Marker number

Except for the Start/End points, the displayed location of the locate points will differ depending on the currently selected counter display type (Time, Time Code, Measure). The Start point and End point are always displayed as time code, regardless of the currently selected display method.

The automix of the AW4416 operates according to the absolute time of the song. Be aware that if you change the start point after recording events in the automix, the song will no longer be synchronized with the automix.

2.Use the CURSOR []/[]/[ ]/[ ] keys to move the cursor, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the location of each locate point.

When you change the Start point, the absolute time zero of the song will change. For example if you change the Start point to “00:00:05:00.00,” the location five seconds after the beginning of the song will be specified as absolute time zero. (If you press the [RTZ] key when absolute time is displayed, you will move to this point.)

The smallest unit of adjustment will be a “millisecond” if time (SECOND) is selected as the counter display method, “sub-frame” if time code display (TIME CODE) is selected, or “beats” if measure display (MEASURE) is selected.

When adjusting the location of a marker, it is not possible to move the marker beyond the preceding or following marker.
