10.Set the Recording Timing Master to“PreSonus FireStudio ... Mic/Inst 1.”

2.5Digital Sends and Returns

When using the StudioLive as an audio interface, it is important to understand the terms“digital send”and“digital 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.

The StudioLive 32.4.2AI has 48 available sends and 34 returns. The StudioLive 24.4.2AI has 40 available sends and 26 returns. The StudioLive 16.4.2AI has 32 available sends and 18 returns.

2.5.1 Channel Digital Sends

Digital Sends 1 through 32/24/16 are hard-coded to be sent pre-fader from the 32/24/16 input channels of the StudioLive. These sends are preor post-Fat Channel EQ and dynamics depending on the channel or bus being recorded.

The Digital Output button in the Fat Channel indicates the signal flow for the selected channel or bus send to the digital bus. Input channels are sent pre-Fat Channel; while the subgroup, main, and aux buses are sent post-Fat Channel EQ and Dynamics to the digital bus.

2	Connecting to a Computer	StudioLive™ AI Software Library
2.5	Digital Sends and Returns	Reference Manual

2.5.2 Auxiliary Digital Sends

Each StudioLive AI mixer features additional Digital Sends that can be routed in stereo pairs from the Setup tab in VSL-AI. Any combination of eight of the following stereo 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 (StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 32.4.2AI only)

•• Aux Send 9 and 10 (StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 32.4.2AI only)

•• Aux Send 11 and 12 (StudioLive 32.4.2AI only)

•• Aux Send 13 and 14 (StudioLive 32.4.2AI only)

•• Aux Send A and B (FXA and FXB Send Mixes)

•• Aux Send C and D (FXC and FXD Send Mixes)

•• Aux Return A (Aux Input A)

•• Aux Return B (Aux Input B)

•• 2 Track Left/Right

•• Talkback Left/Right

•• Solo Left/Right

Power User Tip: 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 the 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 4.5 in the StudioLive AI Owner’s Manual.

The obvious exception to this principle is the Talkback Mic input. 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 Digital Send to which it is routed. Both Digital Sends receive the same mono signal from the talkback mic preamp.

Section 4.8.1 discusses how to select the sources for these auxiliary stereo Digital Sends.

2	Connecting to a Computer	StudioLive™ AI Software Library
2.6	Using Plug-In Effects as Inserts	Reference Manual

2.5.3 Digital Returns

Each StudioLive input is hard-coded to receive its respective digital return. Outputs 1 through 32/24/16 in your recording application route these playback streams to their respective channels on the StudioLive (that is, the software’s Output 1 always goes to StudioLive Channel 1 digital return and so on). Once you route a track in your recording application to play through one of these outputs, it will always be accessible on its channel by simply pressing the Digital Return button.

Power User Tip: It is important to think of your digital returns and your analog inputs in the same way. When a digital return is engaged, it replaces the analog input in the mix. You can process it in the Fat Channel, include in it Aux mixes, and send it to an FX mix.

2.5.4 Main Digital Return

To provide the most flexible mixing environment, PreSonus has provided a stereo Main Digital Return to free the first 32/24/16 returns to be patched directly to their corresponding channels on your StudioLive AI mixer. Digital Returns 33-34/25-26/17- 18 are hard-coded to the Digital Return buttons in the 2Track In and Monitor sections on your StudioLive AI mixer. In this way, you can monitor the main output from your recording application without using two channels on your StudioLive, leaving the other channels available to be routed to the Fat Channel or for inserting a plug-in on a live instrument.

2.6Using Plug-In Effects as Inserts

Digital Transport streaming on your StudioLive is continuously bidirectional. This means that the StudioLive is always sending signals from the direct Digital Sends on all input channels, as well as from the auxiliary inputs and buses assigned to the second bank of Digital Sends. At the same time, the StudioLive is receiving signals back from the digital returns. Because the digital returns always come back to their respective StudioLive channels, you can quickly insert a plug-in from your recording application into any channel strip and monitor it in real time.

In this example, we will insert the Beat Delay plug-in from PreSonus Studio One onto Channel 4 of the StudioLive.

1.To begin, create a mono audio track in Studio One.

2.Assign its input to Channel 4 and its output to Output 4.

(Several DAW applications, including Apple Logic, do not offer mono output buses. If this is the case, you must route the output stream to, for example, Channels 3-4 and pan the channel all the way to the right so that it will only be sent to Output 4. Please consult your software’s user manual for specific instructions.)

