1. Signal Source. Displays whether this channel is receiving signal from an
analog or digital source. Press to open the Digital Patching screen. For more
information, see Section 12.3.1.
2. Channel Settings Button. Touch to access additional channel settings.
3. Name and Number. Displays currently selected channel or bus name and
number.
4. Current Parameter. Displays currently control parameter and its value.
5. Presets. Opens Presets menu on the Touch Display.
6. EQ Type. Changes the type of EQ model.
7. Comp>EQ. The Compressor and EQ can be reordered in the signal path. By
default, the signal passes through the compressor before passing through
through EQ. When reordered, the EQ is placed before the compressor in the
signal path.
Power User Tip: Placing the compressor before the EQ allows you to make dramatic
changes to the EQ settings without needing to alter the compressor setting. However, if
you place the EQ before the compressor, you can better control different frequencies,
achieving a more natural response.
6.8.5.1 Standard EQ Overview Screen
When the Fat Channel is in Standard EQ mode, the Touch Display shows an EQ
overview screen, displaying the relevant parameters, along with useful metering and
a graphical representation of the effect of current settings. Touching any onscreen
knob (or EQ node, in the Standard EQ) allows you to use the Master Control encoder
to set the selected parameter. Touching a drop-down selector (such as Key Source)
lets you select from a list of relevant choices. Use the Master Control encoder to scroll
through choices. Touching onscreen buttons toggles the related parameter on or off.
Power User Tip: For StudioLive models with dynamic Fat Channel displays, many of these
parameters can also be controlled from the encoders and buttons in the Fat Channel. See
Section 6.6.1 for details.
