When using the StudioLive as an audio interface, it is important to
understand the terms "FireWire send" and "FireWire return. " Because
the audio interface in the StudioLive is completely integrated with the
other functions of the mixer, the FireWire I/O is designed to work as an
independent bus. You can route (send) signals from other buses to the
FireWire bus, and its output, or return, signal is hard-coded to designated
mixer channels. Your StudioLive has 32 available sends and 26 returns.
FireWire sends 1-24 are hardcoded to be sent pre-fader from the 24 input
channels of the StudioLive. These sends can be pre- or post-Fat Channel EQ and
dynamics. To record the EQ and dynamics processing on any channel, simply
enable the Dig Out button. It will illuminate, indicating that the Fat Channel
signal path is being routed to the FireWire send. If this mode is not enabled, the
signal sent via FireWire will be post-trim and post-analog insert (if applicable). As
discussed in Section 4.5.1, the Dig Out button is not operable for the subgroups,
main outputs, aux bus, internal FX returns, and aux inputs. The subgroups,
main outputs, and aux inputs are also sent post-fader to their FireWire sends.
FireWire sends 25-32 are routed in 4 stereo pairs from the
Universal Control Device window. Any combination of four
of the following inputs and buses can be selected:
• Main Mix Left / Right
• Subgroup 1 & 2
• Subgroup 3 & 4
• Aux Send 1 & 2
• Aux Send 3 & 4
• Aux Send 5 & 6
• Aux Send 7 & 8
