Chapter5—Recording on the AW4416

Tip!

For example if the SOLO SAFE CHANNEL section RTN1/RTN2 buttons are on, the Solo function will not affect return channels 1/2. This allows you to monitor the soloed channel with an effect such as reverb still applied.

5.To use the Solo function, play back the recorder and press the [SOLO] key.

The [SOLO] key and [ON] keys 1–16 will blink.

6.Press the MIXING LAYER section [MONI] key, and press the [ON] key for the monitor channel corresponding to the track you wish to monitor.

If you selected LAST SOLO in step 3, only the channel whose [ON] key was last pressed will be monitored. If you selected MIX SOLO, all channels selected by their [ON] key will be monitored.

At this time, all [ON] keys 1–16 other than the selected key(s) will go dark.

7.To defeat the Solo function, press the [SOLO] key once again.

Tip!

Solo operations using the [ON] keys are also linked for paired channels.
