the UMC will both try to be clock master. As you've got them connected over S/PDIF (which transmits clock from source to destination), if they're both trying to be master and the AxeFX is pushing clock over the S/PDIF connection, it won't line up with the UMC and although the UMC is *supposed* to recover clock from the Axe-FX, it's failing to do so. The other potential wrinkle is that the Axe-FX runs internally at 48k and doesn't have a 44.1 mode - so if you're passing it 44.1k clock from the Behringer, what it's actually doing is running everything 8% slow to match that external clocking. This is - as you've discovered with the wonky tuner - fine but has some side effects, like the tuner being wonky. You might also want to see if time-based effects are slightly longer than their nominal values, i.e. a 1000ms timed delay comes back at 1088ms wall-clock. If you're happy with the setup as-is, obviously keep it; if you run into problems when adding other (digital) devices, this may be the source. If you can bear the performance impact, switching Reaper and the UMC to run at 48k may be a good troubleshooting step. Going to 48k may cause some sounds to change a bit (e.g. chorus, flange, phase) as well, which is why if it's all working I'd not change it.

For programming you PC commands (or maybe CC commands, not sure what the Fractal responds to), you might look into a cheap midi controller. If you get a foot pedal floorboard type you could program it for the Fractal (unless they are using some kind of proprietary coding protocol), but just as importantly you can probably use it to program your MIDI commands into your DAW. I use Helix, so I’m using it to directly send MIDI CC into Ableton to “record” my foot switching “performance”. You should be able to do similarly with any programmable MIDI floorboard controller though. I set my DAW to record MIDI, then play the backing track and hit my switches just as I normally would manually. I don’t even have my guitar usually. When I’m done I just switch the track to send MIDI rather than receiving it and voila. Hope that makes sense, if not feel free to ask me for clarification.

We keep outs 1&2 as essentially an in-ears bus and that's the only place the click goes.

Interesting!

There's definitely lots of options out there, but I think we've struck the sweet spot of meeting what we need for the foreseeable future - I can't imagine, with where we're at as a band right now, looking at dropping any more money on a more robust system. Maybe once we start touring and hire more musicians. I do know a lot of people who use Ableton Live as well, but I haven't used it myself... Reaper has ruined me, man.

Correct - however this rig doubles as our in-ear monitoring system, we're sending outputs 1&2 to everyone's ears. This lets us preset all the monitoring levels before we even get to the gig and we won't have to bother the FOH engineer with mixing requests. And all three of us prefer click on the left :)

@theevanwilliamsproject

Guitars are done through the DAW, and I'll generally just run my vocals straight into FOH and get them to send it to the stage monitors. It's usually loud enough to be audible even with IEMs in. We've done shows where we've routed the vocals through the DAW and sent that to FOH, and shows where we've routed them through FOH and got a send from the board to route back into the DAW, but at the moment they're more trouble than it's worth - the former usually ends up getting us feedback because I can't anticipate where to set the vocal gate and comp for the venue, and the latter means we've gotta throw cables around and there's usually a bit of latency. These could of course just be our bad experiences, but it's happened enough that we just don't bother.

If I've understood your situation correctly, you want to be able to send the raw input from Channel 3 out to an outboard mixer? That can be accomplished by adding a hardware send on the kick track in Reaper to one of the other outputs on the UMC1820 and setting the send mode to "Pre-FX" which will send the raw signal out.

Thanks man! You -technically- could but you're going to be limiting yourself to either inputs 1+2 or 3+4 and not both at the same time.

The UM2 has direct monitoring if all you need is a single preamp -- but if all you want is a preamp you might be better off looking at a dedicated unit instead of an audio interface.

Fair, but flexibility was never the priority. We like to maximize the time we're given on stage and not leave any dead space, and pre-setting the entire setlist with automation and additional things like transitions between songs means once the train starts rolling we don't hit the brakes until the very end. If there's an interruption we can just hit pause, and I can't really imagine a situation where we'd have to change a set on the night. I'd much rather just hit play and get to thrash around enjoying the music for a strict 45 minutes than have to worry about going over time or dealing with another piece of hardware.

