The Fat Channel 4.1
Gate On/Off
Button
Turns the Gate On and Off for the Selected
Channel.
This button engages and
disengages the gate for the
selected channel. It will illuminate
to indicate that the gate has been
enabled.
The gate is available for all input and
output buses.
Gate Key
Listen Button
Enables Key Listen in the Solo Bus.
This button engages and
disengages the Key Listen function
in the solo bus. It will illuminate to
indicate that the Key Listen is
active. When Key Listen is enabled,
and the Selected channel is soloed,
you will be able to monitor what is
being removed by the gate, using
the Control Room outputs.
Gate Expander
Button
Turns the Noise Gate into an Expander.
The StudioLive allows you to
choose between an expander and
a noise gate for each channel or
output. By default, the Expander
button will be enabled.
Power User Tip:
In practice, expanders and noise
gates are used almost identically. The main
difference is that an expander is smoother and
more gradual, so that it is easier to set the attack
and release times correctly.
Gate Key Filter
Sets and Displays the Frequency at Which
the Gate Will Open.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the frequency at which
the gate will open. Setting a
specific frequency, in addition to a
specific decibel level, provides
more sonic shaping.
Power User Tip:
A properly set Key Filter
on a gate can greatly improve the overall
sound quality of a mix. For example, if you
are miking a bass amp and are picking up
a bit of the kick drum from that mic, setting
the gate to open at the frequency of the
kick drum, combined with a fast attack and
release, can tighten the rhythm section.
Increase the release time to loosen the feel.
Gate Threshold
Sets and Displays the Threshold of the
Gate for the Selected Channel.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the gate thresh old for the
selected channel. The threshold
determines the level at which the
gate will open. Essentially, all
signals above the threshold setting
are passed through unaffected.
You can set the threshold from 0 to
-56 dB.
