I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but did others know that you can reroute the X32s busses and fx back through any of the 32 channels?
I've been using this to get 2 stages of compression (normal + sidechain compression) on my bass, and to get my fully bussed drums bus able to send to the shared fx (reverb + delay).
Reflecting on this, I can see you could use it to also get 2 stages of compression on a vocalist as well (de-ess + normal), which is pretty cool. I'm going to try that...
This board for me is amazing- I'm not the greatest engineer of course, but it feels like you really can put together a full mix on it- while playing live. I use the 1176 and the limiter to good effect for what I'm doing- (boom bap 90s style hip hop). I have tested the LA-2 and Passive EQ and they sound great though I don't use them in my current fx slots. Others elsewhere on here have said they are quite good.
I have the rack version of this in a 3u travel case and swear by it in any situation. I use a TP-Link AC750 Travel Router with the iPad and find it to be extremely consistent and responsive- router quality definitely matters.
any desk, analog or digital, which allows to route channels (to auxes/subgroups and on) to matrices can get used for applying multiple stages of dynamic (or other) processing - if not, parallel processing is an alternative...
...and then there are professional desks which have multiple stages of dynamic processing built-in by default so you don't need to 'waste' auxes/groups/matrices for this purpose and without the latency penalty that inevitably comes with bus to bus routing.
