FireWire streaming on your StudioLive is continuously bidirectional. This means
that the StudioLive is always sending signals from the direct FireWire sends on
all 16 input channels. At the same time, the StudioLive is receiving signals back
from the 16 FireWire returns. Because the FireWire returns always come back
to their respective StudioLive channels, you can quickly insert a plug-in from
your recording application into any channel strip and monitor it in real time.
In this example, we will insert the Beat Delay plug-in from
PreSonus Studio One onto Channel 1 of the StudioLive.
To begin, create a mono audio track in Studio One. Assign its input to Channel 1 and
its output to Output 1. (Several DAW applications, including Apple Logic™, do not
offer mono output buses. If this is the case, you must route the output stream to
Channels 1-2 and pan the channel all the way to the left so that it will only be sent
to Output 1. Please consult your software's user manual for specific instructions.)
2. Once you have the routing set up in Studio One,
Press the FireWire Return Mode button on your StudioLive, and then press Channel
1's MultiMode button of your StudioLive. You can now monitor your analog signal
with your inserted effect as you record from any of the output buses on the
StudioLive.

drag-and-drop the Beat Delay plug-in onto your track
and record-enable it. Software monitoring will be
enabled automatically.
