Chapter5—Recording on the AW4416
— Operation Guide 97
Tip!
As an alternative to using the Solo function, you can also monitor just a specific
track by pressing the TRACK [CUE] switch in the level meters/counter section, and
then using [REC TRACK SELECT] keys 1–16 to select a track. By using this method,
the direct output of the recorder (the signal that has not passed through the monitor
channel) can be sent directly to the MONITOR OUT jacks and the PHONES jack.
2. Move the cursor to the SOLO STATUS area, and select one of the follow-
ing two modes for the Solo function.
❍ RECORDING SOLO
In this mode, the solo signal is routed through the dedicated SOLO bus and out-
put from the MONITOR OUT jacks and PHONES jack. The stereo bus and buses
1–8 will not be affected. You can monitor even channels that are not assigned to
the stereo bus or to buses 1–8, or channels whose [ON] key is turned off.
Tip!
If you will be using the Solo function during multitrack recording, it is convenient to
select RECORDING SOLO so that specific channels can be monitored without
affecting the stereo bus or buses 1–8.
❍ MIXDOWN SOLO
In this mode, the solo signal is routed through the stereo bus and output from the
MONITOR OUT jacks and PHONES jack. When the Solo function is turned on,
only the soloed channels will be sent to the stereo bus, and the remaining chan-
nels will be muted. It will not be possible to monitor channels whose [ON] key is
turned off, nor channels that are not assigned to the stereo bus.
If MIXDOWN SOLO mode is selected, the Solo Setup page LISTEN settings and
LEVEL settings will be ignored (they will be grayed out).
In this example, we will use MIXDOWN SOLO mode. Move the cursor to the
MIXDOWN SOLO button, and press the [ENTER] key.
3. Move the cursor to the SEL MODE area, and choose one of the following
ways in which the channel(s) to be monitored in Solo mode will be
selected.
❍ LAST SOLO
When the [SOLO] key is on, only the channel whose [ON] key was pressed last
will be monitored.
❍ MIX SOLO
When the [SOLO] key is on, all channels selected by their [ON] key will be mon-
itored.
Move the cursor to one of these buttons, and press the [ENTER] key.
4. Move the cursor to the SOLO SAFE CHANNEL section, and select the
channel(s) that you wish to set to Solo Safe mode.
Solo Safe is a function that excludes specified channels from the Solo function
when MIXDOWN SOLO mode is selected. Move the cursor to the button(s) for
the channel(s) that you wish to set to Solo Safe, and press the [ENTER] key. (You
may select more than one channel.)
