9.1.3 Using Solo in Place to Set Up a Mix
We started this manual with a quick and easy way to set up the input levels for your
StudioLive, ensuring that you have the highest possible input level without clipping
your analog-to-digital converters. The next step is to set up your mix by dialing in
the dynamics, EQ, and fader settings for each channel. This is a job for Solo In Place
(SIP) mode. As previously mentioned, Solo In Place is a great way to dial in your mix
without disturbing your musicians’ last minute rehearsal or subjecting your audience
to that impromptu jam session on stage. Radio Solo mode is especially useful for this
purpose because it allows you to quickly solo just one channel at a time.
1. Press the Edit button in the Solo section to bring up the Solo screen.
2. Touch Radio in the Solo Mode section of the touchscreen to enable Radio
Solo mode.
3. Touch Solo in Place on the touchscreen to enable Solo in Place mode.
4. Touch Solo Selects on the touchscreen to enable Solo Selects mode.
5. Raise your channel faders and Master fader to unity gain.
6. Many engineers start with the drums and work from the bottom up, so
press the Solo button on your kick-drum mic channel. Notice that all the
other channels on your StudioLive have been muted, and the kick-drum
channel is selected.
