5.6.2
Turn the Output knob in the Aux 1 section to
12 o'clock and press the Select button. In
the Fat Channel, assign Aux 1 to the Main
outputs.
Press the Mix button for Aux 3. The meter
section of the StudioLive will now show the
output levels of each of the 16 channels.
The encoders below each meter control the
output level of each channel into Aux 3. You
will use these encoders to set the send levels
from the aux bus to the effects processor, the
same way you used them to create a monitor
mix, only in this case you will decide which channels will be sent to the external multi-effects
processor and how much will be sent.
Let's say that you are inserting an external reverb to liven up a relatively dead room. You might send
a little bit of each input to the reverb, but you probably will not want much of the drums and bass
to be processed, as too much reverb could reduce their impact and leave your mix without a sturdy
foundation. So rather than turning the Aux send level for the kick drum channel all the way up, turn
it to the 7 or 8 o'clock position so that only a small portion of the kick drum input will be affected
by the reverb.
Once you have determined your effects mix, you can press the Select button for Aux 3 to add
dynamics processing and EQ to the aux mix before it is sent to the external effects processor. The
effects processor's output is patched to Aux Input A, so you can use the Select button for Aux Input
A to add Fat Channel dynamics processing and EQ to the reverb-enhanced signal. The knob for Aux
Input A controls the level of the aux mix relative to the level of your main mix.
