2.5.2 Auxiliary Digital Sends
Each StudioLive AI mixer features additional Digital Sends that can be
routed in stereo pairs from the Setup tab in VSL-AI. Any combination of
eight of the following stereo inputs and buses can be selected:
• Main Mix Left / Right
• Subgroup 1 and 2
• Subgroup 3 and 4
• Aux Send 1 and 2
• Aux Send 3 and 4
• Aux Send 5 and 6
• Aux Send 7 and 8 (StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 32.4.2AI only)
• Aux Send 9 and 10 (StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 32.4.2AI only)
• Aux Send 11 and 12 (StudioLive 32.4.2AI only)
• Aux Send 13 and 14 (StudioLive 32.4.2AI only)
• Aux Send A and B (FXA and FXB Send Mixes)
• Aux Send C and D (FXC and FXD Send Mixes)
• Aux Return A (Aux Input A)
• Aux Return B (Aux Input B)
• 2 Track Left/Right
• Talkback Left/Right
• Solo Left/Right
Power User Tip: Note that either channel of the stereo pair can still be accessed
on a mono track in your host application; only the routing must be assigned as a
stereo pair. For instance, if you have a backing-vocal group routed to Subgroup
1 and a guitar group routed to Subgroup 2, you would create two mono tracks
in your recording application. The track whose input is assigned to Subgroup
1 will record the backing-vocal group, and the track whose input is assigned
to Subgroup 2 will record the guitar group. If, however, you have a stereo drum
group assigned to Subgroups 3-4, you can create a stereo track in your recording
application and assign its input to Subgroups 3 and 4. For more information on
subgroup mixing, please see Section 4.5 in the StudioLive AI Owner’s Manual.
The obvious exception to this principle is the Talkback Mic input. In this instance, the
same signal will be printed on both sides of the send. In your recording software, you can
create a mono track and assign it to either side of the stereo Digital Send to which it is
routed. Both Digital Sends receive the same mono signal from the talkback mic preamp.
Section 4.8.1 discusses how to select the sources for
these auxiliary stereo Digital Sends.
