4.1 The Fat Channel
The revolutionary Fat Channel is the heart of the StudioLive. The Fat Channel
makes dynamics, routing, and panning for every input and output on the
StudioLive available at the touch of a Select button. The 12 multipurpose
knobs and meters located in the Fat Channel control nearly every adjustment
you will need to make on your StudioLive. From the Fat Channel, you can:
• Add dynamics processing and EQ to every input and output
• Create aux and effects mixes for all four analog aux
buses and both internal effects buses
• Engage phantom power for each mic preamp.
• Meter input level and gain reduction for all 16 channels
• Meter output level for all four aux buses and the Main output
• Copy, save, and load Fat Channel and GEQ presets
• Recall your fader position for stored mixes
4.1.1 Select Buttons, Meters, and the Fat Channel
Select Buttons. All around the StudioLive, you will see Select buttons. There is a
Select button on each of the 12 channels, each of the 4 analog aux buses, both of the
internal effects buses, 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 1-8 indicate one of the 8 mono input channels is selected; 9, 11, 13, or 15
indicate that one of the 4 stereo input channels is selected; MA indicates the Main
bus; A1-A4 indicates Aux 1-4; and Fa and Fb indicate EFX A and EFX B.
