Effects
In this section we’ll cover operation of the AW2400’s internal effects.
The AW2400 has four independent multi-effect processors built in (Effect 1–4). The internal
effects can be used in the following two ways.
This method uses the mixer section’s effect “sends” and
“returns”. To apply an effect to a channel the channel’s
effect send controls are used to send the signal to the input
of Effect 1–4 via the corresponding effect bus. The output
from the effect processor used is returned to the stereo bus
or bus 1/bus 2 via the corresponding effect return channel
(Effect Return 1–4), and is mixed with the direct sound.
The following diagram shows the input and output signal
flow for effects 1–4.
In this case an effect is inserted into a channel’s signal
path in order to apply the effect only to that channel. The
effect sound is mixed with the direct channel signal within
the channel itself and then sent to the stereo bus or a
recorder track. Please note that an effect which has been
inserted into one channel cannot be simultaneously
inserted into another channel or used via the effect sends
and returns.
Effects can be inserted on the following channels.
• Input channels
• Track channels
• Stereo output channel
• Bus master channels
• AUX send master channels
Effects can be inserted at any of the following three points
in a channel (the diagram shows an input channel).
1 Before the EQ stage (pre-EQ).
B
Between the EQ stage and fader (post-EQ
pre-fader).
C After the fader (post-fader).

• In addition to the effects provided by the four effect processors, the
AW2400 provides a “Pitch Fix” function for correcting the pitch of
vocal tracks. Refer to “Correcting a Vocal Track (Pitch Fix)” on
