AW1600 Owner’s Manual
“Nudge” is a function that repeatedly plays a short region before or after the current location. By
using the Nudge function, you can find a precise location while listening to the playback. This is
useful when you need to specify a location precisely, such as when specifying the auto punch-in/
out points, or when editing the contents of a track.

to find.

will be turned on. A fixed region (referred to as the
“nudge time”) starting at the current location will play
repeatedly.

move the current location backward, turn
the [DATA/JOG] dial toward the left.
If time display is selected as the counter display for-

backward in millisecond units. If time code display is
selected, you can move in sub-frame units.
