7.2 Start Page
You will be taken to the Start page when Capture is launched. The Start page allows
you to create a new Session, open a Session stored on your computer, view recent
Sessions, and verify that your StudioLive is properly communicating with its driver. In
addition, you can begin recording instantly by just clicking the Record Now button.
7.2.1 Tagging and Organizing a Session
At the top of the Start page, you will find the three Name
Scheme fields: Artist, Performance, and Location. By
entering information into each of these fields, your Session
will be automatically named with this information, in this
order, and tagged with the same helpful metadata.
These tags also help to keep your files organized. Rather
than throwing every Session into a single folder, all tagged
Sessions will automatically be put into an organized
folder hierarchy. By default, Capture 2 inserts the date of
performance and creates subfolders. These options can be
changed in the Options menu, see Section 7.2.5 for details.
By default, the folder tree is Artist/Performance/Location.
This structure is useful for regularly gigging bands that want
to archive performances (e.g., Artist: PreSonus All Stars,
Performance: Winter Tour 2013, Location: Baton Rouge –
Manship Theatre). However, Capture 2 doesn’t limit you to this
folder structure. You can change the folder hierarchy from the
Options menu. Here are other available Name Schemes:
• Location/Artist/Performance. This Name Scheme is especially useful
for venue owners who are archiving the performances on their stage
(e.g., Location: Manship Theatre/PreSonus All Stars/Winter Tour 2013.
• Location/Performance/Artist. Use this Name Scheme when recording
an entire festival (e.g., PreSonuSphere/Stage 1/PreSonus All Stars).
As you archive your performances, Capture stores a history of the names you have
entered into each field. To use a name again, simply click on the pull-down menu for
that field and select it from the list.
To clear the currently selected name from the list, select Remove First from the
pull-down menu.
To remove every name in the list, select Clear History. Once the history has been
cleared, it cannot be undone, so be certain before you choose this option.
