Aggregate Device
To ensure compatibility with the USB Audio features of Tracker Mini it is
highly recommended to use a Mac or PC set up with an aggregate device.
An aggregate device is a virtual interface created on the PC or Mac to
integrate several audio in and out elements together. This overcomes any
issues with multiple / separate devices used for inputs and outputs to a PC
or Mac and allows audio software such as a DAW to connect seamlessly.
The process of setting up an aggregate device may differ depending on the
OS of the PC or Mac and also the connected devices. A general guide is
provided here as reference only.
