As I see it there are three ways to connect a Behringer X32 mixer to VMIX.
1) Do all of the audio mixing on the X32 and give VMIX a stereo feed. simple, but not optimal if you need to modify the feed based on which video camera is operating. e.g. turn off audio channel 2 when camera two is off. Or you need one person on VMIX and one on the mixing board in constant communication.
2) Send all, up to 8 and possibly more, audio channels to VMIX. X32 sends channels in blocks of 8. Can VMIX separate those into individual audio inputs? And would VMIX be able to adjust and/or mute that many individual inputs based on scene?
3) Send a few individual channels, up to 6, to VMIX. I'm sure VMIX can handle 3 pairs of faders. But if we're down to three pairs of audio inputs there's probably a far more cost effective solution than X32?

the audio source for each ASIO input is determined by the routing inside the X32 (which has traditionally been done in groups of 8), however you dont need to use groups of 8 inputs in software.. for example you could have ASIO channels 1-16 as X32's XLRs, ASIO 17-32 could be the X32 buss mixes.. then if you added 4 audio inputs in vMix using ASIO 1 to 3 and ASIO 17&18 you would have three mono microphones and one stereo X32 mix as inputs in vMix.. also the block of 8 doesnt exist anymore anyway as X32 firmware update has provided 1:1 routing now..
if you want to mix audio from sources such as cameras with microphones you can send camera audio to vMix busses and use those busses as input sources for X32 mixer channels... then do the all mixing inside X32 and route the mix back as stereo to vMix and adjust sync to match the cameras..

Hi MTONE - We're probably doing it wrong. You're saying you can add individual VMIX audio inputs tied to individual ASIO channels? We're only seeing blocks on 8 on the VMIX side, not individual channels, and we don't know what to do with blocks of 8 in VMIX. Alternatively there is something we can do on the X32 side to get up to 3 stereo pairs sent over to VMIX. We have the latest (the only) X-USB ASIO driver installed on the VMIX machine.

I dont have the X-USB card i have the X-Live one but it should look something like this..  vmix-x32.jpg (76kb) downloaded 0 time(s).

Huge thanks for that MTONE. Your visual made us realize we missed seeing something that was there in front of us all along. We've got 32 channels coming over now as we expected all along. Same old X-USB ASIO driver, just clicking the wrong thing.
