Connecting a digital recorder such as MD or DAT
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.
Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB posi-
tion, 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.
When you have finished adjusting the
sound and the levels, put your digital
recorder in record mode, then play the
AW1600 from the beginning and perform
the mixdown.
You do not need to turn on the REC button in the
MIXDOWN page at this time.
When you have finished the mixdown, stop
the AW1600 and your digital recorder.
