This is such a big deal because now it is a control surface. The StudioLive is fast becoming real competition for digital FOH/Monitor systems for us who do not have $25-50K to spend. The graphical representation of the fat channel eq is outstanding. The save and recall assignment is fast and easy. I am very impressed with the development of this platform and all the new features in each firmware update.
This is great. So, what if I want to mix a show wirelessly using a laptop/tablet with this VSL installed and a studio live mixer? Would this be possible? If yes, what are the components needed and how they will be connected? I'm definitely getting a Studiolive this year just as soon as I can come up with the money.. :)
ALBA PRODUCTION STUDIOS IN MONTREAL Qc Awesome work Presonus!!! I couldnt be happier that I two 16.4.2, and can't wait till you release the VSL software can u tell us when the reales will be.
Just got my Studiolive yesterday...wish I hadn't had to go on duty or I would've messed with it all day. And now NEW software too!!! May the Gods of attractive mates, perfect children and, never empty wallets bless all of you. You are truly innovators. Now back to work!! I need to be able to mix from the bar as soon as possible.
honestly feel more and more disappointed with StudioLive Mixer. To me its more Live than studio. All the features are definately good for Live performances, but they are not of good caliber for studio work. I've used it for both live and studio applications, and have to say, its just a big fancy looking interface when it comes to using it in the studio. Studio One is great, but the metering is a lot better in Cubase in my opinion. I do like the fact StudioOne can master, and easily detect Presonus gear. Cubase meters are a lot clearer to see if you are about to clip or are clipping. Maybe an update can be made to change that.
Rick when is this available? I can say that I will so love to have this soon I am running out of saved scene sets. I use my studiolive 16.4.2 in studio and live. It is fantastic. I have a faderport to do automation later. The great thing about this mixer is that I am ready to record without all the need of outboard gear. So many artists I've recorded have been impressed by the sure simplicity of the layout and ease of use. Recording setup is just sticking a mic in the right place... Level check or two, and we're off and recording. Tremendous time saver, great mixer!
Can you run a StudioLive at your FOH and run the VSL on the side of the stage as the Monitor mix??? Full Live solution from 1 mixer??? If so.... AMAZING!
I've just realised you would need a looong firewire cable for this. So perhaps running VNC (or ARD on Mac) you could do this through a network or wireless... now my mind is boggling... walking around the stage with an iPad! Talking with the musos and tweaking monitor mixes using a VNC client on an iPad... I'm gonna go crazy with this!!
Whoops! A backing singer just turned up to rehearsal late... don't need to run back to the mixer! I can activate, and fade in her channel from the iPad from the stage. - This is too much! I was already happy with the value of my 2 x 16.4.2s.
One question now - will VSL recognise my 2 x 16.4.2's bussed together with firewire for full 32 channels of control?
