6.4.2 FireWire Sends and Returns
When using the StudioLive as an audio interface, it is important to understand
the terms “FireWire send” and “FireWire return.” Because the audio interface in
the StudioLive is completely integrated with the other functions of the mixer, the
FireWire I/O is designed to work as an independent bus. You can route (send) signals
from other buses to the FireWire bus, and its output (return) signal is hard-coded to
designated mixer channels. Your StudioLive has 32 available sends and 26 returns.
FireWire sends 1 through 24 are hard-coded to be sent pre-fader from the 24 input
channels of the StudioLive. These sends can be pre- or post-Fat Channel EQ and
dynamics. To record the EQ and dynamics processing on any channel, simply enable
the Dig Out button. It will illuminate, indicating that the Fat Channel signal path is
being routed to the FireWire send. If this mode is not enabled, the signal sent via
FireWire will be post-trim and post-analog insert (if applicable). As discussed in
Section 4.5.1, the Dig Out button is not operable for the subgroups, main outputs,
aux bus, internal FX returns, and aux inputs. The subgroups, main outputs, and aux
inputs are also sent post-fader to their FireWire sends.
