Why we love this

This handbook bridges the gap between owning a StudioLive console and truly mastering it. Owsinski's direct collaboration with PreSonus means you're learning from someone who understands the manufacturer's design philosophy, not just reverse-engineering the manual. For directors running both live events and studio recording sessions, having one authoritative resource that covers monitor mixing, remote control, venue tuning, and mic placement saves countless hours of YouTube searching.

What to expect

Reading this handbook feels like having a skilled mentor in the room. Rather than abstract theory, you get concrete workflows: how to tune a system for a gymnasium versus an auditorium, how to build monitor mixes that performers actually want to hear, how to capture clean recordings during live performances. The writing assumes you know music and sound already; it's about mastering the tool.

Who it's for

Audio engineers, live sound technicians, recording producers, and music educators who work with StudioLive consoles across all generations. Anyone mixing live performances or recording in a studio environment with this hardware will find practical solutions to common challenges.

How to get the most out of it

Explore the remote mixing capabilities on your iPad before your first live show; setting up wireless control takes minutes but saves hours of troubleshooting during load-in.
Reference the mic placement chapter while setting up your ensemble's recording session; matching instrument-specific techniques to your room's acoustics directly improves raw track quality.
Configure your computer settings according to Part 1 before attempting any advanced feature; unlocking the console's full capabilities depends on proper system integration.
Study the stage monitoring section if you manage multiple musicians during live events; understanding feedback prevention at the source changes how you approach monitor mixes entirely.

How to use it

Use this as a reference manual during your first semester of hands-on work with the StudioLive console; working through the three-part structure alongside actual mixing tasks embeds the knowledge faster than memorizing specs. For live sound students, the venue tuning and remote mixing chapters become your foundation before taking on real performances or remote broadcast sessions.
