The StudioLive 32.4.2 AI is a major redesign and step up from the previous top model, the (non-AI) StudioLive 24.4.2, and incorporates a more powerful CPU and significantly increased memory, and employs parts of the Presonus Studio One DAW audio engine.Īlthough this is clearly a product with a wide target audience, my objective was to have a look at the StudioLive AI from a hands-on, live-sound point of view, so that's what I have focused on here. The name 'StudioLive' illustrates its dual mission in life as a live-sound mixer and recording mixer/interface, and the new AI designation stands for 'active integration', which describes how hardware and software design has been brought together to take advantage of all the available processing, recording, distribution and wireless/network control options. PreSonus' StudioLive range of mixers have been updated and upgraded to 'AI' versions, and are, as before, available in three sizes with either 16, 24 or 32 mono input channels. Then you have 24 inputs to use for tracking and as many tracks as you want in Studio One.PreSonus' attempt to make digital mixing feel like analogue pays dividends in this new flagship model from the popular StudioLive range. just do it in studio One and monitor it all thru the S1 MAIN outputs assigned to the monitor module FW input on the 2442 to get this to your studio monitors and headphones. it is just an interface! so running the recorded tracks back into the mixer channels will not give you more control at all. Keep in mind the 2442 is NOT a controller for Studio One. ![]() Latency may also be an issue depending on your system and how you set it up. You might have to experiment with your headphones and monitoring to get it right. You make headphone mixes for the musicians to over dub to with these. ![]() these you will use as your headphone sends to the headphone distro system. make a few mono or stereo bus in the S1 mixer. if you have the latest version of S1 you also have the same fat channel plug ins as you do on the board if you want em! in the I/O you can see it has all the aux outputs. just use the MIAN bus in Studio One and return that on the FW in the control room monitor module on the 2442 so you can monitor the mix on your studio monitors and be able to SOLO tracks etc. ![]() I would not recommend using it to mix on or bring your tracks back as you will probably need and use more than 24 tracks once you get going with over dubs etc. What you do with the board is use it as an interface into Studio One. You should have your studio monitors connected to the MONITOR outputs NOT the MAINS. then you need to set up your I/O to feed these. the 2442 has AUX mixes you can designate as headphone feeds but you will need and IEM system or some type of multi headphone amp/distro like the Presonus HP4 or HP60. to do over dubs you need to use headphone mixes and monitor what is recorded as you lay down the next layers. is a bit different deal that just capturing a live event. ![]() recording with overdubs and adding things etc. name all your channels and SAVE AS TEMPLATE so you have that custom version to start all your recordings, once you start a new session from your custom Template rename and save AS with a new name so it leaves your Template intact. Supt2 is right just open the 2442 template and set up your own template from that.
