Many users will want to use Capture strictly as a track-recording tool
and mix the recorded tracks later in a DAW application. PreSonus has
included a copy of Studio One Artist with your StudioLive for just
this purpose. Both Studio One Artist and Studio One Pro can open
Capture Session files. All markers, edits, track names, etc., will be
preserved, and no further effort is required; simply launch Studio One
and open your Capture session. (See Section 7.5 for more details.)
For users who wish to mix their Capture Session in a DAW other
than Studio One, there are several ways in which to import
your Capture session, as described in the following.
Save a Capture Session as Open TL
Many audio-recording programs provide support for opening a
document type called Open TL (Open Track List). An Open TL file
provides a reference for all of the audio tracks and Audio Events,
with their corresponding positions, in your Capture Session, so that
another audio program can reconstruct your Session automatically.
This makes it possible for you to open your Capture Session and
work as you normally do in your favorite recording application.
To save an Open TL version of your Session, select Save Session
As in the File menu of Capture. Name the file as usual, and
choose Open TL (*.tl) in the Save As Type selection box.
Click on Save to save your Session as an Open TL document,
and confirm the command by clicking Yes in the confirmation
window. This file will be placed by default in your Session
folder and will not overwrite the original Capture Session file.
Note that the Open TL format will not save your markers.
Import Capture Session Audio Files Directly
Some audio-editing applications (e.g., digital audio workstations,
or DAWs) do not support the Open TL format, which makes the
options somewhat limited when importing sessions created in
other programs. In this case, you must manually import the Audio
Events from your Capture Session into the audio-editing application,
using whatever means possible in that program. Refer to the
documentation of your software for more information on this process.
Note that in some cases, you may have more than one Audio Event
on a given track, as opposed to a single continuous Audio Event or
have audio events that do not have the same start position. In either
case, it is highly recommended that you first export the audio for each
track before attempting to import into an audio-editing program,
as described in the Export Audio Files portion of this section.
