VSL Controls: Definitions and Uses

A quick note on playback streams: The channels labeled "DAW" in VSL carry a playback
stream from your host application (or DAW). Traditionally, if you want to route a track in your
DAW to a physical output on your interface, you assign this output in your host application.
Because the Virtual StudioLive application provides much more flexible routing, you can
now route this same track to one output or every output, by itself or as part of a mix.

VSL is a powerful application that allows you to create monitor mixes
using all of the processing features of a StudioLive 16.0.2 digital mixer.
These monitor mixes are not recorded in your host application. It is vital
to remember that lowering the channel fader in VSL will not lower the
signal in your host application, so it is possible to clip the recording
without clipping the monitor mix. You must set the level for the
recording using the trim knobs on the face of the AudioBox 22/44VSL.
Enables / Disables VSL Mixing
Your AudioBox offers two flexible monitoring methods. When
the VSL On/Off button is disengaged, your AudioBox relies on
the analog Mixer knob on the front panel of the unit to blend
between the analog inputs and playback from your DAW.
When VSL is turned on, you need to turn the Mixer knob to the "VSL"
position so that all mixing is done digitally in your computer.
