Aside from working with Capture, the StudioLive 16.4.2 also is a great front end for Apple's Logic Studio. In this blog, we'll show you how to set up a Logic Project from scratch that will allow you to record all of the analog inputs of your Studiolive mixer and route the outputs correctly so you can mixdown using the board.
Hi Rick, so going by this, like most other interfaces you're not restricted by the channels. If you wanted you could run as many channels of audio to the same two channels of output, if that was a requirement... So in addition it does potentially have the ability to route the 6 AUXs for 5.1... During playback hard left / right the channels 1 to 6 and then route to AUX1 through 6 for each... if you have a patch panel that would work nicely... as a studio integration. Or if not mistaken include the Subs 1-4 that has the potential for up to 9.1 ? One last question - if sending audio via the FireWire, does it route to direct outs as well... ? You can guess where I'm going with that each being 8 channels :).
ReplyDeleteThanks Anton
Hi Anton,
ReplyDeleteYes, there are a ton of routing configurations with the StudioLive. Plus each of the Aux's and Subgroups also have the Fat Channel (EQ and Dynamics) on their outputs. You can also link adjacent Aux's and Subgroups as pairs. So that way, you can eq the pairs with one set of controls.
Rick, I've been viewing the web for photos of the StudioLive and i see there are a few of what appears was a prototype which does not have the SPDIF out, and the DSUB's are male. I assume the photos on the PreSonus site itself are of the production model then... i.e.: SPDIF and Female DSub's?
ReplyDeleteYup, those are old photos. The ones on our site are correct and on the shipping StudioLive's. There are still some dealers that have the old photos and haven't updated them. Sorry for the confusion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rick, wow that was quick - I figured as much, going to Maplin (UK's equalivalant of RS electronics). Just a note I think you have me sold on this mixer. Just a point after reading through the other blogs; something that I think you guys do have within your power and grasp, you have to get this to integrate with those FireStudio interfaces. I would love to have that FireStudio Tube as extended I/O for the StudioLive.
ReplyDeleteRick, I hope you getting your bonus this year buddy!! :) That is excellent news! cheers Anton
ReplyDeleteRick,
ReplyDeleteWe have our first studiolive and love it. The clarity of the output is amazing, we were using an allen and heath gl3300. We are supposed to have our second studiolive next week so we can daisy chain them.
Any idea of when the part will be available to hook the two together physically? And then how do we get those parts? Thanks for your work on this. We are church in a box and are pumped to have these boards because of the size and then all of the recording capabilities. Thanks!!

Hi Rick,
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a mixer board in a while and after I watched all of your video, now I think I have found it. This is a very good board for the money with lots of features on it. The most important thing is that, you have put out all these wonderful video to support it, and also this is why I am going to invest my hard working money on it. Thank you very much for doing the good works. So, Is the StudioLive been shipped yet? I have been looking around, and no one seems to have it in stock. Any idea to when will it be in the store?
Thanks,
WOW! you can save the eq settings, and the effects and the dynamic changes too?? amazing. thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteThese videos are exactly what fung-shway i needed to be satisfied with the SL and Logic. I am an experienced Logic Pro user that is looking for an upgrade, and the SL is that upgrade thanks for you wonderful men!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThese videos are great, but I am having a problem...
Under the Global Audio settings in logic, I have the StudioLive selected as my audio unit, but for some reason I cannot change any IO's on the channel strips. All that can be active is Input 1 and the master bus output....
I feel as though I must be doing something stupid. Please cure me?
I've tried using the StudioLive template, and I've tried following the process described in the video (Creating a new 16 track project).

Rick is it possible to simultaneously record a stereo mix of a live show along with an independent 16 track recording with Logic. I know that the Presonus Software allows this. I am interested in being able to deliver cd's or multiple thumb drives after the show.
