Chapter5—Recording on the AW4416
— Operation Guide 79
When you switch mixing layers, the faders will move instantly to new positions.
Be careful not to place objects near the faders.
The “mixing layer” is the group of channels controlled by the top panel [ON]
keys 1–16, [SEL] keys 1–16, and faders 1–16. The AW4416 has the following
three mixing layers:
1 Input channels 1–16
B Input channels 17–24 + return channels
C Monitor channels
Even when you switch to a different mixing layer, the fader locations and [ON]
key settings of the previous mixing layer are remembered, and will return when
that mixing layer is selected once again.
4. Make sure that [ON] keys 1/2 are turned on, and raise faders 1/2 to the
0 dB position.
5. While playing your instrument, watch the level meters displayed in the
screen and adjust the input level of inputs 1/2.
When the AW4416 is in the initial state, the input jacks are patched to input
channels as follows. As you can see from this diagram, the rhythm machine (or
drum mics) connected to INPUT jacks 1/2 are patched to input channels 1/2.
Now raise the faders of input channels 1/2 and check that the signals are being
input. If the level meters reach the “CLIP” position, you should lower [GAIN]
controls 1/2.
Tip!
The patching of the input jacks and input channels can be changed freely. For
details refer to page 133.
