Record Listen
You can use the on-screen Record Listen button to monitor the re-
cording input. Record Listen toggles the recording input onto the
Solo bus. Record does not have to be engaged to monitor the re-
cording input.
Record Listen is always overridden by other signals on the Solo
bus. If any other channel is soloed, or Key Listen is engaged, Re-
cord Listen is always overridden.
To monitor the recording input:
 In the Record Input section of the Record tab, click the Listen
button.
To disengage Record Listen:
 Click Listen again. You can also press Solo Clear once to turn
off the currently engaged Record Listen button. Press
Solo
Clear
a second time to clear channel solos, if any.
Dividing a Recording
You can divide an in-progress recording to create a new audio file
for the next song or cue during a performance. The previous re-
cording is saved, and the new recording continues until the re-
cording is stopped or the Record Divide button is clicked again.
To divide a recording:
1 While a recording is in progress, name the new file by clicking
in the Target File Name window, typing in a new name, and
pressing Enter.
2 Click the Record Divide button in the Transport.
Playing Back Audio from USB
The S3L system plays back WAV and MP3 files directly from
connected USB drives. To play back tracks, you must first add
tracks to the Playlist. You can then choose the play mode for
tracks and set the playback level.
Assigning USB Playback Outputs
The Patchbay is used to assign USB playback outputs to VENUE
system input channels. You can route USB playback outputs to
any input channels on your system.
To assign USB playback outputs to system input channels:
1 Go to the Patchbay page and click the Inputs tab.
2 Click the Engine hardware tab along the top of the channel
grid.
3 To the left of the channel grid, click the tab to display the de-
sired channel type in the grid.
4 Click in the channel grid to assign USB playback outputs
(listed across the top under the
USB column) to system Input
Channels or FX Returns (listed on the left).
The assigned channels appear in the Playback Output selectors
in the
Media > Playback window.
If you do not enter a name before clicking Record Divide,
the new file inherits the name from the previous file and is
appended with a number, such as “Untitled-1,” and “Un-
titled-2.”.
You can also “jump” directly to the Patchbay> Inputs
page from the Media > Playback window by clicking the
Playback Output selectors in the Record Input section.
