Question

How to connect an analog Studio-Live mixer (specifically the Peavy PV20 Mixer) to Studio One for studio mixing and recording?

This specific mixer is made by Peavy and is called the Peavy PV20 USB/Live mixer board. When I plug it into my computer and load up Studio One 2, the mixer board is selectable as a source for recording but when I select the option I don't know how to:

1 - Arm the actual board

2 - Get a signal out of it through Studio One 2

3 - Arm and access each channel on my mixer board into the mixer

Generally I just need more information on how to connect an analog/USB mixer board and how to work Studio One 2 correctly in order to read the board, arm channels and record with it for mixing and studio recording. If you could help me with this I would truly appreciate it! Thank you!

Hey Lance, you'll want to connect your mixer to your computer via the USB connection in order to set it up as an audio device in Studio One 2. Once you've connected the mixer via USB, you can watch this video on how to set up an audio device:

And here's another video that'll show you how to add new tracks and arm them for recording:
