FET, Tube Compressor not Available Once I Enable DAW Mode
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2019 10:56 pm
Hello, It has been a very long time since I got back into recording. This week, I purchased the beautiful StudioLive 16 Series 3 Mixer. I can't believe how far recording has come; This thing is amazing.
After unboxing the mixer, I messed around with the mixer in standalone mode, while wearing some headphones. I'm starting out with on Microphone in Input 1, enabled some compression, Gate, etc.
Today, I decided to hook everything up to the computer and start messing with recording.
I was able to setup all of the networking stuff properly (I have no trouble with networking/protocols, etc, so I was able to Setup UCNET, Connect the USB and Ethernet properly and turned on "software control" for the transport controls).
My Issue:
My problem/confusion starts when I launch Studio One, setup my project, and then enabled "DAW" mode. When I enable DAW mode, the "Comp" / "Gate" / "EQ" Buttons are not active any more. What I was really hoping to do is keep those "per-channel" compressor effects active, so that my computer doesn't have do it. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Can you tell me why I can't use those effects when DAW Mode is active?
Basically when I connect this mixer to my computer and enable DAW mode, my confusion begins. I really want to use this thing for a Podcast setup (I bought this for the on-board effects and recording capability to avoid having to buy external effects processors), and to mic up my drumset and record some nice tracks.
Any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
