Exchanging Song Data With Other AW-series Audio Workstations

Exchanging Song Data With Other AW-series Audio Workstations
You can back up an AW2400 song in a format that is compatible with the other AW-series
(AW4416/AW2816/AW1600/AW16G). Conversely, a song that was backed up by the other AW-
series can be restored into the AW2400.
NOTE
• Only the audio data recorded in a song can be exchanged with the other AW-series workstations.
Mix parameters, libraries, and system data cannot be backed-up/restored in this way.
■ Backing up an AW2400 song in a format
compatible with the other AW-series
If you turn on the AW2816 button in the Backup page of
the SONG screen, the data will be saved in the AW2816
backup file format.
An AW2816 backup file can be restored into the other
AW-series (version 2.0 or later for AW4416). For the pro-
cedure, refer to "Backing up songs," earlier in this manual.
NOTE
• Backup in the AW2816 backup file format is limited to one song at
a time.
• When you perform a backup in the AW2816 backup file format,
data other than the audio tracks will not be backed up. All virtual
tracks for tracks 1–16 are backup up. Tracks 17–24 are not backed
up. Only the current track data for stereo track is backed up. Only
44.1kHz/16-bit songs are supported.
• Depending on the data size, some songs can't be saved as
AW2816 backup files. If this problem occurs use the Optimize
function to reduce the data size.
