Configuring Your StudioLive for
3.3.5
Core (Mac only)
Your StudioLive can be used as the main Core Audio device for you Mac, and you can route the
main outputs of your Mac to any of its available output streams. By default these streams are routed
to Channels 1 and 2 on your StudioLive. The obvious limitation of this is that you will use up two
input channels on your StudioLive just for Core Audio playback. Channels 17 and 18 are available
through the FireWire Return buttons inside the 2 Track In and Monitor Sections on your StudioLive.
It is recommended that you use these channels instead for Core Audio playback. The following
instructions will help you configure your StudioLive to be used as the main audio playback device
for your Mac.
1) Go to MacHD | Applications | Utilities and launch
Audio MIDI setup.
2) Click on the Configure Speakers button.
3) Deselect Stream 1 and select Stream 2 instead.
4) In the same window, click on Multichannel and select
your Speaker Configuration from the pull down menu
(i.e. Stereo).
5) Choose Channel 17 for the left speaker and Channel
18 for the right speaker.
When you are finished, click Apply and then Done.
Your StudioLive will now monitor the Main Output for
your Mac through the FireWire return buttons in the
2 Track In and Monitor Sections.