2	Connecting to a Computer	StudioLive™ AI Software Library
2.6	Using Plug-In Effects as Inserts	Reference Manual

3.Once you have the routing set up in Studio One, drag-and-drop the Beat Delay plug-in onto your track and record-enable it. Software monitoring will be enabled automatically.

4. Press the Digital Return button on Channel 4 of your StudioLive. You can now monitor the analog signal from Channel 4 on your StudioLive with your inserted effect (in this case, Beat Delay).

Power User Tip: When using plug-ins as inserts, it is very important that you set as low a buffer size on your computer as possible without creating performance issues. For most new computers, this won’t be an

issue. A buffer size of 128 or less will provide low enough latency for most plug-in types; however, dynamics and EQ plug-ins and performance plug-ins such as amp-modelers may require lower latency settings.

See Section 4.1 for more information on buffer size settings.

Please note: setting the buffer size too low on older or slower computers, or on a computer that has not been properly optimized, may result

in poor performance. Always be sure to test the limits of your system before attempting CPU-intensive tasks in mission-critical situations.

3 Networking Your StudioLive AI mixer

Your StudioLive AI-series mixer provides you with two choices of connecting to a wireless router. You can either connect it directly to the router using an Ethernet cable, or connect it wirelessly using the included USB Wi-Fi adapter. It is important to mention that the StudioLive AI mixer does not support hotswapping the Wi-Fi adapter. It must be connected when you boot up your

mixer to use it. Also, the included adapter is the only LAN adapter supported for use with the StudioLive AI mixer. If a direct Ethernet connection to a network connection is available, the Wi-Fi adapter will not scan for additional networks.

Power User Tip: Network connections occasionally require troubleshooting, especially when a lot of wireless networks are in use. Because of this, it is always a good idea

to get your networked devices and StudioLive happily communicating before the pressure is on, and you have a singer trying to dial in a monitor mix while you’re trying to mic the drum kit. So while the guitarist is flirting with the bartender, take a quick moment to get your iPad, iPhone, computer, and StudioLive talking.

3.1Step 1: Connect your StudioLive to your Network

1. Press the System button on your StudioLive to open the System menu.

2. Page down to Page 2: Network.

3. Press the Recall button to scan for available networks.

If your wireless router is connected to your StudioLive mixer’s Ethernet port, your mixer will join automatically. Once you see an IP number appear on the LCD, your mixer is ready to be wirelessly remote controlled by VSL-AI, SL Remote-AI, or QMix-AI. Continue to Step 4 for instructions on connecting wirelessly to your router.

4. Use the Value Encoder to scroll through the available networks.

5. When you have found the network you would like to use, press the Store button to join.

Power User Tip: Your StudioLive AI mixer ships from the factory ready to connect to any wireless network named “studiolive” with a password of “studiolive”. If you configure you wireless router with this information, your StudioLive mixer will connect as soon as you press Store.

6. Use the Value encoder and Next button to enter the password for your network. When you are done, press the Store button to connect to the network. Every time you turn on your StudioLive AI mixer, it will look for this network and attempt to connect to it.

Please Note: the StudioLive only supports WPA and WPA2 security.If you do not see an IP address appear within 10 seconds after pressing the Store button, verify that your router is configured using one of these security protocols.

7.Once your mixer has successfully joined to your wireless network, you will see an IP Number appear on the LCD and your mixer is ready to be wirelessly remote controlled by VSL-AI, SL Remote-AI, or QMix-AI.

3.5	Step 5: Setting iOS Permissions	Reference Manual

3.5 Step 5: Setting iOS Permissions

Controlling your StudioLive remotely with StudioLive Remote-AI for iPad or QMix-AI for iPhone/iPod touch allows you to move about the venue freely. However, it can also put the full power of the StudioLive in multiple hands— some more adept than others. Therefore, your StudioLive enables you to limit each iOS device’s access to the mixer features by setting permissions.

Once an iOS device is connected to your wireless network and has launched SL Remote-AI or QMix-AI, the device will be displayed in the Remote Devices list on the System Menu on your StudioLive. Each device will be listed using its device name so you can easily identify which device is which. This name can be changed in iTunes or in the General>About settings on the iOS device.

Once you have connected and configured an iOS device, the same permissions will be set for that device every time you connect it. Complete information about SL Remote-AI and QMix-AI can be found in Sections 5 and 6.

Note: You must give permission to an iOS device from the StudioLive System menu in order to remote control your StudioLive AI-series mixer from that device.

