I have had this for several months and really like it. I compared it directly to an SQ6. While not as sexy as the SQ6, I can honestly say I think it sounds better out of the box. Cleaner, quieter and much better low end. You can record more channels on board and it has much better DAW integration and control software. The one area that is lacking is onboard effects, they just aren't very good.
Thanks Rick! You are an excellent presenter! I get more info from your videos than any other Presonus presenter. You cover things very thoroughly at a reasonable pace that's easy to follow & absorb. I wish you were producing more help videos as well because I find Presonus doesn't cover enough basic setups for new products that they introduce. I currently own both a Studiolive 32 Series 111 mixer & a Studiolive 32R (rack mount mixer) which I want to use as a Stage Box connected via an AVB (network CAT6 cable) in my home studio. I've watched some of Ray's videos but they don't cover the topic thoroughly enough. I have nothing against his video presentation but I think the help video he produced was created shortly after the Studiolive 32R was introduced because the procedure he discusses is not what happens when I try to follow his recommendations. Perhaps the Firmware was a different version than the one I have installed in my mixer & stage box, but the procedure to connect the two is not the same. I've tried to get a clear picture of the procedure to set up my Studiolive 32R as a Stage Box via AVB routing it into my Studiolive 32 Series 111 mixer but so far I have not succeeded! Where can I go to get additional help so I can get this connected? Thanks, guys!
I had a Presonus 1602 and it threw me for loops. Repeatedly. And the Firewire was temperamental. It had a heat issue, no fan. Then I bought an A&H SQ-5, which arrived without a printed manual in the box - and the miracle was: I figured it out without the book! I was recording before I ever downloaded the reference manual. I expected it to be difficult, but I bought it for its short and synchronous latency and FPGA 24/96KHz, which fulfills broadcast standards, unlike 24/48KHz.
@@WestCoastFront A DAW to me is an adjunct to a mixer. Sure you can do it all on a daw if you want to. I wouldn't want to. Partially, because I have an SQ-5 and that thing makes things so much easier, more convenient and the sound path is designed such that every signal has identical travel time, with a latency of 0.7 milliseconds, including real time FX processing in the mixer. Computer could never keep up with that for track recording purposes.

We have a similar 32 channel model at church and have an ongoing problem with random channels not working after power-up. The fix is to adjust the UNTIL the input gain is changed up and then down 1 db. Also we cannot update the mixer. It is connected and verified to the internet but using the onboard "update" process does not work.
I remember a few years back when Presonus weren't putting moving faders on their mixers. Then Behringer brought out the X32 which had them... and, hey presto, Presonus suddenly started doing it too. Behrnger have bossed this market ever since. New Wing Console kicks this console's ass even with the free Studio One.
Thanks very much for enlightening me on this digital mixer. But please sir can you do videos for beginners on how to choose microphones, instruments and how to use the effects properly. Ill be very grateful sir. Thank's very much

Is it possible to have 2 mixers? 1 for FOH and 1 for Streaming? Can the 2 mixers control the inputs from gain to processing independently without overriding the mix of the other mixer?
Hello, Daniel! Yeah! You'd connect the 2 consoles via AVB, and one is set with all the inputs, and the other could take all those inputs and mix them for streaming, but you could just do all of that with 1 board, and send all the inputs into a DAW on your computer and mix for streaming from there.

@@sweetwater oh, ok. I'm just asking because of the 2.10 firmware update on the akai mpc. You are now able to connect a mixer via usb to the mpc so you can be able to have physical faders like a controller. I dont really want just any mixer. I wanted something like the presonus 32s.
Hey, Fables of Silence. Thanks for checking out the 32SX video on UA-cam. The 32SX makes a great addition to the studio as well as live situations. The noise on the console is very low and great for a working studio environment. The series III line of mixers does not have an internal fan, just vents on the top and bottom of the console for cooling. If there is anything else we can help with, please let me know.

