What Makes the TouchMix-30 “Pro”?
Larger screen for better hands-on operation
With a large 10″ multi-touch screen, the TouchMix-30 Pro provides ample room for hands-on control. It also offers better visual feedback and more on-screen information. You’ll spend more time mixing and less time navigating the interface.
Anti-feedback and room tuning on demand
The TouchMix-30 Pro features advanced wizards to help you quickly set up anti-feedback protection as well as tune the room. You could achieve similar results by manually tuning the graphic EQs and other processors built into the TouchMix-30 Pro, but why spend time on that when you’ve got a show to prepare for? These setup wizards will help you achieve optimal sound in any environment faster than ever.
Real-time audio analysis
Two Real Time Analyzers are available on the TouchMix-30 Pro, and you can display them either on the main display or on a supported tablet. One RTA can be displayed along with the EQ of any selected input or output channel. The other RTA can display the audio signal of any output, the Cue bus, or the Talkback mic input. When it comes to diagnosing sonic problems in the middle of a show, these analysis tools can be a huge help.
Advanced recording capabilities
To help make your live sound rig as sleek and efficient as possible, the TouchMix-30 Pro allows you to record the show without requiring a computer. Just connect an appropriate hard drive via USB for 32 channels of multitrack recording and playback, direct to disk with no DAW software required. If a Mac laptop with DAW software is your preferred recording method, the TouchMix-30 Pro can also serve as a 32-channel audio interface for your DAW of choice.
Comprehensive Mixing and Routing Capabilities
Subgroups simplify large mixing tasks
The TouchMix-30 Pro supports eight subgroups, which can greatly simplify mixing 32 channels of audio. And each subgroup offers 6-band fully parametric EQ, variable highpass and lowpass filters, and a limiter for dynamics control. You’ll also be able to set up eight DCA groups and eight Mute groups.
Re-route inputs to channels fast
The touch-and-route Patch Matrix on the TouchMix-30 Pro makes input rerouting a snap. You’ll be able to route inputs to channels, “mult” input channels to output channels, and rearrange inputs fast and efficiently.
Channel presets provide mix-ready settings
There are over 120 presets for live instruments, microphones, and other audio sources in the TouchMix-30 Pro. These presets are perfect for helping novices achieve better-sounding mixes and are a great way for pros to save time during show setup. Once you’ve selected a preset, you’ll be able to tweak any of the pre-set processors to fine-tune your mix.
Plenty of outputs for monitor mixes
In addition to the main mix outputs, the TouchMix-30 Pro packs 14 mono outputs that can also be linked for stereo operation. And in addition to these mix outputs, there are two more stereo outputs that can drive wired in-ear monitors directly — no separate headphone management system required.
Wi-Fi for Wireless Mixing
Mix while walking the room
With your tablet or smartphone, you can adjust virtually every parameter on the TouchMix-30 Pro mixer from anywhere in the venue. The free TouchMix Control App for iOS and Android controls all mixer parameters, making it easy to walk the room or tweak monitor mixes from the stage.
Performers can control their own monitor mix
Using the TouchMix Control App, musicians can mix their own monitor mixes with their tablet or smartphone. In this application, the app controls will be limited to mix levels only, eliminating the possibility of other mixer settings being changed without your knowledge.
Simplify tablet mixing by limiting controls
One of the most powerful aspects of wireless mixing with the TouchMix-30 Pro is that you could have multiple mix engineers running different mixes from various positions. The FOH can manage the main mix from anywhere in the room, while musicians or other engineers build monitor mixes at different stations. Of course, you’ll want to make sure that no one is working at cross-purposes. The TouchMix Control App allows you to limit the controls available on any specific device. That means you can hand a tablet to an assistant and have them tweak EQ settings on the monitors, for example, without worrying that they will inadvertently make unwanted changes to your mix.
Live Multitrack Recording Made Simple
Record 32 channels direct to disk
You don’t need a separate computer running DAW software to capture a multitrack recording of your show. Connect an appropriate external hard drive via USB to the TouchMix-30 Pro, and you’re ready to record all 32 inputs direct to disk. You can play back audio tracks from the external hard drive too.
32-channel USB audio interface
If you prefer to track directly into your DAW with your Mac computer, the TouchMix-30 Pro still has you covered. Connect your Mac via USB to record directly into Pro Tools, Logic, Studio One, or any other DAW software.
Complete your mix with TouchMix-30 Pro
The TouchMix-30 Pro makes multitrack recording so easy, why not finish your mix right from the TouchMix too? You can play back the multitrack recording from your external hard drive; apply EQ, compression, effects, and other processing; and record the main stereo mix back to the hard drive.
