I've broken this down into overall chapters, although there is some crossover in the information between chapters.

The DCA and Subgroup background information is cross-platform type audio mixing information. Even though they are being demonstrated on an X-Air (Behringer XR18), the concepts of DCA's and Subgroups remain the same no matter the console. The setup examples, on the other hand, are Behringer / Midas specific and shown on X-Air PC Edit software (though Mac, Android (Mix Station), and iPad work as well).

Setup is identical between the XR/MR digital consoles, and their big brother- the Behringer X32 and Midas M32. Especially when using the X-Air Edit software and the X32's X-Edit software (M-Edit and M-Air-Edit for Midas), although V4 firmware has also made the console GUI very similar to the software GUI as well.

The X/M digital consoles do have more busses and DCA's, which is one of the limitations, and differences, between them and the X-Air mixers, but overall concepts for audio uses remain the same.
