Using Plug-In Effects As Inserts - PRESONUS StudioLive 24.4.2 Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual
POWER USER TIP: It is important to think of your FireWIre returns and your analog inputs
the same way. When a FireWire return is engaged, it replaces the analog input in the mix.
You can process in the Fat Channel, include in Aux mixes, and send to an FX mix.

Using Plug-In Effects as Inserts

6.4.3
1. To begin, create a mono audio track in Studio One. Assign its input to
Each of the StudioLive's 24 inputs are hard coded to receive their respective FireWire
returns. Outputs 1 through 24 in your recording application route these playback
streams to their respective channels on the StudioLive (that is, the software's Output
1 always goes to StudioLive Channel 1 input and so on). Once you route a track in
your recording application to play through one of these outputs, it will always be
accessible on its channel by simply pressing the FireWire input button.
To provide the most flexible mixing environment, the main mix output for any
application should be assigned to the Main FireWire Returns (Outputs 25 and 26).
These FireWire returns are hard-coded to the FireWire input buttons in the 2 Track In
and Monitor sections of the StudioLive. In this way, you can monitor the main output
from your recording application without using two channels on your StudioLive,
leaving the other 24 outputs available to be routed to the Fat Channel or for inserting
a plug-in on a live instrument (see the next section for more details).
FireWire streaming on your StudioLive is continuously bidirectional. This means
that the StudioLive is always sending signals from the direct FireWire sends on all
24 input channels, as well as from the auxiliary inputs and buses assigned to the
second bank of eight FireWire sends. At the same time, the StudioLive is receiving
signals back from the 26 FireWire returns. Because the FireWire returns always come
back to their respective StudioLive channels, you can quickly insert a plug-in from
your recording application into any channel strip and monitor it in real time.
In this example, we will insert the Beat Delay plug-in from PreSonus Studio One onto
Channel 16 of the StudioLive.
Channel 16 and its output to Output 16. (Several DAW applications,
including Apple Logic™, do not offer mono output buses. If this is the
case, you must route the output stream to Channels 15-16 and pan the
channel all the way to the right so that it will only be sent to output 16.
Please consult your software's user manual for specific instructions.)

2. Once you have the routing set up in Studio One,
drag-and-drop the Beat Delay plug-in onto your
track and record-enable it. Software monitoring will
be enabled automatically.
