Using Virtual StudioLive (VSL) Software

The VSL software provides a virtual mixer interface that allows you to apply real-time effects and processing to your inputs with near-zero latency. This includes Fat Channel processing (compression, limiting, semi-parametric EQ, high-pass filter, noise gate) and customizable reverb and delay effects. These effects are applied to the monitoring path, allowing musicians to hear themselves with effects during tracking without affecting the recorded signal (unless specifically routed to do so).

The VSL software allows you to adjust parameters such as compression, limiting, EQ, and apply various reverb and delay effects. This enhances the monitoring experience, helping musicians perform better by hearing a more polished sound in their headphones.

Recording with Studio One Artist

The AudioBox 22VSL comes bundled with PreSonus Studio One Artist, a powerful and intuitive digital audio workstation. After installing Studio One Artist, launch the software and ensure the AudioBox 22VSL is selected as your audio device in the preferences. You can then create new songs, add audio tracks, and begin recording. The VSL effects can be recorded directly onto your tracks or used solely for monitoring, providing flexibility in your workflow.
