It's just frustrating not being able to get the computer and console to talk to each other.

When I open capture it usually has an option to select your device and the only options it's giving me is windows audio and the presonus sl 24 which obviously isn't connected.ĭoes anyone know have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Is there some other software I can get easily that will work better? Maybe there's some other drivers I'm missing. I can get previous sessions to play back through the USB but I can't get it to record anything, and when I play back it just brings all of the channels back into the console through channels 1 and 2. The presonus capture software is seeing the console but it's seeing it as a stereo mic/speakers for some reason. I can't get it to record anything but the main outs through audacity. This console is being used for an event this week which is why one of my coworkers brought in this XR18 for me to use. I've been recording pre EQ and then mixing and editing later by bringing it back through the console via firewire. I downloaded presonus capture and had no issues with it seeing the console and recording multitrack. With this I simply downloaded some drivers from presonus. I had previously been using a presonus SL 24 to do my multitrack recordings. The problem is I can't get my computer to see it as anything but a pair of speakers. It's advertised as being able to be used as an interface via USB. I just started using it yesterday, it's really simple to use and I haven't had any issues. So I'm trying to do multitrack recording with this console.
