Aux Send Position
Press the Page Down button to access the Aux Pre Position page. By
default, all four aux buses are set to Pre 1. This places the send of all 16
channels to the aux bus before the fader, limiter, EQ, and compressor
and after the phase-reverse switch, high-pass filter, and noise gate.
The two internal effects buses are set to Post, which sends each of
the channels after all Fat Channel dynamics and EQ and the fader.
From this menu, you can choose between three send positions for each aux mix:
Pre 1: Sends each channel to the aux bus after the
polarity invert, high-pass filter, and gate.
Pre 2: Sends each channel to the aux bus after all Fat Channel parameters (polarity
invert, high-pass filter, gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter) but before the fader.
Post: Sends each channel to the aux bus after all Fat Channel parameters (polarity
invert, high-pass filter, gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter) and after the fader.
Power User Tip: Use the Pre 2 position for headphone and in-ear mixes
to give your performers a polished “studio” sound. This setting should be
avoided for floor wedges, as compression can cause feedback problems!
If you have two aux buses stereo-linked, you only need to set the Pre
position on the Link Master. Remember, the Link Master is the aux that
was selected when the link was created. To determine which aux is the
Link Master, simply select either of the aux buses in the pair. The Link
Master‘s ID will be shown in the Select Channel LED readout.
Sync Information
Press the Page Down button to access the Sync Information
page. From here, you can view your FireWire connectivity.
When the StudioLive is connected and synced to a computer via
FireWire, Status will read “Driver On,” and Sample Rate will read
“FireWire.” (See Section 2 in the StudioLive Software Library Reference
Manual for more details on using the StudioLive as an audio interface.)
Power User Tip: To ensure the safety of the audio equipment connected to it, the
StudioLive will mute all post-converter outputs for two seconds when the sample rate is
changed and while the mixer is connecting to a computer. The Main, Control Room, and
Aux outputs are muted. While this offers a good measure of protection to your sound
system, it could put the brakes on a live show. Because of this, it very important that the
sample rate be selected and locked in prior to beginning any recording or performance.
MIDI Control Mode
The StudioLive 16.0.2 can be remotely controlled with a
DAW, a MIDI footswitch, a MIDI keyboard, and an assortment
of other MIDI control devices. Pages 4 and 5 of the System
menu allow you turn MIDI Control Mode on as well as select
on which MIDI channels the StudioLive will be controlled, as
well as which MIDI Control Change messages will be used.
The next section, Section 5.5, goes through MIDI Control Mode in greater detail.
