4.1 The Fat Channel
The revolutionary Fat Channel is the heart of the StudioLive. The Fat Channel
makes dynamics, routing, and panning for every input and output on the
StudioLive available at the touch of a Select button. The 24/16 multipurpose
knobs and meters located in the Fat Channel control nearly every adjustment
you will need to make on your StudioLive. From the Fat Channel, you can:
• Add dynamics processing and EQ to every input and output
• Create sends and effects mixes for every analog
aux bus and both internal effects buses
• Assign subgroup and main routing
• Meter inputs, post-dynamics-processing outputs, and
gain reduction for every input channel
• Meter aux-send outputs
• Copy, save, and load mix scenes
• Recall your fader position for stored mixes
4.1.1 Select Buttons, Meters, and the Fat Channel
Select Buttons. All around the StudioLive, you will see Select buttons. There is a
Select button on each of the input channels, each of the analog aux buses, both of
the internal FX (effects) buses, each of the subgroups, both auxiliary inputs, and the
main output bus. Each of these buttons serves exactly the same purpose: to access
the Fat Channel parameters for its channel or bus.
It should be noted that while the noise gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter are available
on every input and bus, the high-pass filter is only available on the input channels,
aux buses, and internal FX buses, and Polarity Invert is only available on the input
channels.
Selected Channel Display. In the lower right corner of the Fat Channel, you will find
an LED readout. The currently selected channel will always be displayed here.
