I'm using both as well.
I tried using X32Reaper app from Patrick - but it was not quite right for my workflow.
I had been using an MCU for mixing and like working with groups of 8..
My current setup has me using:
- DAW Control of x32 (mcu emulation) - with Klinke's awesome mcu control surface. I had to add a few controls to go in and out of folders.
- 26 Audio inputs - 8 drums mics, 4-5 vocal mics, Bass, 2 keys, electric guitar, acoustic, mando, etc...
- vocal and drums are recorded pre-fader printing some limiting comp and lite eq - where needed
- FX busses for a couple of reverbs on monitoring (1 for vocals and 1 for instruments) - I also record these just in case I like them.
- Monitor to headphone amp straight from the board (no added latency from reaper)
Mix - in the box (Reaper) adding eq/comp/gate verb etc... using the daw control section.
I'm also using the x32 mix app on the ipad - works pretty good - when I am at the drums
I also tried using the x32-q app to give people "more-me" monitoring mix - with separate headphone mixes - this got too cumbersome to troubleshoot "I can't hear the bass" when I am not on the same headphone mix. Then training others to use the x32-q mix app was challenging.
Most were like "let's just jam". So I went back to 1 headphone mix for all.
I wish I could say this was easy to setup... I wish I could say I'm done tweaking this - but sometimes that is also the fun part.
I am playing while tracking so I don't get a chance to mix on the fly.
