GROUP AND REVERB CHANNEL STRIPS

Group buses can be used to create a mix sub-group, which

is a set of inputs you wish to control together as a group.

Groups differ from aux buses in that they have aux sends,

a reverb send, as well as a Main Mix send. In addition,

group buses are equipped with the Leveler.

The Reverb bus is a special group bus that provides a

reverb processor. If you disable the reverb, the reverb bus

functions as a (fourth) regular group bus.

To access the Group and Reverb bus channel strips, go to

the Mixing tab (page 16), reveal the side bar (item #3 on

page 16), and then show the desired Group buses or

Reverb bus in the Mixer Outputs section (29).

To show and hide the four-band EQ section of the channel

strip, use the Controls section of the side bar (item #3 in

the Mixing tab on page 16).

1. A Group bus channel strip. Click the name to rename

it. Delete the current name to return to its default.

2. The Reverb bus. If you disable the Reverb processor, it

can be used as a fourth Group bus. The Reverb

channel strip is twice as wide as other mixer channel

strips to accommodate the Reverb processor controls.

3. Group busses and the Reverb bus are always stereo.

4. The four-band parametric EQ module for Group buses

and the Reverb bus operates the same as described

for input channels (items 10 and 11 on page 18),

including High and Low Shelf filter options.

5. The thumbnail EQ Graph displays the currently

enabled EQ filters, if any. Click it to open the full-size,

editable EQ Graph (Figure 9-4 on page 77).

6. The Leveler provides specialized gain reduction

modeled after the legendary Teletronix LA-2A Level-

ing Amplifier. For complete details, see “Leveler” on

page 79.

7. Sends to aux buses and, for groups, the reverb proces-

sor.

8. The Reverb processor. For complete information, see

“Reverb” on page 80.

9. Main Mix sends.

10. Click to route the talkback mic to the group output.

11. Master faders for the Group and Reverb busses.

13. Use these menus (hardware settings, output assign-

ment, and presets) in a similar fashion as described

for the Main Out bus (items 3-5 on page 19).
