Select Buttons. All around the StudioLive, you will see Select buttons. There is a
Select button on each of the 16 inputs, each of the 6 analog aux sends, both of the
internal effects buses, each of the 4 subgroups, the 2 auxiliary inputs, and the Main
output bus. Each of these buttons serves exactly the same purpose: to access the Fat
Channel parameters for its channel or bus.
Selected Channel Display. In the lower right corner of the Fat Channel, you will find
an LED readout. The currently selected channel will always be displayed here.
(Numbers 1-16 indicate one of the 16 input channels is selected, S1-S4 indicates
Subgroups 1-4, MA indicates the Main bus, A1-A6 indicates Aux 1-6, FA and Fb
indicate EFX A and EFX B, and AA and Ab indicate Aux inputs A and B.)
Selected Channel Meters. In addition, two meters—part of a set of eight meters
located in the top right section of the mixer—are dedicated to displaying
information about the currently selected channel. The meter on the far left of this
section displays the pre-fader input level for the selected channel. The meter to the
right of it displays the gain reduction for the selected channel. It is important to
mention that these meters are only active when one of the 16 input channels or an
aux bus is selected.
It should be noted that while the noise gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter are
available on every input and bus, the high-pass filter is only available on the inputs,
6 auxes, and 2 internal FX buses, and the phase reverse is only available on the 16
inputs. In addition, other inputs and buses without Select buttons are available
to route to the auxiliary FireWire returns. (See Section 6.4.2 for more details.)
