Routing an Input Channel via Busses to a Recording Track on an AW4416

One way to route Input Channels to Recording Tracks is via the eight (8) Busses. The ''Bus-to-Track'' relationships are as follows:

Bus-to-Track Relationships
Bus Recording Tracks
1 1 and 9
2 2 and 10
3 3 and 11
4 4 and 12
5 5 and 13
6 6 and 14
7 7 and 15
8 8 and 16

EXAMPLE: If Input Channel 5 is routed to Bus 1 then the audio from Input Channel 5 can be recorded on Tracks 1 and 9. However, recording can only occur on a Track that is actually record enabled or ''armed''.

TIP: Most of the actions in the Steps below can also be performed by an attached mouse.

Starting with Initial Data: (optional)
WARNING: All current parameter settings will be lost. If the current settings and data are not expendable, store the data to an unused Scene before executing the the 'Initial Data' Scene recall.

  1. Press the [SCENE] button located above the (DATA/JOG) dial.
  2. Press the [F1] button below the screen.
  3. Select "00. Initia Data" using the (DATA/JOG) dial.
  4. Press the [RECALL] button located above the (DATA/JOG) dial. A confirmation window will appear, unless 'Recall Confirmation' has been disabled in the 'UTILITIES: Prefer 1. page'.
  5. Use the CURSOR' buttons to select 'OK'.
  6. Press the [ENTER] button. All existing ''Input-to-Bus'' assignments will be cleared.

Routing an Input to a Bus:
  1. Press the [PAN] button to view the main 'PAN/ROUTING' screen.
  2. Press the [F1] button to select the 'PAN 1-16' page. On this page, Input Channels 1-16 can be assigned to the 8 Busses.

    NOTE: The numbers '1-16' in this screen represent the 16 Input Channels. Under each Input Channel, boxes '1-8' represent the 8 busses and the 'ST' box represents the Stereo Bus.

  3. Using the 'CURSOR' buttons, highlight the desired Bus under the desired Input Channel.
  4. Press the [ENTER] button. The box will be ''filled'' or ''darkened'' when actually selected.

    At this point, the selected Input Channel is now assigned to the selected Bus and the audio signal at the selected Input Channel/Bus can be recorded on the corresponding Recording Track(s). (Refer to the 'Bus-to-Track Relationships' table above.)

NOTE: The same procedures found in steps 3 and 4 can be used to deselect or unassign an Input Channel to a Bus. The [ENTER] button will toggle the setting of the selected Bus of the selected Input Channel.
