@hnoormoh The PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 is compatible with most audio software via ASIO, Windows Audio, Core Audio - so no problem using it with ProTools 10.
@dariankyara The most convenient solution may be to purchase a PCIe firewire card and install it into PC tower (if you have one). The FireWire-800 PCI Express x1 Host Adapter from SIIG is a PCI Express x1 expansion card that adds FireWire-800 and FireWire-400 capability to your computer. B&H # SINNE38012S3
Thanks for the update. I am pretty much for the Mackie MCU pro that works seamlessly with Prto Tools 10 as a Control surface and I will be using the MBOX 8x8 for the interface.
Thanks for your quick response to my question. My main issue is that can this board handle the fader automation with Pro Tools like the 002? If it does then I will get this board. Thx
im wondering if i have to connect both fire wires to be able to digitally send to my computer? i now have one but i cant record back with the fat channel i know about the digout button but then if its on, i cant hear the added effects anymore....;. so maybe i need a send and a receive fire wire cable?
Engage the 48V button for the respective mic channel to supply phantom power to it. This interface will work with AVID ProTools and Native Instruments KOMPLETE 8. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. MarkS

I want to insert firewire signal in presonus 16.0.2 and it automatically enters me on Channel 1 and 2. I want to change them and I don't know how. Can anyone help me, please?
The “Firewire Return” button allows any outgoing tracks of a computer to show up as an input on a channel to be sent to the PA. This is useful for those who use pre-recorded tracks as part of their live set, or to listen back to your mix that you just recorded in your DAW, as well as for overdubbing so you can hear the recorded tracks. Your P.A. and studio equipment should be powered on in the following order: 1. Sound sources (keyboards, direct boxes, microphones, etc.) connected to the StudioLive inputs 2. StudioLive mixer 3. Computer (if applicable) 4. Power amplifiers or powered monitors When it’s time to power down, your system should be turned off in the reverse order. FireWire Monitor Button: Assigns FireWire Returns 1 and 2 to the Monitor Bus. The FireWire Monitor button patches FireWire returns 1 and 2 to the monitor bus. The level for this input is controlled by the level set in the computer application (such as Studio One Artist) that is playing the audio. For more information about the main FireWire returns, please review Section 2.5.4 in the StudioLive Software Library Reference Manual. Each channel and aux on the StudioLive 16.0.2 features a MultiMode button. These buttons allow you to solo or mute a channel or aux, as well as engage the channel FireWire returns. The function of these buttons is determined by the control buttons directly to the left of the row of the MultiMode buttons. FireWire Return Mode Switch. Turns FireWire Playback Streaming On/Off. When FireWire Return mode is engaged, the MultiMode buttons on each channel function as the FireWire Input buttons for each channel. This will route the hardcoded playback stream from your audio software to the StudioLive’s channel inputs. Once a FireWire return is engaged, it can be routed and processed the same way as analog input signals. For example, if you want a particular recorded track to play back on mixer channel 3, simply route that track in your audio software to StudioLive Output 3. This button can also be used to insert a plug-in effect into the mix. For more information on this feature, please review Section 2.6 in the StudioLive Software Library Reference Manual. While in FireWire Return mode, each MultiMode button that is enabled will illuminate orange to alert you that the FireWire return is engaged for that channel. Power User Tip: When a FireWire return is engaged, the analog input is bypassed to the mix bus. Because of this, do not engage a FireWire return when your StudioLive is not connected and synced to a computer, as it will mute the analog input globally.

@iAm1DLoVEVO Only one firewire port needs to be connected as FW is capable of bi-directional data flow.

Great players is always a good start.
This thing and its USB successor could be such a nice console if they had motorized faders.
a question, can this be like a controller for Pro-tools? lets say i have a track on pro-tools and i wanna change the EQ of it can i do it through the console even if the track is already recorded?
lets say i wanna use a Rack reverb on my songs, how do i use it with this mixer and how can i decide in with tracks to use it?
Can it be use just as a recording interface with pro tools and komplete?
Does the phantom power button give phantom power to each microphone preamp at the same time?
Thanks
When you select the track it gives you the option to add phantom power to each track. I’m not too sure but it seems like that what he said
@hnoormoh I do not believe the StudioLive can function as a controller for faders in Pro Tools 10. I have contacted PreSonus and am waiting for confirmation. Please send me an e-mail referencing our discussion: audio@bandh.com. I will follow up with you as soon as I receive word from PreSonus.

Why 2 IEEE1394 ports? my laptop has only one of those IEEE1394 ports
I have a laltop with only 3.0 usb, what could i use?
So its like a the fast track ultra but bigger
Very informative. Thank you.
it is near perfect for me, the only three things it lack is stereo aux out for me to stream stereo to my smartphone, motorize fader and daw control for me to control................ my daw, obviosly🤣🤣🤣
This is a basic digital mixer. The Series III can do DAW mode but even then it is limited to moving faders and not much else unless you are using S1.
Thanks :)
There are only a iPad app to control it.

Can I record individual track to my iPad ?
