Recording to a sound clip
Chapter 4
Recording to a sound clip
The AW1600 has a Sound Clip function that lets you record and play back
independently of the recorder section. You can use a sound clip to quickly
record and play back your performances on an audio source connected to
the AW1600 or on the pads. This is an ideal way to capture ideas for a song
or arrangement, or to record a simple accompaniment for practicing a part.
This chapter explains how an instrument or mic connected to an input jack
can be recorded as a sound clip.
First, the instrument or mic that you want to record must be connected to a MIC/LINE INPUT
jack. The various types of jack are compatible with the following sources.
● MIC/LINE INPUT (XLR) jacks 1–8
These are XLR-type balanced input jacks. Use a male
XLR ↔ female XLR cable to connect your mic, direct
box, or a guitar/bass preamp that has a balanced output
jack.
● MIC/LINE INPUT (TRS phone) jacks 1–8
These are TRS-type balanced input jacks. Use a 1/4" TRS
phone ↔ female XLR cable to connect your mic, direct
box, or a guitar/bass preamp that has a balanced output
jack.
Alternatively, you can use a 1/4" phone ↔ 1/4" phone
cable to connect an instrument with unbalanced output,
such as a synthesizer or rhythm machine.
● MIC/LINE INPUT jack 8 (Hi-Z)
Use a 1/4" phone ↔ phone cable to directly connect an
electric guitar/bass that has passive pickups.