@@sweetwater thanks Gary that is excellent information dearly missing from their product description. Very helpful. However, I just found out that only half of the channels are line-in. That’s probably a deal breaker for me as I basically need line-in only. Unfortunately there seem to be no mixers on the market targeted at synthesizer studios.
Can this series mixers in DAW mode be used as a control surface for other DAWs? And also can DAW mode use the touch sensitive faders to write automation with other DAWs?...If it does have that ability, a list of compatible DAWs would be great to share. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me the difference between Studiolive 16 and the 32SC? Also what is difference between the Studiolive 32, 32S, 32XS? I see on their website that they all are still current at the same time. Its so confusing to know which one to get!!!
Hi, Onedropmic. Great to hear from you! There are many differences between the mixers. I have attached a link below that has a chart showing them all: blog.presonus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/seriesiii-mixer-comparison-chart.pdf Riley Koenemann, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1226, Riley_Koenemann@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater I see that the SL 32 & 32S are exactly identical according to the chart, the 32SX lacks 3 things: less motorized touch faders, and Fat channel parameter control w/ s.strip, no bluetooth. The SL 32C is the same as the SL16 but lacks bluetooth, and Fat channel parameter control w/ s.strip, no bluetooth. So I'm not sure if the SL32C, 32SX, 32S are newer when it lacks certain features as the other one? Which ones are the newer ones? I'm not sure what are the reasons for the creation of SL32C, SL32S when the SL32 SL16 does the exactly the same thing with mirror image specs, and why even create the SL32SX when it lacks 3 features but the same form factor? So confusing. Maybe I'll just wait because it seems they come with a new console with the same thing every few months.
Hello, Peter! No. Midas/Behringer use a proprietary protocol, and PreSonus stage boxes use AVB. Generally none of these stages boxes are compatible between brands because for instance, this PreSonus board sends the preamp gain structure to the stage box digitally anyways, and would only work with the PreSonus stage boxes. Thanks for the interest! Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1732, Kevin_Spunde@Sweetwater.com
Is studiolive III 32sx designed most for live or studio? Because most of the video one UA-cam is just showing the mixer set on a studio. Is a LFP available on bus mix or matrix. I look at on the 32sx but I can't see
I have the 32 r and I'm trying to figure out how to set up stage monitors from the 32r I figured it out once but then I totally switched computers and rebuilt from scratch and then reinstall the software but now I can't figure out how to make the monitor mix go out to the floor monitors? Do you have a link that you can show me how to do it properly in the UC controller software
sorry if im being a little ignorante, having one of this is enough to record? meaning i dont need and interface cause it is actually an audio interface right? sorry im new at this XD
Hi Xavier, thanks for the question! The only way to learn is to ask, so no need to apologize! Yes, the PreSonus Studio Live mixers make fantastic audio interfaces. They give you a ton of mic preamps and a huge amount of ins and outs. Along with the onboard processing, these mixers can be a fantastic centerpiece to a studio!

I have a question. Say I connect studio monitors to this and I want to monitor my MPC output but I also have another setup where I want to monitor FL studio via the outputs on my interface, can it listen for multiple signals to one pair of monitors? So say MPC is on 1+2 and FL studio is on 3+4 can I assign them both to the output of my monitor channel? If that makes sense?
Hey there! If you’re wondering whether you can monitor two different channels through one set of monitors, then yes most definitely. The mixer will likely have every channel outputting to your main L/R channel (monitors) unless manually changed to send to different output channels on the mixer. I hope this helps!

My arrangements include horns, saxes and strings. I would like to find a solution to perform live with a four or five piece group but integrating the recorded orchestral parts in the live performance. This unit has an SD card slot but can this mixer perform this function of selecting and playing pre-recorded tracks for integration into a live performance?

@@PeterReesvan My pleasure! Unfortunately, you aren't going to be able to connect another interface up with the StudioLive.

Hey, Chris. Thank you for checking out our video today. To answer your question, AVB does not have direct support for Windows. You can get third party drivers to run it, but that does depend on your machine and its compatibility.

@@musicorey i,m talking about the hardware. No Inserts for external dinamic and EQ processors. Accept something that is a fact. I'm not concerned with software version.
Good presentation, but did a poor job talking about DAW mode. There was little talk and demonstration on how it can work in Logic or Pro Tools. I love the idea of buying one but have no intentions to switch to Studio One. Don’t want to take a risk buying it as a control surface for Logic and Pro Tools
I can’t believe they have all that space and they chose to use a single knob to control compressor. You have to tap the parameter of the compressor you want to control on the touch screen then use physical knob. I hate this type of workflow. With all that space you should have dedicated knobs for eq and compressor. This is a deal breaker for me. I am still waiting for a budget mixer with dedicated control knobs for eq and compression
You can play with all the parameters on the channel strip after tapping the channels comp button. The Eq. Is the same although the Eq runs over two layers because they decide the ipad holder was more important than having 16 encoders.
It seems weird though to have a digital console and use it simply as a control surface for controlling plug-ins and programming automation in a DAW. I prefer to use the audio engines of the console, and mix in the console with automation separate from the DAW.
i wanted to use sweet water to purchase this console but it wasn't my decision and now I cant ask my Sweetwater rep any questions about the console sadly.
iPhone guys, does anyone knows how to capture audio via Presonus StudioLive AR12 bluetooth to the iphone´s Dictaphone app ou Camera app? i know it´s possible to capture audio to the Dictaphone from the mic built in my bluetooth JBL headphones (by the way, the sound is terrible). I was wondering if the "audio in" of the Camera app and the Dictaphone app could be the Presonus StudioLive via bluetooth. That would be great!
Hi there, can you someone give me more information about playback possibilities on the studiolive32SC mix console? - Can I play regular WAV/MP3 files from SD card (which I do not record thru the console)? - Can I choose options like: repeat all, repeat one, play one (play one and stay paused before the next)

