Assigning input signals to tracks (Mixed recording)

Use the following procedure to set up the patching so you can mix and record the signals from multiple instruments/ mics connected to [MIC/LINE INPUT] jacks 1–8 to one or more tracks.

HINT

• Refer to page 102 for more details on patching for mixed record-

ing.

1 Lower the [STEREO] fader to the –∞posi-

tion.

2 Referring to “Connection and Setup” on

page 37, connect your instruments and/or

microphones and set up the input levels.

5 Press the [INPUT SEL] key for the input channel to which your instrument/micro- phone is connected.

The currently selected [INPUT SEL] key will light orange, and that input channel will be selected for operation.

The symbol for the correspond- ing input channel will be high- lighted in the screen, and a line will appear indicating that this channel is connected to the bus.

6 Repeatedly press the same [INPUT SEL] key to select the bus to which you want to send the signal from that input channel.

Each time you press the [INPUT SEL] key the screen will change as follows.

3 Call the RECORD screen Mixed page by

either pressing the Quick Navigate section

[RECORD] key as many times as necessary,

or by pressing the [F2] key after pressing

the [RECORD] key.

Via the RECORD screen Mixed page you can patch

multiple input channels to either of the AW2400’s ste-

reo buses (Bus1 and Bus2), allowing mixed signals to

be assigned to up to four tracks.

4 Check that “AD1–8” appears in the input select field on the left side of the page. 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”.

HINT

•Input channels that are patched to Bus1 or Bus2 will be auto- matically disconnected from the stereo bus and their signal will not be output via the [STEREO OUT] or [MONITOR OUT] jacks (the signals being recorded can be monitored via the track channel being recorded).

•When an input is disconnected from Bus1 or Bus2, that input is automatically re-patched to the stereo bus.

•You can also switch to Bus1/Bus2 by moving the cursor to the

symbol of the desired input channel and pressing the [ENTER] key.

7 Use the same procedure to specify other input channels as recording sources as required.

NOTE

•To select the [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector as the record source you will need to assign the [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector to an adjacent pair of odd- and even-numbered tracks via the DIGITAL IN field (1.2–15.16). See page 102 for details.
