Question

If I record a guitar directly from the AR12 to my PC, it bypasses the EQ and just gives me the raw signal.

Am I doing something wrong or is this actually how the console operates?

Is there any workaround for this? its a little frustrating...

Answer 1

The StudioLive AR12 USB send is post pre amp, meaning that the signal sent via USB on channels 1-12 will be from just after the pre amps. This is by design and a function found on most digital desks. There is no means to record the EQ on individual channels. You will need to record the main left and right signal in order to record the processing done on the mixer.
