3.1.1 Advanced WDM Features (Windows Only)
Like the FireStudio-family interfaces, the StudioLive features advanced WDM
features to enhance its use as an audio interface. In the upper left-hand corner
of the Universal Control Launcher window, you will find the Settings menu.
From here, you can configure your WDM input and output streams. For more
information on FireWire sends and returns, please consult Section 2.5.
Mac users: Please review Section 2.7 for important information
about using your StudioLive as your main Core Audio device.
Your StudioLive can be used as the main WDM device for a Windows computer,
and you can route the main outputs of your computer to any of its available output
streams. By default, these streams are routed to Channels 1 and 2 on your StudioLive.
Because of this, StudioLive 16.0.2 users do not need to do any further
setup to use the Main FireWire Return in their monitor bus to listen to
iTunes or the latest PreSonus video. For StudioLive 16.4.2 and 24.4.2
owners, however, this presents an obvious limitation in that you will use
up two input channels on your StudioLive just for WDM playback.
Channels 25-26/17-18 are available through the FireWire Return buttons
inside the 2 Track In and Monitor sections of the StudioLive 16.4.2 and
24.4.2, and we recommend that you use these channels for WDM playback.
The following instructions will help you configure your StudioLive to
be used as the main audio playback device for your computer.
1. In the Launch window, go to Settings | WDM setup. The WDM Channel Mapper
window will open. By default, WDM Outputs 1 and 2 are routed to StudioLive
Channels 1 and 2. As previously mentioned, we recommend that they be set,
instead, to Channels 25-26/17-18.
2. To begin, check the box next to Output.
