VSL  

Virtual StudioLive Quick Start Guide

 

VSL - Browser

VSL is a highly advanced editor/librarian and control application that is completely integrated with the 
StudioLive 16.4.2. Because of the continuous bidirectional communication between your StudioLive 
and VSL, whatever you do on the StudioLive‘s control surface will be re

fl

 ected in VSL and vice versa.

When you 

fi

 rst launch VSL, notice the Browser window along the right side of the screen. The Browser 

in VSL functions similarly to the Browser in Studio One. From the Browser, you can see all of the 
Scenes, Fat Channel presets, FX presets, and graphic EQ settings that are saved on your StudioLive 
and on your computer. You can also create new settings and can back up your entire library from this 
window. Simply drag-and-drop a Scene or preset to load it on your StudioLive.

Get Button

Transfers All Scenes, Fat Channel, FX, and Graphic 
EQ Presets Stored on the StudioLive to VSL

When you 

fi

 rst launch VSL, you will need to create a link 

between your StudioLive‘s internal memory and your 
computer. To do this, click on the Get button.

A dialog will open, prompting you to click the transfer 
button. Any settings that are temporarily stored in the 
local cache (i.e., settings that are currently visible in the 
Device Memory section of the Browser window) will be 
overwritten.

Add to Disk Button

Transfers all Scenes, Fat Channel, FX, and Graphic EQ 
Presets from Temporary Memory to the Permanent 
Cache

VSL allows you to back up your Scenes, Fat Channel, 
FX, and graphic EQ presets and permanently store them 
on your computer. Each type of preset can be added 
separately. In this way, you can back up only what you 
want, when you want.

To move a Scene or preset from temporary memory into 
permant memory, simply select one preset or Scene and 
click the Add to Disk button. To select multiple presets, 
hold the Shift key while making your selections.
