Operation section
Re-recording fader operations
The AW2816’s AUTOMIX screen contains a Fader Edit
page in which you can watch previously-recorded
fader movements while you record new fader move-
ments. This page is convenient when you want to
make detailed changes afterward to the fader move-
ments. As an example, we will explain how previ-
ously-recorded movements of the monitor channel 1
fader can be edited in a specific section of the song.
The Fader Edit page lets you view only the fader
movements of the monitor channels, input channels,
return channels, and stereo output channel. This
method cannot be used to edit AUX send fader opera-
tions or REMOTE screen fader operations.
1
Locate the song to a location slightly earlier
than the point at which you want to start
punch-in.
2
Press the [AUTOMIX] key
→
[F1] key.
Make sure that the AUTOMIX button is displayed
as “ENABLE.”
3
Move the cursor to the OVERWRITE area.
Turn the FADER button on, and the other
buttons (CH ON, PAN, EQ) off.
4
Press the [F3] key.
The Fader Edit page will appear.
5
Press the RECORDER [1-8] key to select
monitor channels 1–8 as the mixing layer.
In the center of the display, the current fader
positions of monitor channels 1–8 (and the stereo
output channel and return channels 1/2) will be
displayed as a bar graph.
6
Make sure that the FADER EDIT MODE area
ABSOLUTE button is turned on.
The two buttons in the FADER EDIT MODE area
are used to select the fader editing method. If the
ABSOLUTE button is on, the previously-recorded
events will be erased, and the new events will be
recorded.
Tip!
The RELATIVE button is used when you want to apply
a relative change to the previously-recorded fader
events. For details refer to page 338.
7
Move the cursor to the FADER EDIT OUT
area. Turn the END button off, and the RET
button on.
The END button of the FADER OUT AREA speci-
fies whether to erase any events of the same type
that were previously recorded after the point at
which automix recording stopped. The RET but-
ton specifies whether faders will return (after
punch-out) to the locations that were previously
recorded at the punch-out point. In cases such as
this example, where we want to edit the fader
movement in a specific section of the song, set
END=off and RET=on. If the RET button is on, the
knob located at the right of the button can be
used to specify the time (TIME) over which the
faders will return to their previously-recorded
positions.
Tip!
• For details on the functions of the FADER EDIT OUT
area buttons END and RET, refer also to page 338.
• The setting of the FADER EDIT OUT area RET but-
ton has no effect on how operations other than fad-
ers are recorded.

Move the cursor to the AUTO REC button
in the screen, and press the [ENTER] key.
