4.4 Studio Recording
In the project or professional studio, the FireStudio is extremely powerful and flexible.
Here are a few typical set up examples.
Create separate headphone mixes for each musician
• Setup your recording software (DAW) respectively to record your input
channels to individual tracks. Doing so is specific to your recording software
(DAW).
• The FireStudio Control Console allows you to create up to 9 separate Mixes for
each of your artists in your studio. You can control what each of your artists
hear and what they want or need to hear.
• For instance, the drummer might only want to hear the click track and a bass
guitar, while the vocalist may not want the drums in his headphones or
monitors.
• Mix 1 might typically be your Control Room mix, the mix that the engineer
wants to hear. Mix 2-9 can be specific to each of your artists and can be
assigned to any hardware output of the FireStudio.
• You can then connect headphone amplifiers and or monitors to the FireStudio’s
hardware outputs.
NOTE: you can assign a Mix to any Hardware Outputs with the Quick Output buttons
in each Mixer view and also in the Output/Router view. The Engineer can also
audition the audio for any hardware output. Reference audition feature outlined in
section 3.3 Matrix Router and see Example 7.
Mix “outside your computer” using a mixing board or summing mixer
• Connect all hardware outputs of the FireStudio to the line level inputs of your
mixer board.
• Then return the Main or an Aux L/R output of the mixer board to available
input channels of the FireStudio.
