Record with or without Fat Channel or DSP effects processing. Create mixes, loops, sound effects and more, then bring them out to your show and mix them with the live performance.  Process channels using your favorite plug-ins, and completely automate your entire show using your favorite music recording and production software.

StudioLive features an innovative and intuitive "QuickTouch" design allowing fast access to every parameter, mix, effect, and aux, allowing quick and creative control during music production.  Load and save functions are also included to create snapshots of channel settings, save effect settings, totally recalling a mix, and more.  All digital mixing and effects processing is done with 32-bit floating point precision.

The heart of StudioLive is the "Fat Channel" engaged by pressing any "select" button, and features extensive equalization and dynamics available to every input channel, every aux output, every subgroup output, and main output.  High-pass filter, and four-band semi-parametric equalization algorithms are based on PreSonus' custom-designed digital EyeQ™ equalizer.  Also included in the Fat Channel are compressors, limiters and gates modeled after PreSonus’ award-winning ACP88 for complete dynamics control.

Two programmable 32-bit stereo DSP effects engines are loaded in StudioLive with a wide range of reverbs, delays, and time-based effects with easy-to-use parameter adjustment, tap tempo, store, recall, and scene selection.

StudioLive allows you to save all of your digital settings for quick setup and recall.  Save "scenes" (all settings) including fader levels with LED position matching, channel strips (Fat Channel), and individual DSP effects.

All digital mixing is done with ultra-high headroom 32-bit floating point processing for optimal sonic performance.  Analog input and output is converted to digital audio with the highest-quality digital converters available delivering dynamic range of +118dB for spectacular results.

StudioLive includes PreSonus' award-winning FireWire technology with JetPLL™ synchronization delivering 22 channels of recording and 18 channels of simultaneous playback.  Each FireWire recording channel can be set to record either pre- or post- Fat-Channel signal processing giving total flexibility and power.  StudioLive can also return 18 FireWire playback channels from your recording and production software for remixing and live performance with pre-recorded tracks, as well as studio mixing using the mixer's internal signal processing and summing algorithms.  StudioLive is compatible with Mac and Windows audio recording and production software including Logic, Nuendo, Cubase, Sonar, Digital Performer, Audition and more.

StudioLive 16.4.2 also ships complete with Capture multi-track recording software.  Capture software was designed to interface with StudioLive 16.4.2 perfectly to allow instant setup and recording of performances.  StudioLive HDR software gives you full editing capability as well as export to .wav file formats for compatibility with ProTools, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, Sonar and all other recording and music production software - or you can play back your recorded tracks into StudioLive 16.4.2 via FireWire and mix your tracks with the mixing power and capabilities of StudioLive 16.4.2, then record the final mix back to Capture.
