Forgot that I had the machine set to 24 bit and recorded to tracks 9 & 10.
It allowed me to set everything as normal, levels, inputs to the channels etc, the red light even came on when recording. Then nothing
No sound from these channels.
Well there wouldn't be would there as you only have 8 channels for 24bit.

Took me a little while to figure it out.

Would be nice to have a message like "You are in 24bit mode Dumbo" or similar.

Don't get caught out guys

I won't get caught at that...I like using 9/10 as my drum bed from the sequencer. I haven't even tried 24-bit yet, kinda afraid I might like it too much...Then be disappointed with a 16-bit end product....

ok .. can not be recorded at 24 bits in the tracks 9-16 but it is possible to move some track (1-8) to the tracks 9-16 in 24-bit mode?

You mean "Oh I see"?

You need to bounce either to 1-8 or any of their virtual tracks.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

then, I can not move a track 1-8 to 9-16 tracks directly, for to the mix of 12 tracks for example?

Hmmm I guess this involves a test , but I still don't think so. Never actually tried it.

I would really like to see an update that gives me the option of not seeing...

Another good reason not to use 24 bit on the AW's. It's a half arse attempt at offering the higher quality, but has it's caveat. So, if you need 24 bit, don't need so many tracks. Maybe one day Yamaha will come out with a 24 bit unit that houses a 500gb hard drive, external monitor and mouse and 24 individual faders for $999.

rz-land

wouldn't that be cool

anyways I know I probably sound like I'm on Steinberg's payroll, but using Cubase to mix on makes the 1600's only limitation recording 8 tracks at a time in 24 bit...until the 2nd time around...then it's 7...

A lot of speculations here...

I have just tried in 24 bit mode in my AW1600 that it is possible to:
Record to tracks 9-16 using analog in or even digital in (connected to in 1-8)
Move tracks 9-16 to any other track even the stereo track

This opens up big possibilites for those like me that want to connect
an external effect processor digitally when mixing down for example.

I have just tested to connect my tc electronic finalizer express digitally with good results.
The only thing is that it not possible to listen to the result after the effect processor
during recording because that would create a loop and oscillation.
The analog outs of the effect processor can of course be used for monitoring or connect
everything to a mixer.
