6.3 The Session Page
Capture 2 features a single-window user interface so you don’t need to
manage multiple windows and views. When a new Session is created, or an
existing Session is opened, you will be taken to the Session page. This page
contains all of the necessary tools to record and edit multitrack audio.
When you launch Capture 2, a recording track is created for each input
channel on your StudioLive ARc mixer, including the Main bus. The Main
bus track, in turn, is automatically patched to the first two digital returns
located on the Super Channel on your StudioLive ARc mixer for playback.
Channels 1 and 2 are routed to the Digital Returns 3/4 on the last stereo
channel. The following diagrams show these configurations.

There is no need to set up audio inputs and outputs in Capture 2, as the
software automatically detects which StudioLive model is connected
and auto-configures for it. Each channel from the StudioLive ARc mixer
is represented with a mono input track in the Track column of the
Session and has a corresponding level meter in the meter bridge.
An additional stereo track will also be added to the
Session for recording the main mix.
Power User Tip: Unlike a DAW application, like Studio One Artist, Capture has
no mix engine of its own, relying, instead, on the physical mixer connected to
it to do the mixing and the summing. Because of this, once you’re ready to mix
your recordings, you will need to move you audio over to your favorite DAW
application. If your favorite DAW is Studio One, you can simply open your Capture
session from the Studio One Start page. See Section 6.6.2 for details.
