The output from various software, such as Reason™, Live™, Tracktion™, and Logic™ can be sent to
the program channels for mixing, and the final mix recorded for broadcast/podcasting. This is also a
nice setup for recording your record collection for posterity. You could also play timecode vinyl and set
up a virtual turntable on the laptop. In this way, you can use the physical turntable to control any musical
tracks added to the virtual turntable.
Using the program source switch, each
program can quickly select from three
different inputs without repatching:
• FireWire
• Line or Phono (set Line/Phono switch)
• CD Player (or other line-level)