Hello? Can I ask one question? I have presonus live 32 mixer but the mixer is totally out of factio. The problem is the signal is not in and out.plse help me
Thanks Sweetwater, you're the best.
Sir please add a plugins dugan automix
Can I connect this unit with my mpc x via usb?
Hello, Firkle!
No, you cannot.
Thanks for the interest!

@@sweetwater oh, ok. I'm just asking because of the 2.10 firmware update on the akai mpc. You are now able to connect a mixer via usb to the mpc so you can be able to have physical faders like a controller. I dont really want just any mixer. I wanted something like the presonus 32s.
How is the fan noise on this? Suitable for low-noise studio environments?
Hey, Fables of Silence. Thanks for checking out the 32SX video on UA-cam. The 32SX makes a great addition to the studio as well as live situations. The noise on the console is very low and great for a working studio environment. The series III line of mixers does not have an internal fan, just vents on the top and bottom of the console for cooling. If there is anything else we can help with, please let me know.
Thanks,

@@sweetwater thanks Gary that is excellent information dearly missing from their product description. Very helpful. However, I just found out that only half of the channels are line-in. That’s probably a deal breaker for me as I basically need line-in only. Unfortunately there seem to be no mixers on the market targeted at synthesizer studios.
Can this series mixers in DAW mode be used as a control surface for other DAWs? And also can DAW mode use the touch sensitive faders to write automation with other DAWs?...If it does have that ability, a list of compatible DAWs would be great to share. Thanks.
Hello! It does work in all the major DAWs since it's HUI and Mackie protocol, but it works best with Studio One (and it comes with Studio One Artist).
Thanks for the interest!
Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1732, Kevin_Spunde@Sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater Can it also make EQ adjustments, add compression, etc within the DAW from the control surface? Thanks again.
Phil
@@uptownphotography Yes, you would be able to do that. Thanks again for the interest!

Does this work with Reaper?
I’d definitely but tomorrow if they used Dante! But I get that they’re all in on AVB. 🤷🏾♂️
Is there support for Ableton Live? This literally TBags the crap out of the Behringer X32....(I might play too much Halo)
Can anyone tell me the difference between Studiolive 16 and the 32SC? Also what is difference between the Studiolive 32, 32S, 32XS? I see on their website that they all are still current at the same time. Its so confusing to know which one to get!!!
Hi, Onedropmic. Great to hear from you! There are many differences between the mixers. I have attached a link below that has a chart showing them all:

Riley Koenemann, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1226, Riley_Koenemann@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater I see that the SL 32 & 32S are exactly identical according to the chart, the 32SX lacks 3 things: less motorized touch faders, and Fat channel parameter control w/ s.strip, no bluetooth. The SL 32C is the same as the SL16 but lacks bluetooth, and Fat channel parameter control w/ s.strip, no bluetooth. So I'm not sure if the SL32C, 32SX, 32S are newer when it lacks certain features as the other one? Which ones are the newer ones? I'm not sure what are the reasons for the creation of SL32C, SL32S when the SL32 SL16 does the exactly the same thing with mirror image specs, and why even create the SL32SX when it lacks 3 features but the same form factor? So confusing. Maybe I'll just wait because it seems they come with a new console with the same thing every few months.
Is this compatible with Logic Pro x Chanel to channel so I can record from my computer in to the desk?????
Paul Ivin yes.
How can I deposit for these mix
Is it possible to use other stageboxes like Midas DL on the ethernet port?
Hello, Peter! No. Midas/Behringer use a proprietary protocol, and PreSonus stage boxes use AVB. Generally none of these stages boxes are compatible between brands because for instance, this PreSonus board sends the preamp gain structure to the stage box digitally anyways, and would only work with the PreSonus stage boxes.
Thanks for the interest!
Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1732, Kevin_Spunde@Sweetwater.com
Does the DAW mode work with Reaper?
Is studiolive III 32sx designed most for live or studio?
Because most of the video one UA-cam is just showing the mixer set on a studio.
Is a LFP available on bus mix or matrix. I look at on the 32sx but I can't see
How apply delay on each fader??
Hello Nick, I have a Tascam DM 4800, I buy this one for a change. You've really convinced me..😎🥂
I have the 32 r and I'm trying to figure out how to set up stage monitors from the 32r I figured it out once but then I totally switched computers and rebuilt from scratch and then reinstall the software but now I can't figure out how to make the monitor mix go out to the floor monitors? Do you have a link that you can show me how to do it properly in the UC controller software
sorry if im being a little ignorante, having one of this is enough to record? meaning i dont need and interface cause it is actually an audio interface right? sorry im new at this XD
Hi Xavier, thanks for the question! The only way to learn is to ask, so no need to apologize! Yes, the PreSonus Studio Live mixers make fantastic audio interfaces. They give you a ton of mic preamps and a huge amount of ins and outs. Along with the onboard processing, these mixers can be a fantastic centerpiece to a studio!
If you want to dig in further about interfaces, feel free to give me a ring!

