Hi all,

If you haven't already, check out the quick start guide or the manual for the X32, and download the iPad/iPhone apps and also available on the PC/Mac through Behringer website. You can also edit your shows or scenes beforehand at home and simply load them in when you come in to mix with the PC/Mac app.
