Im new to mixers in general and I want a cost effective solution for controlling different rooms with an ipad or pc. Mostly just volume level for each room.

Can this be done with the aux outs of the Behringer X Air XR18 it does only has one main out.

Or do you guys know any other cheap solution for this?

you need a zone controller.... something like the Adastra Rz45 won't break the bank....it has bluetooth and USB conectivity as well as inputs for wall mounted control panels.

Maybe a Behringer X32 Rack is a good way to go?

Yes .  Aux outs are very often  used to feed stage monitors/"zones". If all the individual channels aux levels are set to "10"and are set to post fade they will respond the same as the main outs , you lower the channel fader and all levels will drop . you would use the aux master faders to adjust relative zone levels.  adding channel compression/limiting on the inputs it should look after the system

Sorry about that, I realised once I'd posted....

 another contender is possibly the Soundcraft Ui24R or Ui16

In your opening post you said you mainly just needed to control the volume of each zone.
