2.2 Useful Concepts

This section covers some basic workﬂow concepts to help you to more quickly get

acquainted with your StudioLive.

2.2.1 Select Buttons and the Fat Channel

All around the StudioLive, you will see Select buttons. There is a Select button on

each channel as well as the master fader. Each of these buttons serves exactly the

same purpose: to access the available Fat Channel parameters for its channel or bus.

These buttons will also change colors to alert you as to the type of mix you are

viewing (Aux, Subgroup, or Matrix)

The Fat Channel is the heart of the StudioLive. It gives you a wealth of powerful signal

processing, mixing, and conﬁguration tools to help you make the most of your mixer.

Each channel and mix in your StudioLive can take advantage of the Fat Channel

functions at the touch of the corresponding Select button.

The 8 multipurpose knobs, buttons, and Scribble Strip displays in the Fat Channel

shift their functions to suit your needs as you move between tasks. The integrated

touchscreen works in tandem, providing useful information and ﬂuid touch control.

For more information on using the Fat Channel system, see Section 5.
