4.1 Channel Strip Basics
StudioLive Series III mixers offer many powerful and flexible mixing tools that allow
you to quickly set up and monitor multiple mixes at once and have been designed to
make managing multiple layers of input channels, mix masters, and fader mixes, as
well as navigating even the most complicated systems simple.
If you've used a mixer before, the StudioLive channel strip layout may look familiar.
Each channel strip on your StudioLive (apart from the Master) features the following
controls and visual aids:
Scribble Strip Display
This graphical display shows you useful information about the input channel or mix
master that the channel is currently addressing. The following details are displayed:
• Name. Shows the name for the currently displayed channel.
• Number. Shows the number and type of the currently displayed channel.
Standard inputs are numbered normally. Aux input channels begin with "A, " Tape
inputs with "Tape, " FX returns with "FX, " Aux Bus Masters with "Ax, " Subgroup
Masters with "Sb, " and Matrix Masters with "Mx. "
• Pan Position. Shows the current pan position for the currently displayed channel.
Select Button
Press this button to select the current channel or bus. Generally, this function is used
to bring the Fat Channel into focus for the selected input, mix, or bus.
Solo Button
This button will solo its channel to the main outputs or to the monitor outputs,
depending on whether AFL/PFL (Pre-Fader Listening) or SIP (Solo In Place) is selected
in the Solo Edit Menu. Please review Section 9.1 for details.
Mute Button
Press this button to silence the current channel, mix, or bus.
