A Quick Note About Printing Fat Channel Dynamics and EQ
68 68
Press the FireWire Return Input button on Channel 16 of your StudioLive. You can
now monitor your analog signal with your inserted effect as you record from any of
the output buses on the StudioLive.
You probably will want to use the Fat Channel dynamics processing and EQ during
post-production. The question is how to print these changes to your recording.
An easy way to do this is through the subgroup FireWire returns. Begin by routing
a playback stream to an individual channel on the StudioLive from within your
recording application. With the FireWire return selected as the signal source
for that channel, press the channel's Select button and assign the channel to a
subgroup bus, ensuring that only that channel is routed to the subgroup. You can
then process the playback stream through the Fat Channel for both the individual
channel and for the subgroup. In your recording software, assign the subgroup
as an input source for a new track and record it. The unprocessed track can then
either be removed from the session or used in tandem with the processed track as
an effect. The flexible routing and mixing capability of the StudioLive provides you
with an arsenal of tools previously unavailable to "in the box" mixes. Don't be afraid
to test the limits of modern mixing techniques and to create a few of your own!
Note: The Dig Out button does not function when you have a FireWire return selected
as an input source. If Dig Out is enabled, any aux, subgroup, and the main bus to
which the return is routed will not receive the post-Fat Channel signal. The
unprocessed signal will still be routed to these buses, as well as to the FireWire bus,
but the Fat Channel processing will not.
If you wish to add Fat Channel processing to a FireWire return, you must
disable Dig Out.
