Song management
This chapter explains how to perform song management operations such as
copying, deleting, backing up, and restoring songs.
On the AW2400, your recorded compositions are man-
aged in units called “songs.” When you save a song on the
hard disk, the audio data, scene memories, and the data for
each library are all stored together. By loading a saved
song, you can return it to the original condition at any
time.
You can store as many songs on the internal hard disk as
its capacity allows. Songs stored on hard disk are divided
into a song file containing all the basic setup information
for the song, and WAV files containing the audio data.
The AW2400 allows the bit depth of individual songs to
be set to either 16 or 24 bits. 24-bit songs are capable of
providing higher audio quality than 16-bit songs, but the
following limitations on the number of simultaneous
record/playback tracks apply.
*For mixdown the number of simultaneous record tracks is two, and the
number of simultaneous playback tracks is 24 for 16-bit songs, or 12
for 24-bit songs.
Only 24-bit audio data can be used in 24-bit songs. 16-bit
WAV files cannot be imported from a computer or CD-
RW drive. Audio data imported from audio CDs, however,
will be automatically converted to 24-bit format. In the
same way, only 16-bit audio data can be used in 16-bit
songs.
