Section is the only talkback mic input that can be routed to the Aux Mixes on the
Master Unit and to its Main outputs. While the Talkback section on the slave is active
through its outputs, it cannot be patched into the Master unit. Because of this, you
should connect your talkback mic to the Master unit and control it from there.
patched directly to the Main Output using a button in the Master Section. The
Tape inputs are active on both mixers in the chain, but the Tape button only
routes the associated Tape input to the Main bus on that unit. For example, the
Tape button on the Slave patches it to the Main bus on the Slave only. Because
of this, we recommend that you only use the Tape input on the Master unit.
StudioLive becomes a 32x34 audio interface. As discussed in Section 6.4.2, just
like with a single mixer connected to a computer, the 32 FireWire inputs on
two chained units are hard-coded to receive their respective FireWire returns.
Outputs 1-32 in your recording application will route these playback streams
to their respective channels on the two StudioLives. FireWire Returns 33 and
34 (17 and 18 with one mixer connected) are hard-coded to the FireWire input
buttons in the 2 Track In and Monitor sections on both the Master and the Slave
mixer. If the 2 Track In FireWire Return button is enabled on both mixers, the
duplicated signals will both be routed to the Master unit's main output. As with
the Tape input, it is recommended that only the Master unit's 2 Track In is used.
32 available FireWire sends: 16 from its channels and 16 from a selection
of buses and aux inputs. When two StudioLive mixers are connected to a
computer, each StudioLive has 16 available FireWire sends for a total of 32.
As mentioned earlier, FireWire sends 1-16 output from the StudioLive with
the lowest serial number. FireWire sends 17-32 output from the StudioLive
with the highest serial number. These sends cannot be changed, nor can
they be merged. For the best workflow, it is recommended that the unit with
the lowest serial number be placed to the left and be set as the Slave.
all channels in the chain (by listening to the Solo bus or the Main bus), the
Tape input for the Master Main bus, and the Main FireWire Return. The Monitor
bus on the Slave unit can only receive signals from the mixer it is on.
The Solo bus is a merged bus; any channel on any mixer can be soloed and
monitored from the Master unit. When PFL or SIP are engaged on either
mixer, both mixers are placed into the same mode at the same time.
