Standalone Operation; Quick Start Up With Cubase Le - PRESONUS FIRESTUDIO User Manual

2 Installation and Hardware Overview

2.3 Standalone Operation

Your FIRESTUDIO is capable of operating in Stand Alone mode without a computer.
The settings you make in the FIRESTUDIO Control Console application will be stored
in flash memory on the FIRESTUDIO itself, allowing you to disconnect the FireWire
connection from your computer and use any routing setup or hardware setting already
made.
Here's an example:
If you are tracking a live show, you could route all of your inputs to analog or
digital outputs (using the FIRESTUDIO Control Console) to feed a hard-disk
recorder or other recorder for backup. If your computer stops working for any
reason, your backup recording will be unaffected, as all of the routing you've
created has been stored in flash memory in the FIRESTUDIO. This eliminates
the need for a more elaborate live recording setup involving splitter snakes, etc.
2.4 Cubase LE Quick Start Up
Use the included Cubase LE installation CD to install Cubase LE. Proceed through the
installation as it prompts you. Make sure to keep the CD envelope sleeve handy to
reference the serial number during installation.
1. Once Cubase LE is installed, launch Cubase LE. First you must set Cubase LE
