Clocksource Changes the Clock Source for Chained FireStudio-family Devices.
The StudioLive cannot slave to an external clock. However, if you are
cascading it with FireStudio-family products that do feature digital inputs,
the clock source becomes selectable.
The clock source setting will determine where the device chain is
receiving word-clock information. This keeps the chained devices
in sync with other digital devices and with each other. The menu
options are determined by the available digital inputs in the chain.
In general, you will want the StudioLive to be your Master
Clock, in which case set the clock to StudioLive-Internal.
Operation Mode Changes How the StudioLive Driver's Buffer Size is Set.
Normal Mode. Input and Output buffers are both identical to the Buffer
Size setting.
Safe Mode 1-3. Increases the output buffer size for added stability.
Buffer Size Selector (PC only) Changes the StudioLive Buffer Size.
You can set the buffer size from 64 to 4,096 samples. The buffer size
determines the roundtrip time it takes audio data to be converted from
analog to digital and back to analog. As a general rule, the higher the
buffer size, the better the system performance, but the less playable
virtual instruments and the like become. In general, 512 samples (11 to 12
milliseconds) will provide you with a large enough buffer for optimum
system performance, but low enough to be unobtrusive. You should set
your buffer size and sample rate prior to launching your host application.
On the Mac, the buffer size is set from inside your host application.

SOFTWARE: Universal Control, Capture, and Studio One Artist
Settings: Check Firmware Scans Your StudioLive and Updates the Firmware.
A firmware updater is built into the Universal Control application.
Periodically, a driver update will require that the firmware on your
StudioLive be updated. Whenever you install an update for the Universal
Control or add a new FireStudio-family product to your system, you
should use this feature to ensure that the firmware is up to date. If the
firmware needs to be updated, the update application will launch
automatically.
The firmware updater can also be used to reset your StudioLive 24.4.2
to factory default. To reset your StudioLive, hold down the CTRL and
ALT [OPTION] keys while clicking on "Check Firmware." Once the
firmware updater has finished, select "Reset" rather than "Restore."
Settings: Run at Startup Launches the Universal Control Application Automatically on Startup
(Windows Only).
When this is enabled, the Universal Control application will automatically
launch each time you boot your Windows PC.
Settings: Always on Top Allows the Launch Window to Stay in View When Other Applications Are in Use.
When this is enabled, the Launch window will remain in the foreground
when other applications are active, rather than being in the background
behind the current application's window.
