PTLE/DIGI001 Yamaha AW4416

two questions: 1: Whats the best method to sync PTLE to the AW4416 2: suppose: 16 tracks on AW4416 8 tracks on PTLE If 8 tracks from PTLE return to AW441 (ADAT I/0) can I record a stereo track back bases on 24 tracks to PTLE in a other session for mastering purposes?

I'm sorry but I'm just about to turn in... it's 0305 Hrs here and I'm too tired to answer this tonight. But rest assured that I will answer this tomorrow, and I can definitely help you with this - I've got two AW4416's and, all modesty aside, I'm considered an "expert" with them as well as with locking them to things - including PT. Hang in there a few hours - help's on the way.

Hi AW4416 & the 001 make a killer rig MTC out from the AW to midi in on the 001. You may have to change a setting in pro tools sync menu. Click the sync button on pro tools transport and Bob should be your uncle! As for your other question. You could run the s/dif stereo out from the AW to the 001 and record it to a spare stereo track in your pro tools session. Then bounce just that stereo track, or open the two (L & R) tracks into a new session. That way you can have your 24 tracks running out of the AW and still record your Stereo track on pro tools. AW also has a stereo track available for mix down but I have never used it. That might be another way to go. Good luck

Hey Phil! I have tried to send you a PM bit can't seem to get it working! You seem to know alot about the Yamaha Aw4416 and I think you might be able to help me with a problem I have! Hopefully you can When I go to arm a track ready to record, I am Getting a message that reads "play track mute is on" And it isn't letting me get a level into the desk, and therefore not record anything! Although when I turn the gain up full and tap the mic, the peal button is flashing so I know there is a signal coming in, just not getting any further! None of the tracks are directly muted on the track screen either! Really don't know what it is! I think it happened when I went to recall a scene that had no data in it by accident, as in, scene 00, but surely that shouldnt do anything? That is just when I noticed there was no level coming into the desk, it might not have anything to do with it! Any help you can give me is really very appreciated! Thanks alot, Danny.
