Is the X32 good for a small live band?

Yes. It has 32 channels, 16 XLR outs and scene memory, which covers most club and wedding bands. The main trade-off is its size and the time needed to learn the workflow.

How does it compare with the X32 Compact or Producer?

The full X32 has more faders and outputs than the Compact and Producer versions. If you rarely need many faders at once, the smaller models save space and weight with the same processing.

Can I record multitrack audio from it?

Yes. The built-in USB 2.0 interface sends channels to a computer for multitrack recording. You need a DAW and a stable USB connection; it is not a standalone recorder.

Does it have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?

No. App control works over a wired network or a router you supply, and there is no Bluetooth audio. Plan for a router if you want wireless tablet mixing.

The console ships with a power cable and basic documentation. You supply your own router, tablet and cables for networked or app control.

Is it worth it over an analogue mixer?

If you want scene recall, onboard effects and multitrack recording, the digital X32 offers far more per channel than a comparable analogue board. For a simple fixed setup, an analogue mixer is quicker to operate.
