Surface basics – The MIX key
The primary function of the fader control strip MIX keys is to access the routing and levels for the different
mixes, and to assign the DCAs. This is fundamental to mixing with iLive giving you quick access with full
fader or rotary encoder control of every mix. The active MIX determines the function of the fader/encoder
area of the Surface. You can view the mix from the master (all sources to a mix) or from the channel
(sends to all the mixes). When you turn off a MIX key the default main mix (if configured) is automatically
selected. The blue LED indicators and strip LCDs display the current mix status. These keys are also
used to copy or reset mix levels and assignments, and for other functions including the assignment of
channel safes and talkback destinations. Assignment functions require a press and hold operation which
avoids mistakes through leaving the console in a setup mode.
Note: It is important that the operator becomes familiar with the
function of the SEL and MIX keys. These make mixing with iLive
very quick and intuitive once learned.
Note: To avoid mistakes while mixing we recommend that you
return to your main mix after making changes to your Groups,
Auxes, FX sends, Matrix or DCAs. Do this by pressing the currently
active MIX key to turn it off, or selecting the main mix again, or
pressing any MIX key on then off.
The TouchScreen lower status toolbar displays which mix is currently
active.
Three ways to work with the mix:
All sends feeding one mix - Press a master MIX key.
All sends from one channel - Press a channel MIX key.
TouchScreen ROUTING view - Press a channel or master SEL key
while the TouchScreen ROUTING page is active.
