5.5.6 Copy and Load
Channel-strip settings from any channel or bus on either mixer in the chain
can be copied to any other channel or bus on the other mixer in the chain.
For example, if you select Channel 4 on the Slave and press the Copy button,
every Select button on both mixers in the chain will begin to flash. To paste
the Channel 4 settings to any other channel, simply press that channel’s
Select button; it will stop flashing and will illuminate. Press the Load button to
paste the Fat Channel setting. Please review Sections 4.1.6 through 4.1.8.
5.5.7 Local Versus Merged Buses and Inputs
As discussed earlier, the two internal effects buses on each mixer are
controlled from the mixer to which they belong, and they can only
accept signals from the channels on their respective mixers.
The following inputs and bus are local only:
Talkback Microphone: The talkback microphone on the Master unit‘s Master
section is the only talkback mic that can be routed to the aux mixes on the Master
unit and to its main outputs. While the Talkback section on the Slave is active
through its outputs, it cannot be patched into the Master unit. Because of this, you
should connect your talkback mic to the Master unit and control it from there.
Tape Input: As described in Section 4.7.3, the Tape input on the StudioLive is
patched directly to the Main output using a button in the Master section. The
Tape inputs are active on both mixers in the chain, but the Tape In button only
routes the associated Tape input to the Main bus on that unit. For example, the
Tape In button on the Slave patches it to the Main bus on the Slave only. Because
of this, we recommend that you only use the Tape input on the Master unit.
Monitor Bus: You must use the Monitor section on the Master unit to monitor
all channels in the chain (by listening to the Solo bus or the Main bus), the
Tape input for the Master Main bus, and the Main FireWire return. The Monitor
bus on the slaved unit can only receive signals from the mixer it is on.
The Solo bus is a merged bus; any channel on any mixer can be soloed and
monitored from the Master unit. When either PFL or SIP is engaged on either
mixer, both mixers are placed into the same mode at the same time.
