Record from Spark into Computer
-
OK- So here is my question-
I want to record some stuff into my computer-
Can I use the Spark amp as a Interface and if so what software would i need on my computer?
Thanks

When you register your Spark it should give you a code to download Presonus software. You can record using the USB output from the Amp to your computer. There are a number of threads in the forum addressing recording and recording issues.

Thanks so much- Found the email and key- Studio One 4 - that is it right?

@libirm It's Studio One 5 these days -- you will get a register code for that when you register your Spark serial number with your Spark account at PG.

OK- so No matter I tried I could not get a signal to the soft ware
All I have is this- Spark with supplied USB cable plugged in my computer-
Is there something else I need like a DAW?
Thanks PB -
yes you need a daw,if on windows you need to install the asio driver and select it in your daw
-
Once you install the ASIO driver from the positive grid website your Spark will show up in any DAW. I've tried it successfully with Audacity and Reaper.
-
@valascia And once you've got the Spark to show up in the devices list, you will need to set the recording project's resolution to 48k instead of the wav-file format of 44.1 which many DAWs default to. For some reason the Spark ASIO driver only allows 48k. But I have heard of some people using ASIO4ALL (which is a free download) which can be configured to send 44.1k to the DAW. I don't have personal experience doing that, just repeating what I have read what others have posted.

isnt the code for studio one 5 prime worthless because its the exact same has the free version?
-
@mossi123uk Back when the code was for Studio One 4, it directed you to the free version "Studio One 4 Prime." Which could be downloaded free by anybody. When PreSonus upgraded to version 5, they didn't create a free version yet, so we all got the Artist version. you get an activation code when you register your Spark with PG.

@dhbailey my code just gave me studio one 5 prime not the artist version
-
@mossi123uk I guess PreSonus got the Prime version of Studio One 5. In that case then you can simply download that without messing with the code.
