Chapter 18 Song management This chapter explains how to perform song management operations such as copying, deleting, backing up, and restoring songs. About songs ■ Song Organization On the AW2400, your recorded compositions are managed in units called "songs." When you save a song on the hard disk, the audio data, scene memories, and the data for each library are all stored together. By loading a saved song, you can return it to the original condition at any time. You can store as many songs on the internal hard disk as its capacity allows. Songs stored on hard disk are divided into a song file containing all the basic setup information for the song, and WAV files containing the audio data. ■ Song Bit Depth The AW2400 allows the bit depth of individual songs to be set to either 16 or 24 bits. 24-bit songs are capable of providing higher audio quality than 16-bit songs, but the following limitations on the number of simultaneous record/playback tracks apply. Song Bit Depth Max. Simultaneous Max. Simultaneous Record Tracks Play Tracks 16 8 : : 16 bits 1 23 0* 24* 8 4 : : 24 bits 1 11 0* 12* * For mixdown the number of simultaneous record tracks is two, and the number of simultaneous playback tracks is 24 for 16-bit songs, or 12 for 24-bit songs. Only 24-bit audio data can be used in 24-bit songs. 16-bit WAV files cannot be imported from a computer or CDRW drive. Audio data imported from audio CDs, however, will be automatically converted to 24-bit format. In the same way, only 16-bit audio data can be used in 16-bit songs. 18 Song management AW2400 Owner's Manual 165
