Quick Tips

• Unity Gain: 0 dB = 0.75 linear (neutral, no boost/cut)
• Safe Start: Begin with channel at -20 dB and muted
• Channel Colors: Use colors to organize (red=vocals, blue=drums, etc.)
• Bus Usage: 1-4 monitors, 5-6 FX sends, 7-8 recording, 9-16 IEM/matrix
• Network: X32 uses port 10023, connect to same network as computer
