Click on the Inputs tab in the Audio I/O Setup window, and you will
see all of the available inputs on your FireStudio. At this time, you
can add the number and type of inputs you plan to use. We
recommend that you create a mono input for each of the 26 inputs on
your FireStudio. If you plan on recording in stereo, you should also
create a stereo bus and assign it to the appropriate set of inputs. You
can remove any bus by simply selecting it and clicking the remove
button. To customize the name of your buses, double-click on the
default name to open a text box. When you have finished typing, hit
Enter.
If you would like the same inputs to be available every time you
launch Studio One Artist, click the "Make Default" button.
Click on the Outputs tab, and you will see all of the available outputs
on your FireStudio. At this time, you can add the number of output
buses to which you would like to have access and can give them
custom names.
In the lower right corner, you will see the Audition select menu. This
allows you to choose the ouput from which you will audition audio
files prior to importing them into Studio One Artist. In general, you
will want this to be the Main Out bus.
If you would like this output configuration available every time you
launch Studio One Artist, click the Make Default button.
