Track operations and editing
This chapter explains how to use and edit the tracks of the recorder section.
The AW2400 has the following types of track.
● Audio Tracks
The physical tracks used to record and play back audio
data are called “audio tracks,” or simply “tracks.” The
AW2400 has twenty-four audio tracks.
● Stereo Track
Independently from audio tracks 1–24, the AW2400 has a
“stereo track” that records and plays a stereo audio signal.
The stereo track is used mainly as a dedicated mixdown
track for recording the final mix.
● Virtual Tracks
Each audio track 1–24 and the stereo track consists of
eight tracks. Each of these eight tracks is called a “virtual
track.” For the audio tracks and the stereo track, only one
virtual track can be recorded or played at any time.
The diagram below shows the concept of virtual tracks.
The horizontal rows indicate audio tracks 1–24, and the
vertical columns correspond to virtual tracks 1–8. The
shaded areas indicate the virtual track that is currently
selected for recording or playback.
● Trigger Tracks
The “Trigger Track” function allows the track [ON] keys
and faders to be used to start and stop playback of
recorded tracks. When the Trigger Track function is active
pressing a track channel [ON] key begins playback of the
corresponding track from the beginning of the song to the
end of the data recorded on that track.
