and Studio One Artist
The StudioLive 16.0.2 is more than just a mixer. It's also a very powerful
computer interface that allows you to record all of your mixer inputs at
once as well as your main or monitor mixes. You can even control the
mixer from a separate laptop computer via Virtual StudioLive (VSL).
3.1 Installing the Driver and VSL
For complete information, see Section 6.2 - 6.3 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
After you insert the Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive, the StudioLive
installer will take you through each step of the installation process. The
bundled installer will install the FireStudio-family driver and Universal
Control application on your computer. Please read each message carefully,
ensuring especially that you do not connect your StudioLive too soon.
Before beginning the StudioLive installation setup, please close
all applications, disable antivirus software, and disconnect the
StudioLive from your computer. After the installation is successfully
completed, don't forget to reenable your antivirus protection!
We made the StudioLive installer as simple and easy to follow as possible.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. When the
installer has finished, it will prompt you to reboot your computer.
Click "Finish" to automatically restart your computer. Once your
computer has rebooted, connect the StudioLive.
3.2 Using the StudioLive as an Audio Interface
For complete information , see Section 6.4 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
Your StudioLive features a 16x16 FireWire interface. Any input can be

recorded with any audio-recording application that supports Core
Audio or ASIO. It is important to note that your StudioLive uses the same
Español
driver as the PreSonus FireStudio family of interfaces, so its driver will be
displayed as "PreSonus FireStudio" in all driver-selection menus.

To ensure the safety of the audio equipment connected to it, the StudioLive will
mute all outputs for two seconds when the sample rate is changed and while it is

connecting to a computer. Because of this, it very important that the sample rate
be selected and locked in prior to beginning any recording or performance.

3.2.2 FireWire Sends and Returns
For complete information, see Section 6.4.2 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
When using the StudioLive as an audio interface, it is important to
understand the terms "FireWire send" and "FireWire return. " Because
the audio interface in the StudioLive is completely integrated with the
other functions of the mixer, the FireWire I/O is designed to work as an
independent bus. Your StudioLive has 16 available sends and 16 returns.
FireWire sends 1 through 16 are hard-coded to be sent pre-fader from the
16 input channels of the StudioLive. Unlike the mix bus on your StudioLive,
the FireWire sends of the right inputs of each of the Stereo channels are
active whether or not Stereo Link is engaged for that channel.
Each of the StudioLive's 16 inputs are hardcoded to receive their respective FireWire
returns. Outputs 1 through 16 in your recording application route these playback
streams to their respective channels on the StudioLive (that is, the software's
Output 1 always goes to StudioLive's Channel 1 input and so on). Once you route
a track in your recording application to play through one of these outputs, it will
always be accessible on its channel by simply pressing the FireWire Input button.
The FireWire returns to the stereo channels behave just as the analog
inputs do. So, if you have Channel 11/12 unlinked, only FireWire return
11 will be heard on that channel. Once you engage Stereo Link for
Channel 11/12, both FireWire returns 11 and 12 will be heard.
Power User Tip: It is important to think of your FireWIre returns just like your analog
inputs. When a FireWire return is engaged, it replaces the analog input in the mix. You
can process in the Fat Channel, include in Aux mixes, and send it to an FX mix.
To provide a flexible mixing environment, the main mix output for any application
should be assigned to Outputs 1 and 2. These FireWire returns are hard-coded both
to Channels 1 and 2 and to the FireWire input buttons in the Monitor section of the
StudioLive. In this way, you can monitor the main output from your recording
application without sacrificing Channels 1 and 2's analog inputs.
3.3 Virtual StudioLive
For complete information, see Section 7.1 - 7. 2 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
Virtual StudioLive (VSL) is an advanced editor/librarian and control application that
is completely integrated with the StudioLive 16.0.2. Because of the continuous
bidirectional communication between your StudioLive and VSL, whatever you
do on the StudioLive's control surface will be reflected in VSL and vice versa.
VSL for StudioLive 16.0.2 requires a minimum screen resolution
of 1024x768. For vertical resolutions set below 768, VSL will
dynamically change the channel faders to knobs.
To launch VSL, open Universal Control and click on the StudioLive device button.
