Prep and practice with no console in the room

Behringer’s X32-Edit and Midas’s M32-Edit are free official editors that behave like the console. TalkBoard treats them as a virtual console: every command that works on the hardware works there — on your kitchen table.

What prep looks like

“Name channels 1 through 16 from the input list — and color the drums yellow, vocals blue.” — the whole patch sheet, a few sentences
“Build mute groups for band, vocals and playback.”
“High-pass all the vocal channels at 120 and turn on 48 volts for the condensers.”
“Save this as the Friday night scene.” — lay out scenes before you ever reach the venue

At the venue: loading your prepped show file onto the real console is X32-Edit/M32-Edit’s own built-in feature, exactly as Behringer and Midas designed it. TalkBoard’s part was making the prep fast.

Show prep

Festival patch at midnight? Name, route, EQ and scene the whole show in the hotel, then load it at the venue.

The honest fine print: Virtual-console support covers X32-Edit and M32-Edit only — there is no equivalent for the Yamaha QL/CL or Allen & Heath Qu editors (on those, TalkBoard controls the real console over the network). X32-Edit and M32-Edit are free downloads from Behringer and Midas; TalkBoard itself is free to try (15 demo requests), then $5–$20/month. The AI needs internet even when the console is virtual.

Pricing: free to try with 15 demo requests, then Basic $5, Pro $10 or Unlimited $20 per month — tax included. Full pricing details →

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Is this really free to try?

X32-Edit and M32-Edit are free downloads from Behringer and Midas. TalkBoard gives you 15 free demo requests; after that it’s $5, $10 or $20 per month, tax included.

Do I need any console hardware?

Not for prep or practice. TalkBoard controls X32-Edit or M32-Edit running on your computer exactly as it would a real console.

Does this work for Yamaha QL/CL or Allen & Heath Qu editors?

No — virtual-console support covers X32-Edit and M32-Edit only. On the QL, CL and Qu, TalkBoard controls the real console over the network.

Will my prepped file work on the real console?

Loading show files onto the console is X32-Edit/M32-Edit’s own built-in feature. TalkBoard’s job is making the prep itself fast — the file transfer is the editor’s, as designed by the manufacturer.
