You will be taken to the Start page when Capture 2.0 is launched. The
Start page allows you to create a new Session, open a Session stored
on your computer, view recent Sessions, and verify that your StudioLive
is properly communicating with its driver. In addition, you can begin
recording instantly by just clicking the Record Now button.
2.1 Tagging and Organizing a Session
At the top of the Start page, you will find the three Name Scheme
fields: Artist, Performance, and Location. By entering information into
each of these fields, your Session will be automatically named with this
information, in this order, and tagged with the same helpful metadata.
These tags also help to keep your files organized. Rather than throwing
every Session into a single folder, all tagged Sessions will automatically
be put into an organized folder hierarchy. By default, Capture 2.0
inserts the date of performance and creates subfolders. These options
can be changed in the Options menu, see Section 2.5.3 for details.
By default, the folder tree is Artist/Performance/Location. This structure
is useful for regularly gigging bands that want to archive performances
(e.g., Artist: PreSonus Allstars, Performance: Winter Tour 2013, Location:
Baton Rouge – Manship Theatre). However, Capture 2.0 doesn’t limit you
to this folder structure. You can change the folder hierarchy from the
Options menu. Here are other available Name Schemes:
• Location/Artist/Performance. This Name Scheme is especially useful
for venue owners who are archiving the performances on their stage
(e.g., Location: Manship Theatre/PreSonus Allstars/Winter Tour 2013.
• Location/Performance/Artist. Use this Name Scheme when recording
an entire festival (e.g., PreSonuSphere/Stage 1/PreSonus Allstars).
As you archive your performances, Capture 2.0 stores a history of the
names you have entered into each field. To use a name again, simply
click on the pull-down menu for that field and select it from the list.
To clear the currently selected name from the list, select
Remove First from the pull-down menu.
To remove every name in the list, select Clear History. Once the history has been
cleared, it cannot be undone, so be certain before you choose this option.
