Channel and Mix processing
iLive provides plenty of signal processing for its input channels, effects returns, mix masters and up to 8
internal FX devices. This replaces the large racks of outboard equipment that typically accompany the
traditional analogue mixing system. iLive has a huge amount of DSP power to make its processing
available to all channels at all times. You do not need to allocate processing from a limited resource of
DSP. The processing is instantly accessible on selecting a channel or mix, with dedicated analogue style
controls and alternative TouchScreen control.
