Exchanging Song Data With Other AW-series Audio Workstations Exchanging Song Data With Other AW-series Audio Workstations You can back up an AW2400 song in a format that is compatible with the other AW-series (AW4416/AW2816/AW1600/AW16G). Conversely, a song that was backed up by the other AWseries can be restored into the AW2400. NOTE • Only the audio data recorded in a song can be exchanged with the other AW-series workstations. Mix parameters, libraries, and system data cannot be backed-up/restored in this way. Song management ■ Backing up an AW2400 song in a format compatible with the other AW-series If you turn on the AW2816 button in the Backup page of the SONG screen, the data will be saved in the AW2816 backup file format. An AW2816 backup file can be restored into the other AW-series (version 2.0 or later for AW4416). For the procedure, refer to "Backing up songs," earlier in this manual. NOTE • Backup in the AW2816 backup file format is limited to one song at a time. • When you perform a backup in the AW2816 backup file format, data other than the audio tracks will not be backed up. All virtual tracks for tracks 1-16 are backup up. Tracks 17-24 are not backed up. Only the current track data for stereo track is backed up. Only 44.1kHz/16-bit songs are supported. • Depending on the data size, some songs can't be saved as AW2816 backup files. If this problem occurs use the Optimize function to reduce the data size. 18 ■ Restoring songs from other AW-series workstations 1 Insert the CD-R/RW media containing songs from other AW-series workstations to be restored into the AW2400. 2 Call the SONG screen Restore page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [SONG] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F4] key after pressing the [SONG] key. 3 Make sure that the cursor is located at the READ CD INFO button, and press the [ENTER] key. Information will be read from the inserted CD-R/RW media. 4 Make sure the cursor is in the list area, use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the song you want to restore, then press the [ENTER] key. A "●" mark will appear for songs selected to be restored. NOTE • The list will show all the songs that were backed up to CD-R/ RW media, but you can execute the restore operation only for 44.1 kHz/16-bit songs. 5 Repeat step 4 to select all of the other AWseries songs that you want to restore. 6 Move the cursor to the RESTORE button and press the [ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you to confirm the operation. 7 Move the cursor to the OK button if you want to execute the restore operation, and press the [ENTER] key. The restore operation will begin. While the song data is being loaded, a popup window will indicate the progress. 180 AW2400 Owner's Manual
