Once you have added your Tracks, you can assign the input by simply clicking
on the input to which a Track is currently assigned. This will bring up your
inputs list. You can also access the Audio I/O Setup from here.
If you would like to add a Track for each of the available inputs and have the
routing automatically assigned, simply go to Track|Add Tracks for All Inputs.
To begin recording, create an audio track, assign it to Input 1, and connect a microphone or instrument to
Channel 1 on the A/D device (DigiMax FS, DigiMax D8, etc.) that is connected to ADAT Input 1-8 on the
FireStudio Lightpipe. Select Record Enable ( ) and Monitor ( ) on your track in Studio One Artist. Turn
up the Channel 1 gain knob on your A/D device while speaking/singing into the microphone or playing your
instrument. You should see the input meter in Studio One Artist react to the input. Adjust the gain so the
input level is near its maximum without clipping.
Connect a set of headphones to the FireStudio Lightpipe headphone output. You may also wish to connect
monitors to the FireStudio Lightpipe’s Main Outs. You are now ready to record. For complete instructions,
please consult the Studio One
Reference Manual, which is located on your Studio One Artist Installation
DVD.
Creating MIDI Tracks
Click on the Add Tracks button. When the Add Tracks window launches, select
Instrument as the Track Format and click the OK button.
To assign your MIDI input, click on the MIDI Inputs list and select your
external sound module.
If you have added Virtual Inputs to your session, you will also see them as
available inputs.
If you selected your MIDI keyboard controller as the default keyboard, it will
already be selected. If not, choose your MIDI controller from Output menu
directly below.
To the left of the Add Track button, you will find the Inspector button. Click it
to display more parameters for the selected track.
At the bottom of the Inspector menu, you will see your Bank and Program
selections. From here, you can remotely change the patch on your sound
module.
