GATE (Channel only)
The noise gate provides a full set of controls and
signal metering as you would find on a top grade
outboard processor. A self keyed side chain filter
may be switched in or out. Use the controls or
screen to set the threshold (a signal meter displays
under the control to help you set this quickly),
depth (how much the gate attenuates), hold time
(how long the gate remains open after the signal
drops below the threshold), and dynamics. A
screen histogram displays the gate activity over
time.
INSERT (Channel and Mix)
A physical input and output socket may be
assigned as an insert send and return for a channel
if outboard processing is required. Configure this
by touching the top view INSERT box to open the
INSERT page. Select the sockets (devices) to use
for the send and return and the operating level
(+4dBu or -10dBV).
Note: In most cases it should not be necessary
to insert outboard processing. iLive features
plenty of high quality built-in processing on every
channel and mix output.
Note: Sockets assigned as inserts are not
available for use as channel or mix inputs or
outputs. To reuse the sockets first deassign the
associated inserts.
