Thanks for the video Ray! I have the following situation, in my church I want to receive the audio from the console via usb, to process it in the daw Studio One, since we transmit all the services live, but the last time we did it, it turns out that the boys (musicians) also get the audio with effects, and it is annoying to be listening in their in-ears the effects that are applied to the drums such as a compressor, the reverbs of the voices, and all those effects, in the transmission, everything is very good, but I need the analog signal to reach the boys as it enters the console. Is there a way to configure the Mix outputs in the Studio Live console in such a way that the signal that comes out of there is the analog? Thanks a lot.

[@ProducersVault]

Great video totally makes perfect sense now

[@stephenpertesis7710]

Can you "soft patch" POST fat channel? As in, if I want two compressors on a signal, can I send that signal to another channel POST effects from the first of the two channels?

[@franksmith183]

Hi! I love your tutorials. Question: Is it possible to route input line 1 on my mixer to record on input 5, with changing the cable? I have Studiolive 32s III

[@Cando79]

If the band is using the earmix system, is the AVB the source for earmix for the band in the soft patching? If not what source is used for the earmix unit the for band?

[@uptownphotography]

Great video and I have a question please. I have the 32S model, which I have not used yet (I bought it fairly recently). I am rewiring my studio for a hybrid setup where on a mix down I would like to use, at times, some vintage outboard gear. (Like an Eventide H3000 and some vintage digital reverbs like Yamaha REV 7 and Lexicon PCM 42 Digital Delay). Question: Is it best to send the the audio to the outboard gear using the Sub Outputs (like an aux send on an analog console) and return the FX stereo audio return signal via either the Aux inputs and/or a line input. There's only 2 stereo Aux inputs on the 32S, so I would prefer being able to use the line inputs (as returns) so if needed, I can return 3 or more stereo FX return signals into the mix down. Thanks for any info you can share as I am used to using an analog console. Phil NYC Area

[@musicproject]

is digital patching available on the 24R (rack) as well ?

[@philosopherhobbs]

What if I want multiple inputs to go to the same channel to act as a drum buss to maybe compress the drums as a whole rather than just each individual instrument?

[@mstproduction9857]

What if i don't wan't to send a channel to any of the AVB or USB channels ? Eg don't want to send out the intercom MIX to AVB by accident. In UC the grid is to big, lot of scrolling ... sorry

[@myronsamuels8798]

hey is it possible to route an output to create a monitor wedge for a guest singer, who doesnt use IEMS to sing along to a track. like take the output maybe from XLR into a DI box and the DI box with a instrument jack into a speaker? then route the output to match the computer channel to let the singer hear it?

[@franksmith183]

Can you please explain how to setup my outboard gear to work with studiolive 32s and pipeline XT. Thank you for your time. George.

[@JotunStudio]

Hi, silly question here: when you´re assigning your analog outputs related to your mixes I see that Mix 1 is assigned to Mix1 output, but I thought mixes were stereo, so is the physical output labeled as Mix 1 stereo too? I'm thinking of buying a Stereolive Series III but I´ve got a lot of questions about it and I´m trying to figure them out. Thanks!

[@TheRickdoggie]

You have 16 mono mix outputs. But they can be stereo linked to give you 8 stereo mix outputs.

[@RecordingStudio9]

PreSonus should re-name the physical Mix outputs as Aux rather than Mix as this gets confusing, sending Mix 1 to Mix 1.

[@turker5859]

@@RecordingStudio9 I was confused as hell as well.. I wanna send my channel aux to my DAW, and not my mix.. thank you man..

[@franksmith183]

Hi Ray! Hi Rick! Question, can outboard gear be connected to studiolive 32s, without using a DAW. If so please explain. Thanks.

[@kayboog2000]

Would love to soft patch the monitor/phones outputs

[@jellebolijnlive]

Hi! I would like to route the main output + mix 1/2/3/4/5/6 outputs to my headphone output. Is this possible? I use the studiolive 16r.

[@carloschavez4554]

Hey Ray, We recently bought 10 Earmix 16 units. I was able to create a mix for one of those but haven’t been able to do separate mix for the other units. We have a Studiolive 3 mixer @ FOH and a Studiolive 32R stage box and a couple of the SW5E switches. The manual doesnt show how to work with muliple Earmixs and also nothing on youtube. Can you please make a tutorial on how to do separate mixes for each earmix?

[@TheRickdoggie]

[@EyeOneFifty]

If I have a stereo aux mix on channels 17 & 18 which mix is that when selected from the top? Also in stereo one the numbers for the main out is something like 37 & 38… it makes it very hard to understand what is what

[@adamellistutorials]

How do I send channel 3/4 to my main output (tape in) I’m so confused

[@halasimov1362]

Will this work for PA management? Need crossover solution for 4 way stereo plus mono for subs. 9 outputs with individual crossover settings?

[@madrooster7]

Pretty sure you could do that on any digital mixer, though it's a really inefficient use of the outputs when a cheap hardware crossover will split out to amps just fine, if you're only splitting the same signal. There's already a separate mono mix on this and most others, that you can EQ separately however you like, and feed a sub or front fills, and I use multiple mix outputs for delays all the time, and often one for a sub on an aux mix, so only instruments I want in the sub get sent to it. We also use this feature all the time to feed Q&A foldbacks, or a mix minus for something like a skype call where you wouldn't want to feed the skype's audio back into itself, but want it in the mains.

[@calvingudu9237]

I am using SL64S connected to a MacBook for UC surface and reaper for broadcast mix. The problem is that I get random recurring drop outs on FOH and clll mixes. What could going on here? Please help.

[@gtlittlejr.1608]

How do you route a signal to the FlexMix from a channel? I want to send 6 DISCRETE SOURCES out of FlexMix Outs 1 - 6 ONLY. Can anybody here tell me how to do that?

[@claudiobarbero6635]

AVB don´t work in windows environment for multitrack recording

[@kenjc22]

would this digital patching be the way to connect aviom in ear system?

[@madrooster7]

You're overthinking it, just mix a monitor bus and physically plug it to the in-ear instead of an amp for a wedge.

[@esnoel32]

I bought a new Studio live 32 but it does not have the SMAART tool tat older 24.4 console used to have to eliminate feedback..is there any other way it can be done or is it hidden? please make a video about it.

[@harold12A]

It’s even been discontinued on their website ! I don’t think I would really buy another product from them. We can’t even get the 32 channel stagebox that works with this mixer cos it’s also been discontinued.

Are they all recalled with different scenes?

Curious about this myself. Patching presets would be nice.

[@stingray1122]

Yes, they are saved/recalled with scenes and there is also a filter in case you don't want to recall them with a scene.

Send Warren Haurt a 64s for review please. I would love to hear how he thinks it stacks up against his Audient console. I think you can win him over

Big beard, my little pony shirt = this guy knows what he’s talking about. Question? I have a stereo input from a PC for welcome music etc. that is in input 10 L & 11 R. How do I link those together?

[@MarkOfWA]

Digital patching on StudioLive doesn't work anything like I would want or expect. For example, the tiny selection of potential sources for the AES output made it useless to us.

[@hp7vlogs]

We need a standalone update the recording sucks

[@dough7189]

I'm so sorry. Presonus is hard to use. Somebody has got to say so. They appear to have their own name for everything so you can't even look up how to accomplish simple things. Their system is not straight forward. It is option heavy, all at once, to the point of befuddlement.
