Recording additional tracks (Overdubbing)
This section explains how you can listen to the rhythm
machine (drums) recorded on tracks 1/2 while you
overdub an electric bass connected to the INPUT 8
(HI-Z) jack onto track 3.

Setting the input level

1
While playing the bass connected to the
INPUT 8 (HI-Z) jack, adjust [GAIN] control
8 so that PEAK indicator 8 flickers faintly
when you play the loudest.
Tip!
• The INPUT 8 (HI-Z) jack is for directly connecting
instruments with a high output impedance, such as
an electric guitar or electric bass with passive pick-
ups.
• It is not possible to use the INPUT 8 TRS phone jack
and HI-Z jack simultaneously. If plugs are inserted
into both, the HI-Z jack will take priority.

While producing sound on your instru-
ment, watch the level meters in the screen
and check the input level of input channel
8.
When the AW2816 is in the default state, the
input signal of INPUT jack 8 is patched to input
channel 8. If the input channel 8 level meter
reaches the "OVER" position, make sure that
fader 8 is in the 0 dB position, and lower [GAIN]
control 8.
Patching the input signal to the
recorder input
Now we will change the internal settings so that the
bass signal that is being input to input channels 8 will
be sent to the input of track 3.

Press the [VIEW] key
The VIEW screen CH View page will appear. This
page displays all mix parameters of the currently
selected channel. (Here you can also edit the
main parameters of the channel.) It is convenient
to use this page when you want to edit the mix
parameters of a specific channel.
In "Recording the first track," we used the PAN/
ROUTE screen to defeat the stereo bus assign-
ment, but here we will use the VIEW screen CH
View page to perform the same operation.
