Song management
This chapter explains song management operations such as saving, load-
ing, deleting, or copying songs.
About songs
On the AW4416, all the data necessary to reproduce a musical composition you
create (i.e., mixer settings, recorder settings, audio data, etc.) is saved in the inter-
nal hard disk as a “song.” By loading a song into internal memory, you can return
to the saved state at any time. A song includes the following data.
• Audio data for all virtual tracks
• TRACK screen settings (including locate point settings)
• Tempo map settings
• Scene memories
• Automix memory
• Patch library
• EQ library
• Dynamics library
• Channel library
• Data and settings for the Sampling Pad function
• Song name and comment
• Counter display method (SECOND/TIME CODE/MEASURE)
• Song Protect setting
• Time Code Top setting
• Region Fade Time setting
• Undo data
Tip!
• Multiple songs can be saved on the internal hard disk. However, only the sin-
gle song currently being controlled on the AW4416 (the “current song”) can
be handled at any given time.
• When the power of the AW4416 is turned on, the most-recently saved song
will be loaded automatically.
Be aware that if you turn off the power of the AW4416 without saving the current
song, any changes in the current song will be lost. When you wish to turn off the
power of the AW4416, you must perform the shut-down procedure (→ P.17).
