We’re giggin’ with it and it’s just great to work with. All band members now have separate monitor mixes! Awesome! The post production is fun too.

Within 30 minutes of opening the box I had recabled everything from my Digistudio 26×26, Digimax, Eureka, DBX Driverack (PA), Multiple compressors, Lexicon Reverb, ADAM 7, SubWoofer, Central station and headphone amp.

I read the one page to install on Mac OS X. I then went to the next page and followed the step by step setup for setting up the StudioLive to work in LogicPro.

40 Minutes now from opening the box the band I had scheduled to record was showing up. Without reading any more of the manual, I was able to setup everyone's input level's set Drums, Rhythm Guitar, Singer, Bass and Lead Guitar running to AUX 1&2 for head phone monitoring, just Like Anthony R. At first I did it dry, then I realized I wanted the band to hear the Compressors and limiters so I went POST adjusted the faders to get the benefit of the Fat Channel in the Monitors going through the Aux's. I opened Logic and routed the outputs to 16-17 2ch. for play back from Logic for the control room. Within 1 hour we were recording into Logic with no problems. I was pretty stressed that I would choke, trying a new unit out on a recording session with no prior experience is not suggested but I had waited a year so I went for it. The StudioLive was everything I had hoped for. It just work. The band asked for Reverb on the vocals, I was so stressed I said maybe on Thursdays session, I didn't want to overload my brain. By there second song I had a second to read one paragraph on the internal effects and I read how to routing them to the AUX's. I hit page down once on the menu screen I turn the dial to have an arrow pointing down on AUX 1&2 and then I hit the mix button and brought up reverb on track 9 the singer and everyone looked over in the middle of the recording and smiled!

After 4 hours of recording and listening back WOW. The only issue we had was trying to get a good balance for the different players in there headphone. In the next session I will have 2 headphone mixes to solve this problem Aux 3&4 very easy just didn't stop the flow to add the 2 cables.

At the end of the night before I shut down. I read a paragraph on how to save the scene so that I wouldn't loose all of the settings I had been tweaking throughout the night. Simple I Named and saved the scene and shut down the system.

If you can think it, you can route it.

Very stable not one glitch on day one with 4 hours of recording and play back.

Compressor Limiters Work! The singer was inexperienced at recording and was turning her head all over the place. Comp and Lmt helped to get a little bit of balance.

SIMPLE! Don't let the looks fool you. I have been in airplane cockpits with less buttons, but I only used the manual to install the drivers, add effects to the Aux Out and save a scene. Everything else felt natural or was very intuitive.

My next steps will be to learn how to recall Fat Channel Presets and try out all of the effects after that, I think I have everything else figured out.

We just did our first recording with this. The band loves it! Very transparent pres for all instruments. We used the auxes for independent monitor mixes and worked out very well. I was looking though the manual I couldn’t find anything about sending the FX to the monitors. Is that possible? Also, I had a difficult time sending anything to my headphones via the jack on the front of the board. I tried soloing channels and pressing the solo on the headphone section, but no response. Please advise. Otherwise, great board!

Thanks!
