Mute Button. Turns Muting On/Off.
This button mutes its channel. It will illuminate red when the channel is
muted. Where a channel will be muted is determined by the Global Mute
setting in the System menu. By default, Global Mute is set to “Yes”. While in
this mode, engaging a channel mute button will mute the channel in all of
its assigned outputs (subgroups, mains, aux and FX buses). Disabling Global
Mute will allow the channel to continue to be heard in the Aux bus mixes
while muting in all other bus mixes. See Section 5.5 for more information.
Channel Fader. Controls the Overall Level of the Channel.
Each input channel features a 100 mm long-throw fader for accurate
level adjustment. Unity gain (0 dB) is denoted by a “U.”
The white area above the fader can be used as a scribble strip. Use only
oil pencils; other types of pens or pencils cannot be wiped off.
To clean the scribble strip, use a lightly damp cloth to remove the writing.

Aux and FX Buses
The aux bus provides outputs to create auxiliary mixes that are separate
from the main and subgroup mixes. The StudioLive is equipped with
18/14/10 aux buses: Auxes 1 through 14/10/6, which have physical
output jacks, and internal effects buses FX A, B, C, and D.
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. As with the other buses, the StudioLive allows
you to add global dynamics processing and EQ to these aux buses.
The analog aux buses are mono; however, two aux
buses can be linked to create a stereo bus.
