7.1 Creating a New Session for Recording
Your StudioLive mixer has audio recording and playback abilities that can come
in very handy, especially in a live sound context. You can record multi-track live
performances to an SD card for later use. Also, you can play back multi-track
audio from previously recorded performances, for use as a "virtual sound check, "
allowing you to dial in your mix even when the band isn't around.
To begin the process of recording or playing back a performance, press the Edit
button in the Live Recording control section, which brings up the Live Recording
Edit screen on the touchscreen.
This screen is the starting point for recording or playing back a live performance on
an SD card and allows you to create new sessions, load saved sessions from your SD/
SDHC card, and test your SD/SDHC card's speed.
Before beginning any multitrack recording, it is recommended that you format
your SD/SDHC card in FAT32 format, even if your card was formatted prior to being
packaged. There are several utilities that allow you to format your SD/SDHC card.
Please note: The StudioLive Series III mixers support both SD and SDHC cards up to 32 GB.
Tested and approved models and brands can be found at www.PreSonus.com.
The first time you insert your SD/SDHC card, you should perform a Speed Test. This
simple test can take several minutes, depending on card speed, and will tell you the
transfer rate of your card, as well as the amount of simultaneous tracks you can
reliably record.
Power User Tip: Your StudioLive is also equipped with a USB audio interface to record and
play back from a computer. For more information about recording on a computer, please
review the StudioLive Software Library Reference Manual.
When the Live Performance Edit screen is displayed on the touchscreen, you can
create a new live recording Session by touching New Session on the touchscreen.
This brings up the New Session screen.
In this screen, you can enter the artist's name, a name for the performance
(venue, date, etc.), and the location of the performance, to help you keep track of
various live recordings. If you touch the Artist, Performance, or Location field
on the touchscreen, an onscreen keyboard is shown, to let you enter the required
information.
