SOFTWARE —Universal Control, Capture and StudioLive Artist
Tracking is the first stage of audio production. The following chapter
discusses aspects of recording tracks in Capture, including Session
creation and setup, Audio Tracks and Events, and more.
A Session is the document type in which all
recording takes place in Capture. To create a
new Session, do one of the following:
1. From the Start page, click on the New Session button.
2. Navigate to File/New Session.
3. Press [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+N on the keyboard.
Session Setup
When a new Session is created, a setup menu with
the following options will pop up:
Session Title
This will be the title of your Session. This name will be the
Session file name (Title.Session), as well as the name of the new
folder that contains all data related to your Session.
Session Location
This is where new Sessions and all related data will be saved. The Session location
can be chosen each time you create a Session. By default, the new Session
location will be the Capture folder. You can choose a different file location by
clicking on the Browse button and browsing to a new location. The last known
save location will appear as the default the next time you create a new Session.
Before recording anything in Capture, please
take a moment to be sure your StudioLive mixer
is properly connected to the computer via
FireWire and that Capture displays the StudioLive
as your audio device on the Start page.
When the StudioLive mixer is not connected to
the computer successfully, Capture will display
"No Audio Device" in the Audio Device window.
