Monitor Output Level Control. Adjusts the Overall Level of the Monitor Output.
This knob adjusts the overall level of the control-room monitor outputs.
FireWire Monitor Button. Assigns FireWire Returns 1 and 2 to the Monitor Bus.
The FireWire Monitor button patches FireWire returns 1 and 2 to the
monitor bus. The level for this input is controlled by the level set in the
computer application (such as Studio One Artist) that is playing the audio.
For more information about the main FireWire returns, please review
Section 2.5.4 in the StudioLive Software Library Reference Manual.
Solo Bus Monitor Button. Assigns the Solo Bus to the Monitor Outputs.
The Solo Bus Monitor button patches any soloed channel or aux bus to
the monitor bus. This can be useful in a number of ways. For example:
• Auditioning an aux-send monitor mix
• Dialing in the dynamics processing and EQ on a channel or aux mix
• Creating a better blend for instrumental sections (horns, strings, etc.)
Main Mix Monitor Button. Assigns the Main Mix to the Monitor Bus.
The Main Mix Monitor button routes the same signal that is being sent from
the main outputs to the monitor bus. This signal is always pre-fader.
Power User Tip: Because the monitor bus is a summing amp, you can listen to
the solo and main buses at the same time. By summing the main mix and the solo
bus, you can raise the volume of the channel you’re tweaking without affecting the
mix the audience hears. To do this, enable both the main mix and the solo bus in
your monitors. Solo the channels you need to work on and raise the Solo Output
level so that the channels are louder than the main mix. This is especially useful
when trying to determine the source of an odd frequency or tone in mid show.
