4-4 Using Sound Blaster Live!
Main deck
The top area of the Main deck allows you to:
•
Select tasks or save, delete, import and export Super-Environment presets. You can save
endless combinations of these settings as Super-Environment presets for the selected
speaker output. A Super-Environment preset, when selected, is your passport to a one-
step automatic configuration of speakers, mixer and effects for whatever you want to do:
play a particular game, record to a particular medium, record or play in a particular
style—each style having its unique set of positions of audio input sources. These presets
can then be configured for use in Creative Launcher's Live!Task.
The three buttons at the left side of the Main deck allows you to switch between three different
views:
•
In the Effects view, you can select and create your audio environment and position audio
sources within the speaker configuration space.
•
In the Speaker view, you can select your speaker setup and perform a speaker output test.
•
In the Spectrum view, you can select and display the spectrum analyzer during playback
or recording.
Mixer deck
The Mixer deck allows you to:
•
Mix sounds from various audio input sources when playing or recording;
•
Adjust the volume level for the audio input sources;
•
Adjust the treble and bass level, front/rear or left/right balance.
