each corresponding input channel on the StudioLive mixer. Thus, with
the FireWire returns engaged for each input channel on your StudioLive
mixer, the output of your multitrack Capture Session is routed to the
StudioLive mixer, where it can be mixed just like any other audio input.
Creating a Mix
The process of creating a mix with Capture and the StudioLive
mixer is quite simple. You play back your recorded tracks through
the StudioLive and record the main output of the StudioLive to the
Auxiliary Stereo Track in Capture. The process works as follows:
1. In VSL, select "Main L/R" for Auxiliary Inputs 25 and 26.
2. Be sure Record Arm is disabled for all input Audio
Tracks in Capture, and the FireWire returns for all input
channels on the StudioLive mixer are engaged.
3. In Capture, select the Auxiliary Stereo Track
(25 and 26) and enable Record Arm.
4. Bring the playback cursor position to the beginning of the Session
by clicking the Back to Beginning button in the Transport.
5. Activate recording by clicking on the Record button in the Transport;
the playback cursor should begin to move from left to right, and
audio should be playing through each input on the StudioLive mixer.
The Auxiliary Stereo Track in Capture should be recording a new
Audio Event, which is the main mix from the StudioLive mixer.
The new Audio Event that has been recorded from the
StudioLive mixer will be stored as a stereo WAV file at the
sample rate to which the StudioLive mixer is set.
