StudioLive 16.4.2 - VSL part 1: Wireless Remote Control using a Laptop

[moro5150]

If there's no interenet? Is there another way to connect both laptops? or an ipad? DOES the whole Remote idea depend on a internet connection?

@moro5150

I have the same question, its been 7 months, any one answer this? Can you just create your own wifi from the master lap top to the slave lap top to create data flow without an official connection to the i-net , as they say must be done?

@bbqdad123 Sorry for the wait. I'm Ryan, the new Social Media Manager at PreSonus. I'm monitoring YT comments like yours daily. Unfortunately, your issue is complex and can't really be troubleshot via YT comments. I will, however, DM you the link to tech support immediately. Cheers!

Hey Rick, Wow I have the exact problem as jhinkens! I am trying to use the board with my 15 in macbookpro and can't get it to shown the faders either! I've got to find a solution! Perhaps that can be something they fix in the next update bc u the user should def have the option. Let me know if there is a solution please. Thanks for all ur very helpful videos!

Hey Rick,

I see you've got the faders displayed in VSL on your MacBook. Is it a 17" screen? When I launch VSL on my MacBook Pro 15" the faders display as round knobs. I read on the forum that it does that automatically when the screen resolution drops below 920 or so. My 15" MacBook Pro has a default resolution of 1440 by 900. How'd you do it?

Thanks

Great! I more reason I want one..can you do the wireless control with only one laptop..it's got to be a way. 2 laptops is expensive..

[ricknaqvi]

You can do it with one laptop and an iPhone/iPad/iPOD Touch. Check out the Part Two of this video where I show controlling VSL on an iPhone.

[excelsiorent]

@ricknaqvi - any insight on how controlling faders on VSL will affect fader position on the StudioLive without flying fader reaction? What will happen when you retake control of faders on the mixer after having adjusted on VSL?

[ricknaqvi]

@excelsiorent All you have to do is leave the board in 'FADER LOCATE' mode. This is a button on the top of the board. When you press this, the LED's show you the actual level of the faders so that if you change them with VSL, you can move them to the correct level before activating the audio so you don't have a jump in levels.

[kimomo28]

My VSL shows a knob instead of the faders that are shown in the video.anyone knows the reason why?

[excelsiorent]

@kimomo28 - I am informed it has to do with the resolution settings of your GUI. Switching to a higher resolution on your screen should bring about the full look of your faders, as the GUI tries to make everything fit your screen without scrolling.

[kimomo28]

@excelsiorent hi. thanks for the reply.Oh I see. I read alot about the GUI resolution thingy .I read around and understand that i need to be at least 1280x1024 resolution to see the fader but my MBP can only go up to a 1440x900.

any solution to this or is there hope for in the near future for VSL updates presonus regarding this limitation?

[excelsiorent]

@kimomo28 - An excellent question as I'm sure a lot of people will be running VSL on laptops; most of which have a native resolution max of 1440 x 900 like ours. I spent a couple of days scouring their forums but did not find an answer yet. They are really good about updating software and firmware though, so I'd expect to see that issue addressed as best they can.

[excelsiorent]

so you can adjust faders on the VSL, but without motorized faders on the board, what happens when you try to grab a fader on the board again... will it completely throw the sound out of whack?

[techelvis]

the iPad is the apple version of Jitterbug, its the iPod touch for old people....

I love Personus! nice job, dig the VSL!

Say goodbye to the snake!!

[afsecaira]

it has to be conected to the internet? or the netwok will do it..?

[ricknaqvi]

You can actually just create a network from the Mac using Airport without using the internet if you want.

[infectiousfiles]

I don't really like the IPAD but the IPAD would work great for this situation .. you could move around the venue ..while mixing and that's an awesome concept ..you basically would use your fingers for the mix and you wouldn't even need to sit down for that

[infectiousfiles]

@infectiousfiles my bad ..just realized you guys made a video doing that with the iPhone

[Kpowejr]

This is Crazy!!!! I just got use to using Studio One!!! Now I have to buy the StudioLive just so I can do this! I fricking Love Presonus!!!!

[afsecaira]
