When you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, a space will be inserted at the location of the currently selected character underlined , and subsequent characters will move one character backward.

When you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, the currently selected character underlined will be deleted, and subsequent characters will move one character forward. You can use the knobs and keys of the Selected Channel section to directly operate the mix parameters EQ, dynamics, pan, etc. The currently selected channel is indicated in the upper left of the screen.

Pads 1— This adjusts the level of the signal that is sent from that channel to internal effect 1. If the stereo output channel is selected, this adjusts the return level from internal effect 1. This adjusts the level of the signal that is sent from that channel to internal effect 2. If the stereo output channel is selected, this adjusts the return level from internal effect 2. This adjusts the pan of the signal that is sent from that channel to the stereo bus.

If the stereo output channel is selected, this adjusts the balance of the left and right channels. The depth of this change will depend on the library that is recalled. When the AW16G is shipped from the factory, its hard disk contains a demo song. This chapter explains how to play back the demo song while you operate the faders and keys of the front panel.

The following diagram shows a typical example of connections to the AW16G. Connect your mics, instruments, and external devices as shown in this diagram. C The monitor system connected to the output jacks of the AW16G. When you turn on the power of the AW16G, the lastused song will be loaded automatically.

When you turn on the power of the AW16G with the factory settings, a blank song will be loaded, so you can start recording immediately. If you select NO, any changes that you made to the current song since you last saved it will be lost.

This area lists the songs that are saved on the hard disk. The line enclosed by the dotted frame in the center of the list indicates the song that is selected for operations. The highlighted line indicates the song that is currently loaded into the AW16G. These three buttons let you select how the songs in the list will be sorted. A popup window like the following will appear. This window asks you whether you want to save the current song.

It is convenient to display this page when you want to check the level of each track. The demo song uses the Scene function to switch the settings of the mixer. Notice that the level of the corresponding track will change. A channel that is switched off in this page will not be sent to the stereo bus or AUX bus, and will be muted. You may select more than one channel.

The graphic in the display will also indicate this. When you sol a channel in this page, the signals of the remaining channels will be muted, and will no longer be sent to the stereo bus or AUX buses. You can use the Recall Safe function to temporarily prevent scenes from being recalled. The AW16G has a Sound Clip function that lets you record and play back independently of the recorder section.

You can use a sound clip to quickly record and play back your performances on an audio source connected to the AW16G or on the pads. This is an ideal way to capture ideas for a song or arrangement, or to record a simple accompaniment for practicing a part.

This chapter explains how an instrument or mic connected to an input jack can be recorded as a sound clip. The various types of jack are compatible with the following sources. These are XLR-type balanced input jacks. Direct box. These are TRS-type balanced input jacks. Here's how to adjust the input level of the input channel, and make settings so that you can hear the sound from your monitor system via the stereo bus.

Normally you will leave this at the default setting of 0 dB. The current level is shown by the value dB units above the knob. B Stereo bus assign switch. The symbol in the window indicates the location at which the level is detected. Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to close the popup window and return to the previous screen. As you turn the [GAIN] knob toward the right, the level meter in the popup window will move more widely.

However, you will not yet hear anything from your monitor system. For the best audio quality, adjust the level as high as possible without allowing the meter to clip when the loudest volume occurs.

The level settings described above are the basic settings for any type of recording not just for a sound clip. By using the [GAIN] knob to raise the level as far as possible without allowing distortion to occur, you can ensure that the input signal is converted into digital form with the highest possible quality before it is input to the mixer section. The post-fader signal of the stereo output channel can be recorded directly on a sound clip. For playback, the signal will be sent immediately before the stereo output channel fader.

EQ and dynamics cannot be applied to the playback of a sound clip. Adjusts the volume level of the metronome. The value shown above the knob shows the current setting in dB units. Recording and playback in the Recorder section cannot be performed while the CLIP screen is displayed. The time signature and tempo used by the metronome are displayed above the metronome button. The time signature of the metronome is determined by the tempo map setting immediately prior to accessing the CLIP screen.

Please be aware that the setting cannot be edited from this screen. The metronome will begin sounding, and the counter display will advance. This counter is separate from the counter of a conventional song. The display will show S and E symbols to indicate the start point and end point. If you continue recording for longer than 30 seconds, the last 30 seconds of your playing before you stopped recording will be recorded.

However, the counter display during recording will continue to advance. You are free to make this setting before creating a new song, but this cannot be changed once the song has been created. The region from where you began recording to where you stopped recording will play repeatedly. If you record again, the previous data will be overwritten. You will not hear the metronome and pads 1—4 while a sound clip is playing. However, you can still monitor the signals of input channels 1—8.

