Owner’s Manual
Pre/Post Channel Sends
You can select the send positions for the channels routed to each Matrix mix. By
default, all Matrix mixes are set to Pre 1. This places the send of every input channel
to each aux bus before the fader, limiter, EQ, and compressor, but after the Polarity
Invert switch, high-pass filter, and gate.
From the FlexMix settings menu, you can choose between three send positions for
your mix:
Pre 1: Sends each channel to the Matrix bus after the polarity invert, high-pass filter,
and gate.
Pre 2: Sends each channel to the Matrix bus after all Fat Channel processing (polarity
invert, high-pass filter, gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter) but before the fader.
Post: Sends each channel to the Matrix bus after all Fat Channel processing (polarity
invert, high-pass filter, gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter), and after the fader.
Note: Buses on which a GEQ has been inserted will be sent to Matrix mixes before the GEQ.
5.4.2 Creating a Front Fill Mix
In some venues, the house PA doesn’t cover the front rows effectively. This can be
especially problematic in the band on stage is using in-ear monitors instead of floor
wedges. Without floor wedges the people seated in the first few rows are actually
“behind” the PA because they will hear more stage volume from the instruments on
stage than from the front-of-house system. This problem can be solved by placing a
few low profile speakers on the front edge of the stage to cover the first few rows of
the audience.
You will want to blend the Main Left/Right mix at a low level with the source signals
that may be difficult to hear, like the vocal and direct bass channels.
5.5 FX Buses
FX Buses act just like Aux mixes, but rather than feeding an output, they feed one of
the StudioLive’s internal effects processors. This allows you to customize the amount
of a channel’s signal that is being effected. Your StudioLive has dedicated FX buses,
each one feeding its own internal FX processor. The StudioLive 64S has 8 internal FX
buses; all other models have 4.
Pre/Post Channel Sends
Like Aux mixes, you can select the send position for each channel that is routed to
an FX Mix. By default, all FX buses are set to Post. This places the send of every input
channel to each FX bus after the fader, limiter, EQ, and compressor, Polarity Invert
switch, high-pass filter, and gate. See Section 5.2 for more information on the other
available settings.
