Adding The Synthesizer; Adding The Organ; Adding The Electric Guitar; Adding The Lead Vocal - Yamaha AW2816 Tutorial

Adding the synthesizer

Turn channel 10 "ON". If the synthesizer is too loud
for the other tracks, use fader 10 to lower the level
about 5 dB.

Adding the organ

Turn channel 11 "ON". Make fine adjustments to the
fader so that the sound does not stand out in compari-
son with the other tracks.

Adding the electric guitar

Turn channel 11 "ON". Compared to the other tracks,
the electric guitar track will have a more intense sense
of volume, so you might use fader 12 to lower the
level about 10 dB.

Adding the lead vocal

Some of you probably expected to add the chorus
(tracks 13/14/15) before adding the lead vocal, but in
order to set appropriate levels for the chorus, it is
important to hear it in relation to the lead vocal level.
Turn channel 16 on, and with the pan left in the cen-
ter (the usual position for the lead vocal), set the fader
at approximately nominal level (0 dB).

Adding the chorus

In the intro, the chorus enters before the lead vocal,
and in the final mix a certain amount of automation
will be necessary. But for now, listen to a section of
the song where the lead vocal is heard together with
the chorus, and adjust the level of the chorus section.
Turn on channels 13/14/15, and raise the fader levels
to a point where they will not interfere with the lead
vocal on track 16.

Listening to the rough mix

Although you have already listened to the song
numerous times while creating the rough mix, now
you will listen to the entire song, rather than to an
individual part. Make adjustments as desired.

Saving the song

To save the song, press the WORK NAVIGATE section
[SONG] key to access the SONG screen. As neces-
sary, press the [F1] key to display the Song List page.
Move the cursor in the screen to "SAVE," and press
the [ENTER] key. When the confirmation window
appears, move the cursor to "OK" and press the
[ENTER] key. The song has now been saved.

Saving the scene

Let's save the completed rough mix. Press the SCENE
key, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select a vacant
scene that is displayed as "No Data!" Then move the
cursor to "STORE" and press the [ENTER] key. The
TITLE EDIT popup window will appear, so assign a
name (or leave it unassigned), select "OK" and press
the [ENTER] key.
You can alternately select this scene and another
scene to compare the pre-made rough mix with your
own.
