This section describes the patching procedure to assign
instruments and/or microphones connected to [MIC/LINE
INPUT] jacks 1–8 to independent tracks for direct record-
ing.
1Lower the [STEREO] fader to the – ∞ posi-
tion.
2Referring to “Connection and Setup” on
page 37, connect your instruments and/or
microphones and set up the input levels.
3Call the RECORD screen Direct page by
either pressing the Quick Navigate section
[RECORD] key as many times as necessary,
or by pressing the [F1] key after pressing
the [RECORD] key.
Input channel signals can be directly patched to the
recorder’s tracks via the RECORD screen Direct page.
When this page is called the [INPUT SEL] keys in the
upper area of the top panel will flash red.
4Check that “AD1–8” appears in the input
select field on the left side of the page.
Input channels 1–8 or 9–16 can be selected as the
input source via the input select field. When “AD1–8”
is showing the AW2400’s AD inputs ([MIC/LINE
INPUT] jacks 1–8) are selected as the input source. If
a different input source is selected move the cursor to
the input select field and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or
[INC]/[DEC] keys to select “AD1–8”.
5Press the [INPUT SEL] key for the input
channel to which your instrument/micro-
phone is connected.
The corresponding [INPUT SEL] key will light red,
and the remaining [INPUT SEL] keys will go dark.
If, for example, you have selected input channel 1 as
your record source the top panel keys will appear as
follows.
The display will appear as shown here.
6Press the Layer section [TRACK 1-12] key
so that its indicator lights.
This selects the TRACK 1-12 mixing layer so you can
use [ON] keys 1–12, [SEL] keys 1–12, and faders 1–
12 to operate track channels 1–12. At this point faders
1–12 will move to the current level settings for track
channels 1–12.
7Press the [SEL] key of the track channel on
which you want to record.
The selected input channel and track will be connected
internally. At this time, only the selected [INPUT
SEL] key and [SEL] key will be flashing red. The
flashing [SEL] key indicates that the corresponding
track is in record-ready mode.
If, for example, you have patched input channel 1 to
track 1 the top panel keys will appear as follows.
