Connecting to a Computer
Connecting your StudioLive AR USB mixer to your computer is quick and
easy. For Mac users, just connect your mixer to a free USB connection on your
computer and you’re ready to go. For Windows users, you must first install
Universal Control AI. This will install both the ASIO/WDM driver and the control
panel for your StudioLive AR USB-series mixers. We made this installer as
simple and easy to follow as possible, and it will take you through each step
of the installation process. Please read each message carefully to ensure the
StudioLive driver and the control panel are properly installed. In particular, be
careful not to connect your StudioLive mixer to the computer too soon.

for the latest system requirements
and an updated list of compatible hardware. It is also recommend
that you check your recording software’s system requirements.
Power User Tip:
The speed of your processor, amount of RAM, and
capacity, size, and speed of your hard drives will greatly affect the overall
performance of your recording system. A faster processor and more RAM
can reduce signal latency (delay) and improve overall performance.
