Live Standard Matrix Profile
Setup and Quick Start Guide

Introduction
The first part of this tutorial details how to setup Live with your SSL Matrix. The second part details the commands
assigned to this profile.
This tutorial assumes that you have already installed all the necessary Matrix related software on your computer
and that there is both a working network and USB connection from your DAW computer to the Matrix. If you have
yet to configure this part of your system please refer to the Ma trix 2 Owner’s Ma nu a l before continuing.

Installing the profile

The Live Standard profile is automatically installed when you update your Matrix console software to V2.0 / 6. In
addition, it is recommended that you have the latest version of the Matrix remote application installed. Go to the
SSL website > Matrix Product page > Download s to make sure you are up-to-date.
