I am just curious are there any problems mapping this to Logic or Reaper?

[HousetopMedia]

@pjb213 No problems. Appears the same as any other multi-track audio interface in those programs.

Im just wondering if you have used the studiolive at a gig, and would it be possible to maybe get a video up of a full sound check and also maybe how the meters are during the gig. Ive been using my studiolive and have been struggling to get good levels across all instruments, and vocals even though the main output meter seems to be close to clipping.

[HousetopMedia]

@mickster82 If the overall output of the board is too low even when the main output meter is close to clipping that means you either need to turn up the gain knob on the back of the mixer, or you need to turn up the gain knob on your amplifier or powered speakers.

Thanks for doing this. I am moving away from analog, and have been looking at this board. Very helpful.

[HousetopMedia]

@drummerfromoly I made the switch from analog 2 years ago and haven't looked back. When you are ready to get one please give me a call. I'm a gold status Presonus dealer and I'll get you the best price possible. Plus I give free lifetime support on everything I sell, so any questions you have you can call me up and I can train you over the phone, skype or make another training video for you.

A better way is, after you make your speakers and board clip mark the spot where the amps clip. Turn amps all the way down. Set board output to unity, then turn speakers up till you hit the volume you need, while listening to an ipod. Start with subs. Get the leval you need of punch, then bring up mids then highs to ballance it out

Great tutorials. Just purchased the 24. The manual now makes a lot more sense thanks to your videos. Thanks for taking the time. I look forward to you posting more!

[MrTwostone]

Best bet is use the Channel Select LVL meter which is the far left meter from the main L/R meter and don't go past -15dBu's since it;s digital and scaled with dBu's.

@ivelat Watch training video #2. That's what it talks about. 

[ivelat]

Is it possible to save all these settings once you have all defined? What do you need to do, or if someone moves the faders you lose that?

[pjb213]

Thanks for the information, great to know I made the right choice. I just got home with it and saw your email. Now all I have to do is unbox and hook it up.
