To ensure the safety of the audio equipment connected to it, the StudioLive will 
mute all outputs for two seconds when the sample rate is changed and while it is 
connecting to a computer. Because of this, it very important that the sample rate 
be selected and locked in prior to beginning any recording or performance.

Power User Tip:

 It is important to think of your FireWIre returns just like your analog 

inputs. When a FireWire return is engaged, it replaces the analog input in the mix. You 
can process in the Fat Channel, include in Aux mixes, and send it to an FX mix.
