We started this manual with a quick and easy way to set up the input levels for your
StudioLive, ensuring that you have the highest possible input level without clipping
your analog-to-digital converters. The next step is to set up your mix by dialing in
the dynamics, EQ, and fader settings for each channel. This is a job for Solo In Place
(SIP) mode. As previously mentioned, Solo In Place is a great way to dial in your mix
without disturbing your musicians' last minute rehearsal or subjecting your audience
to that impromptu jam session on stage. Radio Solo mode is especially useful for this
purpose because it allows you to quickly solo just one channel at a time.

9. When you've finished, press the Edit button in the Solo section and touch
Solo in Place on the Touch Display to disable it and set up your fader mixer.
Power User Tip: While Radio Solo mode is especially useful for setting levels as described
above, it is not ideal for soloing during a live show. Because of this, once you have set your
levels, go back to the Solo Edit menu and select either Latch or CR Solo Mode.
