Convenient functions for mixdown/bounce Using the Solo function Solo is a function that lets you monitor only a specific channel. The AW2400 provides a versatile Solo function that lets you make Solo settings that are best for your situation. 1 Call the MONITOR screen Solo page by either pressing the Quick Navigate section [MONITOR] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F4] key after pressing the [MONITOR] key. This page contains the following items. A B C 8 Mixdown and bounce operations 1 SEL MODE field This selects how you will select the signal(s) to be monitored when the Solo function is on. B SOLO MODE field This selects the mode in which the Solo function will operate. C SOLO SAFE CHANNEL field Here you can select channels that will be excluded from the Solo function if MIXDOWN SOLO mode is selected in the SOLO MODE field. 2 In the SEL MODE field, choose the way in which the signal(s) to be monitored will be selected when the Solo function is on. You can turn on one or the other of the following buttons. • LAST SOLO button If this button is on, you will be monitoring only the single channel whose [ON] key was last pressed. • MIX SOLO button If this button is on, you will be monitoring all channels whose [ON] key was pressed after enabling the Solo function. 3 Use the SOLO MODE field to choose the operating mode for the Solo function. You can turn on one or the other of the following buttons. • RECORDING SOLO button If this button is on, the soloed signal(s) will be sent via the dedicated Solo bus and output from the [MONITOR OUT] jacks and [PHONES] jack. This will not affect the signals that are being output from the stereo bus or Bus 1/Bus 2. With this setting, even channels that are not assigned to the stereo bus or Bus B/bus 2, or channels whose [ON] key is off, can be monitored from the [MONITOR OUT] jacks or [PHONES] jack. This setting is convenient when you want to monitor only specific channels without affecting the recorded content while recording tracks or during mixdown. • MIXDOWN SOLO button If this button is on, only the soloed signal(s) will be sent via the stereo bus and output from the [STEREO OUT] jacks, [MONITOR OUT] jacks, and [PHONES] jack; other channels will be muted. With this setting, you won't be able to monitor channels that are not assigned to the stereo bus, or channels whose [ON] key is turned off. This setting is convenient when you want everything except for the specified channel(s) to be muted. 4 If you selected RECORDING SOLO mode in step 3, use the SOLO MODE field to select the point from which the soloed signal will be sent. Use the following two buttons of the SOLO MODE field to select the send point. • PRE FADER button If this button is on, the pre-fader signal will be sent to the Solo bus. In this case, the fader and pan settings of each channel will be ignored, and the signal that is output from the [MONITOR OUT] jacks and the [PHONES] jack will be monaural. • AFTER PAN button If this button is on, the post-fader post-pan signal will be sent to the Solo bus. In this case, the fader and pan setting of each channel will affect the signal that is sent from the [MONITOR OUT] jacks and the [PHONES] jack. HINT • If RECORDING SOLO mode is selected, you can turn the SOLO MODE field's TRIM knob to adjust the signal level sent to the Solo bus. 84 AW2400 Owner's Manual
