A quick guide to getting things connected

In this video, we’re taking a quick run through of setting up the StudioLive Series 3 mixer with StudioOne 4 DAW software for the first time. While there are lots of various control, routing & networking possibilities with these consoles, that same potential may also seem overwhelming when you’re unboxing your new mixer. I’ve noticed a good number of comments on various posts, forums, and videos where people are expressing frustration with the myriad options when setting things up for the first time. I thought it would be a good idea to step back and do a quick look at the fundamentals of direct connection between the mixer and software.

To follow along, you’ll need the supplied USB and CAT5 cables. We’ll be setting-up DAW Mode through the UCNet (Universal Control Network) settings, (The UCNet button is BESIDE the DAW button on the console surface) and this example will use a completely manual network setup. No router, switch, or DHCP is used. It would be more common to use a router, WiFi, & DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses to the devices on your network, but if you are having trouble connecting, a manual static network is a great place to start.

Please let us know in the comments if you have any issues, questions or suggestions about setting up DAW mode on the StudioLive Series 3.
