Audio tracks are physical recording areas used to record
and play back audio data.
The AW2400 lets you use 24 audio tracks. In a 16-bit song
you can play back up to 24 tracks simultaneously, and in a
24-bit song you can play back up to 12 tracks simulta-
neously. However, the number of tracks that can actually
be played back simultaneously is limited by the number of
tracks that are currently in record-ready mode. Please note
that putting more tracks in record-ready mode will forc-
ibly mute a corresponding number of playback tracks. The
following table shows the number of tracks that can be
simultaneously recorded/played for a 16-bit or 24-bit
song.
*For mixdown the number of simultaneous record tracks is two, and the
number of simultaneous playback tracks is 24 for 16-bit songs, or 12
for 24-bit songs.
For example in a 16-bit song, each track you place in
record-ready mode will decrease the number of simulta-
neously-playable tracks by one. (Muting will begin with
higher-numbered tracks.) If you’ve placed the maximum
of sixteen tracks in record-ready mode, a maximum of
eight tracks can be played back simultaneously. If you
want to return a muted track to playable condition, you
must first reduce the number of tracks that are in record-
ready mode, and then defeat muting on the track you want
to play back.
In the TRACK screen View page you can view all tracks
to see whether they contain data, and switch muting on/off
for each track.
To call this page press the Work Navigate section
[TRACK] key as many times as necessary, or press the
[F1] key after pressing the [TRACK] key.
This page contains the following items.
