4 Check 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”.

5 Press 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.

•To select the [DIGITAL STEREO IN] con- nector as the record source you will need to assign the [DIGITAL STEREO IN] con- nector to an adjacent pair of odd- and even-numbered tracks via the DIGITAL IN field (1.2–15.16). See page 100 for details.

6 Press 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.

7 Press 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.