1. Press the System button on your StudioLive to launch the System menu.

2.Page down to navigate to Page 3: iOS Setup.

3. Use the Value encoder to scroll through the list of available iOS devices.

4. When you find the device for which you’d like set permissions, use the Next button to navigate to the first permissions field. Use the Value encoder to set the device permission.

3.5	Step 5: Setting iOS Permissions	Reference Manual

3.5.1 StudioLive Remote for iPad Permissions

When setting permissions for SL Remote-AI users, you will choose between giving full access to all SL Remote-AI functions or providing limited access to just a few aux-mix functions. In most cases, one iPad will be configured as front-of-house (FOH), and the others will be configured as aux mixes.

Mix Permissions. Sets the level of functionality in SL Remote-AI.

•• None. SL Remote-AI on the select iPad will not be able to control your StudioLive AI-series mixer

•• FOH. Enables all SL Remote-AI functions.

•• All Auxes. SL Remote-AI will only control the channel send levels for all aux mixes.

•• Aux 1-14/10/6. SL Remote-AI will only control the channel send levels for the specified aux mix.

Other Permissions. Choose between Ch Rename or None. Ch Rename allows SL Remote-AI users to remotely change the channel and bus scribble-strip labels. These changes are also reflected in VSL-AI, QMixAI, and on the Channel Info page on the StudioLive AI mixer.

3.5.2 QMix-AI for iPhone/iPod Touch Permissions

When setting permissions for QMix-AI users, you will choose between providing full access to all aux mixes, providing access to only a single aux mix, and limiting the user to just the Wheel of Me functions.

Mix Permissions. Sets the level of functionality in QMix-AI.

•• None. QMix-AI on the select iPad will not be able to control your StudioLive AI mixer.

•• All Auxes. QMix-AI will control the channel send levels for all aux mixes.

•• Aux 1-14/10/6. QMix-AI will only control the channel send levels for the specified aux mix.

Other Permissions. Choose between Wheel Only or None. Wheel Only disables the Aux Mix page in QMix-AI. When this is enabled, the user will only be able

to use the Wheel of Me on the single aux to which you’ve provided access. When Wheel Only is enabled, you can only give access to one aux mix.

4.1	Universal Control-AI Launch Window	Reference Manual

4 Universal Control-AI and VSL-AI

Universal Control-AI includes two windows: the Launcher window and the Device window. For the StudioLive, the Device window is the Virtual StudioLive-AI (VSL-AI) application. VSL-AI provides bidirectional control of channel, subgroup, aux, and main-bus levels; Fat Channel parameters; aux

mixes; effects; and the graphic EQs. It also provides a visual overview of your StudioLive settings so that you can see, adjust, and organize them. VSL-AI includes a librarian, allowing you to easily manage your presets and scenes.

Controlling your StudioLive with VSL-AI is as easy as drag-and-drop. Load Fat Channel presets and scenes by simply dragging them onto the channel or mixer overview. You can load Fat Channel presets as a complete channel strip or as individual gate, compressor, and EQ presets. Through VSL-AI, you can back up all of the scenes and presets stored on your StudioLive. These stored settings can be loaded from disk or sent to, and stored internally on, the StudioLive.

Since control is bidirectional, fader moves and parameter changes made on the StudioLive are reflected in VSL-AI. So, for example, you can set up the StudioLive the way you want it and then save your scene and other presets in VSL-AI.

VSL-AI also lets you create a password for your StudioLive so that you can lock out unauthorized users. (See Section 4.8.5 for details.) From the Launcher window, you can set basic parameters such as buffer size and sample rate.

To use VSL-AI, you must do one of two things:

•• Connect and sync your StudioLive to your computer using a FireWire s800 cable. This option allows you to use all the features VSL-AI provides, including Smaart Spectra Analysis and the Smaart System Check Wizards while recording and playing back audio through Capture, Studio One, or a third-party DAW of your choice.

•• Connect your StudioLive and computer to the same wireless network. This option will allow you to use your laptop to remote control the StudioLive AI mixer anywhere in the venue, but the Smaart tools

will be disabled as these features require an audio driver.

4.1Universal Control-AI Launch Window

The Universal Control-AI Launch Window offers basic configuration tools for using your StudioLive AI mixer as an audio device on your computer:

Sample Rate. Displays the sample rate set on the StudioLive AIseries mixer. Because your mixer is always the master clock, the sample rate must be set in the System menu on your mixer.

Clock Source. Displays the master clock for the audio driver.

