3.7 VSL: Setup Tab
The Setup tab allows you to customize VSL and your StudioLive, route your
Auxiliary FireWire inputs (StudioLive 16.4.2 and 24.4.2 only), route your
Flexible Inputs (StudioLive 16.0.2 only), set up MIDI Control mode (StudioLive
16.0.2 only), and enable or disable functions on connected iOS devices.
3.7.1 Auxiliary Inputs Router (16.4.2 and 24.4.2 only)
In additions to the 24/16 Input channels, the StudioLive 16.4.2 and 24.4.2 mixers
allow you to route to a computer the input channels and any 16 of 19 (16.4.2) or 8
of 23 (24.4.2) buses and other inputs. This is done via the Auxiliary Inputs Router
on the Setup tab. To route FireWire Sends 17-32 (16.4.2) or 25-32 (24.4.2), first
decide which buses and inputs you would like to record in addition to your input
channels. Once you’ve determined your input pairs, simply patch them to a stereo
pair of auxiliary inputs of your choice. Remember, all of these buses and inputs are
automatically set to send their signals post-Fat Channel dynamics and post-EQ
(where applicable). The inputs and buses selected in the Auxiliary Input Router will
be displayed in your recording application, along with the name of their routing.
For instance, the routed pairs in the picture would translate as
the following chart in your host recording application:
PHYSICAL SOFTWARE
Main Mix Left Auxiliary In 25
Main Mix Right Auxiliary In 26
Subgroup 1 Auxiliary In 27
Subgroup 2 Auxiliary In 28
Subgroup 3 Auxiliary In 29
Subgroup 4 Auxiliary In 30
Aux Send 3 Auxiliary In 31
Aux Send 4 Auxiliary In 32
The Auxiliary Inputs Router also allows you to designate a specific bus as the
S/PDIF output, as well as enabling you to select which stereo pair will be recorded
on the Auxiliary Stereo Track in Capture. When the StudioLive is not connected to
a computer, the S/PDIF output can be routed using the System menu. However,
when your StudioLive is synced to your computer, you can route any of the 19 or 23
(depending on your mixer) available buses or inputs to the S/PDIF output by routing
them to FireWire Sends 31 and 32. In addition to being available for recording
via Aux In 31 and Aux In 32, these sends are normalled to the S/PDIF output.
As previously mentioned, if Smaart Spectra tools are engaged, VSL will take control
of Auxiliary Inputs 29 and 30. When VSL has control, these inputs will be grayed out.
