The Master Section is always visible and gives you control over the FireStudio Project’s outputs’ source and
level as well as the Sample Rate and Buffer Size of the FireStudio drivers.
Output Select Section
• Output Select Buttons Changes the Output Mixer displayed
The FireControl has five output mixes – one for each of the
FireStudio Project’s five outputs.
• Mixer Toggle Buttons Enables or disables the associated Output’s mixer
When set to ‘PlayBack’, the output pair’s DAW playback
outputs are routed directly to it.
• Post Fader Output Meters
Displays the output level of each stereo pair
These meter post fader levels, which means they represent
the actual audio output levels of your FireStudio Project.
Hardware Settings Section
• Sample Rate Selector
Changes FireStudio Project Sample Rate
A Higher Sample Rate increases frequency range and sonic
accuracy but also increases recorded audio file sizes.
• Buffer Size Selector

This selector is not present in Mac OS X.
A large buffer increases latency but is more stable.
• Clock Source Selector

The ‘S/PDIF’ option is used to slave the FireStudio
Project to an external device via S/PDIF.
• Resizing Corner Resizes the width of the FireControl
Click and drag the bottom right corner of the FireControl
to resize its width on your screen and increase / decrease
the number of channels visible in the Mixer.
