Using the StudioLive as an Audio Interface

The StudioLive features a built-in FireWire interface that can be
used with any application that supports Core Audio or ASIO and
can also be used as a WDM device for a Windows computer.
For StudioLive 16.4.2 and 24.4.2 users, any input and bus with a Select
button, plus the Solo bus, tape input, and talkback mic, can be recorded.
Please consult the documentation that came with your audio application
for specific instructions on how to select the StudioLive driver as the audio
device driver for your software. It is important to note that the StudioLive uses
the same driver as the PreSonus FireStudio family of interfaces, so its driver
will be displayed as “PreSonus FireStudio” in all driver-selection menus.
