OH MY GOD I have found a solution to an issue I've had with my #Behringer #XAir #XR18 audio mixer for YEARS now.

See, each channel has a compressor, and they support #sidechain/key input from another channel. Which is nice for a "ducking" setup: Dim the music while you're talking.

But it always triggered on a _mix_ of the actual channel's signal and the trigger signal (coming from another channel or bus). Which made it totally useless: The music dimmed when _it_ became too loud, too!

Hello,
Si vous êtes dans le #son à #Nantes, je me suis fait voler dans ma cave à Rezé :
- une console Behringer XR18 dans son sac avec quelques adaptateurs divers
- un boîtier de scène Behringer S16 dans un petit flight case fun generation
- une console vidéo ATEM Black Magic mini ISO dans un boîtier plastique renforcé noir

Le vol semble avoir été assez ciblé, donc si vous voyez passer ce genre de matériel…

One thing to say about #Behringer #XR18 - there are 2 kinds of users: Those who have been bitten in the ass using their built-in WiFi AP, and those who will be bitten in the ass by it. Use TP to connect, or connect your own AP from a reputable manufacturer.
I spent the initial portion of the morning mucking with #dhcpd so that one of my ethernet devices could assign a fixed ip to the #XR18 simply so i could use the mixer (X Air Edit) on my desktop. Big fun.

Things I'm learning whilst doing #DroneDay -

1) Place a compressor / limiter in using `calfjackhost` into your chain and connect everything coming out of your mixer into it and then this compressor / limiter to #Darkice, otherwise your stream is going to be weak / much too soft.

2) Check your mixing constantly if you have more than two (stereo) inputs destined for darkice. Have the mixer on screen in front of you at all times. I use the #XR18.

After a few months of deliberation, I purchased this apparatus, as recommended by @luka. I'm simply using it as a studio mixer / sound card for now, but am very pleased.
