Virtual StudioLive 4.1
An effects mix is created by using a channel send. The A and B channel
sends control the volume settings for each channel to FX buses A and B,
respectively.
To control the overall amount of the effects you will hear in your mix, use
the FX A and FX B faders.
Above each effects fader, you will see the individual parameter
controls. These allow you to adjust the effect to taste.
• Reverb: Predelay. This is the time between the end of the initial
sound and the moment when the first reflections become audible.
• Reverb: Room size. This allows you to adjust
the size of your virtual “room.”
• Reverb: Width. The width control increases
the stereo width of the reverb bus.
• Delay: Delay Time. This is the time between
the source signal and its echo.
• Delay: Feedback. Variable feedback, or regeneration,
produces multiple decaying repeats.
• Reverb & Delay: Damping. This control dampens the
higher frequencies in the reverb reflections.
It is important to mention that both FX bus A and FX bus B must be
patched to an output pair in order to hear them in the mix. On each of
the output buses, you will see buttons labeled FXA and FXB. These
buttons route the output of the FX buses to the physical outputs on your
interface. By default, both FX buses are routed to all outputs.
4.2 AB1818VSL Remote
AB1818VSL Remote for iPad® provides an unprecedented level
of remote control over Virtual StudioLive for AudioBox 1818VSL.
With AB1818VSL Remote, you can adjust level, pan, dynamics,
bus routing, FX mixes, and aux mixes from an Apple iPad via
a wireless network. All you need is a computer with Wi-Fi
capabilities and an Apple iPad, and you’re ready to get started.
4.2.1 Networking your iPad and Computer
To use AB1818VSL Remote, you must first install the AudioBox
driver and Virtual StudioLive on, and sync your AudioBox 1818VSL
to, a Windows or Mac computer that has a USB 2.0 connection
and a wireless card. Once you have connected and synced your
AudioBox 1818VSL to your computer, the next step is to create an
ad hoc wireless network between your iPad and your computer.
An ad hoc, or “peer-to-peer,” network is a very simple network
involving at least two systems—in this case, the computer to
which your StudioLive is connected and an Apple iPad. Unlike
a local area network (LAN), no server or router is needed.
