Rewind to the beginning of the song. Then
hold down the REC [ ] key of the trans-
port section and press the PLAY [
] key.
Recording on the stereo track will begin.
7
When recording ends, press the STOP [
]
key.
8
To hear the stereo track that was recorded,
press the RECORDER section keys [TRACK]
→
[F3].
The TRACK screen Stereo page will appear, in
which you can play back or erase the stereo
track. With the default settings of the AW2816,
the M (Mute) button in the upper left of the
screen is turned on, so that the stereo track is
muted.
9
Move the cursor to the M (Mute) button,
and press the [ENTER] key.
Muting of the stereo track will be disabled, and it
can now be played.
At this time, the stereo track will automatically
be assigned to monitor channels 1/2, and the
other monitor channels will be muted. If you play
back the song now, you can monitor the stereo
track via monitor channels 1/2
→
stereo bus.
However if you play back with the AW2816 in
this state, the playback sound will be affected by
the settings (pan, EQ, dynamics processor) of
monitor channels 1/2 and the stereo output chan-
nel, meaning that you may not be monitoring the
“flat” sound. For this reason, we will monitor the
stereo track by sending it directly to the MONI-
TOR OUT jacks/PHONES jack.
10
In the level meter/counter section, turn on
the TRACK [CUE] key.
The TRACK [CUE] key is used to send the signal
of the desired track directly to the MONITOR
OUT jacks/PHONES jack.
Tip!
If you press the TRACK [CUE] button when stereo
track muting is disabled, the TRACK [CUE] key will
blink and the REC TRACK SELECT [ST] key will blink
red. This indicates that only the stereo track can be
selected as the signal for monitoring.
11
Press the REC TRACK SELECT [ST] key.
The blinking TRACK [CUE] key and REC TRACK
SELECT [ST] key will now be steadily lit, and the
stereo track has been selected as the signal for
monitoring.
When you use the TRACK [CUE] key, the signal will be
sent directly to the MONITOR OUT jacks/PHONES
jack (i.e., without passing through a channel), mean-
ing that it will not be possible to use a fader to adjust
the level. Lower the [MONITOR OUT] control/
[PHONES] control so that a high volume is not pro-
duced suddenly from your monitor speakers/head-
phones.
12
Press the Locate section [RTZ] key, and
then press the Transport section PLAY [
]
key.
The “flat” (unprocessed) signal of the stereo track
can now be monitored directly from the MONI-
TOR OUT jacks/PHONES jack.
Tip!
As an alternative way to monitor the flat signal of the
stereo track, you can save a scene in which monitor
channels 1/2 and the stereo output channel are set to
their default settings, and recall this scene when you
want to play back the stereo track.
13
If you are satisfied with the recorded result,
turn off the TRACK [CUE] key.
The REC TRACK SELECT [ST] key will go dark at
the same time. To defeat muting of audio tracks
1–16, access the TRACK screen Stereo page and
turn the M (Mute) button on once again.
Tip!
Each song has only one stereo track. If you perform
the mixdown again, it will be overwrite the previous
stereo track. However even in this case, you can use
the [UNDO]/[REDO] keys to compare the previous
and most recent versions.
