Located on Sunset Strip in L.A., The Whisky A Go Go installed X32 consoles at Front of House and Monitor positions in 2013, upgrading from large analog consoles. The “Whisky A Go Go Collection” presets come straight from those X32 consoles, which serve are starting points for engineers – who often don’t get sound checks for the up to 6 bands that perform on any given night.

NYC’s Big Blue Meenie Collection:

Located just across the Hudson River from the heart of New York City, Big Blue Meenie is one of the oldest, largest and most prolific “Open for Hire” private production houses for rock music on the U.S. east coast. The “Big Blue Meenie Studios Collection” from studio owner and mix engineer Tim Gilles, frames a typical rock mix on the X32 and provides an extensive set of complete instrument channel strips and effects presets. These powerful presets give users an in-depth look at Tim’s favorite effects and channel strip settings on the X32.
