Let’s record on the AW2816

Operation section

While producing sound on your instru-
ment, watch the level meters in the screen
to see the input levels for input channels 1/
2.
When the AW2816 is in the default state, the
input signals of the INPUT 1–8 jacks are assigned
to input channels 1–8 respectively, as shown in
the following diagram. This means that the sig-
nals from the rhythm machine (drum recording
mics) connected to the INPUT 1/2 jacks are con-
nected to input channels 1/2.
For this example, raise the faders of input chan-
nels 1/2 to the 0 dB position, and watch the
meters in the HOME screen IN/Rtn/MON page to
verify that the signals are being input.
Tip!
• If the level meters for input channels 1/2 reach the
“OVER” position, check whether faders 1/2 are at
the 0 dB position, and then lower [GAIN] controls
1/2.
• The type of signal assigned to input channels 1–8
can be changed if necessary. For details refer to
page 71.
Pairing two channels
The AW2816 allows adjacent odd-numbered → even-
numbered input channels or monitor channels to be
specified as a stereo pair. When two channels are
paired, their mix parameters will be linked, with the
exception of phase, pan, and effect insert. When
inputting a stereo source, it is convenient to pair the
input channels.
1
To assign input channels 1/2 as a stereo
pair, hold down [SEL] key 1 and press [SEL]
key 2.
When you simultaneously press two adjacent
odd-numbered → even-numbered [SEL] keys, a
CHANNEL PAIRING popup window will appear,
allowing you to specify how pairing will occur.
2
Move the cursor to one of the following
buttons.
• INPUT x→y (x=odd number, y=even number)
The parameters of the odd-numbered channel
will be copied to the even-numbered channel.
• INPUT y→x (x=odd number, y=even number)
The parameters of the even-numbered channel
will be copied to the odd-numbered channel.
• RESET BOTH
The parameters of both channels will be reset to
the default values.
3
When you have selected the pairing
method, press the [ENTER] key.
The two channels will be paired.
Tip!
• If you select RESET BOTH, faders 1/2 will move
down to the -infinity position. Raise them back to
0 dB.
• To cancel pairing, hold down one of the [SEL] keys
and press the other [SEL] key to display a popup
window that will ask whether you really want to
cancel pairing. Move the cursor to the OK button
and press the [ENTER] key.
• Pairing can also be set/cancelled in the PAN screen
Pair page (
→
P.295).
When channels are paired, you must operate only one
of the faders of the pair. If you attempt to move both
faders simultaneously, the motors will be strained,
causing malfunctions.
