Solo Bus
StudioLive RM mixers feature an independent Solo bus. This feature is extremely
useful in setting levels for monitor mixes, dialing in dynamics processing on
each channel, and fixing issues during a live show without interrupting the
main mix. The Solo bus has three different modes: AFL (default), PFL, and SIP.
AFL (After-Fader Listen) sends the channel or subgroup signal to the
Solo bus post-fader so that you can control the level of the soloed
signal with the fader. This is the StudioLive RM’s default setting.
PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) sends the channel or subgroup signal to the Solo bus
before it reaches the fader so the fader does not affect the soloed signal.
SIP (Solo In Place) is also known as “destructive solo.” When channels are soloed
in this mode, every channel that isn’t soloed will be muted, and only the soloed
channels will be sent to their assigned outputs. While useful in dialing in
dynamics processing during soundcheck, this mode is dangerous during a live
show. We recommend that this mode be turned off when mixing live events.
Power User Tip:
When SIP is engaged, channel mutes will only apply to the subgroup
and main bus assignments. SIP does not mute input channels in aux bus mixes.
Because of this, you can use SIP to dial in a mix in the mains without disturbing the
musicians’ last-minute rehearsal onstage. Destructive soloing is also a great way to
tune each channel’s dynamics individually in live-mixing situations or do surgical
editing in the studio. SIP mode mutes every channel and bus that is not soloed in
the Main bus (that is, if Channel 3 is soloed, you will only hear Channel 3 in your
mains). This makes a great fine-tuning tool but it can quickly destroy a live mix. We
highly recommend that you drop out of this mode once the show has started.
Clear will disengage all active solos on the mixer.
Edit will bring up the Solo bus options in the touchscreen.
Solo Modes
Latch is the default Solo mode. When Latch Solo mode is active,
you can solo multiple channels and buses at once.
Radio mode allows you to solo only one channel or bus at a time.
CR is designed for studio-style soloing. Soloing any channel while in this
mode will automatically patch the Solo bus to the Main Mix bus and
disable any other buses that are currently engaged in the Solo bus. While
in CR Solo mode, you can solo multiple channels and buses at once but
you can only patch one input or bus to the monitor bus at a time.