Thanks, some things are new for me.
is the usb 2.0 or 3.0?
Hey, Richard! This is USB 2.0.
Thanks!
Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
I have a question. Say I connect studio monitors to this and I want to monitor my MPC output but I also have another setup where I want to monitor FL studio via the outputs on my interface, can it listen for multiple signals to one pair of monitors? So say MPC is on 1+2 and FL studio is on 3+4 can I assign them both to the output of my monitor channel? If that makes sense?
Hey there! If you’re wondering whether you can monitor two different channels through one set of monitors, then yes most definitely. The mixer will likely have every channel outputting to your main L/R channel (monitors) unless manually changed to send to different output channels on the mixer.
I hope this helps!
Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater Thanks, one more question. I'm trying to connect this mixer to a Mac and a MPC X at the same time via USB hub. Can you recommend a USB hub that will act like a bridge between the devices. I'm trying to have the mixer act as an audio interface for both Mac and MPC X at the same time. It works individually but not on the same USB hub. Can you advise?
can I use a rm32A1 with AVB card for a stage box?
Hey, Shane. Thank you for reaching out. The RM31AI AVB system is not compatible with the current series 3 ecosystem. They are not able to talk.
If there is anything else I can help with, please let me know.
Thanks,

I wish you had extension boards
My arrangements include horns, saxes and strings. I would like to find a solution to perform live with a four or five piece group but integrating the recorded orchestral parts in the live performance. This unit has an SD card slot but can this mixer perform this function of selecting and playing pre-recorded tracks for integration into a live performance?
Does this work with Fl Studio ?
Hello! Yes, and sorta no... It's Mackie HUI protocol, so it can control FL Studio, but it probably won't run as smoothly as Studio One, or other more popular DAWs.
Thanks for the interest!

Can the 8 faders on the right beused for daw control?
Hey, Peter! You got it. All 24 of those faders can be used for DAW control. The 8 faders placed on the right side are more of a design feature - those faders have all of the same functionality as the 16 on the left.
Feel free to reach out with any other questions!
Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater Great, thanks! One more question if I may: I would like to connect a box like the MOTU 8pre via the AVB network port. Would this work and would all the inputs on the motu 8pre (including its 2 ADAT ports) be available then on the Studiolive console?
@@PeterReesvan My pleasure! Unfortunately, you aren't going to be able to connect another interface up with the StudioLive. The AVB port is made to be connected with a Presonus Stagebox specifically (the NSB8.8 or NSB16.8). That port won't accept 3rd part interfaces/inputs.
Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater Thanks for the replies? That's a pity about the AVB port. I don't see any way to connect ADAT boxes into a presonus mixer.
This or the X32, please help.
I had same idea. Saw some information that the X32 only allowed 8 channels in DAW mode ( HUI / MCU ). This allows all 32.
Where is the jog wheel? Its crazy that this is missing. Am i missing something?
Flmly - TV made by kids its touch screen
Hey ! I have a question, please tell me I would like to know, I bought this amazing Presonus studio live 32sx remote control, which pleases me with its functions. I want to know, the question of the sd card. Example: musicians are playing and the recording goes only to the sd card not connected to the computer, played music and I want to rewrite the part of any instrument, or add an instrument on top. Is it possible? thank you, I hope my question is clear! please give an answer!
Please make a video using it with cubase. Since Yamaha cannot seem to make one for the average consumer 😀
I've been waiting for cubase integration.
@@GotBettaBeats CUBASE NOT SUPPORTED AS DAW
So disappointing 😔 but I may look into switching just wish I could use it with cubase as well
the thing about 48k vs 96k. when does this become an issue outside of broadcasting?
Hi Rick! Question, can outboard gear be connected to studiolive 32s, without using a DAW. If so please explain. Thanks.
Hello, Frank! Yep, you can run whatever before the signal goes into one of the inputs. There's not really a good way to setup an effects send/return, though.
Thanks for the interest!

