As it explains inside of the Software Reference Manual, page 37, you assign the "Main Mix" in Setup of Virtual Studio Live (Universal Control), to record the Main mix. It also states that this mix will be recorded without the FX bus - there is no way to internally, through firewire, record any FX bus in the 16.0.2 mixer. Therefore, you will need to setup your Studio One 2 software to accommodate your flexible inputs.
