The Motif Studio (AW1600/AW16G + Motif)
Scenario E: Combining Motif Sequenced Tracks "live" with AW1600/AW16G recorded tracks, and burning the combined session/mix to CD
Back to the Tutorials

You will need to have a good working understanding of the MOTIF (especially the sequencing operations) and the basic record operations of the AW1600/AW16G.

STEP 1. Synchronize the Motif to the MIDI clock in the AW1600/AW16G (as described in Scenario C and Scenario D).

STEP 2. Press the [RECORD] key on the AW1600/AW16G to access the MIXDOWN screen.

AW16G Mixdown Menu

STEP 3. Move the cursor to the REC button of the MIXDOWN page, and press the [ENTER] key to turn the button on. The panel [STEREO] key will blink red. This blinking indicates that the stereo track is in record-ready mode.

STEP 4. Press the [INPUT SEL] key or pad that corresponds to the input channel or pad channel you want to use, to add that channel as a mixdown source.

STEP 5. In the Selected Channel section, repeatedly press the [VIEW] key to access the FADER page of the VIEW screen.

AW16G Faders

Adjust the onscreen faders to control the level of the Motif connected to the AW1600/AW16G. Be sure and lower the onscreen faders for inputs that are not in use.

STEP 6. Press REC and PLAY to mixdown your AW16G tracks and the Motif's output on to the master Stereo Track.

STEP 7. If you are happy with the resulting mix, burn it on to a CD.
