PreSonus UC Surface Software Reference Manual

About UC Surface

UC Surface offers a unified interface to manage channel levels, Fat Channel parameters, auxiliary mixes, effects, and graphic EQs. It provides a clear visual overview of your StudioLive settings, enabling efficient adjustment and organization. The software also includes a librarian for easy management of presets and scenes.

For StudioLive Series III and AI-series console mixers, UC Surface facilitates bidirectional control, allowing remote operation of mixing functions mirroring the hardware control surfaces. Changes made on either the mixing surface or UC Surface are reflected in both.

For StudioLive Series III rackmount mixers and StudioLive AI-series RM and RML mixers, UC Surface provides software-only control.
