Fat Channel Panning and Stereo Link

4.1.4
Power User Tip: Note that this is a nondestructive paste; when the Link button is disengaged, the
other channel's previous settings will be restored. For instance, if Channel 8 is selected when the
Stereo Link button is engaged, all of Channel 8's settings will be copied onto Channel 7. If Channel 7 is
selected when the Stereo Link button is engaged, Channel 7's settings will be copied onto Channel 8.
Because the settings are copied nondestructively, it is possible to A/B dynamics settings with the touch
of two buttons. Whichever channel is selected when the Link button is engaged will be the Link Master.
When either channel in the stereo link is selected, both channels' Select buttons will illuminate, but the
Link Master's ID number will be displayed in the Selected Channel LED read-out in the Fat Channel.

Fat Channel: Output Assignments

Stereo linking is done within the Fat Channel. Input channels, aux buses, and
subgroups can be linked to create a stereo pair. The stereo pairs are predefined and
cannot be changed. They are as follows:
Channels 1 and 2
Channels 3 and 4
Channels 5 and 6
Channels 7 and 8
A stereo link can be enabled when either channel in the pair is selected.
When the Stereo Link button is illuminated, all dynamics settings, subgroup
assignments, and main assignments are pasted to the other channel in the pair.
Subgroups can only be assigned to the main outs, and the six aux
sends cannot be assigned to a subgroup or to the main outputs.
Any channel on the input bus can be assigned to any or all of the
subgroup outputs, as well as to the main outputs. This includes the 16
main inputs and the 2 auxiliary inputs. The internal effects returns can also
be assigned to any or all of the subgroups and to the main outputs.
The Fat Channel also gives you the option of sending just the unprocessed audio to
your computer or including the Fat Channel settings in the recorded signal. When the
Dig Out button is enabled, the signal being sent to the FireWire bus is post-EQ and
post-dynamics processing; the button will illuminate to indicate this signal flow.
When the button is disabled, the signal being sent to the FireWire bus is pre-Fat
Channel. The Dig Out button is only available when one of the 16 channel inputs is
selected. The subgroups, main output, aux bus, aux inputs, and internal effects
returns automatically send their signals post-Fat Channel dynamics and EQ. All
FireWire sends are pre-fader except for the subgroups and the main outputs. For
more information on using your StudioLive as an audio interface, please consult
Section 6.
The Pan Control for each Input or Output bus is set on
the Fat Channel. The LED display shows the Pan
setting, and the encoder to the right of the display
controls panning for the selected input or output bus.
When two channels are linked as stereo pair, the LED
display will automatically change to stereo pan.
Channels 9 and 10 Aux 1 and Aux 2
Channels 11 and 12 Aux 3 and Aux 4
Channels 13 and 14 Aux 5 and Aux 6
Channels 15 and 16 Subgroups 1 and 2
Subgroups 3 and 4
Output assignments are set within the Fat Channel. It
should be noted that the StudioLive will prevent you
from creating a feedback loop.
