Yamaha Music Production Music Mixer User Manual


 
the sense that the MIDI sequencer will run along
side the Audio Workstation tracks in perfect
synchronization. One of the main strengths of
MIDI is that it is repeatable time and time again
without varying. The AW2816/4416 is capable of
handling eight channels of “live” input (each
channel having its own EQ and dynamics
processors) as well as playing back sixteen
channels of audio from the hard disk (each
channel having its own EQ and dynamics
processors).

Therefore, many users will setup
their MIDI rigs to playback live during the
mixdown session. It really will depend on your
music, your musical concept and your approach to
music composition. With all the processing muscle
you have available in the AW2816 and AW4416
you really do have some creative options. The
idea is to know the rules, learn the tools and write
your own script as to how you use it. You can use
a combination of methods. “Whatever it takes” is
the general rule.
Happy recording…
