Your StudioLive features a 32x18 FireWire interface. Any input and or bus with a Select button,
as well as the Solo bus, tape input, and talkback mic, can be recorded with any audio-recording
application that supports CoreAudio or ASIO. There are many such applications on the market
from which to choose. Please consult the documentation that came with your audio application
for specic instructions on how to select the StudioLive driver as the audio device driver for
your software. It is important to note that your 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.
