Input Channel Strip

The StudioLive is equipped with all of the standard input controls of an analog mixer. In addition,
the StudioLive provides the added flexibility of routing a playback stream from your audio recording
software to the mixer via the FireWire bus, just as if it were an analog input. This lets you incorporate
digital audio tracks into the main mix as well as inserting plug-in effects and software instruments
from your audio program.

The FireWire Input button routes a playback stream from

inputs, where it is routed and processed the same way as
analog input signals. For example, if you want a particular
recorded track to play back on mixer channel 3, simply
route that track in your recording software to StudioLive
Output 3. This button can also be used to insert a plug-in
effect into the mix. For more information on this feature,
please review section (3.3.2).
Do not engage this button when your StudioLive is not
connected and synced to a computer.
