23. 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 The second advantage of creating an FX mix is that you can vary the level sent from each channel to the processor rather than patching the output directly into the effect This allows you to add a lot or a little of an effect to any given channel The StudioLive features two internal effects buses These are used much in the same way the aux buses are used to create monitor mixes 1 To begin decide to which outputs you d like to route your FX mix and then press the appropriate assign button in the FXA bus For example if you would like hear the effects in your Main mix press the Main assign button 2 Next press the FXA Encoder Mode button The Fat Channel meters will display the send level of each of the input channels to FXA The encoders below each meter control the channel s level in FXA s mix Use these encoders the same way that you use the faders to set the output level to your main mix The higher a channel s level is in the FX mix the more processed wetter it will sound Let s say that you are using reverb to liven up a relatively dead room You might send a little bit of each input to the reverb but you probably will not want much of th
