Question

Hy, is it possible to connect an 8 channels firestudio (or a 1818audiobox) to a computer for programinng a mix and after use the console for a live sound without the computer?

   I just want to use the MAIN OUT MIXED in a live sound without the computer.

      Anyone tryied that before?

    thanks!!

Answer 1

The FireStudio and the 1818VSL are both computer audio interfaces that require a computer to operate. These do not operate as stand alone mixer devices.

If a stand alone mixer is what you require, then you'll need to take a look at the StudioLive rack mixers for a solution.

Answer 2

I tried and it worked (need to wait about 10-20seconds after turning on Power; sync LED remains red) but i'm not sure it will always work as standalone as presonus.com don't support it. They said MacOSX 10.8 (what I have for now) is not supported at all.
