AW2816 Latest Version

Version 1.12 (August 23, 2002)

Fixes and Enhancements
1. Fixes a bug in which the Gain Reduction (GR) meter in the Dynamics page of Recorder Monitor Channel 15 would not display correctly.
2. Fixes a bug in which the last part of a song would not be exported when using Track Export to CD-R/RW to export a track that does not have a Region at the beginning of the song (in other words, a track that was recorded somewhere in the middle of the song). This problem does not occur with Part/Region Export.

Before upgrading:
•Before performing this upgrade, you should backup all your songs and important data to prevent loss due to unexpected mishaps.
•It is not necessary to reformat the internal hard disk to perform the upgrade; however, to optimize the recorded data and ensure reliability, we recommend backing up your data and reformatting your hard disk prior to upgrading.
•Data created with software versions prior to version 1.12 will be compatible with upgraded AW2816 units, so you will be able to use your backup data without any problems. The MIDI Remote and Utility settings differ slightly in the new version, so these settings will be converted accordingly.
