analog signal from Channel 4 on your StudioLive with your inserted

Power User Tip: When using plug-ins as inserts, it is very important that you set
as low a buffer size on your computer as possible without creating performance
issues. For most new computers, this won’t be an issue. A buffer size of 128 or less
will provide low enough latency for most plug-in types; however, dynamics and
EQ plug-ins and performance plug-ins such as amp-modelers may require lower
latency settings. See Section 4.1 for more information on buffer size settings.
Please note: setting the buffer size too low on older or slower computers, or on a
computer that has not been properly optimized, may result in poor
performance. Always be sure to test the limits of your system before attempting
CPU-intensive tasks in mission-critical situations.
