UTILIZATION

It takes a few hours to understand the key operating procedures. To discover the hidden face of the beast, it takes a lot to document.
The common functions are easily accessible. I had some anxiety at first, but everything goes very fast once you understand the spirit of the machine.
The manual is far from enough. It will take an external doc: internet, friends, literature mastering ... Indeed, each sound recording is different. It saves not metal like blues, or pop. And unfortunately no tip on the sound of an instrument is given. The manual explains the role of dynamic, equalizers etc ... but not how to truly apply it to each instrument. However the models (or libraries) are pre recorded and applied to each instu.

SOUNDS

The sound is very good. To produce a model that is just right. To distribute to Potex, bars or a prod '. If the sound is bad ca just not the sound of the machine. Review its microphones and musicians.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, and yes it is new. But it's my favorite toy. The ability to independently mastered each track (eq + dyn) is a big Attout of the machine and provides a more than acceptable for a model. And a 16-track is already formidable. VALUE FOR MONEY COPY.
You can go to the website of my group where a small demo recorded entirely using the AW16G http://www.takeoff.ht.st is available. Matos used: micro Battery Park HQ, guitar amp line input Line 6, Kustom bass amp line input, microphone Sennheiser E825 vocal, no mic pre amp or capacitor.
For more information on registration contact me ostracise@aol.com. Do not be too demanding when the quality of the mix, it does not a week that I have the beast. But it is well representative of its possibilities.
