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.
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 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.
4Check 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”.
5Press 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.
6Repeatedly 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.
7Use the same procedure to specify other
input channels as recording sources as
required.

• 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.

•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.
