StudioLive™ Series III
Studio One HUI DAW Addendum
1Introduction
Your StudioLive Series III console mixer can be used as a hardware controller
for Avid® Pro Tools® using HUI Control Emulation. Once enabled, your
StudioLive Series III console will emulate many HUI Control functions.
We suggest that you use this addendum to familiarize yourself with the
features, applications, and correct connection procedures for your StudioLive
mixer before trying to connect it to your computer to control Pro Tools.
This will help you avoid problems during installation and setup.
This guide will provide instructions on enabling HUI Control Emulation
mode for DAW Control as well as how the HUI Control functions
are mapped to your StudioLive Series III console mixer.
Note: HUI and MCU control emulation modes require Universal Control 2.10 or later
installed on your computer and firmware version 1.10 or later installed on your StudioLive
Series III mixer.
2Getting Started
To begin using your StudioLive Series III mixer as a HUI Control
Emulation device, connect it to an available Ethernet port on the same
router to which your computer is connected (wired or wirelessly)
or directly to an Ethernet connection on your computer.
Please Note: At the time of publication, remote control over USB is not supported. You
must network your mixer and your computer to use DAW mode, in addition to connecting
USB for audio transport so that your StudioLive can be used as an audio interface.
Important: If you are hardwiring your computer to the same router
as your mixer, you must disable the wireless connection on your
computer. UCNET does not support dual network connections.
Note: Ethernet-to-Thunderbolt and Ethernet-to-USBC adapters are also supported.
Ethernet-to-USB adapters will not allow your computer to network to a StudioLive mixer.

8. If you would like the Transport Controls on your StudioLive to control your DAW,
select “Software Control.”If you would like the Transport Controls on your
StudioLive to control the SD recorder on your mixer, select“SD Card.”
9. Press the UCNET button again to exit the setup screen.
10. Tap the DAW button your mixer to engage DAW control mode.
Power User Tip: DAW mode can be toggled on and off at will, allowing you to
control your mixer’s DSP engine and switch back to controlling your DAW with the
touch of a button.
IMPORTANT: Your StudioLive mixer sends HUI Control Emulation
information using MIDI-Over-Ethernet. Universal Control must be
open and your mixer’s network MIDI ports must be enabled for
your StudioLive to show up as a control device in Pro Tools.
2.1.2 Making the Connections
Once you have networked your mixer and your computer, the next
step is to launch your DAW and configure your mixer as follows:
•StudioLive 64S, 32S, or 32: (4) HUI Controllers
•StudioLive 32SX or 24: (3) HUI Controllers
•StudioLive 32SC or 16: (2) HUI Controllers
Because HUI Control is an 8-fader protocol, your StudioLive mixer will
present multiple MIDI ports, allowing you access to every fader.

2.1.3 Setting up your Mixer in Pro Tools
The HUI Control Emulation mode has been optimized for use with Avid Pro
Tools software. While also compatible with any DAW that supports the HUI
Control protocol, performance may vary. Because of this, PreSonus does
not recommend HUI Control Emulation for use with any other software.
Before you launch Pro Tools, please make sure that the following
steps have been completed to ensure proper connectivity:
•Network your StudioLive to your computer.
•Launch Universal Control and make sure your
mixer’s Network MIDI ports are enabled.
•Engaged HUI Control Emulation on your mixer.
•Leave Universal Control running in the background.
DO NOT CLOSE THIS APPLICATION.
Open Pro Tools and follow the following steps to set
up your StudioLive as a control surface:
1. Go to Setups | Peripherals.
2. Create one HUI device under MIDI Controllers.
3. Set the Receive From and Send To menus to“UCNET
MIDI StudioLive Main.”Set #Ch’s to 8.
4. Create a second HUI device and set the Receive From and
Send To menus to “UCNET MIDI StudioLive EXT 1.”
StudioLive 32SC and 16 Users: Your StudioLive is now ready to use!
StudioLive 32SX and 24 Users: Repeat Step 4 and create a third HUI device,
setting the Receive From and Send To menus to “UCNET MIDI StudioLive EXT 2.”
StudioLive 64S, 32S, and 32 Users: Repeat Step 4 twice, creating a third and
fourth HUI device, setting the Receive From and Send To menus to “UCNET
MIDI StudioLive EXT 2”and “UCNET MIDI StudioLive EXT 3”respectively.
