4.4 Aux and FX Buses
The aux bus provides outputs to create auxiliary mixes that are separate
from the main and subgroup mixes. Your StudioLive is equipped with 12/8
aux buses: Aux 1 through 10/6, 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
other buses, 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
Solo Button. Turns Soloing On/Off.
This button will solo the aux bus to the monitor outputs.
Only PFL soloing is available for the aux buses.
When a Solo button is enabled, that channel or bus will automatically
be selected, and its Select button will illuminate.
Post-Fader Send Button. Enables and Disables the Post-Fader Send.
When this button is enabled, the send levels to that aux bus will be post-Fat Channel
and post-fader and therefore will be affected by fader settings. If the button is
disabled, by default, the aux buses use the Pre 1 setting, so that all channels on the
StudioLive are sent to the aux bus after the Polarity Invert switch, high-pass filter,
and noise gate but before the compressor, EQ, limiter, and fader. However, in the
System Menu, you can select the Pre 2 setting, which makes the send occur after all
Fat Channel processing but before the fader. Please review Section 5.4 for details.
Output Level Control. Adjusts the Master Level of the Aux Output.
This knob controls the overall output level of the aux mix.
Aux Bus 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.
4.4.2 Internal FX Bus Controls
Mute Button. Mutes/Unmutes the Internal Effects Bus.
This button will mute or unmute its internal effects (EFX)
bus. It will illuminate red when the bus is muted.
Post Fader Send Button. Enables/Disables Post-Fader Send.
By default, this button is enabled, and the send levels to the effects buses are
post-EQ, post-dynamics processing, and post-fader and therefore are affected
by fader settings. If the button is disabled, by default, the EFX sends use the
Pre 2 setting, in which the sends are post-EQ and post-dynamics but pre-
fader. However, in the System Menu, you can switch the EFX sends to the Pre 1
setting, in which the sends are pre- fader, EQ and compression, but post- Gain,
Polarity Invert, High Pass Filter, and Gate. Please review Section 5.4 for details.
