1. In the upper left corner of the Arrange window, you
will notice several buttons. The middle button is the
Add Tracks button. Click this button to bring up the
Add Tracks window.
2. In the Add Tracks window, you can select the
number and type of tracks you'd like to create
(Mono Audio, Stereo Audio, Instrument, or
Automation) and can customize the track name
and color.
3. Once you have added your tracks, you can assign the
input by simply clicking on the input to which a track is
currently assigned. This will bring up the inputs list. You
can also access the audio I/O setup from here.
4. If you would like to add a track for each of the available
inputs and have the routing automatically assigned,
simply go to Track | Add Tracks for All Inputs.
5. To begin recording, create an audio track, assign it
to input 1, and connect a microphone to the first
channel on the StudioLive. Select Record Enable on
your track in Studio One Artist. Turn up the Channel
1 fader while speaking/singing into the microphone.
You should see the input meter in Studio One Artist
react to the input. Adjust the gain so the input level
is near its maximum without clipping (distorting).
6. Connect a set of headphones to the StudioLive
headphone output and select the Main button in
the Monitor section on your StudioLive. You may
also wish to connect monitors to the StudioLive's
control-room outputs. You are now ready to record.
For complete instructions, please consult the
Studio One Reference Manual, which is located
on your Studio One Artist installation DVD.

Creating MIDI Tracks

7. Click on the Add Tracks button. When the Add Tracks window launches,
select Instrument as the track format and click the OK button.
8. To assign your MIDI input, click on the MIDI Inputs list and select your
external sound module.
If you have added virtual inputs to your session,
you will also see them as available inputs.
If you selected your MIDI keyboard controller as the default keyboard,
it will already be selected. If not, choose your MIDI controller from the
Output menu directly below.
9. To the left of the Add Track button, you will find the Inspector button.
Click it to display more parameters for the selected track.
10. At the bottom of the Inspector menu, you will see your Bank and
Program selections. From here, you can remotely change the patch on
your sound module.
MIDI data does not contain audio signals. To hear your sound
module, you must connect the audio output of the sound
module to a StudioLive input, then connect the StudioLive's
audio outputs to a sound system. (You also can listen on
headphones, using the headphone output.) When you are
ready to mix your Song, you must convert the recorded MIDI
data to an audio waveform by recording a new audio track.
