hi, i know this video is a bit older now, but i have a few questions i am hoping you can answer. I am contemplating buying a PreSonus FireStudio Project second hand. The seller has lost the software except cubase, which i am not purchasing, as i am using pro tools 9.

I think i can get a current driver from the site, but what i would like to know is:

a) will the driver contain software to make separate personalised headphone mixes?

b) will this software work on pro tools 9?

Thanks!

[ObediaTutor]

@soundslykmusic All of your routing for headphone mixes will need to be done in protools, and the universal mixing software which comes with most presonus devices, now.

[soundslykmusic]

@ObediaTutor thanks man, that helps!

[ObediaTutor]

@soundslykmusic Anytime!  Thank you! Sub for more.

[dre1on3]

does this has usb hook ups

[ObediaTutor]

@dre1on3 No - this connects via firewire.

[Mianmeli25]

would you be able to do the separate headphone mixes in a live gig situation while recording? if so, how would you do it? thanks

[ObediaTutor]

@Mianmeli25 You could do that. You would need to setup headphone mixes in Cubase from the VST connections section. This is figuring you are using Cubase, of course. let me know what you are using, if not that.

[romans421]

Ok, so I've tried and tried to figure this out, but when I sent the signals for separate mixes to Firecontrol any track I turn up or down affects everyone's mix.

I am using Logic Pro 8 for and my headphone amp is a Behringer HA4700 - Powerplay PRO-XL 4.

Any idea's?

Thanks

[ObediaTutor]

@romans421 This is a more complex routing that you want to do, I'd need to work with you one on one to really take care of the issue.

@Jed9133 You can add VST FX to the instrument track that EZdrummer is on, or add them to your master track in cubase.

nice vid!

i got 2 questions..

1. are the general outputs stero or mono?

2. and can u assign anything to any output? - there are no decidicated general outputs for a specific thing?

Thx!

[ObediaTutor]

@SlashRulesGibson22 Hey there,

The outputs are each mono outs, to create stereo pairs.

You can assign anything to any output, using software routing.

thanks!

Hei! one question....

For example, i have a drumset with 8 mics.... i connect all of them in the presonus.

Can i capture each mic in a diferent track (everymic at the same time a in diferent tracks) and equalize each track separaretly after recording?. Than you so much

[ObediaTutor]

@xbladero yes, you can. you need to send each mic channel to a separate channel in cubase.

[xbladero]

@ObediaTutor that is arming each track to each channel yes?

[ObediaTutor]

@xbladero yessir.

[xbladero]

@ObediaTutor thank you very much^^

[ObediaTutor]

@xbladero you got it, thank you!

[benthemiester]

One other question. Do you have a tutorial on how to use multiple drives efficiently in terms of setting up audio to dedicated drives. I hear some even have dedicated drives for pluggins. I know every program is different but the basics are similar.

[benthemiester]

Great video. To think we once lived in the analogue 2 inch tape world, what fun that was.....not!

[ObediaTutor]

@benthemiester thanks! Glad you like it, and glad to help!

@intellefex1 We can! We'll send you a promo code for some free time with one of our tutors... would you be interested in that?

[flutsh1]

why would you adjust the volume of the singers mix on the Presonus mixer?

If you gonna record a singer in Cubase, you can send it right from the cubase sends right?

the latency should be just like a few milli-sec's that way, right?

to me your makeing it harder then it is... or am I so wrong? lol

thnx for the video's tho!

cheers

[ObediaTutor]

@flutsh1 Well, yes, but there's two volume levels here; you need to find a good balance between them. To rely solely on Cubase's mixer won't always do all you need.

[phloyd500]

Is there anybody out there?

[ObediaTutor]

@phloyd500 we're here! what can we help you with?

[DJMNM310]

Im using this firestudio project with Cubase studio 4.. I want to purchase a 4 or 8 channel headphone amp for my live recordings.. i need help on how to set up that headphone amp and how to give each headphone amp user his own mix.. its a little confusing because theres setting to change in cubase AND in the control consol that came with the presonus hardware... ANY help will be appreciated..

@DJMNM310 We can help you, we can send you a promo code for some free time with one of our tutors, would you be interested in that?

FireControl is shown here for the PC, is it safe to assume that identical software is provided for the Mac platform? I would very much like to see how the FireControl software works (is integrated) on a Mac! I am thinking about buying the Project Studio. Does Presonus have a Mac-friendly track history?

[dlmahtani7]

Hi.

I use the Firestudio Project on my MacBook Pro. It works perfectly, and very similar to the Windows version.

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

If I were you I would go with mac based hardware like MOTU rack units.

[ObediaTutor]

@TheFutureLooksGrimm MOTU stuff is good, but more expensive. You can get by just fine with Presonus hardware.

[SmileAtMyAss]

Practically the only people i've heard complaining about Presonus are mac users. If I were you, I'd do a lot of research before purchasing the Firestudio.

[ObediaTutor]

@SmileAtMyAss Everyone has their own issues, nothing is across the board, it's really up to the user in the end.

[whittonmatt]

did you ever get a response or use the presonus with a Mac?

Thanks

[gguillo]

The answer is yes. I am currently tracking in a studio where the sound engineer has a Presonus FireStudio Project, Two Focusrite OctoPre Platinums, and a MOTU 8pre all integrated together working into Digital Performer 7... using a MacPro.

Here are the specs from PreSonus' website:

Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later (10.6 supported driver 3.4.2)

PowerPC G4 1.25 GHz or Intel Core Solo 1.5 GHz processor (2 GHz or faster recommended)

1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)

Hope this helps.
