4 UC Surface Monitor Control Software

UC Surface is a powerful monitor control software that provides everything

you need to create high-quality monitor mixes and more with your Studio 192,

using all of the processing features of a StudioLive AI-series digital mixer.

These monitoring functions are completely integrated inside Studio One.

UC Surface allows users of other popular DAW applications to access these

functions. UC Surface provides control of channel, eﬀects return, and

Mix output levels; Fat Channel parameters, and eﬀects send levels.

It is vital to remember that lowering the channel fader in UC Surface will not lower

the signal in your host application, so it is possible to clip the recording without

clipping the monitor mix. You must set the level for the recording using the trim

controls in UC Surface or the preamp control section on the face of the Studio 192.

A quick note on playback streams: The channels labeled “DAW” in

UC Surface carry a playback stream from your host application (DAW).

Traditionally, if you wanted to route a track in your DAW to a physical

output on your interface, you assigned this output in your host application.

Because UC Surface provides much more ﬂexible routing, you can now route

this track to one output or every output, by itself or as part of a mix.

UC Surface is designed to verify that your Studio 192 has the correct ﬁrmware

version installed. You will be prompted if your Studio 192 needs its ﬁrmware

updated. Click on the Update Firmware button to begin the update.

WARNING: Do not power oﬀ or disconnect your Studio 192 during the

ﬁrmware update. Once the ﬁrmware update is successfully completed, you

will be alerted and instructed to reboot your device. Please make sure to close all

applications before running the ﬁrmware updater.
