All mixers come with Fat Channel sound presets , which are meant as help to get to know the Fat Channel options. It's no "must" to load presets, but they can be useful. They will work for you, or not. Check the screenshot where to find the presets. If it is the case that there is nothing to find, the rack mixer will need a factory reset.

Here's a step by step which may be useful:

1. Reset the mixer’s current settings to default: In UC click on the ‘files’ button above the GEQ button, reset the current project, wait a few seconds, then reset the current scene. Then click on ‘X’ to return UC to normal mixer view. Now you have a clean sheet to work from.

2. Set up you microphone channel: Connect the microphone to mixer input 1. In UC select ‘Main’ (if the button isn’t highlighted already) and select Channel 1 (by clicking below the Ch.1 fader). Then click the presets button below the FX button. Roll down the list of presets until you find ‘Male 1’… ‘Female 3’. You can try out any of these but for now select ’Female 1’ and click on ‘Recall’. Then click the presets button again to return UC to normal mixer view.

3. Set the input gain for Channel 1: In UC click on ‘Compressor’ (near the top of the UC window) to bring the channel 1 compressor settings in view. Sing into the microphone and at the same time turn up the Pre knob (left of the HPF knob). Set Pre to where normal singing level stays below the blue dot on the compressor graph and loud singing goes above the blue dot. You can always change this Pre gain to your liking.

4. Set the output level to your speakers: Connect your QSC speakers to the main outputs of the mixer. Set gain on the QSCs low (e.g. 2 clicks above minimum). In UC move the fader of channel 1 up to the thin line (0.00dB). Also move the Main fader (right side of the UC window) up to the thin line. Now adjust gain on your QSC speakers to the level you prefer when you sing into the microphone. You can fine-adjust the level with the faders in UC.

5. Select an effect: In UC click the FX button. This will show you the effect selected for FX A, probably Digital XL Reverb with default setting "Van”. Choose a more appropriate default setting, e.g. ’Tight Room’. Then click the FX button again to return UC to normal mixer view.

6. Adjust the effect: In UC click the ‘FX A’ button (the faders turn purple). Move the purple channel 1 fader up to the thin line. Also move the purple FX A fader to the thin line. Then sing into the microphone. You probably want to adjust the FX A fader down a bit for a more pleasant amount of effect. You can also choose another effect or another preset for FX A.

7. Improve the effect in the mix (optional): In UC click the ‘FX A’ button (the faders turn purple). Then highlight the FX A fader by clicking below it (UC switches to the settings for the FX A channel). Select the Equalizer and turn it on (with the button left of “Equalizer”). Then set an EQ curve similar to the one in this picture (does not need to be exact). This is filtering the low and high frequencies for a more pleasant mix of microphone and effect.

That should be it. See how far you get with these settings and let us know if you need further hints

First, I wanna give special thanks to Wahlerstudio n Switchback for the valuable info n instruction. I will go from here n try my best to follow your instruction. It’s so helpful n thank you so much again.

Hi, I just checked n followed ur instruction. Thing is, I don’t have any of the presets. How can I install them?

Oops… found it .. it’s under vocal settting

You are looking at the selection "Other", which indeed might have no preset, Check the other selections or "All". If there is nothing, do the " Mute All Button Reset".
