each corresponding input channel on the StudioLive mixer. Thus, with
the FireWire returns engaged for each input channel on your StudioLive
mixer, the output of your multitrack Capture Session is routed to the
StudioLive mixer, where it can be mixed just like any other audio input.
Creating a Mix
The process of creating a mix with Capture and the StudioLive
mixer is quite simple. You play back your recorded tracks through
the StudioLive and record the main output of the StudioLive to the
Auxiliary Stereo Track in Capture. The process works as follows:
1. In VSL, select "Main L/R" for Auxiliary Inputs 25 and 26.
2. Be sure Record Arm is disabled for all input Audio
Tracks in Capture, and the FireWire returns for all input
channels on the StudioLive mixer are engaged.
3. In Capture, select the Auxiliary Stereo Track
(25 and 26) and enable Record Arm.
4. Bring the playback cursor position to the beginning of the Session
by clicking the Back to Beginning button in the Transport.
5. Activate recording by clicking on the Record button in the Transport;
the playback cursor should begin to move from left to right, and
audio should be playing through each input on the StudioLive mixer.
The Auxiliary Stereo Track in Capture should be recording a new
Audio Event, which is the main mix from the StudioLive mixer.
The new Audio Event that has been recorded from the
StudioLive mixer will be stored as a stereo WAV le at the
sample rate to which the StudioLive mixer is set.
Importing Audio Files
It is possible to import WAV and AIFF audio les into
your Session. To import an audio le, select Import
Audio File from the Session menu to open the Import
File menu. Browse to the desired le and click on it to
select it. Then click on Open to import the le into
your Session.
An Audio Event for the imported le will be created
and placed on the currently selected track in your
Session, at the current playback cursor position.
Preview Player
When browsing for les in the Import File menu, it is
possible to listen to the audio les as you are browsing
in the Preview Player. Click the Play button in the
Preview Player to play the currently selected audio le.
