Recording
To record an input route it to the
Record Bus
and remove it from the
MIX
bus. Select
RDY
on the Master
Control Panel and press
SEL
to record arm the track on the DAW that you wish to record on. Pan the input
channel if necessary. Provided you have Auto Input selected you should see the input signal on the DAW
meters.
The channel equalizer can be used to process the input before recording it, and the assignable dynamics can be
routed to either the input channel or the Record bus if dynamics processing is needed.
Creating a Monitor Mix
If you are in Stop you will hear the input to channels in ready via the DAW
and
via the Record bus if you select
REC
on the Monitor Control Panel. In Play you will hear the input signal via the Record Bus and playback from
the DAW track. In Record you will hear the input signal via the Record Bus
and
via the DAW track. To remove
this double monitoring either turn off
REC
on the monitor source selector or cut the DAW channel to remove it
from the DAW mix.
Creating Foldback Mixes
Foldback mixes can be quickly created using the Foldback Mixer section in the AWS 900+ SE centre section.
Select
MIX
and
EXT B
on the Mix 2 section and
REC
on the Mix 1 section, then use the
Mix 1
and
Mix 2
level
controls to create a foldback mix. More complex mixes can be created using the
CUE ST A
bus in place of the
Record bus.
Another independent mix can be generated using Foldback Mixer B and the
CUE ST B
bus.
Using the FX Returns
Using the four FX send busses, external FX processing such as reverbs and delays, can be used. FX unit
outputs can be returned back into the AWS 900+ SE via the four Stereo Return inputs in the console centre
section. These can be routed to either of the foldback mixers, and to the record and mix busses.
Recording To Multiple Tracks
In situations that require more than a pair of tracks to be recorded simultaneously the eight track busses can be
used to generate mixes or the channel direct outputs can be used to record single sources.
Recording With a Split Desk
Selecting
CHANNEL
on the Master Control Panel while in DAW Focus will allow you to control the input levels
from the channel rotary encoders and the DAW mix from the channel faders. Pushing the Channel Rotary
Encoder will swap the encoder and fader, which allows some faders to control input level and others to control
the DAW monitor mix, mimicking the operation of a split console.
Recording with a 5.1 Monitor Mix
If you wish to use a 5.1 monitor mix then the process of recording is much as described above, the only
differences being that you should simultaneously produce a stereo mix from the DAW for foldback purposes and
connect this to External source selector B. The
MON
source on the Foldback mixer section is fed by a 5-2
folddown of the main monitor busses, so this could also be used instead but means you have less control over
the mix going to the foldback outputs.
