Patching and signal flow

This chapter explains patching and channel signal flow.

Input signal patching

To record a mic or instrument connected to the AW2400, you can use either of two recording methods; Direct Recording or Mixed Recording. The patching method will depend on the record- ing method you use.

■Direct Recording

With this method only one input channel is assigned to each recorder track. Although direct recording requires the same number of tracks as the number of input channels you use, it has the advantage that you will be free to adjust the volume, pan (stereo position), and EQ of each track after it has been recorded.

Patching for Direct Recording

This section explains how to patch the signals of input channels to tracks when you’re using the Direct Recording method.

1 Call 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 11 the [RECORD] key.

■Mixed Recording

With this method, you can send multiple input channels to Bus 1 or Bus 2, and assign the mixed signal to one through four tracks. Mixed recording requires fewer tracks, but you will need to decide on the final volume, pan, and tone of each instrument at the time of recording (you will not be able to adjust these parameters independently after recording.)