When you record a sound clip, the previous recording will be lost. Please be aware that the Undo function cannot be used to recover a deleted sound clip. If you use this automatically-loaded song, the procedure described here is not necessary. Next, a popup window will appear, allowing you to specify the items whose settings will be carried over from the current song. For example if you have saved effect settings in a library for the current song and would like to use these settings for the new song as well, you would turn on the LIBRARY button.

With this method, input channels are assigned to tracks in a one-to-one correspondence. This method requires the same number of tracks as the number of input channels you use. However, this method has the advantage that you will be free to adjust the volume, pan stereo position , and tone of each instrument after it has been recorded. This method requires fewer tracks. You will not be able to adjust these independently after recording. The way in which you assign the input signals to tracks will depend on the method you choose.

If you move the cursor to the symbol and press the [ENTER] key, the symbol will be highlighted, and the corresponding input channel will be selected as a recording source. If you move the cursor to the symbol and press the [ENTER] key, the symbol will be highlighted, and the corresponding track will be selected as a recording destination.

If you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, input channels 1—8 will be connected to tracks 1—8. If you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, input channels 1—8 will be connected to tracks 9— This blinking indicates that the tracks can be selected as the recording destination.

In the screen, the symbol for that input channel will be highlighted. The selected input channel and track will be connected internally. Check that the increase in level after passing through EQ and dynamics does not cause the signal to clip.

Normally when recording, you do not monitor the input channel signal before it is recorded, but rather the signal after passing through the recorder, via the track channel.

This lets you monitor the signal that is actually being recorded, and also lets you adjust the volume and tone of the monitor signal without affecting the signal that is being recorded. If the track channel fader for the recording-destina- tion track is set to the 0 dB position, the monitor level during recording will be the same as the playback level after recording.

The pan setting of an input channel will have no effect if that input channel is assigned to a track by direct recording. In the screen, the symbol for the corresponding input channel will be highlighted, and a line will appear, indicating that this channel is connected to the bus. To cancel all record-sources and record-destina- tions, move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key. For an input channel that is selected as a record-source, the assignment to the stereo bus will automatically be turned off, and connections will be made so that the signal can be monitored via the track channel.

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. The screen will display lines to indicate how the signals are connected to the track s. 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.

We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. However by changing an internal setting, you can use the faders to control the input levels of the input channels.

Before you begin recording, set the tempo and volume of the metronome. If you will not be using the metronome while recording, you can skip the following procedure.

Adjusts the metronome volume level. The current value is shown above the knob in dB units. If you want to change the tempo or time signature, press the [STOP] key to stop playback, and perform the following procedure. These are the events recorded in the tempo map. In the track view within the screen, the vertical line that indicates the current location will advance toward the right.

When two channels are paired, most of their parameters will be linked, so that operating one of the channels will cause the same setting to occur on the other channel as well. This is convenient when you are recording a stereo audio source, or when you want to play back two bus-recorded tracks as a single stereo track. While channels are paired, the evennumbered fader has no effect. In the case of paired channels, setting the pan to far left or far right will produce nominal level.

The levels before and after passing through Pan will be the same. In the case of paired channels, setting the pan to center will produce nominal level. The input library is a library of settings used to apply internal effects, EQ, or dynamics settings to the input signal when you want to record the processed signal. In this popup window, you can select whether the internal effect 1 or 2 will be patched to the input channel.

For this reason, you can use the internal effects on a maximum of two channels. This is the library list. The line surrounded by a dotted line in the middle of the list is the data that is selected for loading. The data of the selected library will be loaded, and the internal effect, EQ or speaker simulator , and dynamics effect will be applied to the input signal. Welcome to ManualMachine.

Chapter 4 Recording to a sound clip The AW16G has a Sound Clip function that lets you record and play back independently of the recorder section.

Connecting your instrument or mic. In the default settings of the AW16G turning the [DYN] knob will adjust all parameters of the dynamic processor simultaneously. While playing the song, cursor to the send knob of the track that you want to send to the first effects unit, and then use the jog wheel to adjust the send level for each of the tracks.

If the levels are significantly below the 0 dB mark you should readjust the levels closer to the 0 dB mark. Page 24 NOTE: If an error message appears indicating that there is no stereo track you may need to save the song before the AW16G will recognize the stereo track. The analog signal is sampled every few milliseconds and its level is quantized into a digital word. The larger the digital word, the more accurate the representation of the analog value.

Page Dynamics Parameters Appendix Dynamics Parameters Dynamics processors are generally used to correct or control signal levels. However, you can also use them creatively to shape the vol- ume envelope of a sound. The AW16G features comprehensive dynamics processors for all the input channels, tape returns, and the bus and stereo outputs.

By attenuating the signal below the threshold, the expander reduces low-level noise and effectively increases the dynamic range of the recorded material.