Power User Tip: As mentioned above, the StudioLive AI mixer is the master clock for your audio system. The audio driver is clocked externally by the mixer. This means that your mixer will not be forced to reclock (and mute its outputs) if your computer crashes or is accidentally disconnected.

4	Universal Control-AI and VSL-AI	StudioLive™ AI Software Library
4.2	VSL-AI: Browser	Reference Manual

Safe Mode. Changes How the StudioLive Driver’s Buffer Size is Set.

•• Low Latency. Input and output buffers are both identical to the Buffer Size setting.

•• Normal Mode. Slightly increases the output buffer for typical operation.

•• Safe Mode 1-2. Increases the output-buffer size for added stability. Block Size (Windows Only). Changes the StudioLive Buffer Size.

You can set the buffer size from 64 to 4,096 samples. The buffer size determines the roundtrip time it takes audio data to be converted from analog to digital and back to analog. As a general rule, the higher the buffer size, the better the system performance, but the less playable virtual instruments and the like become. In general, 512 samples (11 to 12 milliseconds) will provide you with a large enough buffer for optimum system performance, but low enough to be unobtrusive.

You should set your buffer size prior to launching your host application. On the Mac, the buffer size is set from inside your host application.

Power User Tip: In the event that audio playback from your computer is distorted or choppy, you may need to adjust your Block Size so that it is high enough for your computer’s performance capacity. For most modern computers, a Block Size of 32 or 64 samples will perform quite well in most situations. However, if you have loaded several plug-ins that require a large CPU overhead, your computer’s processor is older, or you do not have adequate RAM for your use, you may find that a Block Size of 256 or higher will allow you to add more plug-ins and tracks. Adjusting the Safe Mode to 1 or 2 will also help get better performance out of slower machines.

Device Window Button. Opens the Device Window. Click on this button to open Virtual StudioLive-AI (VSL-AI).

File Menu. Opens and Closes Launch and Device Windows.

From the File menu of the Launch window, you can open and close both windows, as well as quit the Universal Control-AI application.

•• Show All Devices. Opens the Device window for all connected FireStudio-family interfaces.

•• Close All Devices. Closes the Device window for all connected FireStudio-family interfaces.

•• About Universal Control-AI. Displays version information for Universal Control-AI.

•• Quit. Quits the Universal Control-AI application.

4.2VSL-AI: Browser

When you first launch VSL-AI, notice the browser window along the right side of the screen. The browser in VSL-AI functions similarly to the browser in Studio One. From the browser, you can see all of the scenes, Fat Channel presets, FX presets, and graphic EQ settings that are saved on your StudioLive and on your computer. You can also create new settings and can back up your entire library from this window. Simply drag-and-drop a scene or preset to load it on your StudioLive.

VSL-AI allows you to back up your scenes, Fat Channel, effects, and graphic EQ presets and permanently store them on your computer. Each type of preset can be added separately. In this way, you can back up only what you want, when you want.

4	Universal Control-AI and VSL-AI	StudioLive™ AI Software Library
4.2	VSL-AI: Browser	Reference Manual

VSL-AI makes reorganizing all the scenes and presets stored on your StudioLive as easy as dragging-and-dropping a file. To load your StudioLive with new scenes and presets, simply drag any scene or preset from the On The Disk section of the browser to any position in the Device Memory section of the browser.

4.3.5 Copying Mixes

Next to the main fader, and in each of the aux masters, you will see the Copy Mix handle. When selected with your mouse, this handle lets you drag-and-drop the mix for that bus to another bus. In this way, you can drag the main-fader mix to Aux 1 to set a starting point and can quickly give the singer the same mix on two different floor wedges.

Note: While the main mix can be copied to any aux, aux mixes can only be copied to other aux mixes and not to the main mix.

4.3.6 Copying Channel Settings

VSL-AI provides you with two ways to copy channel settings from one channel or bus to another. The first method functions essentially like you StudioLive hardware; the second is unique to VSL-AI.

Copy Channel (Copy/Paste)

StudioLive AI mixers give you the ability to quickly copy-and-paste a single channel or bus’s Fat Channel settings onto multiple channels and buses. VSL-AI provides the same functionality in exactly the same way.

To copy a channel or bus, simply select it and click the Copy button. All the Select buttons will flash. Click the Select buttons for the channels and buses to which you want to copy the Fat Channel settings. When you are done, click Paste.

Note: Subgroup and main bus assignments are only copied from channel to channel.
