Assigning input signals to tracks (Bus recording) 6 As necessary, use the same procedure to specify other input channels as recordingsources. 7 Press the [TRACK SEL] key(s) for the record-destination track(s). You can select up to two tracks as the record-destination. If you select track 1, 3, 5, or 7, the signal will be connected to bus L. If you select track 2, 4, 6, or 8, the signal will be connected to bus R. If you select tracks 9/ 10-15/16, odd-numbered tracks will be connected to bus L, and even-numbered tracks will be connected to bus R. 5 The screen will display lines to indicate how the signals are connected to the track(s). 11 To set the pan of each input channel, use the [INPUT SEL] key to select a channel, and turn the [PAN/BAL] knob of the Selected Channel section. When you use bus recording, it will not be possible to adjust the pan or volume balance for individual instruments after they have been recorded on the track(s). This means that you must finalize the pan and volume balance when you send the signals from the input channels to the L/R bus. 12 To adjust the volume balance of each input channel, repeatedly press the [VIEW] key in the Selected Channel section to access the FADER page. When you want to set the volume balance of the input channels, it is convenient to use the FADER page of the VIEW screen. Here you can adjust the on/off status and input levels for the input channels, pad channels, and track channels - all in one page. Track recording HINT • EQ and dynamics settings will be flat for a track channel whose track has been selected as a record-destination. • If a single track is selected, the pan of the track channel will be centered. If a paired track (→ p. 49) is selected, the oddnumbered/even-numbered track channels will be panned to left and right respectively. • The connection will be cancelled if you once again press the [TRACK SEL] key of a currently selected track. NOTE • The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as "M" (mute), but you can still record to muted tracks. • Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 8 play tracks (→ p. 143), tracks 9 - 16 are muted and will not play back. • The bit depth of a song can be verified via the SONG screen LIST page. 8 For each input channel to which you connected an instrument or mic, press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key to access the INPUT SETTING popup window, and use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the input level of the signal. For details on adjusting the input level, refer to "Recording to a sound clip" (→ p. 33). 9 Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB position. 10 Raise the track channel fader for the record-destination track, so that the monitor level is appropriate. Now you will be able to monitor the signal that is being sent to the track(s) via the L/R bus. 13 While producing sound on your instruments, use the [INPUT SEL] keys or CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to move the cursor to the input channel that you want to control, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the volume balance. NOTE • We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. This will degrade the S/N ratio, and may cause the sound to distort. HINT • You can also use the INPUT LEVEL knob in the INPUT SETTING popup window to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. • Normally, the panel faders are dedicated to the track channels. However by changing an internal setting, you can use the faders to control the input levels of the input channels. (→ p. 169) 46 AW1600 Owner's Manual

Assigning input signals to tracks (Bus recording)

Track recording

As necessary, use the same procedure to

specify other input channels as recording-

sources.

Press the [TRACK SEL] key(s) for the

record-destination track(s).

You can select up to two tracks as the record-destina-

tion.

If you select track 1, 3, 5, or 7, the signal will be con-

nected to bus L. If you select track 2, 4, 6, or 8, the sig-

nal will be connected to bus R. If you select tracks 9/

10–15/16, odd-numbered tracks will be connected to

bus L, and even-numbered tracks will be connected to

bus R.

The screen will display lines to indicate how the sig-

nals are connected to the track(s).

For each input channel to which you con-

nected an instrument or mic, press and

hold the [INPUT SEL] key to access the

INPUT SETTING popup window, and use

the [GAIN] knob to adjust the input level of

the signal.

For details on adjusting the input level, refer to

“Recording to a sound clip” (

→

p. 33).

Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB posi-

tion.

Raise the track channel fader for the

record-destination track, so that the moni-

tor level is appropriate.

Now you will be able to monitor the signal that is

being sent to the track(s) via the L/R bus.

To set the pan of each input channel, use

the [INPUT SEL] key to select a channel,

and turn the [PAN/BAL] knob of the

Selected Channel section.

When you use bus recording, it will not be possible to

adjust the pan or volume balance for individual instru-

ments after they have been recorded on the track(s).

This means that you must ﬁnalize the pan and volume

balance when you send the signals from the input

channels to the L/R bus.

To adjust the volume balance of each input

channel, repeatedly press the [VIEW] key in

the Selected Channel section to access the

FADER page.

When you want to set the volume balance of the input

channels, it is convenient to use the FADER page of

the VIEW screen. Here you can adjust the on/off status

and input levels for the input channels, pad channels,

and track channels — all in one page.

While producing sound on your instru-

ments, use the [INPUT SEL] keys or CUR-

SOR [

]/[

] keys to move the cursor to the

input channel that you want to control, and

turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the vol-

ume balance.

•

EQ and dynamics settings will be ﬂat for a track channel

whose track has been selected as a record-destination.

•

If a single track is selected, the pan of the track channel will

be centered. If a paired track (

→

p. 49) is selected, the odd-

numbered/even-numbered track channels will be panned to

left and right respectively.

•

The connection will be cancelled if you once again press the

[TRACK SEL] key of a currently selected track.

HINT

•

The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as “M”

(mute), but you can still record to muted tracks.

•

Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 8 play tracks (

→

p. 143), tracks 9 – 16 are muted and will not play back.

•

The bit depth of a song can be veriﬁed via the SONG screen

LIST page.

NOTE

•

We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to adjust

the volume balance of the input channels. This will degrade

the S/N ratio, and may cause the sound to distort.

NOTE

•

You can also use the INPUT LEVEL knob in the INPUT SET-

TING popup window to adjust the volume balance of the input

channels.

•

Normally, the panel faders are dedicated to the track chan-

nels. However by changing an internal setting, you can use

the faders to control the input levels of the input channels. (
