Creating Monitor Mixes
The mix buses on the RM-series can be configured as either aux
mixes or subgroups. The StudioLive RM allows you to add global
dynamics processing and EQ to these mix buses. The mix buses are
mono; however, two can be linked to create a stereo bus.
Creating custom monitor mixes is critical. If musicians can't hear themselves or their
bandmates, their performance will suffer. A monitor mix can be mono or stereo.
As an example, let's create a stereo in-ear-monitor mix on Aux 1 and 2.
1. To begin, press the Mix 1 button above the scribble strip. The channel
strips will display each input channel's send level to Aux 1.
2. Press the Select button on the Flex Master fader to select the Aux 1 master.
The Fat Channel will now display the settings for the Aux 1 master send.
3. Press the Link button in the Fat Channel to stereo link Aux 1 and Aux 2.
When linked, both Mix buttons above the scribble strip will illuminate,
and pan indicators will appear in the scribble strip display.
4. Turn up the Flex Master fader to unity. This will turn
up the master send level for Aux Mix 1/2.
5. Ask your musicians what they would like in their monitor
mix and use their requests as a starting point. Turn up the
faders to send the associated channel to the aux mix.
