1. Recording on the Aw2816

Welcome to the world of the AW2816!

If you have an interest in music production, you prob-

ably know that the songs of the artists you see on tele-

vision and in magazines are produced in

sophisticated recording and mixing studios using lots

of expensive equipment, and pass through numerous

processes under the care of professional sound engi-

neers who have a wealth of specialized knowledge.

Into the AW2816 is packed the functionality used for

every process that happens in these large and sophis-

ticated studios. If the optional CD-RW drive is

installed, the entire process from recording to CD pro-

duction can be carried out completely within the

AW2816, and all at professional quality.

Starting with a powerful digital mixer of equivalent

quality with the Yamaha 02R mixing console (the de-

facto standard for digital recording), the AW2816

includes an automix function that records and repro-

duces the operations of the mixer section, two digital

multi-effect units with a rich array of functions, a com-

pletely uncompressed 16-track recorder that supports

not only 16 bit CD-quality but also 24 bit recording/

playback that captures even the most subtle nuances,

and many other functions.

If you already have experience using a digital mixing

console or digital recorder, operating the AW2816

will soon feel completely natural to you, and you will

quickly be amazed at the astounding amount of func-

tionality that is packed into such a small unit. On the

other hand if you are new to this type of equipment,

be reassured that the AW2816 is designed to make it

easy for you to fully use every bit of its powerful func-

tionality.

Although this tutorial will guide you through a full

range of actual operations, this is just the ﬁrst step in

understanding the full potential of the AW2816. We

hope that by working through this tutorial, you will

acquire your very own know-how that will help you

take full advantage of the AW2816.
