@dcaudio1 Did you install the universal control application from the presonus site? That is the first thing you gotta do. Universal control installs the driver so your mac can talk to the interface. Make sure you get it off of the Presonus Site, that way you will get the most current UC / Drivers. Let me know if you still can't get it happening

Thanks for the Presonus Drum recording video. It helped me get started with my StudioLive 16.0.2 set up and Studio One Artist. I'll probably upgrade the software to what you're using once I learn this version.

Quick question - What video camera are you using?

Thanks,

Brad

@CogitoErgoDrum My pleasure! I should be getting a 16.0.2 in the mail any day now :)

The cam I used in this video was the Canon HG21 with a cokin wide angle adapter. Without the wide angle I can't get the whole kit in the frame.... :) Pro version is nice :)

I'm always looking for new ideas for tutorial videos...hit me up if you have any thoughts on things that would help out :)

[dcaudio1]

Mike...love this video man. You tutorial on studio one is the best i have seen. Thanks for the posting and info..I am just getting started in the recording process. I picked up a firestudio project, superior drummer 2.0, and getting a mac pro. What advice can you give me to get me going. I still need to learn the software...

[michaelcurtisjr]

@dcaudio1 Sounds like you are on the right path. The main advice I would share is: Don't be afraid to try things. Get into the program and just start turning knobs, try all of the plug ins, so you are familiar with the tools you have at your disposal. Lastly don't waste time if you get stuck on something..... Someone else has probably already run into any obstacle you could come across.... Google is your friend :) and reading the manual is also good!

and.... you can always hit me up :)

@dcaudio1 I bought this snare at The Trading Musician in Seattle around 1993.... Igt has been my go to snare for years :)

[dcaudio1]

@joihjoll The Audiobox doesn't currently support the same "zero latency monitoring" that the firestudio does. However they claim 3.5ms latency roundtrip through the VSL mixer. I have hopes that they will work out the zero latency into the cue mix portion of studio one, But have not had any latency issues using the VSL mixer and the compressor is great to have in the monitoring mix for bass too! Thanks for your kind words.