Can you record to a Windows PC using the AVB network?
Hey, Chris. Thank you for checking out our video today. To answer your question, AVB does not have direct support for Windows. You can get third party drivers to run it, but that does depend on your machine and its compatibility. You also get a 64x64 interface over USB with this mixer as well, so if it is not compatible with your machine you can still use that to record. For more information, or if you want to talk any more about the subject, just reach out to us here at Sweetwater.

Hi! I love your tutorials. Question: Is it possible to route input line 1 on my mixer to record on input 5, with changing the cable? I have Studiolive 32s III
Hello, Frank! Yes, you can reroute any input to any channel on that mixer.
Thanks for the interest!

I prefer my StudioLive 32.4.2 AI. Inserts per channel and Aux returns.
Can your board work with Studio one 4.5?
@@musicorey i,m talking about the hardware. No Inserts for external dinamic and EQ processors. Accept something that is a fact. I'm not concerned with software version.
I wish presonus would make their products preprogrammed to work with cubase
Good presentation, but did a poor job talking about DAW mode. There was little talk and demonstration on how it can work in Logic or Pro Tools. I love the idea of buying one but have no intentions to switch to Studio One. Don’t want to take a risk buying it as a control surface for Logic and Pro Tools
I can’t believe they have all that space and they chose to use a single knob to control compressor. You have to tap the parameter of the compressor you want to control on the touch screen then use physical knob. I hate this type of workflow. With all that space you should have dedicated knobs for eq and compressor. This is a deal breaker for me. I am still waiting for a budget mixer with dedicated control knobs for eq and compression
You can play with all the parameters on the channel strip after tapping the channels comp button. The Eq. Is the same although the Eq runs over two layers because they decide the ipad holder was more important than having 16 encoders.
would be a deal breaker, but there's a gate / comp/eq/aus etc button, and 8 knobs to control the parameters.
great mixer
It seems weird though to have a digital console and use it simply as a control surface for controlling plug-ins and programming automation in a DAW. I prefer to use the audio engines of the console, and mix in the console with automation separate from the DAW.
For sure. That's the beauty of the 32SX - it's both a 32 input recording interface in addition to a control surface for your DAW.
@@TheRickdoggie do you know about x32ram.com? The X32 is too, but now we have full standalone automation for it.
Thanks for this informative video.
i wanted to use sweet water to purchase this console but it wasn't my decision and now I cant ask my Sweetwater rep any questions about the console sadly.
Why would 16 channels be able to handle only mic and not mic / line?
Precio?
iPhone guys, does anyone knows how to capture audio via Presonus StudioLive AR12 bluetooth to the iphone´s Dictaphone app ou Camera app? i know it´s possible to capture audio to the Dictaphone from the mic built in my bluetooth JBL headphones (by the way, the sound is terrible).
I was wondering if the "audio in" of the Camera app and the Dictaphone app could be the Presonus StudioLive via bluetooth. That would be great!
Great great product. Bravo Presonus!
Hello! Thanks! God bless you!
So, who's flying this bad boy?
Dope video Rick.
What exactly does this comment mean? Dope video Rick.
So i guess it only records at a max 48k or else they would have mentioned what it actually records at
Great machine
Anyone use this with Reason Propellerhead?
Hi there, can you someone give me more information about playback possibilities on the studiolive32SC mix console?
- Can I play regular WAV/MP3 files from SD card (which I do not record thru the console)?
- Can I choose options like: repeat all, repeat one, play one (play one and stay paused before the next)
Hello, Ludek! From what I can decipher in the manual, the SD card is really meant for recording multitracks in a capture session through the mixer, and playing those back.
Thanks for the interest!

Guys, great review and alll...but.... You're selling A/V gear. How about good audio and better camera work? Way too much gain and unfocused presentor on his head shots.
Super 👌
Amazing !!!
IF IT ONLY HAD THE ABILITY TO COLOR CODE THE SCRIBBLE STRIPS 😺
deal breaker?
Why is it so expensive? You are better off saving over a grand and getting an x32 or get an SQ5
Ben Aspey how much is it?
SQ5 only has 16 preamps. You would need to get the SQ6 to be comparable and that costs $1100 more than the 32SX.
Max Ter People overlook the main features before saying things 😂😂
Mind blown
Sweetest
WHY they trying to force every one to be in a computer ????????????????the pro studios have analog mixer outside the daw to mix . would you come oout with mixer with inserts and buss and aux sends this is useless
