Mute Groups

From here you can select a preset location to store or recall the preset. Use
the encoder under the touchscreen to scroll through the preset list.
StudioLive RM-series mixers feature eight mute groups. A mute group allows
you to mute and unmute multiple channels and buses with the press of a single
button. With ei mute groups, you could, for example, assign the drum mics to Mute
Group 1, the instrumentalists to Mute Group 2, the background vocalists to Mute
Group 3, all the aux buses to Mute Group 4, all four effects buses to Mute Group
5, and every channel on the mixer to Mute Group 6. Then, during the acoustic
jam, you can mute all of the drum mics with one button. When the lead singer is
introducing the band and saying "Hello, New Orleans!" you can mute all effects
assigned to his vocal. When the band goes on break, you can mute all channels
at once. And when it's time to break down the stage and start unplugging things,
you can just lower the main fader and mute all stage monitors with one button.
All On is a preconfigured mute group that includes every channel
and bus with a Mute button. Pressing this button activates every
mute on the RM mixer. Press it again to unmute them.
All Off clears all mutes. When the All Off button is pressed, any
channel or bus that has been muted will be unmuted.
Mute Group 1-8 buttons engage/disengage assigned Mute Groups. When any of
the Mute Group buttons is pressed, the assigned group of channels or buses will be
muted/unmuted. To create a mute group, press and hold any Mute Group button.
Power User Tip: Both the mute groups and the All On group only add mutes to
your mix and remove the same mutes they added. Mute groups will not clear
mutes that were active prior to the mute group being engaged; if a mute is
engaged when its mute group or the All On group is enabled, that mute will still
be engaged when you disable the mute group or the All On group. The exception
to this rule is the All Off button, which will clear any mute that is currently enabled
and will deactivate any mute group that is active, including the All On group.
