Quick Start Guide


OpenLIVE is an automated high-quality recording system available in the DJ Studio, Deluxe Studio, and Classic Studio. This guide will help you capture your session with minimal setup.


BEFORE YOUR SESSION


1. Create an OpenLIVE Account


2. Prepare Your Equipment


  • The OpenLIVE recording device is already powered on (small box with LED indicator screen below the mixer and CDJs on the shelf)


STARTING YOUR RECORDING

  • Log in using your OpenLIVE account credentials


2. Create a New Recording Session

  • Tap "Book a Recording"
  • Search and Select Grove Studios - Venue
  • Choose "DJ Studio"
  • Enter a title for your session (e.g., "March 2 Mix")
  • Fill in all of the other information: 
    • When is the performance?
    • What time will it start?
    • What time will it finish?
    • ONLY select the time according to your studio session, do NOT book any time past your session, as it will interfere with another client's session.
    • Submit Booking Request


3. Audio Check

  • Before starting your full set, play some audio through the mixer
  • Aim for peaks around -6dB to -12dB (avoid red indicators)
  • Adjust the master output on the DJM-900NXS2 if needed


4. Begin Recording

  • When you're ready to start your set, start! 
  • The system will capture automatically the main output from the mixer
  • Your session will automatically start and stop according to the time you booked in the previous steps


ENDING YOUR RECORDING


1. Stop Recording

  • When your session is complete, OpenLIVE will automatically stop according to the time you books
  • The system will process and finalize your recording and upload it to the OpenLIVE cloud platform


ACCESSING YOUR RECORDINGS AFTER YOUR SESSION


1. Find Your Recordings

   • Log in to your OpenLIVE account at www.openlive.co

   • Navigate to "Recordings"

   • Your session should appear in your account within one (1) hour


2. Download Options

  • Download the full Original 4-channel STEM file for highest quality
  • OR Download Full Recording MP3 versions for sharing
