4.4 Aux and FX Buses
The aux bus provides outputs to create auxiliary mixes that are separate from the
main mix. Your StudioLive is equipped with 6 aux buses: Aux 1 through 4, which
have physical output jacks, and EFX A and B, which are the internal effects buses.
Aux buses can be used for many applications, the two most common of which are
creating monitor mixes and inserting external effects processors into the mix. As
with the main mix, the StudioLive allows you to add global dynamics processing
and EQ to these aux buses, in addition to individual channel processing.
The analog aux buses are mono; however, two aux
buses can be linked to create a stereo bus.
4.4.1 Analog Aux Bus Controls
Aux MultiMode Button. Solos and/or Mutes Aux Output.
This button’s function is determined by the MultiMode control switches.
Depending on which mode is engaged, this button will function as the
Solo or Mute button for its input channel. For more information on the
MultiMode buttons and their functions, please refer to Section 4.5.
Note: FireWire returns are only available for the 16 channels of the Input bus. When
FireWire Return mode is engaged, only the channel multimode buttons will function.
More information about FireWire returns can be found in Section 2.5.3 of the StudioLive
Software Library Reference Manual.
Aux Output Select Button. Enables Fat Channel Viewing.
As previously described in section 4.1.1, the Select button routes its aux bus
through the Fat Channel, allowing you to add dynamics processing and EQ.
Aux Output Fader. Controls the Overall Level of the Aux Output.
Each Aux features a 60 mm fader for level adjustment.
Unity gain (0 dB) is denoted by a “U.”
The white area above the fader can be used as a scribble strip. Use only
oil pencils; other types of pens or pencils cannot be wiped off.
To clean the scribble strip, use a lightly damp cloth to remove the writing.
