5 5.1 5 Basic Controls Input Channel Controls StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls The StudioLive is equipped with all of the standard input controls of an analog mixer. In addition, the StudioLive provides the added flexibility of routing a playback stream from your audio-recording software to the mixer via the USB bus, just as if it were an analog input.
5 5.2 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Aux and FX Buses 5.2 Aux and FX Buses The aux bus provides outputs to create auxiliary mixes that are separate from the main mix. Your StudioLive is equipped with 6 aux buses: Aux 1 through 4, which have physical output jacks, and EFX A and B, which are the internal effects buses. Aux buses can be used for many applications, the two most common of which are creating monitor mixes and inserting external effects processors into the mix.
5 5.2 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Aux and FX Buses 5.2.2 Internal FX Bus Controls Just to the right of the Fat Channel, you will find the master bus controls for the two internal effects buses, EFX A and EFX B: Internal Effects Bus Select Button. Enables Fat Channel Viewing. The Select button brings the Fat channel for its Effects Bus into focus, allowing you to add dynamics processing and EQ. Main Assign Button. Assigns/Unassigns FX bus to Main Output.
5 5.2 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Aux and FX Buses 5.2.4 Creating Monitor Mixes Creating custom monitor mixes is critical. If musicians can’t hear themselves or their bandmates, their performance will suffer. A monitor mix can be mono or stereo. Most often, an individual live monitor mix is mono and is sent to a floor-wedge or sidefill monitor. (The obvious exception is in-ear monitor systems.
5 5.2 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Aux and FX Buses 5.2.5 Creating Internal FX Mixes There are at least two main advantages to creating an FX mix, rather than inserting an effect in a channel. First, several channels can be sent to a single processor. In addition to greatly simplifying the number of parameters you have to control, this can create a cohesive sound in your mix.
5 5.3 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls MultiModes To send FXA’s mix to a monitor mix, press the Aux Assign Button. For information on changing the effects preset, type or parameters, see Section 6.1. 5.3 MultiModes Each channel and aux on the StudioLive 16.0.2 USB features a MultiMode button. These buttons allow you to solo or mute a channel or aux, as well as engage the channel USB returns.
5 5.4 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Main Output Bus When a channel or bus is soloed, it will automatically be selected, and its Select button will illuminate. Power User Tip: When Solo In Place is engaged, Solo mode will display both the solos and subsequent mutes across the MultiMode buttons; that is, if you solo Channel 1 while in Solo In Place, Channel 1’s MultiMode button will illuminate yellow; all other MultiMode buttons will illuminate red.
5 5.6 5.6 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Solo Bus Solo Bus The StudioLive features an independent Solo bus. This feature is extremely useful in setting levels for monitor mixes, dialing in dynamics processing on each channel, and fixing issues during a live show without interrupting the main mix. Solo Bus Level Control. Adjusts the Overall Volume of the Solo Bus. This knob adjusts the overall level for the Solo bus. PFL Toggle Button. Enables PFL Solo Mode.
5 5.6 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Solo Bus 5.6.1 Using the Solo Bus for Monitoring When mixing live, or when recording multiple musicians at once, it is often necessary to quickly listen in on just one instrument or group. The Solo and Monitor buses can be used together for this purpose.
5 5.6 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Solo Bus 6. You can increase the overall volume of the Solo bus using the Level knob in the Solo section. Power User Tip: This feature can also be used to listen to a monitor mix that is being routed to an aux send. Let’s say a vocalist on stage complains that there is too much bass in his monitor but you are confident that no bass is being sent to that particular aux send.
5 5.7 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Monitor Bus 5. The Fat Channel will display the dynamics processing, EQ, output routing, and pan settings for the kick drum. Using the encoders and meters in the Fat Channel, set up the compressor and EQ for this channel. 6. Once you are satisfied, bring the channel fader back down. 7. Next, press the MultiMode button on the snare-mic channel and repeat steps 4-6.
5 5.7 StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Basic Controls Monitor Bus Main Button. Assigns the Main Mix to the Monitor Bus. The Main Mix Monitor button routes the same signal that is being sent from the main outputs to the monitor bus. This signal is always pre-fader. Power User Tip: Because the monitor bus is a summing amp, you can listen to the solo and main buses at the same time.

6 6.3 Digital Effects | Master Control Graphic Equalizer StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual Graphic EQs are generally used to fine-tune the overall mix to create the aesthetic that you are trying to achieve. For example, if you are mixing a rock band, you may want to boost some of the low end to get more pummeling kick and toms. In general, you do not want to make drastic amplitude adjustments to any particular frequency band.
6 6.3 Digital Effects | Master Control Graphic Equalizer StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB Owner’s Manual you get. With a carefully drawn, smooth curve the StudioLive EQ will have almost no frequency ripple. The StudioLive EQ is also capable of very sharp notches.
