Connecting an MD recorder
By connecting an MD recorder to the AW16G’s DIGITAL
STEREO IN or DIGITAL STEREO OUT jack, you can mix-
down to the MD recorder while keeping the signal in the
digital domain, or record an audio signal from the MD
recorder into the AW16G.
Mixing down to an MD recorder
Here’s how you can connect an MD recorder to the
AW16G’s DIGITAL STEREO OUT jack and mix down.
The DIGITAL STEREO OUT jack always outputs the same
signal as is recorded on the stereo track. This means that
the procedure is essentially the same as for normal mix-
down.
1
Lower the [STEREO] fader to the –
∞
position.
2
As shown in the diagram below, use an opti-
cal cable to connect the AW16G to your MD
recorder.
3
Use the Quick Navigation section [RECORD]
key to access the MIXDOWN page of the
RECORD screen, and select the channels that
you want to send to the stereo bus.
4
Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB position,
and while you play back the song, adjust the
level, pan, EQ, and dynamics for each track
channel.
If desired, you can also use the mastering library.
5
When you have finished adjusting the sound
and the levels, put your MD recorder in
record mode, then play the AW16G from the
beginning and perform the mixdown.
You do not need to turn on the REC button in the
MIXDOWN page at this time.
6
When you have finished the mixdown, stop
the AW16G and your MD recorder.
