I hope the photo can show the approach better than the previous photo.

I add a picture from a project this week, where I used the Lexicon reverb on FX A and a delay/reverb chain on FX B. As an example: If you do not want to use any of the reverbs on FX A, route the USB signal of FX A to a track in Studio, add a bus with a stock reverb or plugin and route the stereo return back to the console via "Tape In". There are two options: You can use the SENDS of Studio One and effects busses/chains or you can route the FX sends of a StudioLive mixer through Studio One and "replace" the built-in effects by plugins. "Tape In" (Digital Return) is the standard return of Studio One's main bus, which sums up all processed sends. Reverbs, delays, chorus and flanger typically are stereo effects, so Studio One needs to be able send to one or several stereo returns to the StudioLive mixer. We have been dealing with the standard "insert" approach, which is good for any mono signal. It will cost some money, but if the music is worth it, why not.?Īs I wrote, there are TWO ways of using Studiio One, or actually THREE.

Still for this year awaited is the Waves AVB Sound Grid, which was developed with a Series III mixer as interface, so if Waves plugins are interesting, this will probably be the best and easiest way to integrate them into your workflow. PreSonus still offers "PSc Rok & Rak PreSonus Certified Computers" in their shop, which are optimized for audio, so it makes sense to check the features. The slowest and weakest part of the chain is always the computer. ), but when you use PreSonus hardware and PreSonus software, you can be sure that they will work very well together. I can't answer the ASIO/Core Audio question (I'm a musician. What kind of plugins are you planning to use in your vocal channels/tracks? But there are enough equalizers and compressors available in the StudioLive mixers and in Studio One (Fat Channel plugins), so you don't really need ANY additional equalizer or compressor plugin. An equalizer does not really add latency, a compressor does, but you don't really hear it. Using stereo effects in Studio One needs a different approach and will use sends and returns instead of inserts.Įverything depends on what plugins you want to use. Therefore it makes no sense to insert stereo effects in ONE channel/track. It should be clear that "inserting" the processing of Studio One to a channel is mono only. Actually this has been so since the "legacy" mixers and FireWire. The 1:1 routing is automatically set when you create a song in Studio One and load the template of your mixer, so this is the normal way of using Studio One with a StudioLive mixer in a live environment.

One interesting detail: Most of the Studio One stock plugins (say they) have zero latency, when you click on the CPU control meter in Studio One and open the list of processing items. When there is no processing happening in Studio One on any track, there is no latency and anyway latency always has to do with plugins being used.

This is the basic routing of a signal from the StudioLive mixer through Studio One and back to the channel (1 as example) again. Its just that I find the stock Presonus reverbs in Studio One to be much easier to tailor and tweak.Ĭhannel 1 -> Track 1/Insert Processing -> Channel 1 They just need a little more "treble" and "pan".Īgreed, I do have a pretty decent reverb dialed in using one of the Firmware SL 32 reverbs. Wahlerstudios wroteYes, there could and should be some improvements for the available reverbs, but they do NOT sound "bad". I also use hi pass filter on my reverb channels to only be adding reverb to frequencies I am wanting.ĭo you run EQ before or after Reverb? I am sure there are pros and cons to each I do EQ on the Studiolive now on the FX channel master, but not coming back to the mix. Add 2 dB at 5 kHz on the send and on the return and listen. Wahlerstudios wroteAnd one more thing, which is easily forgotten: No reverb and delay sounds "good" without equalization. Would I still have to use that in Studio One passing thru to the Studiolive? It cannot be loaded in the Studiolive firmware on the board? Wahlerstudios wroteAs a user of PreSonus hardware you have access to a Lexicon "teaser" reverb, which is quite usable.
