Question

Greetings! In the StudioLive AR16's review, it is said that this console "is great for backing tracks, click tracks, or program music."

Does it mean that I can somehow use it for playing backing tracks paired with a click-track, the metronome being sent only to the musicians' in-ears while the playback is both in the monitors and in the main mix?

Normally, I would create a stereo file with the click track panned hard left and the backing track hard right, and then use a splitter cable coming from a laptop to route the click and the loops into two separate channels.

The question is: is there any way I can do that using only the Super Channel? Or do I still have to use the splitter cable and occupy one or two of the input channels on the board?

Best regards, Kirill.

Answer 1

You have 2 x Stereo DAW Returns. You could send the Click to 3/4 output and playback on 1/2. Send to monitor / FOH as needed.

Answer 2

I have the same question, I had try by routing the click to the 3/4 output with studio one but I wasn't be able to find the 3/4 physic output in the studio live Ar16, could be sound foolish but when I route the playback on 1/2 is the only thing I can hear in the main output, control room, aux output or wherever, is there something I missed ? thank you.
