6.4 Using the StudioLive as an Audio Interface
FireWire sends 25-32 are routed in 4 stereo pairs from the Universal Control Device
window. Any combination of four of the following inputs and buses can be selected:
• Main Mix Left / Right
• Subgroup 1 and 2
• Subgroup 3 and 4
• Aux Send 1 and 2
• Aux Send 3 and 4
• Aux Send 5 and 6
• Aux Send 7 and 8
• Aux Send 9 and 10
• Aux Send A and B (EFXA and EFXB Send)
• Aux Return A (Aux Input A)
• Aux Return B (Aux Input B)
• FX Return A (EFXA Return)
• FX Return B (EFXB Return)
• 2 Track Left/Right
• Talkback Left/Right
• Solo Left/Right
Note that either channel of the stereo pair can still be accessed on a mono track in
your host application; only the routing must be assigned as a stereo pair. For instance,
if you have a backing-vocal group routed to Subgroup 1 and a guitar group routed
to Subgroup 2, you would create two mono tracks in your recording application. The
track whose input is assigned to Subgroup 1 will record the backing-vocal group,
and the track whose input is assigned to Subgroup 2 will record your guitar group.
If, however, you have a stereo drum group assigned to Subgroups 3-4, you can
create a stereo track in your recording application and assign its input to Subgroups
3 and 4. For more information on subgroup mixing, please see Section 8.4.
The obvious exception to this principle is the Talkback Mic input. The Universal
Control Device window allows you to assign the talkback output to one of the
stereo FireWire sends. In this instance, the same signal will be printed on both
sides of the send. In your recording software, you can create a mono track and
assign it to either side of the stereo FireWire send to which it is routed. Both
FireWire sends receive the same mono signal from the talkback mic preamp.
Please note that you have access to both the internal eects-send group as well
as the eects returns. If you record an internal eects send (Aux Sends A and B),
you will be recording the unprocessed (“dry”) mix of the channels being sent
to that internal eects bus. To record the processed mix, choose the internal
eects returns (FX Return A or FX Return B). This is the direct output from the
internal eects, so it will be 100% wet. You may wish to record both the dry
and the wet mix so that you can blend them to taste within your session.
Section 7.2.5 discusses how to select the sources for these 4 stereo FireWire sends.
