Behringer X-LIVE X32 Expansion Card for 32-Channel SD SDHC Card and USB Recording

If your looking at this you should know what it does and doesn't do already. I can say if you down reading reviews, it works great and easy to install and use.

This card should just be included with new X32s to begin with. I bought this so I could record our band's rehearsals for review of song arrangements between rehearsals. Installation couldn't be simpler. I have the SD cards on order so we'll see how it goes. From what I've read it works perfectly. As others have indicated, this card only gives you bulk record capabilities. It doesn't turn your X-32 into a DAW. Punch in/outs, overdubs, etc. are not doable with this card. But really, you should be doing that in your DAW anyway. This card just makes it easy to capture the audio, and tag it so you can edit it down later in your DAW, which suits my use case just fine. I did not add the CR123A battery backup in the card because I have the mixer on a battery backup power supply. Plus it's not mission critical if the recording didn't complete correctly because of a power outage. That would be the least of my concerns on a live gig.

Awesome tool for live recording on M/X32 consoles. Setup instructions difficult to follow. After a simple installation, it took me over an hour to get a something recorded that I could play back due to the patching options.

Should have come with lithium battery

Absolutely a Game changer... Especially for Drummers looking to record without a ton of equipment or Live tracking at Shows is just amazing and crystal clear.

Very easy to use.

Great multi-track direct recording to SD cards and what appears to be lower latency performance than I was getting with the original factory usb card.

So I purchased the X Live, and everything worked well. I needed to update my firmware on the board and that worked well, but I noticed my card didn’t work anymore. The SD card slot still works well, but the USB port does not work. I wish that Behringer supported older products better. The X32 was my go-to board for years, but Allen and Heath is looking better and better these days. *Edit: I just did a multitrack recording to an SD card, and the card said it was recording. Upon opening the files in Reaper, it never recorded. I have 32 tracks of empty audio. This card is complete trash!
