Subgroup Mixing 8.4
2. After you have gone through the entire kit and are
satisfied with each channel’s level, EQ, and dynamics,
unsolo your final channel. Have the drummer play the
entire kit and set the relative volume and panning for
each mic in the mix. Choose the Select button above
Subgroup 1.
3. In the Fat Channel’s Stereo section (to the right of the Pan display), enable
Link, and turn the Pan knob all the way clockwise to set the stereo pan to
hard left and right. Now Subgroups 1 and 2 are linked, with Sub 1 panned
hard left and Sub 2 panned hard right. The channel panning is preserved.
4. Now assign Subgroup 1 to the Main outputs; since Subgroup 2 is linked to
Sub 1, it is automatically assigned to the Main outs as well. You can now
use the Fat Channel section to add dynamics processing and EQ to the
stereo drum group. Subgroup 1’s fader controls the level for the left side
of your drum mix, and Subgroup 2’s fader controls the right side.
8.4.2
Effects Group
This is perhaps one of the most creative ways in which a subgroup can be used.
By assigning an effects mix to a subgroup, the front-of-house engineer can
become, in effect, a member of the band. This is especially useful when employing
specialty or signature effects. For instance, a typical vocal mix for an electronic
band dramatically trails off in a wash of reverb, whereas a reggae band usually has
delay on vocals. The StudioLive allows you to assign either or both of the onboard
effects buses to a subgroup. So let’s take the example of the reggae band.
1. In this example we will assign the delay on EFX A (effects bus A) to Subgroup 3.
Press the FX button in the Master Control section to access the Effects menu.
2. In the EFX A parameters, use the Value Encoder to scroll through the ef-
fects library until you find a suitable delay, and adjust its parameters
to taste. (See Section 4.8.1 for complete operation instructions.)
3. Next, decide which channels should be sent to the effects bus. In
dub and reggae music, the vocals are most commonly sent to a
delay, so let’s send our two vocalists on channels 10 and 11 to that
delay. To assign the vocals, select the Mix button on EFX A.
4. Using the meter section, locate the send encoders for chan-
nels 10 and 11 and turn them to a little more than 50%.
