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.

Turns FireWire Playback Streaming On/Off.
The FireWire Input button routes a playback stream
from your audio software to the StudioLive's channel
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 audio
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
