• DSP Mixer/Router - The FireStudio Lightpipe also includes the FireControl Mixer - a 34x4 DSP mixer for creating up to two zero latency stereo mixes for monitoring during recording and playback.
• JetPLL Syncronization - Tight synchronization between the FireWire chipset and the computer are essential for clarity and stabilization. The FireStudio Lightpipe uses patented JetPLL™ jitter reduction technology to virtually remove all audio band jitter resulting in better stereo separation and clearer more transparent audio. JetPLL™ delivers ultra-fast locking to any digital format through a wide range of frequencies and is extremely robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. JetPLL™ ensures near perfect clock performance when networking audio devices, thus creating the most stable and robust synchronization to the computer.

Artist Series Software

Studio One Artist is based on a cutting-edge 32-bit floating-point mix engine that is identical to that of Studio One in single-precision mode, delivering better audio quality than most high-end professional music-production applications. Studio One Artist has the same easy-to-use single-window interface and browser as Studio One—the friendliest user interface on the planet. This straightforward work environment allows you to track, edit, and mix in one easy-to-navigate window. However, you can separate the Console and Arrange views and can even drag them to separate displays. You also can switch to a larger Console view—yet another way Studio One Artist helps you work quickly while giving you maximum flexibility.
