CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

3.1 PRESONUS FIRECONTROL SOFTWARE

The FireControl is a powerful, flexible and easy to use solution for creating multiple mixes from your inputs and DAW playback streams with zero latency. It allows you to create a zero-latency mix with up to 18 of your input and output signals for each of your FireStudio Project’s output pairs.

The FireControl also acts as the FireStudio Project’s control panel with the ability to change various hardware and software settings of the FireStudio Project hardware and drivers.

The Mixer section of the FireControl was designed to look and ‘feel’ like a hardware mixer, so most of the features may already be familiar to you. The following section describes in detail the FireControl layout and the functions of the various buttons found in the FireControl.

3.1.1 FireControl Application Icon

Once you have successfully installed your FireStudio Project, the FireControl will be available from the Notification Area of your taskbar (typically at the bottom right corner of your screen near the clock).

The FireControl icon is red when your FireStudio Project is disconnected or not installed and blue when the FireStudio Project is connected and properly installed.

Open the FireControl by double-clicking the blue FireControl icon or by right-clicking the icon and selecting “Open PreSonus FireControl”.

Right-click the FireControl icon and select “Quit” to completely exit the FireControl application and remove it from your Taskbar.

Mac OS X users will find the FireControl application in the Applications folder.
