AW1600 Owner’s Manual

With this method, you can send multiple input channels to the L/R bus, and assign the

mixed signal to one or two tracks. This method requires fewer tracks. However, you will

need to decide on the final volume, pan, and tone of each instrument at the time of

recording. (You will not be able to adjust these independently after recording.)
