The recording is done in an endless loop with the current timestamp as the filename by running the rec utility. The X32 for example can be accessed by the name XUSB. If you are using another device, you need to identify the string that the other device reports by running aplay -l. The XR18 will identify itself to the operating system with the string X18XR18. On this stick the recordings should be stored in the directory XR18. I am using a USB stick named FILES that is automatically mounted during bootup by moode audio under the path /media/FILES. Please change the path in FILENAME to the location where you want the recordings to be stored. Now create a new shell script named recorder.sh in /home/pi with the following contents: #!/bin/bash while doįILENAME =/media/FILES/XR18/ $( date + "%Y%m%d_%H%M" ).mp3ĪUDIODEV = "hw:X18XR18,0" rec -q -buffer 262144 -c 2 -C 256 $FILENAME silence 1 0.1 2% 1 3:00 2% gain -9 || exit $? # Remove file if nothing has been recorded FILESIZE = $( du -sb $FILENAME | cut -f 1 ) if then

So log in to your Raspberry via SSH and run this command: sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-mp3

The following steps can be done on a plain Raspbian distribution or on moode audio or most probably any other Debian based Rapsberry Pi distribution.įirst we need to install required software packages. Now we are all set for working on the recording side. In moode audio you just need to enable USB audio output and you will be able to play audio through your XR18 without any other configuration changes. This is what my USB Returns mapping looks like:

By mapping the USB return to FX4 L/R, I free up the Aux Stereo Channel for other uses. I only need 3 send FX, so my FX4 is configured as an insert effect and therefore does not need return channels. I usually map them to Aux L/R and FX4 L/R. USB return channels 1 and 2 also need to be mapped to XR18 channels. The Pre EQ setting will achieve just that and has the added benefit that changes to the master volume will also not be reflected on the recording. So I don’t want to have this EQ on the recording. My Main LR EQ is always trimmed for the room.

You can choose any mode you like but I prefer Pre EQ. So go to In/Out, select USB Sends and select Main LR for USB1 and USB2. Make sure to send the Main LR bus on USB1 and USB2. Let’s start with some pointers on setting up the XR18 for moode audio and recording.

With a small bash script it is possible to create an automatic recorder that will record mp3 files whenever audio is playing on the XR18. In the end I settled on a Raspberry Pi 3 which is running the audio player distribution moode audio and is connected via USB to the XR18. Therefore I thought about possible ways to work around this missing feature. One thing that I found missing compared to the X32 is the ability to record 2 channels directly to a usb stick. Recently I have switched from a Behringer X32 mixer to the smaller XR18 as I am a big fan of the small stage box type form factor and I can usually get by with using 16 channels.