I haven't had many positive experiences with the M-Audio interfaces regarding drivers and compatibility; and the main issue I have with the Behringer interface is a bit of cross talk between inputs 1&2. If I'm looking at the right interface it seems to me that the 8-input M-Audio interface doesn't have options to expand, whereas the UMC1820 can connect to a number of preamps over ADAT to expand to more inputs. That would give it the edge for me - you never know when you're going to suddenly need even just one extra input. Latency really isn't much of an issue with the 1820. If I had a better computer I'm certain I could lower the ASIO Buffer quite low - for stability's sake I'm running it at 256 samples which is a barely noticeable amount of latency.

@theevanwilliamsproject
Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I'll go into a little more detail about that: For in ear monitoring, we just plug our headphones into the headphone amp on the front of the UMC1820 - Launey gets her own input and Isaac and I share the other. The option exists to have these headphone outs use DAW output 1&2 or 3&4, but for the sake of having more outputs on the rear we stick with 1&2 for both. So what we hear in our ears is a stereo master mix coming out from the DAW. In Reaper, I throw a bus compressor and limiter on the master track just so we don't get clipping, and I level match the backing tracks in advance with Reaper's built in LUFS normalization. So at this point we'll have a click on one track and backing tracks on another. I'll make a bus track that contains the backing tracks, the guitar input track, and the keys input track and I'll throw another bus compressor on there to smooth it out in our ears. Now, we could add a vocal input into the DAW, but I have found that it's almost impossible to dial in vocals in advance because I won't be able to anticipate what will sound good in the venue ( and what will or will not cause extreme feedback ). So this is actually the whole setup we bring to a gig -- we just use house gear for vocals and drums and get them to send those to us through a wedge. So we've got a half decent stereo mix coming into our ears from DAW 1&2; but we don't want to send click to FOH nor do we want to muck up the engineer's mix with all that compression I've been using. This is easily solved by going into the track send parameters on each track: you can choose to send a duplicate signal, pre-fader and pre-bus FX, out to any analogue output - and that's why we want all those outputs on the back. We can send stereo backing tracks down, say, outputs 3&4, then keys down 5, then guitar down 6; and those go straight to the FOH for the engineer to do with as they please :) This also saves us time because generally, we'll have dialed in our ears well in advance and will just have to turn them up a little bit at the actual gig. No shouting across the room to get more or less of whatever in our monitors!

Happy to! The UMC1820 has two headphone outs on the front panel and either can be configured to receive Hardware outs 1&2 or 3&4, so in theory I could make two submixes in Reaper and send them out on those sets of channels. Right now though for the sake of efficiency we've just been making one master mix that everyone is at least mostly happy with and sending it to everybody - Launz gets her own volume control and Isaac and I share the other with a y-cable. It's not ideal, but it's good enough for what we need it for. We are looking into expanding the IEMs a bit but it's a huge expense hurdle up from where we're at - the Behringer Powerplay system looks great and would use ADAT out from the 1820 for individual track mixing on everyone's personal mixer but that would be a bunch of extraneous gear wired in on stage to set up and tear down, and for three people we're easily into the thousands of dollars already. Wireless IEMs are a goal but mono IEMs suck and running three in stereo would come out of our total outputs which would hinder our ability to run things direct; the only way I really see us upgrading from this system is if we get an X32 rack and a set of wireless IEMs --- which is a massive investment for us, essentially requires that we assemble it in a larger rolling rack, and is WAY overkill when this setup just needs some extension cables and being careful not to trip.

That definitely works when you're looking at just outputting a stereo signal! When you're looking at including a click track for multiple musicians as well as processing keyboard and guitar effects and adding those to your output mix though you're going to run into some issues. You could pan the click to one side and the tracks and instruments to the other and use a splitter, but unless you've specifically mixed your tracks for mono playback summing them is going to remove a lot of the full-ness, and you'll have to pre-mix your instrument and track levels in the box before sending it to FOH. The gear in the video is the simplest (and cheapest) way I've found yet to have in-ear mixes for musicians and multiple distinct channels for the FOH engineer to mix properly - and it's evolved out of that need. You're correct in saying this would be unnecessary for solo musicians :)
