On the AW2816, the recording source of the 16 tracks can be changed in the Recorder Track
Input Assign section of the Patch In screen. To view this screen, press the [PATCH] button
Then press the [F1] button.
Stereo Bus Assign
On each channel, there is a switch to assign it to the stereo bus. The stereo bus of the mixer is
where all of the signals are combined and then routed to the stereo outputs of the mixer. In a
recording setup the stereo bus outputs would be connected to a 2-track recorder such as a CD
recorder, DAT (Digital Audio Tape) recorder, or an analog 2-track recorder.
Typically, when using a split recording console such as the AW2816, the input channels would
not be assigned to the stereo bus but the playback channels would. This allows for the input
signal to be adjusted without affecting what is heard in the control room. If both the input and
playback channels are assigned to the stereo bus, then the signal will be heard twice and will
therefore be inaccurate.
Pan Pot
The pan pot pans the channel signal between the left and right side of the stereo bus as well as
between the odd and even numbered busses. If a channel's pan pot is turned completely to the
left, then that channel will only be heard in the left speaker. If it is turned completely to the right
then it will only be heard in the right speaker. If the pan pot is set to the center position, then it
will be heard in both speakers equally.
For bus send assignments, adjusting the pan pot will pan the channel between the odd and even
numbered busses. For example, if a channel is assigned Bus Sends 1 and 2 and is panned all of
the way to the left, then it will only go Bus Send 1. If it is panned all of the way to the right, then
it only go Bus Send 2.
The panning of a channel can be adjusted in the Channel View screen or the Pan/Route screen.
Fader
The fader is used to adjust the volume of the channel. When setting levels, it is best to try to
keep the fader near the 0 mark.
Fader Group
The AW2816 allows grouping of faders together. When faders are grouped together any fader
within the group can control the level of the rest of the faders within the fader group. This is
very useful for drums and background vocals. The fader groups can be set within the Channel
View screen
